Israel: Trump Is A Global Security Threat
By Herb Brandon
Israel News Agency
Jerusalem, Israel — April 29, 2016 … Security analysts in Israel have long believed that Donald Trump’s candidacy was not real.
It was started and restarted in recent years. Perhaps an excellent marketing campaign to brand his real estate properties. But as Trump now allocates more of his own money (actually not his, but being loaned to Trump with online donations) his demeanor as an aggressive, serious candidate is now transparent.
His lack of seriousness in addressing both domestic and foreign issues is anything but serious.
“Most alarming is Trump’s new campaign slogan – “America First”, says an Israel security and defense analyst who has worked with the Israel Ministry of Defense.
“The slogan ‘America First’ was first created and used to support Nazi Germany and to keep the US out of War World 2.
‘America First’ is not about placing America First but rather the continuing and destructive Obama, Clinton concept of isolation – not actively engaging America’s enemies. This has a direct and negative effect on Israel with Trump having said that he is neutral on Palestinian terrorism, that Israel was not committed to peace and that only after heavy criticism and desperation to secure votes, Trump agreed to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.”
“Trump stated that he will negotiate a deal with the Palestinians. Sounds great if you are talking at a 5th grade school level. Reality asks who will Trump negotiate with? Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Fatah or ISIS? None of these terror groups agree on anything except for the destruction of the Jewish state,” says the veteran security professional.
“Who will Trump negotiate with as his proposed ban on Muslims to the US now has him banned from every Arab and Muslim nation? How can we form an international Islamic and Arab alliance against ISIS as Trump bashes Muslims?”
As a result of Trump’s proposed ban, Prime Minister Netanyahu suggested to Trump to cancel his visit to Israel last December. No one wanted to see mass demonstrations at Ben-Gurion Airport or at the Prime Minister’s Office.
Every political party in Israel agreed that it would be destructive to have Trump in Israel. No one wanted to be photographed shaking the hand of a racist. Trump stated that the ban would be temporary until “we find out what’s going on.”
What Trump does not understand or does not want to understand in order to secure votes from scare tactics is that the CIA, NSA, military intelligence and the FBI know exactly what is going on. They have done an excellent job in securing the US.
No one, including the Israelis, can ever prevent terrorism by 100 percent, but we are doing an effective job.
But it’s not just Israel which Trump threatens.
Trump wants to dismantle NATO and is asking European states to pay their share for membership. What Trump does not realize is that security comes first and payment comes second. Many European nations such as the Ukraine need American support today without financial conditions that they cannot meet. Trump attacks China with regard to foreign trade as he outsources the manufacture of his line of ties and shirts to China.
If China was to forgo and or limit trade with the US it would have a devastating effect on China and the US economy. Trump doesn’t mention this. This is not placing America First.”
Foreign policy experts might also find severe fault in some of the internal contradictions in Trump’s speech: he’s against stabilizing countries but in favor of world stability, he wants to save money but to spend without limit on the military, he wants to return the US to its supposed previous status as a strong and reliable ally but claims that the most important thing is that America remain “unpredictable.”
Trump forgets that if Washington turns unpredictable, others will follow in its wake and the most likely outcome will be chaos. Nuclear chaos.
While most foreign governments were careful not to comment publicly on a speech by a US presidential candidate, Germany’s foreign minister veered from protocol to express deep concern at Trump’s wording.
“I can only hope that the election campaign in the USA does not lack the perception of reality,” Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.
“The world’s security architecture has changed and it is no longer based on two pillars alone. It cannot be conducted unilaterally,” he said of foreign policy in a post-Cold War world. “No American president can get round this change in the international security architecture…. ‘America first’ is actually no answer to that.”
Carl Bildt, a former Swedish prime minister and foreign minister who served as UN envoy to the Balkans in the aftermath of the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, said he heard Trump’s speech as “abandoning both democratic allies and democratic values”.
“Trump had not a word against Russian aggression in Ukraine, but plenty against past U.S. support for democracy in Egypt,” Bildt said on Twitter, referring to lines from Trump’s speech that criticized the Barack Obama administration for withdrawing support for autocrat Hosni Mubarak during a 2011 uprising.
