One of the big reasons I got fed up with the Democrats and left is that Barack Hussein Obama broke with the tradition of previous Presidents, from JFK to Nixon, Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, all from both parties, of honouring the only free-market and free society country in the Middle East, that is Israel. Obama joins Michael Moore, Max Blumenthal, Dhimmi Carter, alongside Fidel Castro, George Galloway, Jeremy Corbyn, and other radical crazies. George HW Bush was an exception to this, tho come to think of it, he was nicer to Shamir than Obama was to Netanyahu, who BTW is more American than Barry will ever be. Unfortunately tho, Bush Sr. pushed Madrid in 1991 and Oslo was mostly negotiated before he left office (1/20/1993). GHW was also better on this issue than Dhimmi Carter, who in reality, almost scuttled Egypt/Israel peace, not facilitated it.
Year after year has yielded results like this:
Given the 4:1 RATIO, I think it can be said: REAL AMERICANS SUPPORT ISRAEL. THOSE WHO DON'T ARE SOCIETY'S FRINGE.
Why? Because unlike the Europeans (http://www.pewglobal.org/2009/01/29/ideology-and-views-toward-the-middle-east-conflict/), who gave the world Fascism AND Communism, America honors hard work and ingenuity. Jews, as an immigrant group to this great land, have been a part since the beginning, from the time of Haym Solomon, who financed the American Revolution at the time of the original Tea Party, to today. Obama wants to claim that Muslims somehow played any role in America's beginning. He's half-right; the Caliphate was among the first major enemies of America, during the Barbary Wars. Like the Irish, Italians, Germans, and unlike Muslim immigrants, the Jews rolled with the punches and got to what was real, to quote David Lee Roth. It wasn't constant victimhood/whining.
Freedom House, an honourable and authoritative NGO, ranks Israel as the only "free" nation in the Middle East, in contrast to "partly free" and "not free." You can go to their site and see for yourself. https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/freedom-world-2016/
Freedom House: Middle East
During the Cold War, Israel fought Communist Allied Egypt, led by Gamel Nasser, a "Hero of the Soviet Union." Back then, Hafez Al-Assad was in bed with the Bolsheviks, which is the root of Putin's love for Assad. They captured their MiG planes and gave them to us. The PLO was Bolshevik backed; here is a pic of Arafat and his communist buddies . While some think maybe our relationship with Arab countries could be better weren't for the Jewish State, in reality, those places were never stable and Israel was America's bargaining chip that got the Arab countries to firm up and follow us instead of the Bolsheviks, who woulda taken over the MidEast were an American ally not there. It functioned for America geographically as Cuba did for the USSR in this part of the world; without the torture chambers of Castro and whatnot. Were not for Israel, the Bolsheviks would've achieved there what they tried to do in Central America and it woulda been much easier without our/Israel's presence than in Central America.

Efraim Karsh's "Islamic Imperialism", a spectacular book, tells of the history of Israel's conflict with the "Palestinians." In reality, it was never a "nationalist" conflict like liberals want you to believe. It is an Islamic conflict, dating back to the concept of fitna; that Muslims only gain land, never lose it. Israel, along with America today, stands firm against RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR. One can find the massive amounts of contribution that Israel gives to America in this study http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/friends-with-benefits-why-the-u.s.-israeli-alliance-is-good-for-america . Israel and America are the last best hope of men on Earth blocking it from going into a thousand years of Islam darkness. The people in Europe/elsewhere who protest Israel actually are protesting America, both figuratively and literally. They see both America and Israel as "hypercapitalist" who "exploit 'indigenous'" people, yadda yadda yadda. Some even liken Palestinians to "the new 'Native Americans'." (they should really be called aboriginal. I'm American, native born, thus, I'm a "Native American." Its a BS analogy too tho; the aboriginals did get the shaft in some ways; the Palestinian Arabs got nothing like it.
OBL, ISIS, and other Radical Islamic Terrorists don't hate America because she honours Israel; they hate America because it dominates the world order instead of Muslimism. Israel is an ally, thus an easy target.
America needs a President who will authoritatively and firmly stand with the Jewish State of Israel and see to it that America forever does so thruout the ages. Anyone who does not is disqualified from leading the free world against evil, be it fascism, communism, or Islamism.
But Trump is not taking sides or placing blame. He is a “neutral guy”.
“Obama most definitely is enemy, not American in this and in countless additional ways... as he works so audaciously to weaken America, our defenses, our economy—jobs...and the morale and morals of our society.”
Obama is a symptom of America’s problem and a tool of the enemy. To those of us on the right, his face represents the problem in America.
Well, his face, and his voice, and his pen and his telephone...
Geez, relax man. I was copying the guy’s post and it was late. I know full well the difference between ancestors and descendants. I was going to subtly correct him by putting “ancestors” in quotes, but forgot. He probably knows the difference too, but just got sloppy due to the hour.
But grammar aside, no, the guy did NOT have a point. Israelis, as I said, have been fighting for their survival since Day 1.
while I think a lot of what Trump said was taken outta context, he does need to change his tone on this issue and stand with Israel much more strongly/explicitly. Cruz is by far the best on the issue:

out of context? That depends, Trump’s words leave the door wide open so that either side can read into them as they wish. That is intentional. it means that when you get to the nitty gritty, you do not really know what Trump stands for or will do. Not good.
Have you considered that Muslims may be today’s Babylonians?
oh no, they’re today’s Mohammedan Islams; Koran in one hand, sword in the other, same ilk that stole Spain for almost 1000 years.
