A senior adviser to Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz, currently accompanying Gantz on a visit to Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, has likened Trump in the past to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and insinuated that he colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has also suggested that Trump play Russian roulette with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
In August 2017, Tzur tweeted: “Barack Hussain Obama left, Donald Adolf Trump arrived. Dying to see who comes next.”
Similarly, in March 2016, Tzur tweeted: “Donald’s next book: Mein Trump,” playing on the spelling of Trump’s name (in Hebrew, “p” and “f” are represented by the same letter).
In September 2017, during attempted negotiations between Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, Tzur tweeted, “It seems right to me to suggest a compromise between Trump and Kim Jong: Russian roulette with two bullets. What will be will be.”
In December 2016, Tzur tweeted, “It looks like U.S. President Putin has appointed Trump Secretary of State.
In May 2017, Tzur tweeted, “What is surprising about Trump is that only one item has gone to the Russians until now.”
Tzur posted several other derogatory comments on Twitter in 2016 and 2017.
When it became clear that the offensive tweets were being publicized just as Gantz is set to meet Trump in Washington, Tzur tweeted on Monday:
“Seeing that there is excitement among some members of the cult about some tweets from years ago, let me clarify: There were some issues on which the younger me thought differently from the president (not that it matters to anyone). Meanwhile, it turns out he is the most courageous U.S. president, and the most significant for the security of Israel in generations, and together with millions of Israelis: I salute him.”
The Likud Party responded in a statement:
“Political ignorance and irresponsibility on the part of Benny Gantz to bring with him the White House his personal adviser Ronen Tzur, who called the U.S. President ‘Donald Adolph Trump’ and posted a long series of tweets against him on social media. Let’s hope Gantz’s irresponsibility does not hurt Israel’s national interests vis-à-vis the U.S. government.”

Are you sure it was Gantz’s adviser talking this way not Abbas’?
Gantz should dump him. He’s a liability! But…. is Gantz any better? What a dope! Jews finally have a friend in the White House, why destroy it?
Yup idiots. A bunch of opportunists. Don’t see the big picture. They indict the best pm they ever had over a couple of cigars and make fun of the best us president for Israel ever. All for what? So he can be pm. Crazy. Self destructive
Beep. No tact.
Rock on Chilonei. We hate frank bear your day.
““Seeing that there is excitement among some members of the cult about some tweets from years ago, let me clarify…”
Rather than issuing a heartfelt apology, he shows that he’s still a sneering, condescending, smart-alecky idiot. This fool should be dumped ASAP.
And by their advisors shall ye know them.
