‘Where are you?’: Netanyahu lashes out at women’s rights groups
'You've heard of the rape of Israeli women, horrible atrocities, sexual mutilation. Where the hell are you?' the prime minister rages.
By JN REPORTER
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at women’s rights groups across the world for their deafening silence on the systematic rape committed by Hamas against Israeli women on 7 October.
“I heard, as you have, about the sexual abuse and rapes of unparalleled brutality. But I must say that up until a few days ago, I did not hear the human rights

A medida que avanza el acuerdo con Irán, la humillación de Occidente está casi completa
La posible eliminación del Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria de la lista de grupos terroristas marca una rendición total.
Estados Unidos es muy consciente, o al menos debería serlo, de que el recuento de víctimas del Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (CGRI) de Irán, en las últimas décadas supera, con creces a las provocadas por los talibanes, el Estado Islámico, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram y otros.
Estamos hablando de un cuarto de millón de personas que perdieron la vida en innumerables ataques terroristas en las últimas dos décadas, la mayoría en el mundo musulmán.

Israel’s flailing democracy
CAROLINE GLICK
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement Tuesday that she is opening an official impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump struck many Israelis as yet another sign that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump are in the same boat. Both are hounded by legal elites who will stop at nothing to oust them from office.
There are parallels between the two leaders.
Pelosi’s move followed the leak of a whistleblower complaint to the US intelligence community’s inspector general. The complainant alleged that during a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July, Trump sought the Ukrainian leader’s assistance in advancing his 2020 reelection prospects. This is arguable.

¿Rusia está tratando de entrometerse en las elecciones de Israel?
Por: Ron Ben Yishai
Análisis: El jefe de la agencia de seguridad interna de Israel dice que un ataque cibernético o un ‘ataque de influencia’ en las redes sociales apunta a socavar la confianza de los israelíes en su Gobierno.
¿A qué “país extranjero” se refirió el lunes a Nadav Argaman, el director de la agencia de seguridad nacional Shin Bet, cuando advirtió sobre intentos de interferir en las elecciones de Israel? Argaman hizo sus comentarios en un foro civil, probablemente bajo el supuesto de que serían informados por los medios, en un esfuerzo por disuadir a ese país, advertir a los ciudadanos israelíes de “noticias falsas” y tal vez también reclutarlos para el esfuerzo de identificar los intentos de interferencia, basados en el conocimiento acumulado de las campañas en los Estados Unidos, Francia y Gran Bretaña.

For AIPAC in a polarized America, bipartisanship is a near-impossible challenge
As pro-Israel lobby holds its annual flagship conference in Washington, Israel is no longer an issue of overwhelming consensus.

