All decisions actions have costs, including not taking action. JD Vance is not talking about the big picture. Why, when he is smart enough to see it? [IsraelTimes] Christians United for Israel calls the vice president’s comments a ‘dog whistle’ faulting Jews; Jewish leader: ‘It makes you wonder why he would make such a claim’
Conservative pro-Israel voices are lashing out at Vice President JD Vance after he linked the Republican Party’s massive midterm losses to the country’s relationship with Israel and the war in Iran.
Vance on Wednesday said that "the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone." Citing an unidentified pollster, he alleged the top demands of voters who had left the Republican side were: end the war in Iran; focus on the cost of living and inflation; put America first and "change our relationship to Israel."
Eric Levine, a board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he doesn’t "recall seeing a single exit poll in which any voter identified ’change our relationship with Israel’ as a factor in their voting decision."
"It makes you wonder why he would make such a claim," Levine added.

...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
, slammed the vice president and cited his "constant calls for a ceasefire" as the reason why the conflict with Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has persisted.
"Vance is a disloyal, agenda-driven problem for our party moving forward," Rosenberg wrote on X, urging Trump to replace him as chief Iran negotiator with Secretary of State Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
, a favorite of Rosenberg’s and other Jewish conservatives for the 2028 GOP presidential nod.
Rosenberg has long criticized Vance for not being "strong enough on Israel" and has demanded that Vance distance himself from Tucker Carlson, a right-wing commentator who condemns US military aid for Israel and who has been accused of amplifying antisemitic tropes.
In September, Rosenberg accepted an invitation to meet with Vance at the White House, as the vice president attempted to make overtures to the Jewish community following a series of controversial remarks about Israel. Following the meeting, Rosenberg reported that he and Vance "hit it off," adding that the two men would likely have "many more meetings about very substantial things" in the future.
"He is willing to listen," Rosenberg said at the time. "I don’t think by any stretch that JD Vance hates Israel, hates the Jewish people."
Jonathan Greenberg, director for combating antisemitism at Defending Education and a former staffer for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, told JTA earlier this week that he viewed Vance’s comments as "nonsense."
"The same Islamist-communist alliance that’s infiltrating our schools and teaching our kids to hate America is the same alliance that Israel is fighting," said Greenberg, who ran for state office in Illinois as a Republican in 2012 but is now unaffiliated.
"The idea that we’re going to take an ally in that fight and feed them to the same ogre that’s coming after us makes absolutely no sense to me," he added. "I think the vice president’s wrong."
CUFI Action Fund, a nonprofit branch of the pro-Israel advocacy group Christians United for Israel, described the vice president in a statement as "clearly, demonstrably and unambiguously wrong."
"In a list of the top four reasons the Republicans lost, the Jews were effectively blamed twice if you can hear that pitch of dog whistle," the statement said, referring to Vance pointing fingers at both Israel and the war in Iran.
"This war should’ve been over months ago, and if the vice president wants someone to blame for that, he needs only look in the mirror," the organization said, alluding to the argument that Vance’s proposed concessions to Iran helped drag out the war instead of ending it. "The Vance-Carlson movement, which we call woke rightism, is as loud as their candidates are weak."
Trump repeats that he was fine with Vance’s comments tying Iran war to midterms loss
[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump continues to insist that he has no problem with Vice President JD Vance’s assertion that the Iran war and Washington’s ties with Israel cost Republicans the midterms.
However, Trump notes that Vance should have also noted — as the president has — that the economic toll of the Iran war has not been enough for him to regret the decision to have launched it in the first place.
“A lot of people didn’t like his comments, but not me,” Trump tells reporters.
“He was right. Other than one thing. He should have made one other statement, which I think is very important. If you had it to do again, would you do it again? The answer is yes,” Trump says.
“This, historically, will go down as one of the best things we ever did because if [Iran] ever had a nuclear weapon, they would blow up the world… Because they’re crazy,” he adds.
Rubio: Trump’s war on Iran not ‘necessarily popular’ but needed to stop nuclear threat
[IsraelTimes] US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that US President Donald Trump launched the war against Iran even if it was not “necessarily popular” to safeguard the world from the country’s nuclear ambitions.
Asked about Vice President JD Vance’s social media post last week that largely blamed the war for the Republican losses in the midterm elections, Rubio tells reporters that Trump “identified a very real threat” in Iran and worked to stop the Islamic Republic from pursuing a nuclear weapon.
“He addressed it even though oftentimes the right thing to do for the country — confronting difficult challenges for the security of our country — doing it isn’t necessarily popular, but necessary,” Rubio says in Florida before heading to a Group of 7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris.
Rubio says that negotiations are not progressing and acknowledges that the US will take defensive actions if needed.
“If there’s a clear and present threat to shipping or to our forces in the region, we have a right to defend ourselves,” Rubio adds.
