As to our “Choom” president, he is essentially a traitor to the constitution, the People and to the allies of the USA. He should be tried for treason and summarily punished as befits his crime.
Bibi is more that the leader of Israel, he is the leader of the Free World, the Choom president abdicated that seat traditionally ocupied by US presidents.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

It is odd that to build homes in existing Jewish communities for Jew to live it offends the United States, and is described even in the Israeli press as defiance.
Thank you.
