How is this not a threat to murder the President of the United States?
What else could it even mean?
RT:
An Israeli official has confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented US President Donald Trump with a gold-plated pager during their meeting at the White House on Tuesday. Dmitry Gendelman, an adviser to Netanyahu’s office, clarified that the device was a reference to Israel’s covert operation against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon last autumn.Sharing a picture of the gift in a Telegram post on Thursday, Gendelman said Netanyahu had given Trump a “gilded pager,” explaining that the device “symbolizes the prime minister’s decision that led to a turning point in the war, and became the starting point for undermining morale within Hezbollah terrorist organization.”
Israeli media first published reports about the unusual gift earlier this week, claiming that Trump had described the September wave of explosions in Lebanon as a “tremendous operation.” The US president also reportedly gave Netanyahu a signed photograph of their meeting, inscribed with the message: “To Bibi, a great leader.”
If Trump had been a part of the operation, or even been President when it happened, this could just be looked at as a cutesy thing. It seems it would still look like a threat, but at least you could play it off as something else.
But Trump had zero involvement in anything when Israel did the terrorist attack on Hezbollah with the pagers, which makes it clear that the only thing this could possibly mean is that Bibi is telling Trump “we have ways to kill anyone, including you.”
He might as well have given him a photo of JFK with his brains blown out.
This is intolerable. Even if Trump tolerates it, no one else should.
