A Terrible Friend
Among the horrors of Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists raped Israeli women to death, raped them and murdered them in front of husbands and families, including children.
Such brutality is hard to hear.
But sometimes we should hear it.
For some time, President Trump has said that Turkish dictator Erdogan is his friend. A good guy. A partner.
At the very same time, the strongman is a true friend of Hamas. Of the Muslim Brotherhood (the mothership of Islamic terrorism). He loves any and all killers of Jews. Erdogan is a suit-wearing terrorist, propping up killers and a hateful enemy of Israel. He wants Israel dead and forgotten.
How ironic that he will go the way of all these thugs. Like Nasser, Arafat, Assad…he will “go down to the pit” as Scripture tells us. If he read history, he would tremble in his shoes.
We could speculate why Trump says what he says about Erdogan and Turkey, but it would probably be a waste of time. At a fundamental level—this is hard to write—I think the present American administration does not understand Islam at all. Having paid close attention to all this for years—since Steve Emerson’s warnings in the 90s—I also believe many American politicians and diplomats have allied themselves with Islam. This allegedly is the case with former CIA Director John Brennan, who it is said converted to Islam.
Former Nixon foreign policy advisor Robert Dickson Crane did in 1980. He also advised Reagan’s campaign.
I fear many, many more are taking money from Muslim countries in the Middle East.
Those are terrible, but equally terrible is the clueless “leaders” we have operating now.
“Since 2003, the ties between Hamas and Erdoğan’s Turkey have grown stronger and have been manifested by Turkey’s hosting senior movement figures, political and diplomatic support and economic and humanitarian assistance. Hamas turned Turkey into an important foothold from which it directs attacks on Israeli targets and raises funds to finance terrorist activities.
“In July 2026, it was reported that the Hamas leadership had begun transferring its organizational activity from Qatar to Turkey. That followed the attempted Israeli attack on senior Hamas figures in Doha in September 2025 and pressure on Qatar to expel the movement’s leadership, in addition to the growing tension between the Qatari authorities and Hamas representatives because of the war in Iran.”
In October of last year, four countries emerged as the decision-makers for the Gaza Strip: The U.S., Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar. It is astonishing! Three of those countries are supporters of Islamic terrorism, particularly Hamas.
Why in the world would the current administration jump headlong into “friendships” with those countries? This is an existential threat to the United States.
Erdogan in particular is a snake. His public denunciations of Israel and her prime minister are odious and unacceptable. Still, our President cozies up to him. Why?
I think in his particular case, flattery and ignorance are his chief weaknesses. We know Qatar has given him lavish gifts, including incredibly a new Air Force One. When Trump is flattered, his discernment suffers greatly. It’s easy to see this happening. He also is not well-versed on Islam.
And yet…he saw every horrifying frame of the Oct. 7 attacks. He knows Hamas did this. He knows Turkey is in bed with Hamas.
Why, why, why?
More commentary:
“Turkish aid organizations, headed by the Turkish IHH, which led the violent Mavi Marmara flotilla in 2010, play a central role in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, particularly in the establishment of educational and healthcare institutions. IHH also launched two international flotillas with dozens of vessels “to break the siege” of the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli Navy prevented them from reaching land.
“In the assessment of the Amit Terrorism and Intelligence Research Institute, the transfer of Hamas’ headquarters from Qatar to Turkey, even if only partially, along with their ongoing coordination regarding the negotiations over the ceasefire agreement and the end of the war in the Gaza Strip, underscore the strategic importance the movement attaches to its relations with Erdoğan’s Ankara. The election of Khalil al-Hayya as chairman of the Hamas political bureau is also expected to further strengthen the relations because of his ties with the Turkish leadership. Moreover, the de facto immunity granted by the Turkish government to members of the movement residing in the country enables Hamas to continue exploiting Turkish territory to plan attacks on Israel and possibly on Israeli targets in Europe, as long as the government in Ankara continues to display anti-Israeli and antisemitic positions without interference from the United States, particularly in view of the warm relations between Erdoğan and the American president. Moreover, the involvement of Turkish organizations in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip ensures the Ankara regime a foothold even if and when the Palestinian administrative committee assumes control of Gaza, thereby also ensuring Hamas’ continued influence over civilian activity in the Strip.”
Absolute madness has gripped the world. From an overall perspective, we are deep into the 2 Timothy 3 scenario. From a Middle East perspective, everything is lining up for Israel to be left friendless. It’s happening now. Some countries, like India, are stepping up their arming of the Jewish state. Still, we know this will trickle away. The greatest end-times events will unfold. The world will enter into a terrifying reality, one most did not see coming.
I see a marked erosion of support for Israel in America. That’s how I see it. They have no real friends in America.
Continue to pray for Israel, and Jews everywhere. Those of us that love them will see them triumph, for all time.
We have a front-row seat.
Israel has friends, but only a few.
America’s terrible friends (cough, Turkey) will bare their fangs shortly.
Maranatha!
