Front-running Rep. candidate who opposed Iran deal says Middle East peace depends on more Israeli 'sacrifices.'
Front-running Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, generally hawkish on Muslims-vs.-West issues, has alarmed some pro-Israel elements in the United Statements with a speech he delivered on Thursday.
Peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority "has to do with Israel and whether or not Israel's willing to sacrifice certain things," Trump told the Jewish Republican Coalition. This, despite his acknowledgement that Israel had already made many difficult moves for the sake of a peace agreement.
Trump also made several remarks that were quickly accused of bearing anti-Semitic intonations. “I’m a negotiator like you folks are," he said, noting that if he had brokered the deal with Iran, it would have been on better terms for the West than the current deal negotiated by President Obama and Secretary Kerry.
Later he said, not antagonistically, “Is there anyone in this room who doesn’t negotiate deals? Probably more than any room I’ve ever spoken." He added that the Jews would not support him for president "even though you know I’m the best thing that could ever happen to Israel… You're not going to support me because I don’t want your money.â€%

They all laughe WITH him.
“They have NO argument about anything. Barrack Hussein Obama got 78% of the Jewish vote in 2008.”
Exactly, and look how disgracefully Obama’s treated Israel.
They like to believe the worst stuff the MSM comes up with because they think it will elevate Cruz.
It will be very tough for them when the media actually unloads their plans on Cruz. And they do have plans.
Sounds like Barry's policies, actually.
Precisely. He was commenting on them being good negotiators and business people. This, coming from one of the top businessmen in the country who clearly views negotiating skills and business smarts as positives traits. It was meant as a compliment, and it was received that way.
So Trump has revenge in mind against Israel because Jews don’t support him anyway, is that your point?
He is a blowhard that can’t remember all the people he has insulted and crapped on, because the number is myriad.
If Trump wins the nomination, and picks Cruz for his VP, then the media will go ballistic on him too. You betcha they have plans for Cruz. Right now, they have to run 24/7 anti-Trump pieces - for all the good it’s doing them.
You are an idiot. Provide numbers that back anything you say.
If it is just you and your thoughts, I stand firm.
Trump will be over in Israel to meet with Bibi. Let’s see what he has to say after the meeting.
They sound pretty serious.
Phone rings...
ZOA: “Hello?”
GOPe: “Have we got a deal for you!”
LOL!
What silly nonsense this all is.
Good God, Israel has sacrificed enough.
So, not “no,” but HELL NO!!
12, 100, 280
Trump’s emotional age, Trump’s IQ, electoral votes Trump won’t get.
maybe you only hear what you want?
I don’t think so.
Trump is in my opinion, taking the right path.
Just my opinion. We shall see. Recall his own daughter is now Jewish.
I am not however. Maybe I don’t get things from the Jewish standpoint, but this seems to me to be overly critical of Trump.
I’ve made the assertion a couple of time in the past week that Trump is busy running his competition into the wall, using NASCAR speak.
He’s not bothering to take them on head to head, he’s not bothering to name them, he’s just going to marginalize them and make them go away.
I think he’s done with them before Christmas.
Gotta admit, he’s off to a good start.
Thank God America is awakening, and Trump is the bell ringer.
Yeah every time we watch a Trump speech we are told to watch the speech to see what he actually said. Funny thing is we hear what he said rather than some encrypted code Trumpsters seem to hear.
Well if a 12 year old of an IQ of 100 can get 280 electoral votes, what does that say for you?
I heard that speech and Trump was very clear. Whatever Israel does not want to do, Israel does not have to do.
I heard the same speech and he was clear to say that Israel does not have to do anything it does not want to do. He also said that Israel gave up much too much as it is and has been treated very poorly.
It amazes me how many trolls there are on this forum who outright lie.
