Dear Glenn.
First of all, and most importantly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful courage and your profound intellectual honesty. I love Tucker and I enjoy Jimmy Dore and the GreyZone; but, you are the only one for whom I make an effort to watch every single show. And, your shows are uniformly magnificent. Such a joy to get my news from such a trusted source.
Among the many issues that you’ve addressed with a lovely integrity is the genocide of the Palestinian population at the hands of the Israelis. And, Trump’s sociopathic approach to the topic has been quite disturbing.
Since the moment Trump came down the “golden escalator,” I’ve liked the guy. And, since I met him a year later in a small gathering and realized that “he’s not the guy he plays on TV” (I SWEAR Bill Maher stole my line), I’ve been completely in his camp and - for better or worse - have been dumped by some formerly very dear friends because of it. So, it’s sad to come to the conclusion that they may have been partially correct. It sounds a lot like Trump is blaming the Gazans for Israel’s decimation of their land.
All my life, the news has, more or less gleefully, reported on “Israeli Air Strikes” which were undoubtedly conducted with the finest fighter bombers the US tax payer could provide. Finally, after at least 56 years of this, the Palestinians mounted a hang-glider version of an air strike; and, the Zionists are pretending that all history began on October 7, 2023. It’s repellant (and heartbreaking) that Trump is falling for this shit.
I have one data point that may be of interest to you in regard to Trump’s quite insane responses. Just before the election, Howard Lutnick was bragging to some interviewer (I imagine on Fox) that he was working quite closely with Jared Kushner to populate the upcoming Trump administration. This proclamation was quite disturbing to me at the time; because, I had thought that one of the most important lessons of the first term was to eschew the influence of Javanka. Trump (I imagine realizing that this was the consensus of most of his supporters) certainly kept them scarce while he was running this time. I was worried then because of what I imagined was a Neocon influence. Now, I think I realize that the most disturbing take home from that interview should have been that, together, Jared and Howard were populating Trump’s administration with people who would insure that it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Zionist State.
So deeply grateful to you for exposing this phenomenon.
Lastly, and - by far - least importantly, you misuse the word anathema often. You use it as an adjective and it’s a noun. If I didn’t love you so much, I wouldn’t mention it. But, I do love you, so I will.

Thanks, again. And, wonderful wishes in everything for you and your boys.
