Let me preface my comments by calling myself a supporter of Israel.
Heck, I’m reading David Ben Gurion’s recollections “Ben Gurion Looks Back” right now.
Bill Kristol is tied to the AIPAC-Israel Lobby.
One of Kristol’s ‘soulmates’ regarding Trump, Glenn Beck, said a year or two ago that he was a supporter of Israel, but not the people who support Israel. That would include a lot of insiders like Senators McCain and Graham, Diane Feinstein on the Democrat side and yes, Hillary Clinton.
I was saddened when Sarah Palin was excluded from a pro-Israel event in New York right after she was chosen as VP candidate in 2008.
Palin was excluded because Hillary Clinton was going to be there and the organizers deferred to Hillary over Sarah. That should tell us something about a powerful inside the Beltway lobby and their preferred choice for POTUS this year.
While I may agree with the cause of Israel, the lobbyists for Israel in Washington confound me, baffle me and the list goes on.
AIPAC is supporting politicians this year who voted for the Iran Nuclear Deal, for example.
Kristol must be in the end some sort of front man for inside the Beltway interests quite likely the AIPAC crowd and or the ‘military-industrial complex’ of defense contractors.
The issue I can see is that these neocon interests greatly fear Trump’s isolationist sentiments and hate and fear the prospect of a sea change in American policy that would stop,us from inserting and expanding our involvement in conflicts in Syria Iraq Yemen Ukraine Africa and trying to reheat and re- serve the “ Cold War” by using NATO as a probe and a distraction against Putin
War is good business, people make money from it
Proxy war is a good global game, a mental,challenge letting intelligence guys use real military stuff and real,human bodies of other people’s kids to play the Hunger Games and outsmart Russia Iran and China while not going over the edge into,world war 3
These guys just do NOT see an end to the Game of Thrones
They are certain their money and their superior intellect can keep it going
