Trumps policy is OK.As Chaim said in 2000: "The only thing that a US president has to do to be a success is not to get involved with Israel at all: not to help her nor to hinder her!".Reagan didn't get involved with Israel, for or against, during his 8 years, and he is viewed as having been a successful president.Although Cruz may be more righteous than Trump, his overt fawning over Israel, even if sincere, we don't need or want.
Trump didn't say he wouldn't get involved you lying fraud! He said just the opposite.
Marco Rubio wrote about this on his Twitter page.Here's the linkhttps://twitter.com/TeamMarco/status/703059795088175104
Too bad Ted appears dead. He'd make a great president. Rubio was good in the debate last night; but he's terrible on amnesty. The big question is:if elected, will Trump OBSESSIVELY pressure Israel to cede land to the PLO. If not, he might be ok. But the alternative is Chillary; we know she and her muzz bro'hood flunkies will try to crush little israel.
“If you’re a deal person, the ultimate deal is that deal,” Trump said on “Meet the Press” on NBC.“The hardest thing to do is that,” Trump said, referring to the ongoing, decades-long turmoil between Israelis and [Arab Muslim terrorists].The Republican front-runner last week declared that he would be “neutral” in handling the matter. That answer defies Republican orthodoxy, which calls for backing Israel first....“You’re not going to solve [the conflict] if you’re going to be one side or the other,” Trump said. “Everyone understands that.”“If I’m going to solve the problem, I want to go in with a clean slate.”
If there is a conflict between the genuine interests of the USA and the genuine interests of the state of Israel I would want a US president that would put the interests of the USA first. I wouldn't want a blatantly anti-Israel president though that set out to be their enemy for no reason other than they exist.
Rubystars, when trump says he can't take israel's side, he means in the conflict between israel and Arab terrorists. He can't see a difference between Israel and Arabs morally and won't act like there is. He is not talking about a question of taking sides in a question of American interests vs Israeli interests! No one asked him that. To imply that he was is a blatant obfuscation.
Don't forget the USA has relations going on with Saudi Arabia and some of the other Muslim countries. It would be great if we could be 100% free of foreign energy but we're not there yet. Israel itself seems hellbent on committing suicide. Israel's (elected) leadership has expressed that the 2 state solution is what they want. A lot of politicians believe that helping Israel achieve that goal is being "pro-Israel". While we know as individuals that the 2 state solution is not in Israel's best interests... and is even suicidal, can our leadership really tell their leadership "You don't know what's best for your own country, the USA knows better?" How is that going to go over?
"You don't know what's best for your own country, the USA knows better?"
This is all excuse-making. You have decided Trump is right, and the facts don't matter. There is more to being on Israel's side than just a 2 state solution. How about the UN vetoes which the obama administration has decided no longer demands US support unless he can extort a concession out of Israel to strengthen his terrorist friends? Will Trump also feel his Saudi friends need leverage and condition his UN actions on Israeli submission? Why should someone say they "can't take sides" unless they feel both sides have equal moral claims. That is just wrong and evil.
No matter how insane Netanyahu is and the Israeli establishment is, Obama has taken the Arabs' side and made it even worse for Israel. [/quote[Obama was everything Chaim warned he would be. QuoteYou want to be a Trump bot to rival these Obama bots?No I actually hope he doesn't win. Sorry you took all that from my posts.
