Benjamin Emanuel was party to Irgun and Revisionist Zionism.
On June 14, President Trump will host his extravagant $60 million Freedom 250 event. Ari Emanuel, the CEO of TKO Group Holdings Inc., owns the UFC. He is the brother of Rahm and Ezekiel Emanuel. Rahm was the White House chief of staff during the Clinton administration, and Ezekiel is an oncologist and bioethicist.
Ian Carroll, an independent researcher and host of The Ian Carroll Show, posted a video on June 13 exploring Ari Emanuel’s background. “UFC is owned by Ari Emanuel, son of Benjamin Emanuel—an actual Israeli terrorist,” Carroll said. “His IMG agency supplied models to Epstein’s Jean-Luc Brunel. Trump’s WH 250th anniversary event is sponsored by literal Israeli terrorists and Epstein associates.”
Benjamin Emanuel was born in Jerusalem. He was a member of Irgun Zvai Leumi, a Zionist paramilitary terrorist group, formed in 1931 during the British Mandate for Palestine. In the late 1930s, prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, Irgun carried out at least 60 terrorist attacks, including the King David Hotel bombing that killed nearly one hundred Arabs, Britons, and Jews. Irgun specialized in murdering Arab civilians, British soldiers, and officials. The terror group bombed trains, buses, cafes, marketplaces, cinemas, police stations, and hospitals. In October 1945, Irgun and other Jewish terror groups simultaneously targeted colonial railways, oil refineries, and police boats in Palestine.
“Jewish terrorism against the British and Arabs did contribute heavily to the removal of the British from Palestine, the abandonment of the League of Nations mandate and the creation of a Jewish state of Israel,” writes John Lois Peeke, an American military expert.
Irgun was associated with Revisionist Zionism, founded by Russian-born Jewish leader Ze’ev Jabotinsky in the 1920s. Likud, the current ruling party in Israel, is the offspring of Revisionist Zionism. Jabotinsky’s ideology “embodied the dark side of the Zionist dream, and the violent and militaristic elements they represented have long been ignored and overlooked by both the Zionists (and Israeli) academic and political leadership,” notes Eran Kaplan.
Before the Nakba and the establishment of the state of Israel, Zionism and fascism shared intellectual roots and numerous intersections in philosophical and political structures. “Some of the founding fathers of Zionism, especially revisionist Zionists, regarded themselves as ideological fascists, and their progression from Fascism to Zionism was a logical one, necessitated by political expediency only,” writes Dr. Ramzy Baroud, an American-Palestinian journalist and author. The founder of modern fascism, Benito Mussolini, had spoken in support of Zionism and of Jabotinsky in particular, according to Baroud. Mussolini allied with Jabotinsky’s Betar youth movement, which modeled itself around fascist ideas and symbols.
“For Zionism to succeed, you need to have a Jewish State with a Jewish flag, and Jewish language. The person who understands that is your fascist, Jabotinsky,” Mussolini said during a private conversation with Nahum Goldman, founder of the World Jewish Congress, in November 1934, as reported by Lenni Brenner in his volume “Zionism in the Age of Dictators.”
Jabotinsky authored The Iron Wall, a thesis that argues Zionist military force would put an end to any Palestinian hope for a nation-state. The work serves as the basis for the “Nazi-like policies” of the IDF and Benjamin Netanyahu, writes Steven Meyer. Jabotinsky’s thesis “was embraced by the political networks that killed the Oslo peace process and authored the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin” (see Brenner’s The Iron Wall, Zionist Revisionism from Jabotinsky to Shamir).
Menachem Begin, founder of Likud (and Herut), and Prime Minister of Israel (1977-1983), was the leader of the terrorist group Irgun. He was an Ashkenazi Jew born in Brest-Litovsk, the Russian Empire (now Brest, Belarus). Begin was responsible for the aforementioned bombing of the King David Hotel and participated in the Deir Yasin massacre of 1948. Begin was an ardent proponent of “Greater Israel” (Eretz Yisrael HaShlema), intrinsic to Jabotinsky’s Revisionist Zionist ideology.
Likud is intimately associated with Revisionist Zionism and considered its ideological heir. Since its inception in 1973, Likud has formed coalitions with parties associated with ultra-religious and nationalist ideology. In 1977, it broke the Labor Party’s 30-year monopoly on power and has since formed coalitions with Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Otzmah Yehudit (Jewish Power), Shas (an ultra-Orthodox right-wing party), and United Torah Judaism (also an ultra-Orthodox party). It has maintained a maximalist stand on “Greater Israel” and does not accept Palestinian statehood.
President Trump has surrounded himself with Jewish and Christian Zionists, most notably his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Tax forms reveal that Kushner donated tens of thousands of dollars to organizations and institutions located in the West Bank settlements, and also the American Friends of Beit El Yeshiva (the president of this organization is David Friedman, who was Trump’s senior adviser on Israel affairs). Steve Witkoff, a real estate businessman and Trump’s golf partner, serves as the president’s West Asia envoy. He replaced Jason Greenblat, Trump’s envoy during his first term. Both Witkoff and Kushner have rejected the claim that Netanyahu and the IDF are guilty of genocide in Gaza (and now Lebanon). Miriam Adelson, the Israeli widow of the late casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson (who suggested nuking Iran), is central to the Trump administration, having donated around $250 million to his election campaign. She is central to Trump’s Israel strategy. Adelson has backed the unconstitutional move to have Trump serve a third term.
Considering Trump’s inner circle and his relationships, both political and business, with Zionists, it is not unusual that the CEO of his birthday UFC bash on the South Lawn of the White House would be a Jewish man with a father who was a Irgun terrorist. It is said Trump is angry with and has put distance between himself and Bibi Netanyahu, an Israeli leader who stands accused of genocide and war crimes. However, Trump’s West Asian policies remain anchored to the methodologies of “Greater Israel” and Revisionist Zionism.
