"Max Blumenthal claimed that Donald Trump fears for his life due to Israel's sophisticated assassination methods.
These remarks were made in July 2025 and are part of Blumenthal's broader accusations regarding Israeli influence and foreign policy.
Summary of Blumenthal's claim:
In the clip from the podcast, Blumenthal alleges that Trump isn't just "bought by Israel," but is also afraid of them.
He suggests that Trump is controlled by Washington's "political class," which is influenced by the powerful Israeli lobby group AIPAC, and that Trump's actions demonstrate there are "simply no red lines" with Israel.
Wider context:
These statements reflect Blumenthal's consistent and highly critical views on Israel's foreign policy and its influence on US politics.
Trump's actions:
Blumenthal frames Trump's actions, such as showing what he alleges is unwavering support for Israel, as a sign of fear and subjugation.
AIPAC's influence:
He also claims that the American political establishment is under the "sway of AIPAC," which prevents US leaders from opposing Israel's policies.
Allegations of Israeli violence:
Blumenthal has a long history of making claims about Israeli assassinations.
In August 2025, he posted on X (formerly Twitter) about Israel's alleged history of plotting assassinations against figures like Hamas leaders Sinwar and Deif.
In other social media posts, he has claimed Israel was behind the assassination of the Yemeni prime minister and Iranian scientists."

Why would we let the Ottoman Empire reconstitute itself again?
They shouldn't have sided with the Germans. They lost that war.
Israel now exists because of it and with Israel there we secure the region from forming an empire that can threaten us.
Its like an investment our grandparents made and throwing it away would be a waste of blood and treasure.

Israel is a state that doesn't threaten us because they are surrounded by millions of other people that hate them and they need us to survive.
Which is the best kind of friend to have. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

The US created Israel. So tell the survivors what?
Your government made a mistake?
Israel as a state is keeping our enemies in check.
People that we went to war with in World War 1.
If we don't keep them in check then they will be able to threaten us in another world war.
Israel does it for us and they pay the lions share of the costs to do it and we reap the benefits.

Are you saying that Israel is keeping Germany in check, or that we sent one single soldier to Gallipoli?
Israel has demonstrably killed more Americans than the Ottomans ever did.

Im saying that our leaders are smart enough to think 100 years into the future.
We went to war to make the world safe for democracy.
You do that by keeping your enemies in check.
You do that by creating a state whose sole purpose is to keep your enemies in check.
They called it the war that would end all wars. That wasn't the outcome though but it certainly broke up an empire that could threaten us today if it were still around.

At the time they weren't even smart enough to figure out if they wanted a League of Nations or not. And weren't yet influential enough to prevent Versailles from becoming what Churchill called a twenty year truce.
You're talking thirty years before Israel was created. That's idiotic.

Maybe they were smart enough about it that they wanted Germany to break up the British Empire too.
We didn't join the league of nations for good reason. The world wasn't composed of nations.
There were still a bunch of empires back then.

The only thing you're good at is debunking yourself.

Im not debunking the idea of Israel being a state that the USA had a hand in creating.
Jews have had a tremendous influence in our nation for hundreds of years.
They are Europeans a lot of them and they immigrated to the United States and helped to create the modern shared culture that constitutes the nation of the United States.
The idea that they are a state and that democracy was able to exist in that state was something that we had more than a hand in.
