A President Trump Could Be Netanyahu's Worst Nightmare read more:
Haaretz ^ | March 7, 2016 | Chemi Shalev

Posted on 03/08/2016 12:08:14 PM PST by pilgrim

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.

The Obama administration is already Israel and Netanyahu's worst nightmare.

President Trump would be a relaxing pleasant dream in comparison.

Like us, Israel needs to completely understand the following,

1. North Korea, just yesterday. threating to attack us with nukes

2.The Iranian's with their newly acquired 150 billion dollars -can simply buy nukes now!

3. Mullah Obama has already begun flying in his preset goal of 170,000 Islamic Muslim rapefugees! How many of these 170,000 will eventually beat, rape and murder our fellow Americans. How many of these 170,000 will arrive here - and eventually pull out machine guns on us.

4. The illegal mexican horde currently here and the illegal mexican hordes always enroute here -taking millions upon millions of jobs from Americans (white, black and hispanic Americans), swarming our schools, bankrupting our hospitals, raping and murdering fellow Americans. [and all the very slimy democrat politicians welcoming them -as potential democrat voters]

I'm voting for Trump!

Correct. The author is undoubtedly rooting for Hillary who, like everyone else at Haaretz, wants to divide Israel in two and give the Arabs the store.

Like Obama does. Trump’s daughter, son-in-law, and 3 grandchildren are observant Jews. He would be a breath of fresh air except to the self loathing Jews.

This is a garbage analysis by the financial oligarchy. Trump is owned by no one and that is making a lot of people scared who should be scared. The oligarchs are in a panic and are revealing all their agents of influence. Write them down, they are the terrain map for those factions who don’t want to make America great again.

Trump and Israel will do just fine. It’ll be like Cyrus (King, not Miley) and Judah.

Israel's fear should be a President Trump acting out of ignorance and a "How hard can it be?" mindset. Add to that the fact that Trump won't ever admit when he's made a mistake and I can see as many ways, or more, where this can go wrong as I do where it could go right.

I’m conflicted about Israel at this point. I have big problems with the geopolitical games and the remaining relationship with the Rothschilds, but the thing they catch the most grief over which is their handling of the “palestinians” doesn’t bother me. All Arab states hate palestinians more than Israel does and treat them worse than Israelis do. There are several reasons for that and they are all good.

Haaretz is the most leftist newspaper in Israel.

Sure. From the article:

“Trump has no god but Trump himself. And as he has proven day in and day out throughout the election campaign, he is a spiteful and vengeful deity not given to mercy or forgiveness. The cardinal sin in Trump’s bible is slighting Trump the almighty...”

This piece is a histrionic absurdity.
