Miriam Adelson's Trump Says There Will be 'Hell to Pay' in Middle East Unless Israeli Hostages Are Released
Israel has been carrying out a genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza since 7 October 2023. It is unclear how Trump will be able to punish Palestinians even more.
Donald Trump, the pro-Israel extremist in the U.S., posted on Truth Social Monday that there will be “hell to pay” in the Middle East if Hamas does not release the remaining 101 hostages believed to still be in its possession.
“Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently comma inhumanly comma and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East – But it’s all talk, and no action! Please let this TRUTH optimist serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date I proudly assume Office as President of the United States there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied history of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!” he posted.
Patrick Henningsen, the political commentator, posted in response: “WHAT A COMPLETE JOKE. What’s Trump going to do? Bomb Gaza some more? (we are living in a dark satire sketch)”
Israel has been carrying out a genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza since 7 October 2023, and has murdered over 44,000 Gazans. It is unclear how Trump will be able to punish Palestinians even more.
Trump wasted no time in rewarding billionaire heiress Miriam Adelson, who donated $100 million to his campaign, with a Middle East team that could have been handpicked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump went full Zionist after tapping Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as his secretary of state, and Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., as his ambassador to the United Nations. He also named Steven C. Witkoff, a New York-based real estate developer, as his special envoy to the Middle East—replacing President Joe Biden’s Amos Hochstein, who is Jewish and who was born in Israel.
The New York Times reported last week that Trump’s selections must have delighted his “most hawkish pro-Israel backers.”
The paper noted that Matt Brooks, the chief executive of the Republican Jewish Coalition, called Trump’s picks “a true dream team for those who care about a strong, vibrant, unshakable U.S.-Israel relationship.”
He said that under the Trump team, there will be “no daylight, and Israel will be fully supported to do what it needs to do to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah and curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions and support of terror proxies.”
AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL: Mike Huckabee, a former Baptist pastor and the one-time governor of Arkansas, has said there is no such thing as the West Bank, has told reporters that he has visited Israel “dozens and dozens of times,” according to Haaretz. He said there is a connection there that is “not so much political as it is visceral, personal.”

Huckabee said in February that Israel may be occupying the territory, but “it is an occupation of land that God gave them 3,500 years ago.”
Huckabee told a podcast, “In Genesis, when we’re told that God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. I’m simple-minded enough to say, ‘There it is. What am I gonna do? I’m gonna believe that.’”
AMBASSADOR TO THE UN: Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., shot to fame after she was embraced by pro-genocide Zionists after questioning the three Ivy League presidents and conflating the word “intifada,” which was chanted during some of the campus protests. “Intifada” means “uprising” in Arabic.
Stefanik was presented with the “Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson Defender of Israel Award” in March.
Miriam Adelson bankrolled Trump’s campaign with $100 million. Adelson’s late husband gave Trump’s campaign $90 million in 2020 in exchange for a promise to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Stefanik, riding momentum from her new-found fame, backed a bullshit House resolution bashing the testimony of three Ivy League presidents who refused to follow Israel-lobby pressure and condemn campus protesters who dared call for a ceasefire in Gaza while Israel carried out its genocide. (The U.S. Knesset voted 303-126 in favor of the resolution.)
Trump called Stefanik a “strong, tough and smart America First fighter.”
SECRETARY OF STATE: Sen. Marco Rubio, F-Fla., was once identified by then-candidate Trump as a “perfect little puppet” for now-deceased, pro-Israel billionaire Sheldon Adelson.
Rubio took offense when Biden warned Israel that he could limit some weapons shipments over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Florida Republican told Fox News Radio: “We know Adolf Hitler’s in a bunker. We know that he has a gun in his mouth. We know that, but don’t go in after Hitler, don’t go destroy Berlin, don’t go in. That’s what they’re basically asking Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israelis to do.”
Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector, criticized the selection of Rubio because he believes the Florida Republican has a different worldview than Trump and will end up betraying the president-elect.
“Rubio makes no sense whatsoever,” Ritter told the “Dialogue Works” podcast, noting that an invitation from Trump was not confirmed. Ritter called Rubio a “pet project” of the billionaire Adelson family.
He said the Adelsons have been trying to make Rubio president, so there’s a chance that Trump agreed to give him the high-profile position to appease the billionaire family.
“But it makes no sense,” Ritter said. “The two don’t see eye-to-eye, Rubio doesn’t conform to anything that Donald Trump is saying he wants to do with Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East. Rubio is somebody who believes that he is more qualified to be president than Donald Trump. He said that. People who have behaved in this way in the past have betrayed Donald Trump. Marco Rubio will betray Donald Trump 100 percent. He’s not a Trump man, he’s not going to support Trump policy.”
MIDDLE EAST ENVOY: Steven Witkoff, real estate tycoon, sprung into action after U.S. President Joe Biden once floated the idea of withholding weapons from Israel and was a major fundraiser for Trump by eliciting donations from Jewish Americans upset with Biden’s threat.
Witkoff is a longtime Trump golfing partner who has praised Trump’s approach to Israel. He has no diplomatic experience.
“With President Trump, the Middle East experienced historic levels of peace and stability. Strength prevents wars. Iran’s money was cut off which prevented their funding of global terror,” he said.
Witkoff attended Netanyahu’s address to Congress in July and said it was “a privilege to be there.”
“We were standing every five seconds because that crowd was so for him and for the messaging,” he told Fox Business.
DEFENSE SECRETARY: Pete Hegseth, the Fox News host and former member of the Army National Guard, is another Christian nationalist who is a pro-Israel hawk.
The evangelical Christian hosted a special on Fox News titled, “Battle in the Holy Land: Israel at War,” and posted on social media that he interviewed Netanyahu for the video…He wrote, “Israel needs our support!”
In 2020, shortly after Iran fired ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq, Hegseth called on Trump, who was president at the time, to bomb economic and cultural sites in Iran if they were housing weapons, The Week reported.
Al Jazeera noted that Hegseth said in an interview with the Jewish Press that Israel and Palestine should be considered through a biblical lens.
“This is not some mystical land that can be dismissed. It’s the story of God’s chosen people. That story didn’t end in 1776 or in 1948 or with the founding of the UN. All of these things still resonate and matter today,” he said.
Hegseth said he never met a Jewish person until college.
“When I did, the first thing I said to him was, ‘I read about you in the Bible!’” he said in the interview.
Unnamed officials from the Defense Department criticized his lack of managerial experience.
“It’s a deadly serious job and this strikes me as a mainly performative person who is best known for talking about wokeness and not doing anything meaningful on national security post serving in the military,” one official told Politico.
The official continued, “It is a massive bureaucracy, you have to understand how that works to support national security around the globe. It is tedious and challenging and it is not at all related to getting on Fox News and pontificating.”
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal accurately said in the lead-up to the election that regardless of who wins the election, Israel will benefit from the full support from the U.S. government because Congress and the White House are owned by the donor class, and wealthy Jewish Americans opened their checkbooks for Trump.
If Kamala Harris won, there would not be that much difference in who she picked for her team. Indeed, as we have detailed, Harris supports Israeli genocide and that is one of the reasons some ten million less Democrats turned out to vote in this year’s race to the White House than they did for Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
As Scott Ritter quipped, is he talking about the thousands of Palestinian hostages Israel has, some of whom have been jailed for a decade?
Trump & Harris. Two cheeks of the same ZioNazi ass. The sock puppets change, but the hand remains the same. Miriam "Ipecac Face" Adelson should be tried for treason.
