Trump Won't Choose Sides Between Israel and Palestine
Conservative Review ^ | 2/18/16 | CRWire

Posted on 02/18/2016 9:02:37 AM PST by lormand

GOP front-runner Donald Trump refused to pick sides in the conflict between Israel and Palestine in last night’s town hall on MSNBC.

“I don’t want to get into it,” he told moderators Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

“If I win, I don’t want to be in a position where I’m saying to you [my choice] and the other side now says, ‘We don’t want Trump involved…let me be sort of a neutral guy,” said the billionaire businessman.

Trump described the Middle Eastern struggle as the “toughest deal in the world right now to make.”

“A lot of people say an agreement can’t be made, which is OK, sometimes agreements can’t be made [and they are] not good. I will give it one hell of a shot. I would say if you can do that deal, you can do any deal.” Trump cited the hatred between Israelis and Palestinians as the biggest obstacle to peace.

Those that refuse to support Trump will put Hitlery right into the White House. Hope you sad sacks will be happy with that.

I’m not sold on Trump myself, but I have to agree with you. The quote is taken entirely out of context. He prefaced his “neutrality” statement with some pretty intelligent statements that I agree with. It is, as he said, probably one of the toughest deals to make, that a lasting peace agreement may not be possible, but said he’d give it “one hell of a shot”; one of the most complete and insightful answers I’ve heard him give to a question.

His statement that he’s neutral was in response to Scarborough’s question as to who’s to blame for the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Given that the role of the president would be that of a mediator, to answer definitively as to who’s to blame, would destroy any negotiations before they begin.

I happen to agree with him that it’s not possible and I do think the Palestinians and their “leadership” are to blame, but then I’m not the mediator.

Levin has really gone over the edge. He outright lies and doesn’t bat an eye over it any more. BOUGHT and paid for.

Tea Party Patriots running a scam for Cruz with help of Talk Radio!

Now, to be fair to Mark Levin, it might all be about ‘love’ and his fiance’s ties to Ted Cruz. After all, he certainly wouldn’t be the first man to throw out his ethics for ‘love’.

The Coyote
There once was a coyote who lived near the railroad tracks. One day he got too close and the train ran over his tail, cutting off the tip of it. It made him SO angry, that he turned and tried to bite the wheel of the train and it cut off his head!
The moral of the story is, NEVER lose your head over a little piece of tail!

Which Levin has never done.

Do you ever post anything that is factual ???

Well, I am glad you asked. Israel is going to welcome the Anti-Christ as their Messiah, until he goes into the rebuilt Temple and declares that he is God. Then the Israelis will realize that they have been deceived and head for the desert. So it is reasonable that in the run up to Daniel’s Seventh Week, they would side with the Satanic New World Order cabal that will form the base (Al Qaeda in Arabic) of the Anti-Christ’s power.

"I don't want to get into it"

Now there's some leadership!

Maybe he could just sue the Israelis and Palestinians.

Yes outing. You are smearing one of America's premier Conservative minds.

Are you on drugs?
Have you NOT seen Chumps past endorsements of Hillary, Pelosi, Reid, Obama?
Is Chump the only one you give pass to because Chump endorsed democRATs, where Levin endorsed a Republican?


Are you a troll from DU?
Do all Chump supporters have mule blinds on?

There is not enough money in this world to buy Mark Levin.

He is as straight as they come, unlike Hannity, Savage, etc.

If Hillary wins, it will be partial funded by donations from Donald Chump's past campaign donations.

I did. If you can’t take sides on this issue you are a liberal.

You ‘Christian’ bigots are the worst!

http://spectator.org/articles/64930/did-bibi-netanyahu-diss-donald-trump

The last sentence of Netanyahu’s statement signaled an understanding of Trump’s position. He too was coming under opprobrium for putting his country’s interests first.

Neither Netanyahu nor Trump is a man to stand on ceremony. Each is the sort of person to pick up a phone and call the other to discuss next steps in a sticky situation. Those who read Netanyahu’s statement as dissing Trump are either committing a sciolism or being intentionally nasty.

Untrue.
Trump said he wouldn’t go because it’s an election year.

Good for Trump. Hopefully, he’ll kick the neo-con warmongers out of the republican party, and send them back to the democrats postage due.

You do know that his daughter is an orthodox jew, don’t you? Her husband is one and she converted at the time of her marriage.

I think it’s pretty clear whom he’ll support.
