Former president Donald Trump said he supports increasing U.S. military aid to Israel for the war in Gaza and said that Jerusalem “cannot even think about losing” the fight.
In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon on Saturday, Trump also said he has a “very good relationship” with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—whom Trump had criticized in a recent speech—and had cordial words for Vice President Mike Pence who had dropped out of the race just hours earlier.
“I think it’s too bad that it turned out that way for Mike. I think he’s a good man with a bad moment,” said Trump, referring to Pence’s decision to certify the 2020 election for President Joe Biden, a move that severed the relationship between the two Republicans.
“We had almost four good years together, almost. The way it ended at the end was too bad,” added Trump.
Trump blamed Biden for the anti-Semitic rallies spreading across the United States, saying he has “never seen anything like it, the hatred.”
“This is not something that three years ago, when I was running things, this is not something that existed. But it exists today. And it’s got to stop,” he said.
Trump said he would support expelling Democratic representatives Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) from Congress for voting against a resolution condemning Hamas. He said the criticism of Israel from congressional Democrats was a bad sign for pro-Israel lobbying groups.
“In terms of lobbying for Congress, Israel is number one for years,” said Trump. “And now you look at the way they’re treated by Tlaib and AOC-plus-three, you know … it’s amazing the way they’re being treated. They’re being treated very, very badly.”…
Trump supports military aid for Israel, condemns ‘anti-Semitic rallies spreading across the United States’
Trump rightly states that Jerusalem “cannot even think about losing” the present war. As the pro-Palestinian lobby and their useful idiots call for a ceasefire, if Israel stopped its war with Hamas now, it would mean the annihilation of Israel, given the Hamas Charter and the goal of Hizballah, Iran and every regional jihadist group — as well as of the Palestinian Authority — which is to obliterate Israel from the river to the sea.

This time, he should have a Foreign Policy team that totally isolates Qatar & Turkey, gets Egypt & Jordan to tone down their anti-Israel rhetoric, simultaneously cracks down on both Iran & Turkey in terms of military sanctions – cripple both their militaries – and get different Arab countries to absorb the Palestinian polulation in various countries, w/ full citizenship & everything else

The two best US Presidents in the last 40+ years were Pres. Reagan and Pres. Trump.
They were both ideal for the time periods that they had served.
And we desperately need Pres. Trump back in 2024.
Desperately…
