Trump, don’t forget, already has an unsettled account with Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister gave him a cold shoulder when Trump wanted to come to Israel after his “No more Muslims” flap in December. Trump said he was unperturbed, but if I were Netanyahu I wouldn’t be sleeping so easily at nights. Constrained by the imperatives of a GOP campaign, Trump made an exception to his usual modus operandi and restrained himself, but revenge, after all, is a dish best served cold.
But Trump is a Republican, you might respond, and Republicans wholeheartedly support Israel and Netanyahu lock, stock and barrel, no questions asked. That might be true of other Republicans, but it is certainly not completely applicable to Trump. He has pointedly refused to declare that he would rip up the Iran nuclear deal in his first day in office, like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio; ..........
In 2004, Trump reportedly said he could achieve Israeli-Palestinian peace in two weeks; last December it was up to 6 months. But Trump is certainly aware of what will be required in order to achieve peace in two weeks, six months or two years: 2 states, 1967 borders with swaps, shared Jerusalem. Perhaps that’s why Trump has said he didn’t know whether Israelis and Palestinians wanted peace; he was not only being evenhanded, he seemed to be placing more of the blame on Israel.

From the article...
“Trump has no god but Trump himself...”
Truer words have rarely been written - except for maybe the phrase “cult of personality”.
Whoa! I did not know this. Are you sure??
Let me ask please, were did you read this? Is this on the Trump website or at wiki? If this is true, this is good news. Perhaps this may influence more Jewish voters in our country -to vote for Trump. Can you post a url for all to see please.
Trump has an orthodox Jewish son-in-law, and his daughter converted. I doubt he is going to want to screw Israel over.
Oh please... Give it a break!
Every magazine that writes about Ivanka says so and Trump mentions it often. It is on wiki also
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Interesting, Ha'aertz being a far left publication read largely in the west, an entire editorial devoted to the concept that on Israel Trump is the weakest of the Republican candidates. Though I don't care about their opinion much, they could be right. I find it interesting neither Hillary nor Bernie nor Barry are mentioned. The idea that Trump or any of the Republican candidates would be weaker on Israel than them is so absurd even this leftist doesn't attempt to make it.
Ahh, gotcha. Thank you both for taking the time to reply.
I do hope then, that all of our Jewish brethren in our country will
give this deep consideration when they go to vote in Nov. And vote for Trump.

61% of Israelis support Trump - this “opinion” piece is of no value.

Haaretz is the leftwing Israeli paper that wants Israel wiped out more than the muslims do.
seems a lot of attack pieces are coming out against Trump
Yep, the left is Israel is all mixed up.
Yes and we all know that the delusonal liberals at abc, cbs, nbc, cnn and msnbc will continue with their misguided attack pieces all the way to the night before the general election in Nov. They'll just be wasting their time.
Where have you been????
Ultra cute (and smart) Ivanka Trump married an observant Jew and converted before marriage. Since she is a Jewish mother all her children are Jews.
Thus The Donald has three Jewish grandchildren
I haven’t paid much attention to the personal lives of the Trump family members, that’s why I am surprised to hear about this tonight. Never read those gossip mags at the grocery stores which are solid filled with the personal stories of all celebrities.

“61% of Israelis support Trump “
I’m surprised it isn’t over 70%.
Some of them aren’t paying attention, and some have seen the occasional attempts to make him look anti Israel.
it probably is , but we know how the media twists the facts.
Hell Yesterday Cruz stated that he was a contested convention, last night after the results he said he is OK with it.
I ma sure the GOP is so happy about that since he is doing the establishment bidding to stop Trump, but do we see the media showing this blatant lie, hell no.
