Netanyahu: 'I will name a Golan town after Trump'
The Jerusalem Post ^ | April 23, 2019 | Herb Keinon

Posted on 04/23/2019 1:16:05 PM PDT by Kaslin

Netanyahu said there “is a need to express our appreciation by calling a community or neighborhood on the Golan Heights after Donald Trump."

If Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has his way, alongside Katzrin, Ramot and Ramat Magshimim on the Golan Heights, there may someday soon be a community named Kiryat Trump.

Netanyahu, who on Tuesday toured the Golan with his wife and sons, said a community or neighborhood on the Golan Heights should be named after US President Donald Trump in appreciation for his decision last month to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the strategic plateau.

PM Netanyahu: "a new community on the Golan Heights named after President Trump"

“I am here with my family and many citizens of Israel at the foot of the Golan Heights, happy with the joy of the holiday and our beautiful country,” Netanyahu said in a video post. “And there is more joy - a few weeks ago I brought President Trump’s official recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights forever.”

Netanyahu said there “is a need to express our appreciation by calling a community or neighborhood on the Golan Heights after Donald Trump. I will bring that to the government [for approval] soon.”

Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights came in late March, some two weeks before the April 9 elections, 52 years after Israel captured the region during the 1967 Six Day War, and 38 years after Israel annexed the region.

GWB and Obama are thinking; “Nobody ever named a town after me yet! Carter stopped waiting for that sort of tribute a long time ago.

Obama has a street named after him in West Palm each/Singer Island, right in a ghetto.

This was posted just before Passover. It is based on a Passover song.
____________________________

A Dayenu for this Passover [Pres. Trump reference]
email | 04/17/19 | Jews Choose Trump

Posted on 4/17/2019, 8:37:31 PM by BTerclinger

At Passover, Jews sing this song “Dayenu” (“It would have been enough”):

“The song is about being grateful to God for all of the gifts He gave the Jewish people, such as taking them out of slavery, giving them the Torah and Shabbat, and had God only given one of the gifts, it would have still been enough.

This is to show much greater appreciation for all of them as a whole. The song appears in the haggadah (the Passover text followed during the Seder service/meal), after the telling of the story of the Exodus and just before the explanation of Passover...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayenu

So here’s an updated Dayenu for this Passover (and no, its not implying that Pres. Trump is God):

If President Trump had only moved the US embassy to Jerusalem - Dayenu (“It would have been enough”)

If President Trump had only recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan - Dayenu

If President Trump had only appointed Nikki Haley as Ambassador to the UN -Dayenu

If President Trump had only closed the PLO office in Washington DC- Dayenu

If President Trump had only stopped giving US tax dollars to the PLO - Dayenu

If President Trump had only been the first sitting US President to pray at the Western Wall -Dayenu

If President Trump had only cancelled the disastrous Obama Iran nuclear deal -Dayenu

If President Trump had only placed crushing sanctions on Iran -Dayenu

If President Trump had only insisted that the ICC not target Israeli soldiers and diplomats - Dayenu

If President Trump has only banned the BDS founder from entering the US - Dayenu

For all of these blessings, we thank President Trump- the most pro-Israel president in American history.

As the Israeli ambassador to the US, Ron Dermer said:

“It is true, as we say during the Passover seder, that “in every generation they rise up against us”…

But it is a rare thing- a very rare thing- a president like President Trump and an administration like the Trump administration- it doesn’t happen every generation. It may happen once in many, many generations.”

Awesome.

If only the enemy half of OUR country was behind the President - think how far we could go.
