GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday refused to pick sides in the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
"You know, I don’t want to get into it," he told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski during a MSNBC town hall in Charleston, S.C.

one better have a better answer on Israel / Palestine conflict than “I don’t want to get into it” if they want to be President. We need a President that WILL take sides and support Israel.
“I was with a very prominent Israeli the other day and he said it’s impossible because the other side has been trained from the time they’re children to hate Jewish people,” Trump said.
America First ... do you disagree ?
Ok, that is less objectionable than the headline.
I used to think there were a lot of smart people here, but elections seem to bring out the dumb ones. I watched it and agree with what he said. Others should before they post.
America first and supporting Israel are not mutually exclusive.

After reading the article I am not as concerned with his actual comments.
The headline writer is misleading.
“You understand a lot of people have gone down in flames trying to make that deal. So I don’t want to say whose fault it is - I don’t think that helps.”
“You have one side in particular growing up and learning that ‘these are the worst people, these are the worst people, etc., etc.,” he said.
Except when asked if he would choose a muslim to serve on his cabinet he said OF COURSE. I LIKE MUSLIMS!!!
He never said that and will stand with Israel.
The history of trying to bring peace in that region is a road full of wrecks. I do not believe that there can ever be a peace deal.
See we got conned by the British after W.W. II to take over for them as the protector of Israel in that region.
Think about for a moment though why exactly do we support Israel, from anther viewpoint they don;t really do anything for us and if we had not supported them would we have had better relations in the ME? Lot of food for thought.
Trump is not my first choice, he is second,Cruz first, but for you to come out with that is ridiculous and makes this site look like DU.
You need to get over the derangement, seriously you do.
Mika Brzezinski is not neutral on Israel.
Neither is her Israel hatimg father.
He’s not morally weak or confused. His morals are consistent. They just aren’t conservative.
His history shows he’ll do anything and support anyone for a buck
Yes they are mutually exclusive , or should be ...Israel can more than handle themselves ..plus they are now buddies with Saudi Arabia ...let the Saudi’s step up
Right, like if you are going to work out a peace agreement between God and Satan, you can’t pick sides. How would you ever expect to broker a peace agreement? it is all about deals, right? Moral equivalency, all sides are equal.
IF that isn't the truth!!!
Do you read a lot of Mearsheimer and Walt?
“I have friends of mine that are tremendous businesspeople, that are really great negotiators, [and] they say it’s not doable.
Don blows with the wind, to Donald Land!
