This guy's "news program," called "TruNews," regularly gets press credentials from the White House.
I'd like to know why.

By Kyle Mantyla | August 15, 2019 11:13 am
On last nights episode of his TruNews program, End Times broadcaster Rick Wiles once again claimed that Jewish kill teams are carrying out mass shootings in America in order to pressure the government to implement gun control and disarm Christians so that they can be executed.

(10,291 posts)1. "Trump" and "Accountability" in the same sentence?
Gosh.... That's a tough one.... Now yes Rick Wiles speech is repugnant but I don't expect the Trump "Administration" to do a lick about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun#Integration_with_the_IDF_and_the_Altalena_Affair
The initial agreement for the integration of the Irgun into the IDF did not include Jerusalem, where a small remnant of the Irgun called the Jerusalem Battalion, numbering around 400 fighters, and Lehi, continued to operate independently of the government. Following the assassination of UN Envoy for Peace Folke Bernadotte by Lehi in September 1948, the Israeli government determined to immediately dismantle the underground organizations. An ultimatum was issued to the Irgun to liquidate as an independent organization and integrate into the IDF or be destroyed, and Israeli troops surrounded the Irgun camp in the Katamon Quarter of Jerusalem. The Irgun accepted the ultimatum on September 22, 1948, and shortly afterward the remaining Irgun fighters in Jerusalem began enlisting in the IDF and turning over their arms. At Begin's orders, the Irgun in the diaspora formally disbanded on January 12, 1949, with the Irgun's former Paris headquarters becoming the European bureau of the Herut movement.
