12. Key for US-Israel relationship? Elect Republicans

Many say Obama's goal was to make Israel a partisan issue. republicans for, democrats against. He succeeded. 
For those who understand Obama's Iran deal as catastrophic, fascinating that 20 years of Aipac lobbying, and coddling Democrats did NOTHING to stop the deal. Iran deal was virtually top of the agenda at every Aipac conference I attended for a decade, and it did nothing except expose Aipac as paper tiger, sadly. Electing Trump is the key to everything positive for Israel and the end to jihadist appeasement. Bibi is thrilled. Iran is scared. Trump's son-in-law Kushner's parents are big donors to Judea/Samaria settlements. Trump is surrounding himself with advisors and cabinet guys VERY pro israel. Democrats have been exposed, and now naming Hamas' man in Congress, Keith Ellison, head of DNC, (and backed by the Jewish anti-Israel group JStreet) seals the proof. Want to help Israel? Better to put your time in electing Republicans. Hillary would have been a nightmare for Israel. Continuing to support Democrats, (42/45 Dem senators supported genocidal iran deal) is an ANTI-Israel act. https://www.facebook.com/RpblcJew/videos/10154212623370837/

11. In the wake of the US presidential election BDS supporters joined far left anti-Trump protestors, while a BDS supporter became the leading candidate to head the Democratic National Committee. In academia the Middle East Studies Association proposed redefining itself as a political organization in order to support future BDS resolutions, while Federal legislation to limit Israel boycotts was introduced. pme.org/boycotts-divestments-sanctions-bds/spme-boycotts-divestments-and-sanctions-bds-monitor/bds-supporters-join-post-election-anti-trump-protests-us-congress-mulls-anti-bds-legislation-middle-east-studies-association-proposes-changing-bylaws-favor-bds/23481/

9. Former Israel Ambassador to US says Bibi should urge Trump to let Israel annex Golan.
P.M. Netanyahu should use his upcoming meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump to pursue formal US recognition of Israeli sovereignty in the Golan Heights, Deputy Minister for Diplomacy Michael Oren (Kulanu) told Bloomberg on Wednesday.

Israel took the Golan Heights during the 1967 Six Day War, and in 1981 extended Israeli law to the region, thereby de facto annexing it. The US has not recognized the Golan as Israeli territory, holding that its status should be determined in negotiations between Israel and Syria

8. Think this has ever happened before with any other president elect? "Director of the Mossad, Yossi Cohen, clandestinely visited the United States to meet with President-elect Donald Trump’s staff and brief them on pressing security matters including the Iranian nuclear deal, the Syrian civil war, terror threats and the Palestinian issue. The security delegation was organized by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and was led by National Security Council head Yaakov Nagel. The Israeli ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer was also present during meetings. " Clandestine? If Mossad wanted to visit unpublicized, they would have.
7. From Eitan
You gotta love the NY Times with it's sensationalist language ("Hard-Liner"...hahaha)
JStreet and AIPAC will be looking for their safe spaces  now that the "real" pro-Israel movement has executed the Trifecta:
1) Immediately prior to its July Convention, the GOP Platform Committee upgraded its Israel policy substantially by strenthening the Jerusalem Embassy language and, more importantly, eliminating references to the unrealistic and harmful "two-state solution", a phrase that was largely created during the dreaded Oslo accords era. (Special thanks to SC State Rep. and "brother" Alan Clemmons for making this happen.)
Finally, the clearly pro-Israel party has a platform that reflects its affinity for the Jewish Nation-State, and is in sharp contrast to the Democratic Party's platform...I wonder what Keith Ellison has in mind for this issue?
After Obama is out of office, we will no longer have to listen to PM Netanyahu pretend to go along with this concept that he personally and openly opposed a decade ago as a Likud party leader, but that he was pressured to accept following Obama's coronation...The new language is a direct recognition that the thriving Jewish communites in East Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria are part of biblical, historical and geopolitical Israel, and not of the make-believe nation of Palestine that exists primaryily in the minds of misinformed liberals.
2) Americans finally elected a Republican, VERY pro-Israel President with strong personal Jewish ties right in his own family
3) Said President has appointed as Ambassador to Israel an observant Jew who loves the Communities mentioned in #1 above as well as the need to relocate the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, as had been prescribed in the bipartisan Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995.
Folks, it's hard to imagine any better scenario than this for the pro-Israel Community...
Yet, in spite of it all, an AIPAC email solicitation sent last week listed as the second of the organization's four priorities a committment to working toward a two-state solution. Where are they getting their information? Perhaps an imaginary Clinton Administration they so longed for???
On a related note, preventing a nuclear Iran was moved back to #3.

