Trump to Israel: Keep Building Settlements
Israel Today ^ | May 03, 2016 | Israel Today Staff

Posted on 05/06/2016 9:41:46 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said in an interview with the UK’s Daily Mail on Tuesday that Israel should continue building settlements in Judea and Samaria.

Trump told the newspaper that if elected president, he’d love to negotiate a genuine peace, “not a peace that lasts for two weeks and they start launching missiles again,” between Israel and the Palestinians.

In the meantime, regarding Jewish settlements in the territories claimed by the Palestinians, Trump said Israel should “keep moving forward.”

Trump took the opportunity to again lambast President Barack Obama’s treatment of the Jewish state.

“Look, missiles were launched into Israel, and Israel, I think, never was properly treated by our country. I mean, do you know what that is, how devastating that is?” asked the real estate mogul.

Trump went on to note that while he doesn’t know Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that well, “I think I’d have a very good relationship with him” as the next American president.

Is this before or after he morally equivocates with the Palestinians?

Trump promises to slash government spending.

Does that mean he will reduce the amount of aid that Israel currently receives?

No, probably it’s gonna be reduced in the Arab world where it’s multiples of what we give Israel. He said it is going to be based on the respect they show us and it needs to suit our purposes.
You want aid to Israel cut back?

Yes. Crush the conservatives! Can’t have freedom gaining a foothold. More government. Tax the wealthy. Share bathrooms with little girls.

No and I was happy to see the the aid package to Israel that has been proposed to Congress is the largest in history.

That is good news. Especially since in one year Obama just gave Iran more than we have given Israel...as long as it has existed.

Is it freedom to be a financial puppet?

Israel is almost screamingly socialist.

Excellent point, to assume something that hasn’t even happened?
