While some in America complain about President Trump, in Israel he is a rock star.
I just left Israel after meeting with top officials, media personalities, tech entrepreneurs, and many citizens from all walks of life.
The overwhelming view was that America was lucky to have a strong and resolute president like Donald Trump.
Israelis are well informed and especially clued in on U.S. media – many can catch CNN and Fox News on TV – and they expressed bafflement to me that the American media has been so hostile to President Trump.
For the Jewish state, Trump is a breath of fresh air. After eight years of Obama, who tilted U.S. policy toward Iran and gave Israel a cold shoulder, many are breathing a sigh of relief.
A recent Jerusalem Post poll found that 61 percent of Israel's Jews believe Trump is "pro-Israel" and a Pew survey of all nations found Israel to be the second strongest supporter of Trump, with 56 percent saying they had full confidence in him.

And with above statement, based on an unnamed source, Chris Ruddy delivers the HR McMaster punchline of the story.
He’s a rock star period
Not that it matters, but, Mc Masters is hardly trust friend inside Israel. His making up that the Pallies actually have had a previous homeland on Israeli soil, and that Israel is an evil occupier of Pally land is a fiction few Israelis appriciate.
Ruddy himself is two faced and not the true conservative unbiased journalist.
Just look at who he has supported over the years for proof