6. Trump scares UN into scuttling anti Israel resolution on settlements. Not yet prez and amazing already. Now we'll see if mamzer obama ignores Trump and screws Israel on way out with not vetoing Palestinian resolution in Security Council. Lines are being drawn and we are seeing many Jewish organizations place their insane liberalism above Israel's welfare by knee jerk attacks on Trump.

Why Donald Trump Could Be the Most Pro-Israel President in a Generation

---

BY JASON HOWERTON

A MONTH AGO

There is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding what exactly a Trump administration will look like, but one thing is not up for debate: Donald Trump could be the most pro-Israel commander in chief in modern history.

Jewish state has long held a “special relationship” with the United States, however that relationship has been put under immense strain by the Obama administration's controversial policies toward Israel. The outgoing administration has regularly clashed with the leaders of the Jewish State, demanding territorial concessions to the Hamas-led Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, bluntly snubbing Netanyahu in the White House, brokering the deeply unpopular Iran Nuclear Deal and refusing to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, a huge victory for the Palestinian State which lays claim to the Holy City.  The policies of the Obama administration have led scholars to ask if Israel-US relations have reached a new low?

Assuming the Trump Administration intends to follow through on his campaign rhetoric toward the Jewish State, the President-elect has positioned himself to reverse the Obama chilling effect and become perhaps the most staunchly pro-Israel President in the history of the White House.

Here are a few concrete reasons why:

The highest ranking members of the right-leaning Israeli Government are thrilled by Trump's victory

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is clearly a fan of the Donald. He offered glowing words of praise for Trump and vowed to work closely with his administration after his stunning election victory over Hillary Clinton.

“President-elect Trump, my friend, congratulations on being elected president of the United States of America,” Netanyahu said. “You are a great friend of Israel. Over the years, you have expressed your support consistently, and I deeply appreciate it. I look forward to working with you to advance security, prosperity and peace.”

Other leaders in Israel reached out to welcome President Trump. According to Ynet:

President Reuven Rivlin also welcomed Trump’s victory. “I would like to congratulates the president-elect, Donald Trump, his family, and the American people as a whole, who have once again proven to the entire world the meaning of being the greatest democracy in the world.”
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat also praised praised Trump as a “devoted supporter of Jerusalem,” adding that he expected the new administration to move the US embassy to the capital. “I am full of hope for your support for our activities for building in and developing Jerusalem for all her residents, and I invite you to visit the capital of Israel,” Barkat wrote. On a number of occasions, Trump has proposed moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem, even though the US has not recognized Israel's sovereignty over the eastern half of the city.

Donald Trump has indicated he would like to relocate the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in a historic and symbolic gesture in support of the Jewish nation.

The move would surely spark intense global controversy and anger among Palestinians.

Israel has claimed Jerusalem as its “eternal capital,” but Palestinians believe they are entitled to the eastern part of the holy city for their own capital. Israel’s claim to the land dates back to Biblical times and has been a point of contention between the Middle Eastern nations for decades.

According to the Guardian, Trump advisers say he will follow through on the promise soon after assuming the office.

Israeli government ministers and political figures are pushing the US president-elect, Donald Trump, to quickly fulfill his campaign promise to overturn decades of US foreign policy and recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv. Their calls came as one of Trump’s advisers on Israel and the Middle East, David Friedman, told the Jerusalem Post that Trump would follow through on his promise. ‘It was a campaign promise and there is every intention to keep it,” Friedman said. ‘We are going to see a very different relationship between America and Israel in a positive way.”

Trump could help expand Israel's West Bank Settlements

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Wednesday he wants Israel to strike a deal with President-elect Donald Trump that would permit the country to expand its settlements in the West Bank while also freezing building in some areas.

It would be a drastic change in U.S. policy under President Barack Obama, who criticized Israel over its West Bank settlement plan.

