GOP front-runner Donald Trump refused to pick sides in the conflict between Israel and Palestine in last nightâs town hall on MSNBC.
âI donât want to get into it,â he told moderators Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
âIf I win, I donât want to be in a position where Iâm saying to you [my choice] and the other side now says, âWe donât want Trump involvedâ¦let me be sort of a neutral guy,â said the billionaire businessman.
Trump described the Middle Eastern struggle as the âtoughest deal in the world right now to make.â
âA lot of people say an agreement canât be made, which is OK, sometimes agreements canât 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.â Trump cited the hatred between Israelis and Palestinians as the biggest obstacle to peace.

Here’s your chance to set the record straight. I HATE watching TV :)
could you summarize what he said in a few sentences.
Israel is dealing with murderous fanatics so i would be interested in what he said
More like Trump would go to Netanyahu and tell him, ‘Do what you have to do.”
Donald TRUMP is killin’ it.
He is already running a general election campaign and his opponents are not even killin’ it in the South, where their own future depends upon winning.
TRUMP leads with evangelicals, even. Incredible, and he will rock in the NORTH.
Get real. You’re missing the Revolution, entirely.
.
Trump is right down the middle of the progressive tunnel.
Note that Israel has totally ignored Trump, while actually supporting Cruz, both in secular and spiritual channels.
America’s only ally ignores Trump!
.
I sense that whatever I say won’t matter and a waste of my time. Better you watch youtube and listen for yourself.
I'm sure in short order, Trump will change his position again when the political winds change again.
Trump has always been a friend of Israel!
Donald Trump Donates Over $100,000 to Israeli Emergency ...
Algemeiner Journal
Feb 10, 2014 - Real estate tycoon Donald Trump has pledged to donate over $100000 to ... Trump has been a vocal supporter of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. ...
Feel free to show what he really said, no let me.
“SCARBOROUGH: Israeli or Palestinian?
TRUMP: I don’t want to get into it for a different reason, Joe, because if I do win, there has to be a certain amount of surprise, unpredictability, our country has no unpredictability. If I win, I don’t want to be in a position where I’m saying to you, and the other side now say, “We don’t want Trump involved, we don’t want” - let me be sort of a neutral guy, let’s see what - I’m going to give it a shot. It would be so great.”
Yes nothing like telling your allies .. we may or may not have your back when you need us because I need unpredictability.. sounds a bit “like after the election I will have more flexibility”
So did Bush...who reneged on the promise. But did we ever see Mark Levin question Bush's commitment to Israel? Never. So why is he smearing Trump? ANYTHING to help the unelectable Cruz.
I am beginning to think that you are an agent-provocateur for the establishment cabal.
If Donald Trump has taken sides, this post would have been about: Trump sides with Israel, Peace Talks in Jeopardy! What he said is that he had talked to Israelis, and they told him it was going to be hard to make a deal because the Arabs teach their children to hate Jews. But Trump said he would like to try to make a deal if it is possible. So he wanted to stay neutral.
Now, after Donald Trump is elected President, and the Islamic State is decimated, including the portions of it in Gaza and Judea and Samaria, then maybe the negotiations will be easier. When you win, the peace negotiations go a lot smoother.
Here’s a question for President Trump...
Let’s say we had a repeat of something similar to the Yom Kippur war but this time with Iran invading Israel ... Would he support Israel with arms the way Nixon did
.
There is no true believing Christian that supports Trump in any way.
“Christians” that support Trump are well described in 2Peter chapter 2.
.
A Jewish Manhattanitte? Well I’m sure she is genuinely kosher..../eye roll
.
Why do you think that Israel is giving Trump a total cold shoulder?
Why are they so enthusiastically supporting Cruz?
.
“Anyone who thinks Trump is anti-Israel is full of it.”
I could not agree more.
You are reading much too much into it and I can tell whom you are supporting. As I said, it is a waste of my time. Your mind is already made up based on something Trump never said.
Seems to be plenty of money for both. Jews in America send over $5 billion annually to Israel just through charitable organizations. That doesn’t include tourism or other business interactions.
Outed? For pointing out Levin is an idiot for smearing Trump as some kind of Israel-hater? I'll own it. Just like Levin was an idiot for endorsing Orrin Hatch and buying into Marco Rubio's Gang of 8 lies.
You are grasping for straws now...pitiful to see. If the capital was moved to Jerusalem today, would you credit Obama?
