I had to look up what "stollen" was and it turns out it is a[is a fruit bread of nuts, spices, and dried or candied fruit, coated with powdered sugar or icing sugar and often containing marzipan. It is a traditional German Christmas bread.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stollen)

Calling a sitting defense minister a “jerk” is a little over the top?

Ok he was only an Israeli navy SEAL, but he worked as a lumberjack in Alaska, that should give him some macho creds? (Chime in now with “hes a lumberjack and he’s ok” )

On the same day that Biden gave the strongest pro-Israel speech of any US President ever.

I guess this forum thread is as good a place as any to post this.
Why would he even say this now??
Maybe because with what is happening in Isreal, he doesn't see his name in the paper enough(Repeating myself, but it boggles me that President Trump has as much support as he does)
Former President Donald Trump has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of betraying him just before the U.S. killed a top Iranian general in 2020 and is questioning the country’s intelligence prowess as it responds to Hamas’ deadly attack.
“Israel was going to do this with us, and it was being planned and working on it for months,” he said about the coordination to kill Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Force. “We had everything all set to go, and the night before it happened, I got a call that Israel will not be participating in this attack.”
“Nobody’s heard this story before,” Trump said. “They didn’t tell us why.”
“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” he said.
“We were disappointed by that. Very disappointed,” he said. “But we did the job ourselves, with absolute precision … and then Bibi tried to take credit for it.”
...the government’s communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, told Israel’s Channel 13 that it was “shameful that a man like that, a former U.S. president, abets propaganda and disseminates things that wound the spirit of Israel’s fighters and its citizens.”
“We don’t have to bother with him and the nonsense he spouts,” Karhi said. Asked if Trump’s comments make it clear that he can’t be relied on, Karhi replied, “Obviously.”

The head of Central Command during that time, Gen. McKenzie, responds during an interview:
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about something that former President Trump said on Wednesday. He said, in regard to the drone strike that took out Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in January 2020. He said Israel pulled out of the operation and quote, "Bibi Netanyahu let us down, that was a very terrible thing." Did Israel pull out and let America down?
GEN. MCKENZIE: Margaret, I- unable to know of any communication, of course, between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. But I can tell you that this was a US operation.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So, that would mean that's not accurate.
GEN. MCKENZIE: That would mean that this was a US operation. It involved only US forces in the operational design and the execution of the mission.