Just like east Jerusalem, Palestinians also want control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The land dispute has grown more complicated now than almost 600,000 Jews have settled in the historically Jewish areas of east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Trump's inner circle is full of staunch pro-Israel advocates

Donald Trump's inner circle is flush with influencers who are unapologetically pro-Israel. Many Jewish.

Trump has regularly praised his son-in-law Jared Kushner, an Orthodox Jew, for his management of his campaign during the election. Kushner, a strong pro-Israel advocate will certainly find himself with an outsized role in the Trump Administration and has already applied for a Top-Secret clearance with the government. Trump's daughter, Ivanka, converted to Judaism when she married Kushner.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani could become the most pro-Israel Secretary of State in U.S. history. He is reportedly being considered for the appointment in Trump's administration.

Giuliani visited Israel in March meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior government officials. He claimed the Israeli government wanted Trump to win the election.

Ambassador John Bolton, who is a staunch defender of the Israeli State and Trump supporter, is also rumored to get a heavy appointment from Trump in a national Security capacity. Additionally, Trump has said he plans to appoint Jason Greenblatt, an Orthodox Jew and Yeshiva University graduate, as one of his Israel advisers. Greenblatt has worked with Trump for 19 years as the president-elect's real estate lawyer.

Trump has vowed to be tough on Iran and “tear up” the Iran Nuclear Deal

President-elect Donald Trump has been an outspoken critic of the Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal, which he has called one of the “worst deals ever made by any country in history.”

Trump said the deal, which lifts some sanctions in exchange for a rollback in Iran's nuclear program, doesn't do enough to protect Israel from potential destruction. Trump has vowed to either renegotiate or kill the Iran nuke deal.

Earlier this year, the Republican even claimed Iran “is going to destroy Israel — unless I get elected.” With a President Trump, “Israel will be just fine,” he said.

Defeating ISIS

The Islamic State is a threat to safety around the globe — but that might be especially true for Israel. As long as ISIS and the violent ideology espoused by radical Islam exists, Israel remains a target.

Just this week, an ISIS attack on the Israeli national soccer team was thwarted by police in Kosovo.

While Trump certainly has his work cut out for him in the fight against ISIS, he is promising to be ruthless against the enemy.

The president-elect has vowed to pursue an “aggressive joint and coalition military operations to crush and destroy ISIS, international cooperation to cutoff their funding, expand intelligence sharing, and cyberwarfare to disrupt and disable their propaganda and recruiting.”

If Trump is able to cause serious damage to ISIS, it would directly weaken Israel's nearby enemies and bring stability to the volatile region.

In another major break from the Obama administration, Trump’s official platform identifies the “ideology of radical Islamic terrorism” as the enemy we are trying to defeat.

http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Benjamin-Netanyahu/Analysis-Trumps-ambassador-pick-is-cause-for-Netanyahu-to-celebrate-475606

Trump Announced his ambassador to Israel today, as David Friedman. Friedman is an Orthodox lawyer and writer on Arutz 7. Speaking at the Saban Forum in December, Friedman stunned liberal American Jews by saying the Trump administration would freeze out J Street, the left-leaning, pro-Israel lobby group based in Washington, D.C. In previous interviews, Friedman called the organization “far worse than kapos,” a highly insulting Yiddish word for Jews who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. Something tells me that Friedman won't be so kind on his advice about Fatah & Hamas either. Just a hunch

TRAITORS TO ISRAEL?

Many Jewish groups have danger of being understood as TRAITORS to Israel if they are not careful.
Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
Eleven Jewish organizations have hurt and embarrassed the President-elect and Azerbaijan – a friendly Muslim country with an excellent relationship with Israel and Azerbaijan’s local Jewish population who this week hosted Israeli PM Netanyahu– when those 11 organizations boycotted the Hanukkah party co-hosted by Azerbaijan and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. The party took place at the new Trump International Hotel in Washington DC on Wednesday evening (December 14). The 11 Boycotters Were: ADL, American Jewish Committee, HIAS, Union for Reform Judaism, Hadassah, Central Conference of American Rabbis, Americans for Peace Now, Ameinu, Workmen’s Circle, Jewish Women International, and National Council of Jewish Women. If you belong to any of these, let them know this is crazy. Best pro israel administration ever and they do this?
