With Friends Like These: America and Its Fake Allies by Nils A. Haug  •  April 4, 2026 at 5:00 am While basking in the protection offered by America's military capability so they can fund their bulging, barely-functioning welfare programs, and taking advantage of America's powerful economy with preferential tariffs in their favor, when asked for support, these putative allies run for cover. While Iran's terror is aimed at large swaths of the West, it is Israel, as the homeland of the Jewish people, that is Iran's first target for elimination. It seems that, in the eyes of Europe's elite and the European Union, the Holocaust... has become passé, if not a liability. In 2001, long before the Gaza War, France's ambassador to the UK, Daniel Bernard, already called Israel a "shitty little country" -- and "polite society defended him." [For] nearly five decades, relatively little, if any, condemnation was heard coming from the UK, France and Spain about Iran's despotic and murderous activities across a wide array of geographical arenas. Then, when the US made a small request -- the use of a base to remedy this global horror -- the UK turned it down. There is, in fact, no more loyal friend to Western interests than Israel – a tiny nation fighting to preserve civilization for all of Europe and the free world while in the crosshairs of Iran's terror activities. Yet, when Israel comes under missile barrages from Iran and its proxies, Macron never offers to send assistance of any kind, even if only defensive, nor did the UK, Spain, Germany, or any other European nation -- nor Canada. No one did, except the United States. [T]he UK, France, and Germany -- reveal their antipathy towards anything that might applaud or validate Israel's existence, perhaps out of envy over Israel's incredible economic and military success. Western Europe and Canada's elitist leaders appear unable in any way to acknowledge that "those Jews" -- supposedly those upstart "oppressor-colonialist racists" who have lived on their land for "only" 4,000 years when in fact it was the Europeans themselves who colonized large parts of the planet -- might be showing them up. Netanyahu, called by Andrew Roberts "The Churchill of the Middle East," has endured unimaginable opposition from all quarters in a seven-front war. His villainization began long before the war. Trump and Netanyahu are evidently obstacles to a "brave new world" wherein the brotherhood of man, humanitarianism, climate change, globalism, diversity, equity, central planning, and all sorts of other fanciful Marxian ideologies reign supreme. It is political correctness run rampant. The problem is not just what has overtaken Europe, but the entrenched fecklessness of its leaders.
