Trump Won't Choose Sides Between Israel and Palestine
Conservative Review ^ | 2/18/16 | CRWire

Posted on 02/18/2016 9:02:37 AM PST by lormand

GOP front-runner Donald Trump refused to pick sides in the conflict between Israel and Palestine in last night’s town hall on MSNBC.

“I don’t want to get into it,” he told moderators Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

“If I win, I don’t want to be in a position where I’m saying to you [my choice] and the other side now says, ‘We don’t want Trump involved…let me be sort of a neutral guy,” said the billionaire businessman.

Trump described the Middle Eastern struggle as the “toughest deal in the world right now to make.”

“A lot of people say an agreement can’t be made, which is OK, sometimes agreements can’t be made [and they are] not good. I will give it one hell of a shot. I would say if you can do that deal, you can do any deal.” Trump cited the hatred between Israelis and Palestinians as the biggest obstacle to peace.

Donald Trump: I can’t choose between Israel or Palestine.

You: I think Donald Trump is for Israel winning the war!

Me: I think Donald trumps morality is a figment in his supporters imagination.

...and Trump has not chosen a neutral position.

From the article: Donald Trump refused to pick sides in the conflict between Israel and Palestine...

Do you still wonder why conservatives believe Donald Trump supporters are delusional?

Those who support the progressive Trump will keep the progressive Hilary from controlling the White House, those are the only two choices, the MSM have voted! Of course there are some of us that actually want a president, not a media mogul to rule the country.

You do realize that all the neo-cons aren’t conservative at all, don’t you? They support abortion, gay rights, affirmative action, open borders, gun control, and every other leftist ideas. They only moved to the republican party when the dems started becoming the peace party, but they kept all their old tired leftist views on all the social issues. In the republican party they have been howling for wars ever since. They really need to be sent back to the dems from whence they came.

GOSH! RUN FOR THE HILLS! You bore me with all your “facts”... Your purpose for doing this is, what again?
You must have your “ideal” candidate in there somewhere. This nation is so screwed up now... Tell me: Who it is that you think is courageous enough to take on this corrupt system we are governed by now? Who is NOT connected to this present corruption that pollutes our daily lives.
A critical thinker matures and discards his/her old incorrect way for what he/she believes is “right.” I’m sure you’ve done this.
Also where do you go to get closest to the truth? Folks want to know.

OK,but what is your point?

Everything there is in perfect agreement with what I posted.

Describing “The Last Trump” (end of the Trib) nicely.

Are you also willing to believe that neutrality to ISIS is a wise political move?

Do you really want another eight years of a progressive president that can’t say that Islam is evil?

Did Reagan bring down Russia without a war by kissing up to them?

Did Obama bring down the Islamic empire by kissing up to them?

Trump is no Reagan, he’s the right wing version of Obama.

Donald Chump getting hot pink as in Code Pink
_________________________

Your opinion is uninformed. Trump made these comments to a Jewish Republican group earlier in the campaign, to which they understood Trump’s point, which is ...

“How can you negotiate with the parties when you make comments that indicate you have your thumb on the scale for one party over the other?”

Who would attend such a mediation?

Of course there are some of us that actually want a president milquetoast polished politician that will tell us what we want to hear during the election, then bend us over and screw once elected, not a media mogul to rule the country.

Fixed it!

That’s the problem with people who see themselves primarily as deal makers. They have no binding principles that make up what most of us know as ‘character’ so they have no qualms about changing their positions.

I love Trump’s rhetoric about lots of issues and that he won’t be politically correct BUT..

Can’t we find someone who says basically the same things about immigration, jihadism, and the exploding debt without the nagging worry that he will sell us out to make a deal? He said on ABC Morning show the other day that: “I’m capable of changing into anything I want to be.”

What if he wants to turn to the left and be a liberal again?

The phrase neo-con war monger is right out of the communist playbook. You out yourself.

Mediation is not the answer!

Mediation violates YHVH’s covenant with Abraham.

That brings dire consequences.

One must trust YHVH only.

You said that, not me.

The tea party label has been hijacked by K St. Lobbyists. Jenny Beth Martin (Levin’s favorite) is getting $400,000 a year to FOOL you into thinking it’s the grass roots tea party. IT ISN’T.

Levin, Beck and Rush have SOLD OUT.

I’m not fond of the source, but they are mostly right.

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/04/tea-party-radio-network-105774

Everyone knows this except those who don’t want to know. WE HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT BY MOST so called ‘conservative’ talking heads and groups...Club 4 growth, the ACU, Heritage, Cpac, THE RNC, NRCC, NRSC........

You can continue to be oblivious to it, or you can wise up and help save what is left of this country.

what are they then, if not warmongers? They are tired old leftists who moved from the democrat party when it became more of a peace party. They continue to support the left on all the social issues, open borders (except for Israel where they support their wall), gay marriage, abortion, gun control, you name it, whatever leftist idea there is they support. The only difference is that they want Americans to die in the Middle East.

You out yourself, by supporting them.
