U.S. 'REVERSES' Carter, Barack Obama Policy Declaring Israeli Settlements ‘Illegal’....

The Zionist Organization of America “strongly praised” the announcement that “the United States no longer adheres to the Anti-Semitic Orwellian lie that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are illegal and a breach of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.”

The Republican Jewish Coalition called the change a “historic decision by the Trump Administration, one that recognizes the facts on the ground and the necessity of a negotiated peace between the parties to the conflict.”

In 1978, the Carter administration adopted the position that the settlements violated international law. President Ronald Reagan reversed that policy, but then Obama reinstated it during the lame duck days of his administration.

Secretary Pompeo issued a statement explaining the administration’s legal reasoning (original emphasis):

If the worst and second worst presidents we’ve had were for it...

Perhaps that wasn’t clear enough.

If the worst and second worst presidents we’ve had were for it... (calling it illegal)...

“Best friend Israel has EVER had in the White House !”

He sure is and as a result I bet he gets 15% of the Jewish vote instead of 10.

GW Bush had the same policy.

Bush League Republicans are Democrats in R jerseys.

No way to be sure. I've always been in your 10%, but my own experience is that many of my lundsmen are afraid to voice their opinions publicly, but when you get them alone it's a different story. E.g. On a recent plane ride I was sitting next to a woman from (liberal) Connecticut. We exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes during which she let slip the phrase "Fake News." We had a non-PC conversation for the entire three hour flight.
