Trump: I’ll be ‘neutral’ on Israel and Palestine
The Hill ^ | 02/17/2016 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 02/17/2016 7:06:34 PM PST by GIdget2004

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.

“Trump is quite level headed about this and will keep us out of meaningless , endless conflicts”

Trump, level headed, now I have heard everything! Trump can not get through with speech without giving a juvenile put downs to Cruz! If Trump is going to continue with his jabs, he at least needs to contact Dennis Miller on taking people down with words!

As far as this frivolous war for nothing, I am talking about defending Americas closest ally in the mid east and possibly in the world! Once upon a time we would always defended our allies and our word meant something, not so much now!

Hm. I don't recall any conservatives advocating peace between Rhodesia and Communists in Africa, or between Somoza and the Sandinistas.

IOW, you want our money but not our meddling in your affairs. Alright then.

Imagine that! They can't possibly be the same as Biblical Israel because they're not Calvinists!!!

Since about 70AD Israel has gone without a Temple nor a monarchy of any kind. The Temple was utterly destroyed on the same exact day as the last Temple was destroyed due to the wrath of God, and what followed was the death of between 1 to 2 million Jews, with many more sold into slavery and scattered across the globe. And since that time, you've had no Prophet, though many false Messiahs. No peace. Even though God always gave hope, and promises, and specific timeframes for how long your punishment should last. And the land utterly trampled under by Gentiles, even to the present day with the Palestinians controlling the Temple mount. You have no Moses. No lawgivers. Just a secular state in its place that is hardly ruled by religious Jews.

So yes, even on an objective level, or even from a historical Old Testament perspective, this Israel is not the Israel of the Bible.

Hm. I must confess that I am unaware that the Israelis were organizing mass Mexican immigration into the United States

Look at the Republican Jewish Coalition. Look at every Jewish organization in the country. They might differ on many things, but they all like amnesty. Yet, look at the ADL. They have a page in favor of amnesty and mass immigration, then another defending Israeli immigration policy. Even Netenyahu criticized Trump's Muslim moratorium, even though Israeli immigration law is even harsher.

Why should a Jewish state then demand hundreds of millions for their national defense, and that we back them in everything, if they treat our Christian Missionaries as wolves that will make Jews "lose their soul" to such things as-- eating bacon and not believing in silly, Talmudic fables?

As usual, you cannot see anything but your rabid desire to bring an end to Jews by converting them to non-Jews.

You are saying that for the "price" the U.S. pays by supporting a known ally in a region of non-allies, which brings hosts of wonderful technological and lifesaving medical developments to the U.S. citizenry, one-note idiots like YOU should then be allowed to prey on Jewish souls.

You then belittle the holy Talmud, the work of geniuses far above your very limited level of understanding by referring to it as "silly Talmudic fables". How dare you impugn the religious texts of another religion? Your very words show the world what a totally pathetic practitioner of your own religion you are. You really should not eat bacon, you know---for you, it's committing cannibalism.

An insane, bigoted declaration, because it makes all Jewish Christians into Non-Jews. So you want American money, and for us to pass laws to make it illegal for people to boycott Jewish goods, and you want our weapons and our willingness to go to war with your neighbors-- but can't tolerate American culture or Christianity, because it will "bring an end to Jews." Because freedom of religion is bad, at least, if it's Christianity, but you do prefer even atheist Jews over Christian ones!

You then belittle the holy Talmud

Of course I do. It has stupid stuff in it like eating mud-cakes made from the mud around a toilet in order to cure certain diseases, and bizarre, wicked declarations (like Rabbis having the right to overrule God) and simply ugly statements made against women and even non-Jews in general. Then I end up debating silly Rabbis whose only intellectual argument they can make at the end of everything is: "We have superior knowledge!", as if God told them all these bizarre and ugly things directly.

Ron Paul’s not running again and so The Donald is pandering to the Stormfront voters and David Duke’s constituency.

This conservative Republican Jew had zero issue with what Trump said.

Some of you are really losing your marbles over a nothingburger.

Thank you for that. The last paragraph made absolutely no sense.

He said it was maybe impossible because the Palestinians are taught from birth to hate Jews, but would be willing to give it a try.

I kind of also interpret it as, "If Netanyahu wiped out all the Palis, I wouldn't shed a tear."

The Israelis successfully revolted against Brit misrule under the leadership of David ben Gurion, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir, the Irgun and the Stern Gang. They are and alwauys have been our allies. This artificial Palestinian "Authority" was created by politicians on auto-sellout and deserves to be crushed once and for all. Is there some reason we should want better relations with the lunatics whose self-imposed ad imagined misery is such that they want to share that misery or transfer that misery to the Jews and the Americans.

Consider the King David Hotel incident before you imagine that the rits had any intention of protecting Israel or handing off the responsibility to the US. We voluntarily assumed the role of Israel's protector because it is, by far, the most civilized nation in that region.

Being an ally is rarely about going to war.

Adulation of Jews is about as prejudiced as hating Jews. I like accepting people on a “case by case” basis like Nicolas Cage said to his daughter in Family Man.

That’s how God does it with individuals. He also has standards for blessings of nations and consequences for nations.

You must remember that Christians know that Jesus is their Messiah. The word “Christ” is Greek for Messiah. However, Christians must remember that He isn’t ruling from there yet but when He does...

“Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘In those days ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’” Zechariah 8:23

There are very few people I do not like. There are very few people I respect. Having been born in the Bronx and spending much time there growing up I have the NY attitude towards people of different cultures. I also used to wonder how I would think about life if I had been born in Russia or China, but I wonder about everything.

Blow it out your rear end. I tolerate Christianity just fine because I actually read the Tanakh. There’s no danger of me converting to any man made religion.

Except for Christian missionaries in Israel. As for man made religion, that's precisely why I reject the Talmud/Kabbalah and modern day Judaism!

“Being an ally is rarely about going to war.”

Sure it is, why do you think Nato and Seato were established?

The people you are freaking out about are a minority of Jew population in Israel.

I don’t care about them. Some go very far.

But you must respect it’s a Jewish state. The only Jewish state, and there are many Christians there.

Many people in the US need help, assistance, and charity. Maybe you should focus your efforts there.
