Can’t believe I have to debunk this BS on Yom Kippur, but with a lot of Israelis offline today, somebody has to.
This Politico Playbook story about David Milstein is such a spectacular non-story that I genuinely have no other explanation for how it became the lead item of one of Washington’s supposedly premier political newsletters besides total and complete Israel Derangement Syndrome.
Of all the actual corruption, grift and shady behavior among America’s political class, THIS is what @adamwren and his colleagues decided was worthy of a “counterintelligence” scandal?
An American official getting married in Israel and following completely ordinary Israeli wedding customs is not some nefarious influence-peddling scheme.
Here’s something Wren, @joekent16jan19, and the thousands of basement-dwellers hyperventilating about this on X might have learned by speaking to literally one Israeli:
This is what people do when they get married in Israel.
People give MONEY at weddings. Not blenders. Not china sets. Money. Registries aren’t really a thing here.
For decades, wedding halls have had giant safes where guests drop envelopes containing checks and cash. The practice is so ubiquitous that Israeli police licensing guidance literally has a section governing the “guest-envelope safe.”
In 2004, Ynet reported on a survey that found that 85% of Israelis gave cash or checks as event gifts.
And now that money-transfer apps like Bit and PayBox are ubiquitous in Israel, much like Zelle is in the U.S., people send wedding gifts through those instead of carrying around a check or wad of cash.
Israeli wedding companies openly advertise services that send guests payment links for Bit and PayBox. Welcome RSVP will literally send guests a WhatsApp message on the wedding day with a link to give their gift. AttendIt gives guests personal payment links after they RSVP.
A Bit link for wedding gifts is about as suspicious in Israel as hummus on a Friday morning.
Maybe learn something about the country you’re writing about before turning an utterly mundane Israeli wedding custom into a national-security scandal.
Mark Levin’s stepson, David Milstein, who serves as an advisor to the U.S. ambassador to Israel, is soliciting cash gifts from Israeli citizens. On its face, this is just blatantly corrupt considering his official position, and invites a litany of counterintelligence threats.
It also gives us a glimpse into how the pro-Israel echo chamber operates—
Levin’s stepson and his boss, US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, are given Israeli talking points by Israeli officials. For example: “Iran is about to develop a nuclear weapon & we must attack now! Should only take 3-4 weeks for the regime to collapse…”
Huckabee & Milstein then deliver these Israeli talking points via official US gov channels.
Milstein also sends the talking points to his stepdad, Israel-first Fox News host Mark Levin, currently a favorite of President Trump’s.
President Trump is briefed on the Israeli taking points from the State Department via the official channels, then tunes into Levin on Fox and hears the same talking points(!).
Now, Milstein is offering people a chance to buy his attention with a nice cash “gift,” and then maybe he’ll help them get their talking points to his stepdad & in front of President Trump.
Until we make accepting money from any entity or person loyal to any nation other than the United States legitimately and unbearably toxic for our leaders, this problem will persist and our policies will continue to be influenced by the interests of those who continue to put America last. This cannot stand.

CUPE Ontario allegedly sponsored a Toronto fair in which merchandise was sold proclaiming Canada “fake” and supported acts of terrorism and the killing of American soldiers.
Other tabling Canadian unions reportedly included CUPE Toronto and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
"Canada is fake" posters and embroidered American solider coffins:
The People's Fair in Toronto featured a booth by banned group Samidoun's subsidiary Al-Ahrar.
The booth not only featured terrorist art of Hamas sniper rifles and plane hijacker Leila Khaled, but a station to send letters of support to alleged domestic terrorists such as Elias Rodriguez.

"Hamas confirmed on Tuesday that it used child soldiers in the October 7 War, becoming the third faction to do so after the DFLP and PIJ.
This followed the identification of another child soldier, who was made a celebrity among Arab media journalists."
