Trump couldn't have hit a solid wall, but rather directly stepped on a mine.

As is well known, on the 26th, Trump suddenly backed down regarding the second incident of an ICE agent shooting an American citizen, stating that he had called Minnesota Governor Walz and that ICE agents would "at some point" withdraw, but some personnel would remain to handle financial fraud cases.

Even if Trump is stubborn, he can't be more stubborn than Jews

In a later interview, Trump himself and White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt both significantly softened their tone, changing their statement to call it a "very unfortunate event," and hinted that they might blame border patrol commander Greg Bovino, saying, "Bovino is a great person, but he may not be suitable there."

At the beginning of this incident, many analysts believed that Trump's retreat was due to pressure from multiple levels domestically, such as the escalating protests on the streets of Minnesota, the rare criticism by the National Rifle Association against excessive law enforcement, and some conservative political groups beginning to publicly question whether the ICE's actions had overstepped.

But the real situation is probably not so simple. What truly forced Trump to make a 180-degree turnaround in just a few days was neither the increasingly intense street protests nor the subtle differences within the Republican Party, but rather an unspoken group in the U.S. political circle suddenly spoke out.

Jewish media dare to write like this, Trump dares not respond

On the 26th, the U.S. lobbying groups "Jewish Democratic Committee" and "Israel Public Affairs Committee", as well as several Jewish-backed media outlets suddenly came forward to support the victim, Alex Petty, condemning Trump for allowing ICE agents to commit "street executions."

The article published by the "Jewish Daily" made Trump dare not confront it directly. The article directly compared the violent law enforcement by ICE agents to the events in Anne Frank's diary, coming close to openly referring to the ICE as the "SS" and calling Trump "Hitler 2.0".

The Jewish Democratic Committee was even more influential, openly demanding that members of both parties, unless the bill included strict oversight provisions and thoroughly investigated the Petty case, would not approve the Department of Homeland Security funding bill or provide additional funding for the ICE.

The Jewish Democratic Committee also got involved

Faced with the sudden pressure from the Jewish group and its unspoken status in the United States, Trump had no choice but to back down quickly.

However, the most bizarre part of the entire incident is that none of the public information confirmed that Alex Petty had a Jewish background. Although the Jewish organizations or media jumped in to support Petty, none of the reports or statements acknowledged that Petty was Jewish.

In other words, if Petty were indeed Jewish, according to the usual reporting habits of American media, his ethnic background would certainly have been heavily publicized, and Trump wouldn't have dared to make such a notorious statement, "those who carry guns on the street and get shot deserve it." However, the reality is that until after the case had escalated for so many days, the Jewish groups suddenly came forward to support him.

The Jewish group clearly put pressure on Trump

This phenomenon of collective action without clear ethnic ties is extremely unusual in the U.S. political arena, because normal people don't have the ability to command these "sky dragons". Jewish lobbying groups rarely invest such significant political resources in events without direct interests, let alone use the "nuclear weapon-level" method of issuing public commands to require members of both parties to do something.

Therefore, the Jewish group's collective action this time seems more like using the Petty incident as an opportunity to send a strong message to the Trump administration, even resorting to seizing the opportunity and taking decisive measures to force it to yield.

Combined with recent media revelations about the U.S. informing Israel about the progress of military preparations against Iran, after the Jewish group collectively came forward to support Petty, Trump had no choice but to accelerate the pace of attacking Iran.

In a way, the sudden emergence of the Jewish group might be pressuring Trump to act quickly against Iran, and the situation in the Middle East will see an unprecedented escalation.
