Israelis find themselves rattled by an existential concern: What if President Trump’s tumultuous style of diplomacy has revealed that a cornerstone of their national identity is slipping away?

Until this week, the notion that a United States president could question the loyalty of Jewish voters, or that a U.S. official could publicly hold forth about the Jewish state as a rogue nation antithetical to American values, remained confined to the nightmares of Israel’s most apprehensive leaders.On Monday, at a news conference at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul, Reps.

In Israel and in the United States, the about-face was lambasted, including by some of Netanyahu’s staunchest allies. Former minister Dan Meridor, an elder of the Likud Party, said he only “hopes the Israeli-American relationship will recover from the very serious mistakes being made right now.”By failing to “stand up to our friends in the Trump administration,” Meridor said, the prime minister caused substantial harm to Israel’s image.

Ben-Dror Yemini, an author and frequent defender of Israel in the international arena, remarked that in Yediot Aharonot, Israel’s top-selling tabloid, in which he writes weekly, not a single columnist had come out in support of the ban.Unlike other countries, he said, Israel, with its specific regional security concerns, “needs the Democratic Party, which is the choice of the vast majority of Jews in the United States, and which will one day return to power.

Analysts were loath to concede that the crisis emanating from the congresswomen’s canceled trip — Tlaib declined a conditional offer by Israel to visit — could represent an inflection point in the unique 71-year American-Israeli relationship, but across the board, right-wing observers said they believed it marked a significant moment in a process that started before Trump came to office, and has accelerated during his term.

Bibi is like trump it’s all about him, he is putting all his chips in Trump and the evangelicals who believe Jews should convert to Christianity or they will go to hell

TVietor08 Because hard right is hard right, it always ends up supporting isolationism and division, its need to 'look tough' always supercedes ethics and morality. Israel having a hard right government is itself a disgrace.

GEE, YOU THINK SO?

Trump says Jewish people voting Democratic show 'lack of knowledge' or 'great disloyalty'Showing a fresh willingness to play politics along religious and racial lines, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that American Jewish people who vote for Democrats show “either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.” Should anyone be surprised. He is Trump the Troll. Racism equals ignorance. Ignorance doesn’t always equal racism. However, Donald Trump is both ignorant and a racist. America is so much better than Trump AmericaStrong True! The Dems left them a long time ago. I thought they woke to that with Obama's foreign policies. Repubs have moved to the right of center & Dems are hanging off a cliff to the far left.

Trump slams Jewish voters who support Democrats as 'disloyal'President Donald Trump on Tuesday told reporters that 'any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat' are either uninformed or show 'great disloyalty.' Trump made the comments after he was asked about Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's suggestion that the U.S. might want to reconsider how much it pays Israel in aid after she and Rep. Rashida Tlaib were barred from entering the country last week. Impeach. Just stop taking things out of context Trump knows his supporters are racist and bigoted. It’s all he really has except for help from the Russians hacking the vote again.
