Title: Pro-Settlements and not Pro-"Israel" Should be the test
Post by: edu on August 19, 2015, 01:45:14 AM

Many presidential candidates say they are Pro-Israel. Even B.Hussein Obama said and continues to say he is "Pro-Israel" although he supports policies that harm Israel.
If we really want to sift out candidates to see if they are really friendly to Zionism, we have to see how forcefully they stand for Jewish Settlements and Settlers in Judea and Samaria.
So far the actions of Huckabee have shown that compared to others he is more pro-Zionist.
Those who have influence with Cruz or the other candidates should request from them to also show more clearly how they stand on Jewish settlements. I am not calling for them to visit Israel because only righteous non-Jews, "Ger Toshav" and (of course) Jews should visit Israel., but rather I would like the candidate to propose some new laws or actions that show the candidate is clearly on the Zionist side and not just into making politically correct statements that will be ignored upon gaining real power.

After Mike Huckabee,   Rick Santorum probably has the best track record of the candidates on being Pro-Settements.

I've had someone i though was on my team in a debate defend settlements then turn around and say "there really are crazies, and those are the ones that go to the temple mount".
