Donald Trump irks Jewish donors with comments on Mideast peace

Trump also drew a mix of criticism and laughter for evoking Jewish sterotypes during the forum, asking rhetorically at one point if there was anyone in the room who didn’t negotiate deals and referred to the audience as “business people” and “negotiators”.

So the man who is supposed to be Israel’s “partner for peace” has just said that all of Israel is illegitimate and that the Jewish state is an “occupation” of someone else’s land….

Trump began that hard labor last night at a fairground in northern Virginia. At least 102 Palestinians have been killed, including 67 said by Israel to be attackers. “A lot will have to do with Israel and whether or not Israel wants to make the deal – whether or not Israel’s willing to sacrifice certain things”, Trump said.

“When it started, they were skeptical, and you could feel the room warming to him”, noted conservative Gary Bauer told The Washington Post. My people say, Oh don’t say…

Trump, who has said he is so wealthy that he doesn’t need the help of donors like Adelson, said in an October 13 interview on Fox News, “I like Sheldon a lot. I will make clear that calling for the destruction of Israel is the same as calling for the death of Jews”.

“I think it’s okay to joke with your audience”, said Stewart Bolno of Philadelphia. Fundraising records show that supporters have handed over $4 million, enough to cover his presidential efforts in recent months. Just relax, okay? You’ll like me very much,”Trump said”.

The eyebrow raising comments kept coming, such as when Trump told the room that he’s a negotiator, “like you folks”. Ted Cruz of Texas have met with Netanyahu in Israel.

Two Palestinians attempted to stab an Israeli soldier and a pedestrian in separate attacks near Jewish settlements in the West Bank on Tuesday, authorities said, but both attackers were shot dead.

“Some in our own party – in the news today – have actually questioned Israel’s commitment to peace”, Florida Sen. He stood in front of a pro-Israel crowd and told them Israel was (at least partially) to blame for the failure to come to terms with the Palestinians. “If you’re going to make a deal, you could make a great deal, you can’t go in with the attitude we’re going to shove it down your – you gotta go in and get it and do it nicely so everyone is happy”.

“I believe that I can put both sides together”, he said, “but it will take six months”.

Trump seemed to revive his past claims questioning that President Obama was born in the USA and is a Christian.

Earlier in the morning Trump touted his health after a Politico report Thursday morning pointed out that he had called on other candidates to release their medical reports but had not released his own. “Look, we’re negotiators.” He repeatedly said he did not want money from the audience, only their support.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Presidential Forum in Washington, D.C., on December 3, 2015. “Hillary Clinton was tweeting about gun control while we learned that radicalized Islamic terrorists had been building pipe bombs”, Fiorina said. The two young, Cuban-American senators are also rising to neck-and-neck in the polls behind front-runner Trump. Meaning: these conservative Jews are against social conservatism. The retired neurosurgeon has long drawn questions about whether he has sufficient foreign policy experience to serve in the White House and recently took a trip to Jordan to burnish his credentials on the topic.