The US can only assist Israel and her allies if she remains strong, focused and consistent. It is doubtful that under Trump’s watch we will ever see anything consistent. Trump, who has no experience in the military or global public affairs, would be forced to rely on advisers. Problem is, at the age of 69 and a highly sheltered life, Trump has not and will not consult with others.
If he does, Trump would then be forced to make the final decision.
If Trump does not know the basic elements of the US Constitution how is he expected to understand complicated, external threats by Russia, Iran, North Korea, ISIS, Hamas and China?
Senator Ted Cruz is the only rational answer for a stable environment in the White House. Cruz serves on the following Senate committees:
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Chairman, Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness Member, Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security Member, Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet Member, Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security Member, Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries, and Coast Guard Senate Committee on the Judiciary Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts Member, Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest Member, Subcommittee on the Constitution Joint Economic Committee Senate Committee on Armed Services Member, Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities Member, Subcommittee on SeaPower Member, Subcommittee on Strategic Forces Senate Committee on Rules and Administration
Ted Cruz has the experience to govern.
He has proven his dedication to the American people and her allies.
As for Israel, Cruz has stopped a ban against airline flights from the US to Israel, he is presently closing the offices of the PLO in Washington, he is passing laws to recover Holocaust assets.
Ted Cruz knows what the nuclear triad is, he also knows how to pronounce Tanzania.
You should see George Will’s opinion piece from yesterday.
That is a blog for Cruz.
You would be more productive sleeping rather than trashing our Trump. Are you an American citizen? DO you even live in the USA? IF not then our election is none of your business.
“Trump is a disaster.”
I think you’re a disaster to Free Republic. You’re one of the most consistently morose and negative posters here, and have been for years.
.
Cruz has repeatedly stated that the “two State solution” is the destruction of Israel, and ultimately the US too.
.
With a Trump’s presidency Israel will once again have a partner to help them survive a world seeking the elimination of the nation of Israel. I believe Cruz will also give them a new lease for life. If either candidate makes it they will fare well.
If either Democrat makes it, kiss your Gluteus Maximus good bye.
No Need GW promised to do that already..........waiting.......waiting.......Maybe after the fence is built........
“Im ready to toss Israel on the same dung pile next to Fox News. Ive had it with all these cling on toads.”
Oh cut it out. One Israeli article using anonymous sources, and you act as if it is all of Israel speaking. It isn’t. It’s a cadre of Cruz loving jerks who are in for a rude surprise, as Trump will be President soon, and Cruz will be a mere footnote in history.
I can only hope you study our language before you attempt to write another news article.
“The world’s security architecture has changed and it is no longer based on two pillars alone.
I bet you think the world’s security architecture is now based on The Five Pillars of Islam.
If Trump does not know the basic elements of the US Constitution how is he expected to understand complicated, external threats by Russia, Iran, North Korea, ISIS, Hamas and China?
No doubt you have no clue of the the "basic elements" of the US Constitution. One of the most basic is:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;That means a Canadian born huckster is not eligible.
Exactly what do we get out of this relationship?
When the British decided to pull back after W.W. II, we in a sense, got conned into taking over as the Protector of Palestine and dealing with the new State of Israel and almost without pause there has been a war there since.
Every President since Truman has sought to no avail to try and bring peace there and it is a losing proposition.
We get nothing from Israel except problems and peace can never come as who do you deal with in any kind of Good Faith?
I will agree that Trump stated the necessary obvious that he would like to be neutral in trying to come to some sort of peace accord but knows it may be neigh impossible ever doing so. Maybe if we just pulled back Israel and the Palestinians might come to some kind of deal. But then again who knows.
I stopped reading when the writer asked how Trump will negotiate with Muslims.
A bullet between the eyes is the only way one can negotiate with either Muslims or rabid dogs.
George Will is not worth the air he breathes...and if he did stop breathing it, I’d consider that a good thing for the country. He can rot in Hell with his elitist, patrician tyrannical buddies.
This article is a PILE OF SH—.
At the end it says copyright 2013
Trump in a rally a couple of days back told the story of General Pershing... bullets dipped in pigs blood for the Muslim terrorists. Makes me wonder if the globalist are NOT in conclusion to destroy US and itch and whine that we are the global security threat. ‘Make America Great Again’, is the way to secure ‘global’ security.
Sure you can just not the way we do it currently. Think Don Corleone.
Prove it.
