When even bibi thinks you've gone to far, perhaps it time to take a step back and think:

1. Good job, Israel

They have for the most part come out strongly against Trump's demagoguery.

If only the right in the US would do the same instead of making him the leading candidate for President among Republicans.

2. As if I needed another reason to

detest trump, he's making me agree with dick cheney. I don't feel sorry for the republicans, they created the tea party monster and now they're having to live with the monster terrorizing the villagers. I second your kudos for Israel's condemnation of trump.

3. Good

I'm waiting for someone here to spin this in an antisemitic or antiZionist or antiIsrael way as we have seen here recently with all the Mondoweiss bigoted articles posted here....

4. Well, I'm expecting

a lot of anti semitic nonsense will be on right wing boards - those supporting trump because he appeals to the basest part of their brains - fear. I never go to mondoweiss so I trust you to get that info here. This should be a interesting day and we are, indeed, living the famous Chinese curse.

5. Indeed...

If you are so RW and bigoted that Bibi, Cheney and Britain's own dear Nigel Farage are all denouncing you for it, then probably you are a bit TOO RW and bigoted - even by Republican Party standards.

PS I don't think Israel are missing much by not getting a visit from Donald Trump!

6. I had heard

(sorry, I don't remember where) that he was planning on visiting the Temple Mount - that would have caused a whole new slew of problems.
