What do you think our response would be to Mexico if they were doing this crap to us? Mexico would have ceased to exist as a country around 1981.

So make Israeli responsible for the actions of those who wish to destroy Israel? With friends like that who need an enemy?

I would put Israel on notice. There is no way the Palestinians ever come to peace, if every time they start a war, they are saved by a cease fire the minute they start getting their asses handed to them.

So next time a flare up starts, if Israel starts to waffle when the usual suspects scream for a cease fire, the US says the opposite.

Crush them or become our enemy. I would hold Israel accountable for the Palestinian atrocities. Do that and you will get peace. Continue with the slow bleed policies that kill hundreds or thousands a year forever is insane.

These people only come to the peace table with a sword on their neck. That is how they have always been, and will ever be.

I find it more likely that Israel would be destroyed by following their advice, than that it will be destroyed by following Friedman's advice.

Fight back more against the terror rockets coming from Gaza, including drones & more surveillance and more Israeli policing. Stop asking them for Peace — just punish the guilty more for using violence. Kill or capture the would-be killers, preferably before they commit murder.

It's a bit too bad that the success of Israel's wall in reducing attacks hasn't been more discussed.

There will be some future Dem complaint against "Israel treats Palestinians poorly" — I sort of hope Trump replies "Compare with Arab treatment of Arabs in Syria — the Palestinians never had it as good as they have it."

It would be good to follow the development / NGO / semi-pro-terrorist funding trails.

I believe this answers the question I’ve been raising about the generals. These appointments are not business as usual; they indicate an aggressive stance; they are being made not to just put qualified and competent people in place; they appear to be part of an overall plan that doesn’t care if it invites conflict.

I won’t be commenting any further about this, not on this message board, and not after this appointment. Suffice to say, Trump, with Bannon, Kushner, et al, hiding in the background, led the voters of this country to believe one thing when in fact something else was in the offing. They didn’t lie about the program per se, they just neglected to spell out the means and ramifications to a credulous electorate. No need to link to it, but since Andrew Sullivan was mentioned in another post, his after-election piece, while emotionally over the top (as usual for him) pretty well nailed it.

1. He’s antisemitic

2. He’s too pro-Israel

Am I getting close?

I ask, why should anyone keep up with the din? And, who is raising the furor?
Answer is: the din and furor are from our political enemy. Not adversary, but enemy. The Left rediscovers our Constitution only when it suits them.

The Left will NEVER get used to it. They are real-life zombies. They just keep on a-coming.

Trump’s nominee selections show a savvy brilliance that is remarkable. As an opinion in the WaPo, I think it was, complained, he has not nominated intellectuals, lawyers, or academics.

Hallelujah!
