1. Oh, the irony.

Schaden Freud?

[hlthe2b]

5. Isn't that the truth... First Cheney then Bibi. Who is next to castigate Trump for his comment...

Hitler from the grave?

[ejbr]

10. +1 n/t

[livetohike]

2. More world leaders need to speak up. Whatever it takes to knock this fool

out of the race.

[Surya Gayatri]

3. But, DON'T knock him out before he's done enough damage

to ensure that the GOP will never recover.

[livetohike]

4. Good point, but look at all the rest of the GOP idiots waiting their turn.

What a mess. We thought it couldn't get worse than their 2012 line up!

[hlthe2b]

6. Indeed... Cruz is not any better, for sure. And the rest?

uggh.

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. God, I love this!

Thanks for posting!

8. He's postponing it until after he becomes President

[Eugene]

9. What's the matter, Donald? Can't meet with someone who disagrees with you?

You're absolutely right about how far T.rump has gone out on a limb, leftynyc.
Just as important, The Donald lacks the temperament to be a national leader.

[malthaussen]

11. That needs a "Not the Onion" tag, when you think of it.

Who'd a thunk that the Donald would be too extreme even for Bibi?

16. I swear when I first saw

it, I immediately went to find a second source. It sounded so unbelievable.

[Scootaloo]

12. Positioning by Bibi, I think

'Cause... well... Israel likes to prevent entry by Muslims too. And Bibi's probably MORE extreme than Trump in most relevant regards.

But somewhere in that ice cream-filled head of his, Netanyahu understands that Trump ain't going to be the next president. So he's jumping onto the side opposite Trump, even if it's blatantly hypocritical.

[LeftishBrit]

13. If you are too RW and Islamophobic for Netanyahu, Cheney and our very own dear Farage...

you are pretty far out there!

[R Merm]

14. Trump planned on visiting the Temple Mound

The anger, and reaction that would have caused would have been devastating. Not having him there is the right move.

[leftynyc]

17. A visit of any American politician

to the Temple Mount (who wasn't a Muslim) would have been a lot of trouble. Only Muslims are allowed to pray there - Christians and Jews are forbidden to pray on the Mount.

[SummerSnow]

15. Wonder if he wills end BIbi a nasty tweet

and I bet behind closed doors he is saying nasty things about Bibi that i won't mention here

[leftynyc]

18. I would love to be at the table

of his new son in law (an Orthodox Jew) and his parents to hear the discussion on this.

[SummerSnow]

25. Oh yeah, he would say it but then say to his son-in-law..

" not you and your family, you're' lovely people"

[leftynyc]

26. Definitely

I was more talking about what THEY would say to HIM. I have no idea what their history is but I can tell you I, and many other Jews, hear words like "that group is a problem", "we have to keep them out", we have to throw them out" and chills go up our spines. A few short decades ago, the same things were being said about us.

[lark]

19. When you are too extreme for the "little murderer",

you are certainly at the very extreme fringe. Indeed, Trump's so far right he's off the planet.

[Purveyor]

20. And he'll get another bump up in the polls... eom

[flamingdem]

21. Waiting for Trump's anti-Israel mini rant

Let's hope so, but of course then his numbers will go up again.

[GOLGO 13]

22. When the Israeli Superman says your being too harsh on Muslims...

You might have taken it a bit too far. So please ignore him TRUMP. Stay the course!

[question everything]

23. Trump was first cheered, than booed by the Republican Jewish meeting last week

Was cheered when he questioned Obama's "origin" and then booed when he questioned Israeli's commitment to peace, also when he said that the "Jews could not buy him.."

I suspect that this event was a factor, too.

[leftynyc]

24. I would think anyone

would boo the suggestion that Jews are looking to buy people. It feeds right into some ugly stereotypes.

[GOLGO 13]

27. "he said that the "Jews could not buy him.."

That must have been some shit when they heard that one. Trump is like a gift from God.
