The UN’s ambulances used to carry suicide bombers to their targets in Israel. Why isn’t this organization sent packing? What a great piece of real estate for Trump to re-develop.

But Kerry said awhile back that there wasn't “any daylight” between him and Israel... whatever the heck that meant. So I guess that he is buddies with Israel so why turn on them now. /sarc

Because he is a Mohammedan-sympathizing ANTI-SEMITE.

(Which has been obvious from DAY 1 that he hit the media radar)

Obama broke with Israel because he’s a crypto-Muslim Taqiyya practicing POS!

erics.Definition: “Taqiyya is an Islamic juridical term whose shifting meaning relates to when a Muslim is allowed, under Sharia law, to lie.”

I bet one of the first things Trump does is to move the US embassy to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem.
