Shapiro Slams Israeli Leadership in X Post, Drops New Daily Wire Episode Addressing Trump and Faith Bias

Lead: Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro ridiculed Israel’s political contest in a pointed X post today and released a 15-minute Daily Wire episode, “Trump’s Crime Crusade & Biden-era Faith Bias?,” dissecting former President Trump’s mounting legal troubles and a recent Supreme Court faith-bias ruling.

Nut Graf: The dual rollout-an acerbic social-media barb and a timely podcast segment-highlights Shapiro’s ongoing role shaping conservative discourse on both foreign affairs and domestic legal controversies. His commentary immediately trended among right-leaning audiences, emphasizing religious liberty and rule-of-law themes central to his platform.

X Post Mocks “Fidel Castro’s Son”

Ben Shapiro’s morning X post quipped that a planned military invasion would be “called off” if a particular candidate wins Israel’s premiership, adding, “We will make no such guarantees if Fidel Castro’s son remains the PM”. The barb, widely shared and debated online, targeted perceived leftist successors to Benjamin Netanyahu, who has long enjoyed Shapiro’s staunch support.

  • Episode Title: “Trump’s Crime Crusade & Biden-era Faith Bias?”
  • Length: 15 minutes
  • Topics Covered:
  • Special counsel indictments against former President Trump
  • Supreme Court decision overturning a federal contractor’s religious-liberty claim
  • Implications for conservative religious organizations under the Biden administration

In the episode, Shapiro argued that aggressive prosecution of Trump represents “political weaponization of the Justice Department,” while the court’s faith-bias ruling signals a growing threat to religious employers.

Reactions and Impact

Shapiro’s podcast release rapidly climbed Daily Wire charts, and the X post sparked heated debate among pro-Israel activists and left-wing critics. Supporters applauded his defense of Netanyahu’s policies and warning on “Marxist-style” successors, while detractors decried the Castro reference as inflammatory.

What’s Next: Shapiro plans a live Q&A on X Spaces this Thursday to further debate the implications of Trump’s indictments and the faith-bias ruling, promising “no holds barred” discussion with his audience.
