One of the most obvious things that one can see clearly in the Trump/Kushner regime is how prominent the role of Israel is. From the 36 year old Chief Advisor to Trump, Jared Kushner (a man with no experience in such a role) to the various other positions, we can see how things will play out between America and Israel. Of course, if one paid even a little bit of attention during the Presidential election and pre-election, one saw all the flattery that was shown towards Israel by the various candidates, including Trump and Hillary. But Trump's affection towards Israel goes a step further than any recent US president. He and his Vice President, Pence, have publicly stated many times how much they support Israel. Let's just see a few examples of their support of Israel:
Trump's comments and tweets:
So the $38 billion in military aid given to Israel in the year 2016 alone is not being loyal?
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/09/14/united-states-military-aid-israel/90358564/
How much more “aid” do we need to give to Israel to show them our loyalty and support?
How can America claim to be an objective party when it comes to the so-called "peace" process between the Israelis and Palestinians?
Here we have one of Trump's top advisers, Steve Bannon, saying how he is pro-Israel and anti-Semitic.

I wonder what percentage of Israelis are considered to be Semitic.
Here is Trump's pick for ambassador to Israel. Please look up David Friedman, the new Israel ambassador. This will give you an idea of what the new policy in the Middle East might look like – Israel first.
This guy supports more settlements, moving the embassy to Jerusalem and the annexation of the West Bank by Israel.

Some comments by Netanyahu regarding Trump:
Netanyahu: “President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea “
Here we have Netanyahu praising Trump on the topic of building barriers to keep human beings out. If one reads the sentence carefully, it even sounds very similar to how Trump talks. How interesting.
Some more comments after Trump won:
“We will work together to advance security, stability and peace in our region ...”
“The bond between the US and Israel is based on shared values, shared interests and a shared future. I am sure that president-elect Trump and I will continue to strengthen the unique alliance between Israel and the U.S. and we will bring them to ever greater heights..."
Yes, I bet Trump and his team full of Israel supporters, including a hardline neocon Israeli ambassador, will definitely strengthen Israel.
Naftali Bennett, Israel's Education Minister has some of these comments:
Education Minister Naftali Bennett picked up on the Republican’s previous remarks rejecting the notion of a two-state solution, saying Trump’s victory provided “an opportunity” to do away with it altogether.
“Trump’s victory is an opportunity for Israel to immediately retract the notion of a Palestinian state in the center of the country, which would hurt our security and just cause,” Bennett said in a statement.
“This is the position of the president-elect, as written in his platform, and it should be our policy, plain and simple,” he said. “The era of a Palestinian state is over. We are sure the special relationship between the United States and Israel will continue, and even grow stronger.”
Yes, of course the Palestinian state is over. And yes, America and its new owners (same as the old owners) will of course side heavily with Israel and make life even more miserable for the Palestinians.
Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon (Kulanu), said that “Israel, as the only democracy in the Middle East, salutes the U.S., the oldest democracy in the world, on a democratic election process that expresses the will of the voter.
“We look forward to working jointly with the new American government to strengthen the strategic and economic ties between our countries.”
Yes, Democracy. A Democracy that constantly violates human life and human dignity.
By the way, this is straight from Breitbart so I'm not sure if that is mainstream news or not (or even its validity).

Stephen Miller, top Trump advisor.
Here we have a 31 year old “adviser” to Trump. A so-called right wing Jew who has a certain ideology about immigrants and people of certain backgrounds. This guy worked with Jeff Sessions, another person who has certain views about certain people. I'm assuming many of you know what I mean by that. It tells you that people of a similar ideology are working together. It has been reported that this recent Muslim ban is the work of Miller and Bannon. Of course, given their pro-Israel nature, one wouldn't be surprised by this.

