runner,
If you think that liar Trump is a breath of fresh air, you've obviously inhaled so much hydrogen sulphide that it's knocked out your ability to detect it!

Yes, the God of Israel will always win in the end, but don't forget that He often temporarily withdrew His support for the nation of Israel when they did evil.
The nation of Israel does not deserve uncritical support.

Israel's conquest of the Golan Heights defied international law. Syria, unlike Jordan and Egypt, wanted to avoid a war, but Israel invaded it anyway. Israel has no legal basis for the occupation of the Golan Heights, and David Singer's Trump-like revisionism devastates his own credibility.

"Syria, unlike Jordan and Egypt, wanted to avoid a war, but Israel invaded it anyway. "

Syria did not go full throttle into attacking Israel, that is true. But they did shell northern Israel from Golan, sent aircraft into Israel to attack settlements in Galilee. They also attacked and tried to capture various water plants in northern Israel. They were clearly preparing to take advantage of the situation if the initial reports of Egyptian victories were true.

All this while Israel was busy fighting Egypt and Jordan.

A strange way to indicate you "wanted to avoid war".

I guess you need a good strong westerly to be able to feel the effects of that from where you are in Australia, but I’m willing to believe it could well be true.

I’m pretty sure you heard he claims his father was born in Germany. In fact, he wasn’t. It was his grandfather who was born in Germany who, like many of his fellow compatriots at the time, brought some of his favourite plants and vegetables with him when he migrated to the US.

Among them was the much-appreciated German red garlic noted for its medicinal properties for blood pressure and arterial disease. As Donald seems to have fond memories of his grandfather, he may have inherited his taste for that delicious red garlic that they eat raw.

Better keep your distance, Runner. Here are the references :

Oh Banjo if Trump wants to identify as German whose to say he isn't. I mean Pocahontas is about 1/1000th Indian which has certainly got her lots of Indian privileged positions. I could not care for this ridiculous identity politics. Trump however has put America first by calling out the gw fraudsters in Paris, saved America from another Clinton, backs Israel against terrorist, has drained some of the swamp, defunded the murderous planned parenthood, exposed the lying left media. And you are worried about his father/grandfather being German! Give us a break. Sure it would be nice if he told the truth all the time but name one pollie that does.

Hey Aiden,
"David Singer's Trump-like revisionism devastates his own credibility."

You're looking at it the wrong way.
The people he may lose credibility with don't matter to him.
He gains credibility from those who share and wish to advance his agenda.

"Trump inevitably focuses his attention on Judea and Samaria, the UN's falsely-designated 'Occupied Palestinian Territories'"

Yes it's inevitable David, but only because Netanyahu has promised to annex the West Bank if re-elected.

David wants to paint a narrative where 'useless idiots' are lead to believe that informed leaders and decision makers of nations stand against Israel, not because they don't recognise Israels claims, but because of 'Endemic Jew Hatred'.

It makes sense to me now why Netanyahu was recently asking it's 'friend countries' to include 'opposition to Zionism' as being 'Anti-Semitic' to shut down debate in the issue in western nations.

- Because Trump has recognised Golan Heights and Netanyahu has promised to annex the West Bank if re-elected -

It occurred to me that Israel previously could only object to speech if it was against 'race' or 'religion'; and there was nothing to shut down reasonable criticism of government policies in our countries.
Including 'Anti-Zionism' as 'Anti-Semitic' is actually shutting down our speech in preparation of a coming Israeli policy.

- They're shutting down our speech now so there's less pushback of people speaking against them internationally when they do annex the West Bank.

I hope everyone realises now that ALL THESE YEARS PAST,
When arguments ensued and people said that Israel didn't care about the 2 State Solution and just wanted to take more land;

- Well the truth is now laid bare for all to see -

Also, with a move like this it looks obvious Israel WAS the main party behind the Syrian war now.

The tried to get rid of Assad but couldn't.
They still want the Golan Heights; obviously something they expected to get out of Assad's removal.

(Don't expect great news coverage on this topic on Fox)

If any evil power wanted to unite Sunni (Saudi, etc) and Shia (Iran, Iraq, etc.) in furious opposition to Israel, they couldn't do much better than to come up with this notion. On top of Trump pulling all US troops out of Syria, and probably out of all of the Middle East, unless, Israel has some sort of secret weapon, I can't see this ending well for them.

I'm all for a two-state solution but Israeli occupation of areas of the West Bank have complicated that proposal, hard as it was to implement anyway. So while Hamas and Islamist terrorists are clamouring to push Israel into the sea, Israel and Trump are clamouring to push the Palestinians into the desert ?

Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber. Maybe I'm getting too old but I'm getting to the point where I don't really care what happens in the Middle East. Just let me know how it turns out in, say, ten years, if I'm still here.