Un Estado y una Capital Indivisible de Israel
La división de Israel en dos estados, uno árabe palestino y otro judío, es una de las estrategias destructivas contra el Estado de Israel, que la comunidad internacional pretende.
Una vez más Israel se enfrenta a la ONU, representante de las naciones enemigas de los judíos, ante la pasividad traicionera del actual presidente Barack Hussein Obama II. Los estertores de la muerte política, de la administración demócrata americana, está dañando la relación de Estados Unidos e Israel. El sr. Obama no dejará la presidencia de Estados Unidos sin intentar hacer el mayor daño posible a Israel y en consecuencia a Norteamérica.
La inesperada caída de Hillary Clinton, y por consiguiente del Partido Demócrata, ha precipitado lo que el sr. Obama llevaba en su agenda oculta pro-musulmana y antiisraelí. El único interés del Sr. Obama ha sido y será, junto con el Partido Demócrata, el debilitamiento de las relaciones entre Estados Unidos e Israel. Un espíritu envidioso antiisraelí recorre el Partido Demócrata, que no ha cejado de poner tropiezos a la buena relación que tradicionalmente han mantenido Israel y Estados unidos.
Por medio del máximo representante de la política exterior de Estados Unidos, el sr. Kerry, se ha instaurado la idea de imponer las fronteras del 67, con intercambios territoriales y Jerusalem como capital de dos Estados. El exponente más destructivo de la política de la Administración Obama ha sido el continuo interés, en dividir Israel y su Capital Jerusalem. Un año en el cual la Era Obama llega a su fin será el principio de una cuidadosa y positiva relación entre Norteamérica e Israel. La pretensión del sr. Kerry denominada “la solución de los dos estados” nunca ha sido, ni será una solución.
Israel debe imponer, por la fuerza de la razón, su política interna y externa frente a la política expansionista de la ONU respecto al Estado de Israel. El único país que es criticado, acusado y juzgado por construir viviendas, para todos los ciudadanos es Israel. El único país que recibe continuas presiones para dejarse dividir y para limitar su extensión geográfica, de nuevo es Israel. La garantía de la supervivencia de la Nación Judía es alcanzar las fronteras, que el Cielo le asignó a Israel y preservar Jerusalem como la Capital Indivisible del Estado de Israel.
Una triste mirada al pasado reciente garantiza definitivamente, que cuando Israel se ha retirado unilateralmente de algún territorio no ha conseguido la paz sino todo lo contrario. Líbano o la Franja de Gaza son dos ejemplos esperpénticos de lo que se consigue cediendo el territorio. La única propuesta viable para los enemigos de Israel es aceptar “paz por paz” y no la impensable y destructiva tierra por paz. Cuando Israel entrega tierra recibe guerra, guerra y nada más que guerra.
La Promesa del Cielo es bendecir a los amigos de Israel y maldecir a los enemigos de Israel sean quienes sean. Nosotros desde esta tribuna de bendición levantaremos nuestra voz al Cielo, para rogar por la Paz de la Indivisible Jerusalem y el bienestar del Estado de Israel, en su completa extensión geográfica. Feliz año nuevo, para la nueva Administración Norteamericana presidida por el sr. Trump, que cambiará la política actual de Estados Unidos ¡El Cielo los bendiga!

