Warplanes roared over Israel on Friday, stranding Americans in an escalating conflict.
Caitlyn Jenner, CNN’s Scott Jennings, and others were stuck in Israel on Friday as airport closures followed Israel’s massive military strike on Iran and Iran’s retaliatory missile barrage, as the Daily Mail reports.
Jenner, in Tel Aviv for the now-canceled Pride Parade, posted on social media about the missile defense system lighting up the skies. Her “quiet” night in Tel Aviv, as she called it, was anything but, with air raid sirens blaring. Leave it to progressive pet projects like pride parades to get sidelined when real-world threats emerge.
Early Friday, Israel unleashed over 200 warplanes, targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites, killing four commanders. The strike was a masterclass in precision, showcasing Israel’s resolve against Iran’s tyrannical mullahs. Jennings, holed up in Tiberius, called it an attack on “enemies of Western Civilization.”
Jennings watched jets streak over his hotel balcony, texting about the surreal scene. “Definitely not getting out today. Lol,” he quipped to the Daily Mail, masking the gravity with humor. That’s the spirit of a conservative commentator -- calm under pressure, unlike the panic-prone left.
By Friday evening, Iran retaliated, launching dozens of ballistic missiles toward Israel. The Israeli military urged citizens to hunker down in bomb shelters as the Iron Dome intercepted missiles over Tel Aviv’s smoky skyline. This is what happens when appeasement fails, and evil regimes are left unchecked.
Jennings, monitoring emergency alerts, was moved to a safe room during a rocket attack in Jerusalem. He didn’t initially feel in danger, but the escalating Iranian response had him on edge. “The most tense time was waiting for the Iranian response,” he admitted, before noting all drones were neutralized.
Jenner, staying at the David Intercontinental Hotel, shared her defiance on social media: “I am happy to stand with Israel today, now more than ever.” Her heart may be with Israel, but her safety was in question as missiles flew. Woke celebrities take note: real courage isn’t performative -- it’s standing firm in a warzone.
Journalist Matthew Foldi, also caught in the chaos, spoke to WMAL radio about sirens jolting him awake. “My first potential nuclear war rodeo,” he joked, highlighting the absurdity of Iran’s failed missile strikes. Foldi’s quip cuts through the left’s sanctimonious hand-wringing over “escalation.”
Foldi, despite sleeping only two hours, managed to grab lunch and Wi-Fi access on Friday. “I’m having a normal day in Israel right now,” he said, though most of his meetings were canceled. That’s resilience -- something the perpetually aggrieved could learn from.
Jenner visited Jerusalem’s Western Wall on Thursday, sharing a photo before the chaos erupted. Earlier, she toured Kibbutz Be’eri and the Nova Festival site, hearing survivors’ harrowing accounts of the October 7 massacre. Her solidarity with Israel shames the anti-Semitic drivel peddled by campus radicals.
Jennings, from his Tiberius hotel, praised Israel’s security: “This place is very secure.” His front-row seat to Israel’s defense was a stark reminder of what strong leadership looks like. Contrast that with the West’s dithering on Iran’s aggression.
Jenner’s social media post, “Pray for us all. We will prevail,” captured the mood of defiance. She reassured her daughter Kylie, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep myself safe.” That’s the kind of family-first grit the left can’t comprehend amid their obsession with victimhood.
Foldi, reflecting on his crash course in surviving missile strikes, boasted, “I’ve already gotten a master’s degree in how to withstand a ballistic missile.” Iran’s “completely unsuccessful” attacks proved their bluster is no match for Israel’s might. The mullahs’ dreams of dominance are crumbling, and good riddance.
As Americans like Jenner, Jennings, and Foldi remain stranded, Israel stands tall against Iran’s threats. The contrast is clear: one nation fights for survival, while woke elites back home fret over pronouns. This conflict is a wake-up call -- freedom isn’t free, and Israel’s resolve proves it.
