US Republican Jewish Community Endorses Ted Cruz

I am a Catholic and not a Jew, but it seems patently obvious that a “more balanced” approach means selling out Israel, allowing the continued existence of the “Palestinian Authority” of the late Yasser Arafat, a soviet stooge. When these pigs say they will settle for nothing less than driving the Jews into the sea, why do you idealistically respond with false moral equivalency and ignore their intention to exterminate you. At some point, you must care as much about yourselves as your non-Jewish defenders do. You want to make us tote the entire load. We will if we must because it is the right thing to do. Why MUST you make defending you harder than it needs to be?

It's not that simple and I wish it was. First of all nobody has illusions as to the intentions of the Arab world with regards to Israel. When the term “balanced” is used it theoretically implies a give and take in negotiations, something the Plaeostinians do not know how to or want to do at this point. When a US President talks about a “balanced” view they have always erred in terms of holding the Arabs to the same yard stick as the Israelis. That is, when the PLOers violate any term of any agreement, they should be held accountable and thus far, they never have been. Only Israel is expected to honor terms and agreements written on paper. Of course it would be great if a US President came solidly down on Israel's side but that flies in the face of US Foreign Policy. So, being realistic, we have to assume that if America does not want to alienate her Arab friends (if they are really any) she must also expect to at least publicly call on both sides to honor commitments, thats all. We all know the truth about Arabs honoring their word.

There are always desired policies and then practical policies. For Rubio & Cruz to say publicly that they ONLY support Israel we know they are well intentioned BUT...they are lying as the minute one of them would become President (G-d forbid), they would tow the line with the US State Dept. which has always been hostile to Israel. So, let's get real. Israel knows the score and requires a strong America but America some reason known only to G-d, elected an amature Community Organizer and Israel hater. This being one of the stupidest US Presidents ever to hold the office has he has led us to the current planetary breakdown and chaos so what am I saying my friend?

Of course we want a solid US commitment to the ONLY TRUE friend of the US in the Middle East but we are not trying to make it harder on ourselves by calling for a theoretical “balanced” policy. It does not have to be TOTALLY balanced but it will always reflect ongoing US policy (which has been in the failure mode since about 1990...
