Surprise, billionaires trying to sway public opinion.

"A single billionaire provided the lion's share of the money to the main Republican super-PAC set up to destroy Donald Trump.

Marlene Ricketts, the matriarch of the Ricketts family that owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team, contributed $3 million to the anti-Trump super-PAC "Our Principles PAC," which is being run by former Mitt Romney adviser Katie Packer...."

The Ricketts, if not Orthodox Jewish, certainly lean that way. Trump, correctly staying neutral on Israel and Palestine, is therefore a threat.

As I posted in a thread on ET (which I can't find anymore), while the Jews have every right for the hatred they feel over the atrocities that have been committed for an untold amount of time by both sides, at this point have to have a third party resolve a horrendous issue.

Everyone I talk to says I am naive since it is "impossible" to bargain with people that don't even believe you have a right to exist (See the video below for the truth). I say, that is even more reason to believe what I believe. If you are at an impasse, an intervention for reconciliation is necessary.

Land belongs to whoever can steal it. Look it up, it's all there in the Book (and we know who wrote the book.)

The peace plan for Israel is the same it has been ever since the Creation of Israel. "We will stop killing you when you stop killing us."

Lol. The moral of the story is, if you like your land, don't expect to get it back after you leave it for centuries.

the Israelites have been driven out of every land they tried to peacefully live in. Russia, Romania, Germany, Poland. They tried to get into UK and USA but the quota was already met. None of my family who didn't make it out were ever heard from again. So the leftovers ended up in Israel. And that is where we make our last stand. We will never be driven out again. Unless of course you can make us a better deal. We are after all business men.
 
Trump, Israel and the evangelical vote

"...One answer may be Israel.

Support for Israel is often mislabeled a "Jewish" issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jews make up less than 2 percent of the electorate, while 72 percent of the country (and 83 percent of Republicans) support Israel. Conservative Christians dominate this pro-Israel camp. In addition, unlike liberal (non-Orthodox) American Jews who typically rank Israel as a low-priority issue, these Christians perennially list Israel as one of their top two election issues.

Between daily terror, international BDS libels and American support for Iranian nukes, Israel is in trouble. And when it comes to Israel, Donald Trump does not stand where Evangelicals need him to be.

Marco Rubio has stated that as President: "Instead of pressuring Israel to make unreciprocated concessions, I will work with its Prime Minister on areas of mutual interest. I will finally move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. I will help ensure that Jerusalem remains the Jewish State's undivided and eternal capital. I will…help ensure Israel has defensible borders, including through its continued control of the Golan Heights."




Ted Cruz, who led the fight to restore commercial flights to Israel when the Obama Administration halted them during Israel's most recent war against Hamas terrorists, once walked off the stage at a gathering of anti-Israel Middle Eastern Christian groups announcing: "If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you." Last week, he introduced legislation to restore American recognition that the PLO/PA is a terrorist organization rather than a partner for peace, and shut down its Washington office.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, notoriously told the Republican Jewish Coalition that he wondered whether Israel was willing to make sacrifices for peace. Last week, he pitched himself as neutral in the fight between Israel and the terrorist organizations arrayed against it. Numerous pundits have noted that when it comes to Israel, Donald Trump sounds more like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton than he does like a Republican. In fact, on the Israel issue, Trump sounds positively PC.

Trump's suspicions about Muslim immigration may win him points with this key demographic, but his moral confusion about Israel should create an opening for other candidates. If Cruz and/or Rubio want to win the evangelical vote, they must convince those voters that their defense against the PC onslaught will be as strong as Trump's; and they must highlight their differences with Trump on the morality of supporting Israel at a time when so much is on the line."

As Ann Coulter noted, Trump is the only republican left who can be trusted not to get us involved in pointless wars to reshape the middle east. Rubio and Cruz are absolutely foaming at the mouth to do so, plus take on Russia if possible.

I question if sending more troops to get blown up in ill-conceived foreign adventures costing us trillions of dollars we don't have is as popular as they seem to think it is. While the Obama/Clinton foreign policy was disastrous, the last thing we need to do is go back to the even more disastrous Bush policy.

Saudi Arabia and Israel like to use the US military to do their dirty work for them. Their lobbying and money have bought them no shortage of advocates here who will support whatever they propose. Trump probably understands this better than most. I think he would steer a middle ground between Obama's open hostility to Israel and the Rubio/Cruz blank check approach. Hopefully he would look at what's best for us, which has become a novel approach.
 
"Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, isn't happy that a member of the prominent Ricketts family has bankrolled an effort to thwart his campaign. And he took to Twitter on Monday to warn the Chicago Cubs owners to "be careful."

The family is "secretly spending $'s against me," Trump wrote. "They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!"..."

But they are not trying to live peacefully in Israel.
