Pompeo Says Israeli Settlements are Not Illegal

November 18, 2019, 3:48 pm 4 Comments

A totally different attitude than the Obama administration. Were Hillary Clinton elected president, Israel would be under extraordinary pressure over its settlements, as it was during the final days of Barack Obama. And if a Democrat is elected in 2020, particularly Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, then whether you are waiting for the Messiah’s first or second coming, you’d better hope it happens soon, because

Trump Supports Israel, Gets Accused of Being a Nazi and Thinking He is the Messiah

August 21, 2019, 1:07 pm 3 Comments

It’s all so deeply ironic. The best friend Israel has ever had in the Oval Office, surely much better than Barack Obama, is routinely called a Nazi. Apparently Jewish Democrats would rather have Obama pressuring Israel into a “peace deal” that would lead to its destruction. People are treating this tweet Wednesday as if President Trump himself is claiming to be the messiah. All he

Bernie Sanders: Israel Run by a “Right Wing . . . Racist Government”

So therefore, ergo, the Israelis who just elected him are a bunch of racists as well. The Israelis are surrounded by people who do not merely want their own state, but who want to destroy Israel. That’s why they have, now five times, voted in a man, Benuamin Netanyahu, with a sober view of the situation. Incredible to me as a Jew that the most

Trump: Democrats are the “Anti-Jewish” Party

This is going to be such a great campaign issue for President Trump. Democratic totally walked into this by not understanding they could never get an exclusively pro-Jewish or pro-Israel resolution through Congress. Some of them truly don’t understand their own caucus. From the Washington Examiner: President Trump accused Democrats of being the “anti-Jewish party” after the House passed a broad resolution that failed to

Media Say Cuba Embassy Opening is “Historic;” Jerusalem is “Controversial”

This is just a great video contrasting the media’s treatment of Barack Obama’s decision to open a U.S. embassy in the brutal totalitarian dictatorship with Cuba and President Trump’s opening of an embassy in Jerusalem. As you might have guessed, nobody thinks it’s a big deal to grant this concession to the Cuba tyrants, who as far as I’ve seen have changed their behavior very

Poll: Israeli Jews Think Trump is Just Great

Fifty-nine percent of Jewish Israelis have a favorable opinion of President Trump, about 20 points higher than the positive reviews given Trump by Americans, according to a new Unversity of Maryland poll. The survey, which was described by the pollster in Politico, found that 70 percent of Orthodox Israeli Jews back Trump, but even 45 percent of secular Jewish Israelis support him while only 30

Abbas: Jews Brought the Holocaust on Themselves

Well, if Jared Kushner is going to bring make peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, this is what he will have to deal with. No doubt such views are commonly held among Palestinians if their leader express then openly. From the Times of Israel: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday said that the Holocaust was not caused by anti-Semitism, but by the “social

Netanyahu: Trump Embassy Move Will Be Remembered By Jews “Throughout the Ages”

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Monday compared President Trump’s actions toward Israel to those of British Lord Balfour and Harry S. Truman, who played key roles in establishing the state of Israel, saying that moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would be remembered by Jews “throughout the ages.” He said the U.S. Israeli alliance has never been stronger, at least in the past 40 years. Netanyahu

Nikki Haley Suggests Abbas lacks “Courage and Will” to Seek Peace

Wow. What a difference an administration makes. From the Obama administration efforts under former UN Ambassador Samantha Power to placate the Palestinians and attack the Israelis, we now have a UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, who minces no words and has no fear about calling out the Palestinians for their double-dealing and lack of seriousness about peace. Apparently, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas made some kind

Video || Pence Warmly Welcomed In Israel, which Knows Who Its Friends Are

January 24, 2018, 10:33 am 3 Comments

I’ve said this many times before, but it’s well worth repeating. It is galling that so many of my fellow Jews who say that one of the most important issues to them is the survival of Israel nevertheless disdain Republicans, who have for half a century have been Israel’s most reliable itisupporters. Republicans usually lack the adherence to the moral relativism of Democrats and understand

Video || Trump and His Family Celebrate Hanukkah

“The miracle of Hanukkah is the miracle of Israel.” Of course, most of my fellow Jews oppose him, and many despise him. But Donald Trump is the first president of the United States who has a significant portion of his family that is Jewish and who has a love and respect for Israel in his heart.
