Newsmax went all out for an interview host Greta Van Susteran conducted with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, devoting a whopping seven separate articles to it:
- Netanyahu to Newsmax: Iran ‘Was on the Verge’ of Building a Nuke
- Netanyahu to Newsmax: Iran ‘Totally Untrustworthy’
- Netanyahu to Newsmax: Iran Still Poses ‘Mortal Danger’
- Netanyahu to Newsmax: Hezbollah Has Been ‘Battered’
- Netanyahu to Newsmax: Trump Relationship ‘Couldn’t Be Better’
- Netanyahu to Newsmax: Hamas Trying to ‘Cheat’ Commitments
- Netanyahu to Newsmax: F-35 Sale to Turkey a ‘Mistake’
Newsmax didn’t explain why the Netanyahu interview warranted so many articles.
Interestingly, a couple days later Newsmax published a column by Jonathan Pollard raging against the Trump administration’s efforts to help Turkey:
President Donald Trump’s decision to lift U.S. defense sanctions on Turkey is not just another diplomatic misstep.
It is a direct betrayal of Israel, the Jewish people, and America’s long-standing policy to preserve Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge.
[…]Trump is rewarding Erdogan despite Turkey’s refusal to help America against Iran and despite Trump’s own admission that Turkey may have leaned toward Iran.
He is doing so while pressuring Israel to accept ceasefires, restraint and humiliation.
That is not friendship. That is betrayal.
Israel must now judge Trump by his actions, not his speeches.
And his actions in Ankara tell us everything we need to know.
Newsmax benignly describes Pollard as “an Israeli citizen, co-president of the Israeli First Movement, and adviser to several technology start-up businesses.” In fact, Pollard spied against the U.S. on Israel’s behalf and spent three decades in prison for it. Both Newsmax and WorldNetDaily agitated for Pollard’s release from prison at the time.
