Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner recently visited Israel and this has sparked a tempest of social media fury, with more than a few people calling the couple “parasites” (because, I don’t know, they are?) and “frauds” (because they are that too?). Donald Trump’s eldest daughter and her husband made their way to Kibbutz Kfar Aza in southern Israel on December 21. While there, they met with officials and relatives of those taken hostage by Hamas, according to Newsweek.

Tensions between Israel have been high ever since Israel was established as a state on May 14th, 1948, and it was recognized as a nation on the very same day. While Israel has been committing genocide against the Palestinian people for decades, the media has largely focused on Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a shock attack on October 7 in Israel, killing 1,200 people at a music festival and in Jewish communities lining the Gaza border — including Kfar Aza. Additionally, 240 people were taken hostage.

But let’s add a little perspective to this heavily biased media coverage. Al-Jazeera notes:

“To many Palestinians, the moment echoes the experiences of their ancestors in 1948, when militias and then the army of the newly formed Israel destroyed more than 500 Palestinian villages and towns. Thousands were killed, and more than 750,000 Palestinians were uprooted from their land and forced to flee. Palestinians refer to that period as the Nakba, or catastrophe.”

“Then too, no one was spared — not women nor children; not the elderly, nor those fleeing Israeli attacks. Those displaced in 1948 have never managed to return. To those who are fleeing under Israeli orders, the possibility of a repeat seems real — if there is anyone left to return in the first place.”

How tragic this is. And the U.S. bears much of the responsibility for the horrors going on right now. As Vox noted in October, the U.S. has been Israel’s closest ally. But should you doubt me, the Vox story delineates the situation quite well. And since the beginning of the conflict, Israel has fired its heaviest-ever airstrikes on Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he intends to “demolish Hamas.” Palestinians not directly killed by the airstrikes have been left without food, medicine, fuel, and energy because these vital supplies have been suspended.

The Associated Press reports that as of December 22, more than 20,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and roughly 85 percent of the region’s 2.3 million people have become homeless.

So the fact that America’s Least Favorite Perky Pet and her Perky Pet Skinny Edition husband paid this visit is offensive, no matter what excuses they offer.

“It’s important to see with one’s own eyes the lingering effects of the barbaric and unspeakable acts of October 7.

“We met with families of those that were kidnapped, including some still in Gaza. We met with several political leaders who are committed to building lasting solutions to intractable problems.

He added: “We will pray that the coalition for peace, prosperity, respect and understanding will prevail and create a bright and exciting future for humanity.”

Ivanka and I traveled to Israel to bear witness.

Of course, Kushner can afford to play both sides of the fence here, since he’s been handed at least $2 billion by his buddies, the Saudis, so traveling to Israel was little more than a p*ss in the wind for the Kushners.

Kushner’s post on X has received more than 520,000 views and many social media users are also p*ssed.

One user hit it right on the head:

“Why did the Saudis give you $2 billion? No shame. Zero self-awareness.”

Why did the Saudis give you $2 billion?
No shame. Zero self-awareness.

-Looks like two grifters trying to rehabilitate their image.
-This is the picture they want to use for their holiday cards
-They’re checking in with their constituents
Or, all of the above?

“Maybe you can give them some of that 2 billion you got from the Saudis,” another X user quipped.

Others were even less flattering.

“They’re looking for a way to profit off the carnage, as the parasites they are,” wrote Yayger.

“Full makeup and brand new white tennis shoes! What a fraud [Ivanka] is,” said @ndeleo53.

And of course, pro-Palestinian social media users didn’t care for this either.

“Will you ever go to gaza? Will you talk about suffering of Palestinians for 75 years,” asked Laiba Wahid.

“It’s even more important to see both sides of the conflict, otherwise its just a media tour,” wrote SK. “But im guessing you dont need to see what happened in gaza.”

“They are so disgusting,” said Barbara Patterson. “Seriously, across the border in Gaza people are dying and there is a humanitarian emergency crisis but the $2B Saudis are there for a photo shoot.”

This is how Jarvanka has always been. They are the glitz without any of the glamour. They have been catered to and mollycoddled all of their lives, so why would anyone even expect them to be capable of kindness or caring? Sure, they may appear kind on the surface but it’s all for the sleazy show they have been putting on ever since Ivanka’s dad became president.