Jared Kushner, top Trump advisor
Some history about Kushner from a very personal source. I don't know the validity of this but the article doesn't seem out of line. Based on other information, it makes sense in some ways. But please come to your own conclusions:
http://mondoweiss.net/2017/01/jared-kushner-israel/
Of course we have probably the chief person behind Trump in every way possible. Not only is he Trump's son in law, he is probably one of the youngest persons to hold such a high position in power with no experience at all in that regard. Besides being in a rich family and supposedly being competent in business dealings, I wonder what other thing he has done to make him hold such a position. One thing we do know is that Trump has said in a NY Times article that Kushner will be his “peace” broker in the Middle East (presumably between Israel and the Palestinians). He says “He knows the region, knows the people, knows the players.”
Here is a mainstream news outlet that I believe many people “trust.” This outlet claims that Mr. Kushner is not very well known despite what Trump says about his son in law.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/23/...l-player-on-israel-is-little-known-there.html
The question is, in what world Mr. Kushner a fair and honest “peace” broker? He is a Orthodox Jew who has donated a lot of money to Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The land that is in heavy dispute. Just think about that for a second. We have a man in a top position who is called a peace broker but who has clearly made it known his intentions and which he leans in the Israel-Palestine conflict. But of course, based on Trump's history and comments, most can tell that a very heavy Israel bias will exist – and that is even without the influence exerted by all the Zionists in Trump's administration, including some of his very closest advisers.
Here are some mainstream and non-mainstream articles about Mr. Kushner's settlement support:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...d324840106c_story.html?utm_term=.54b44d4e6adb
http://www.mintpressnews.com/trumps-son-in-law-funds-israeli-settlement-projects/222904/
Of course we have Mr. Kushner fine tuning Trump's words and policies towards the Israel lobby, known as AIPAC:
http://www.haaretz.com/world-news/u-s-election-2016/1.712750
AIPAC is a powerful group that lobbies American politicians towards favorable policies towards Israel.
Another non-mainstream article. Please read it first before jumping to conclusions. I've tried to list mostly mainstream media articles here because I know many people only trust them. But let's also try to keep an open mind about lesser known outlets.
http://www.carbonated.tv/news/trump-soninlaw-jared-kushner-and-the-israeli-connection
This post is not a attack on anyone or any group of people. It is just to show that the people who are called our leaders need to be looked at objectively. There is a lot of turmoil and chaos going on in our world right now. Trump is saying a lot of things and doing a lot of things. He is saying things about Iran (a country that has nowhere near the bloody record of Israel) and trying to ban certain people. We all should look carefully at the entire picture before jumping aboard the hate wagon.
Please everyone: we don't need any more wars in this world. Let's all try to work together. The more we ban people, the more we verbally abuse other countries, the more we favor certain people over another people, the more hatred and distrust we create.
We should all stand up and say no to war! I know that Trump and his team are pushing hard to create further division, further hate, and further chaos but we should know where he is coming from. There is a certain agenda at play and before things get out of control, we should come to our senses.
Trump's comments and tweets:
- “I'm the best thing that could happen to Israel”
- “We cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the U.S., but not anymore. The beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now this (U.N.)! Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!”
- “We love Israel. We will fight for Israel 100 percent, 1,000 percent. It will be there forever.”
- “I will be very good to Israel. People know that. I have so many friends from Israel. I have won so many awards from Israel. I was even the grand marshal for the Israeli Day Parade a few years ago. So I will back Israel.”
- “Well, I just see what is happening and I am so saddened by this Iran deal. It’s one of the worst deals I’ve ever seen under any circumstances, any deal, not just deals between nations. I think it’s a tremendous liability to Israel. I think it’s going to actually lead to nuclear proliferation and it’s going to cause a lot of problems. I will be very good to Israel. People know that. I have so many friends from Israel. I have won so many awards from Israel. I was even the grand marshal for the Israeli Day Parade a few years ago. So I will back Israel. We have a president that I think is the worst thing that has ever happened to Israel. But I will be backing it very strongly. They’re our best ally. They’re our best ally in the Middle East. They’ve really been loyal to us. We have not been loyal to them.”
So the $38 billion in military aid given to Israel in the year 2016 alone is not being loyal?
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/09/14/united-states-military-aid-israel/90358564/
How much more “aid” do we need to give to Israel to show them our loyalty and support?
