STERLING, Va. (AP) — Donald Trump says that if he's elected president, he'll know within six months whether he can achieve an elusive peace accord between Israelis and Palestinians, one of the world's most vexing challenges. But the Republican presidential candidate says he has doubts about each side's commitment to the peace process. "I have a real question as to whether or not both sides want to make it," Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. The Republican front-runner said his concerns are greater regarding "one side in particular." While Trump wouldn't say whether he was referring to the Israelis or the Palestinians, he said the chances for a lasting peace rest with Israel. "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. "They may not be, and I understand that, and I'm OK with that. But then you're just not going to have a deal." "If I win, I'll let you know six months from the time I take office," he added. Trump stuck by his comments Thursday while speaking in Washington before the Republican Jewish Coalition, reiterating that he doesn't know "if Israel has the commitment" to reach a peace deal. He was loudly booed when he refused to say whether he supports Israel's position that Jerusalem is its undivided capital. One of Trump's rivals for the GOP nomination, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, said at the same forum that those calling for more sacrifices from Israel "are dead wrong, and they don't understand the enduring bond between Israel and America." Poster Comment: What does Marco Rubio know about making any kind of deal that doesn't involve stabbing America in it's back?? Fuck that little bastard, he needs to go back to Cuba.....

That is key, and neither will ever, ever want it. Enmity to the death of them all, is what they believe and practice. We cannot change it. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Did Trump by any chance say why what happens between Israel and Palestine is any of an amerikan president's business? Something is radically wrong. All these people talk about is what goes on in other countries. OK, HALF of it is, and that is still 100% TOO MUCH from anything I can find in the prexy's job description. If he gets elected, he's going to consider himself president of the Middle East as well -- have I got it right?
It started before we were born and the feuding will continue after we are gone, unless the whole damn ME gets blown up sooner than later.

What I took away is that he will make an attempt to broker a deal and if not successful he will wash his hands of it. That pisses off the Zionists and their neo-coen bootlickers like Marco Rubio. Being booed by the cabalists and their gentile handmaidens is good karma!!

It's all so bogus; what's he gonna do? have another pointless Camp David meeting? Let's stop kidding ourselves that those creatures will ever know peace.

It's part-and-parcel of being POTUS: they all take a swing at that unholy mess. It's like tourists kissing the Blarney Stone!

As you know, it's spelled out in the Bible that there will be enmity forever. It's not bs or bogus, it's the truth, forever and ever. Take it to the bank.