CLINTON Y TRUMP: TODOS LOS ESCENARIOS POSIBLES PARA ISRAEL
Clinton y Trump ofrecen diversos escenarios para Oriente Medio e Israel
SILVIA SCHNESSEL PARA AGENCIA DE NOTICIAS ENLACE JUDÍO MÉXICO – Cualquiera sea el elegido Presidente de los Estados Unidos el 8 de noviembre, él o ella aterrizarán en medio de un gran desorden en política exterior y se enfrentarán a la urgente necesidad de reconstruir los límites y las líneas rojas de Estados Unidos en la mayor parte del mundo, incluso y sobre todo en Oriente Medio abrumado por la guerra y el desorden. La candidata demócrata y su rival republicano Donald Trump, cuyos planteamientos son tan diferentes desde todos los ángulos, descubrirán tanto uno como otro que es imposible aislar a Estados Unidos de todos los acontecimientos en Oriente Medio.
Los expertos en inteligencia militar de DEBKAfile postulan evoluciones divergentes, en función de los resultados alternativos de la elección presidencial del 8 de noviembre, según sea el ganador:
Si es Hillary Clinton, entonces –
Rusia profundizará su expansión en la región, empezando por Siria e Irak. Las unidades navales rusas que avanzn hasta el Mediterráneo por el momento, son parte del creciente poder del despliegue de Moscú en caso de asistir a la entrada de Clinton en la Casa Blanca.
Vladimir Putin no perdonará en el corto plazo los trucos de la campaña anti-rusa de la candidata demócrata, para mostrar a Donald Trump como su amigo e insinuaciones diciendo que la inteligencia rusa ha hackeado los correos electrónicos de los demócratas para girar la carrera presidencial en su contra.
El líder ruso no es del tipo que perdone cuando se trata de su reputación – y menos aún cuando la inteligencia rusa, su alma mater (su matriz) es acusada (justa o injustamente).
Debemos esperar que las altas tensiones prevalecen entre el Kremlin y la Casa Blanca de Clinton y que podrían desencadenar una conflagración militar limitada entre las fuerzas estadounidenses y rusas en Oriente Medio.
Los rebeldes sirios cuentan con Clinton para suminiustrarles armas y financiación – a diferencia de Barack Obama, y por lo tanto se sostienen tenazmente, a pesar de sus recursos inferiores contra las fuerzas sirias y pro-iraníes apoyadas por bombardeos rusos. Constatan que ella todavía se centra en sacar a Bashar Assad del poder e incluso más en la posibilidad de fortalecer a los rebeldes para impedir concepciones militares rusas para Siria. En esto, ella tendrá apoyo de amigos en los Emiratos del Golfo.
Clinton se enfrenta a un dilema respecto a Irán: como co-autora del acuerdo nuclear, también tratará de mejorar las relaciones con Teherán. Pero, al hacerlo, corre el riesgo de alienar a sus buenos amigos en el Golfo, los líderes árabes del Golfo.
Muy pronto descubrirá que los líderes y jefes militares iraníes no tienen intención de agradar a Washington, y ciertamente no a expensas de sus relaciones extremadamente rentables con Moscú y Pekín.
Clinton tratará, sin duda, de reparar los daños en las relaciones entre los EE.UU. e Israel, durante el mandato de Obama.
Si se trata de Donald Trump, entonces –
Impulsará la organización de una cumbre entre Estados Unidos y Rusia con Putin a fin de preparar el terreno para un nuevo orden mundial y un equilibrio en la distribución de las esferas de influencia en diferentes partes del mundo, incluido Oriente Medio. Puede que sea una cumbre trilateral invitando a Pekín.
La Cumbre también buscará acuerdos económicos, una perspectiva que ya desconcierta a los mercados internacionales. Trump pedirá a los líderes rusos y chinos que participen total o parcialmente en los planes que ofrece a los votantes para fortalecer la economía de Estados Unidos.
El candidato republicano ha dicho en repetidas ocasiones que estaría dispuesto a renunciar a la guerra contra Daesh en Oriente Medio a Putin y Teherán. En cualquier caso, sus asesores militares, encabezados por el general jubilado Mike Flynn, perciben que Moscú ya tiene el control de la situación militar actual, como consecuencia primera de la desastrosa política de Obama.
Sin embargo, esta política pondrá a la Administración Trump en contra del mundo árabe, los Emiratos del Golfo e Israel, porque todos temen la continuación expansionista de Irán en todo Oriente Medio bajo el paraguas de Rusia que apoya este movimiento actual.
Puede tratar de compensar esta falta de equilibrio adoptando una línea fuerte contra Teherán – e incluso revocando el acuerdo nuclear, que el presidente saliente, veía como la joya de la consagración de su política exterior. Esto podría desencadenar un nuevo brazo de guerra entre EE.UU. e Irán en la región del Golfo. Por otro lado, Irán es completamente capaz de vaciar el acuerdo nuclear de cualquier sustancia por su propia iniciativa.
Durante el primer año de Presidencia Trump, la tradicional asociación entre Estados Unidos y Arabia Saudita en materia de política militar y económica podría comenzar a colapsar – especialmente en términos de los precios del petróleo. Esta alianza entre la casa real de los Saud y los Estados Unidos data de la primera reunión entre el presidente Franklin Roosevelt y el rey Ibn Saud, hace 71 años. Los expertos en Arabia Saudita de Debkafile creen que después de algunos momentos difíciles, en un principio, Donald Trump y el rey Salman serán capaces de encontrar un terreno común y de esta manera retomar la marcha de las relaciones e incluso hacerlas más sólidas que antes. Esto podría reparar el desacuerdo con Riad generado por la administración Obama y durante el mandato de Hillary Clinton como secretaria de Estado.
Trump iniciará la mejora de las relaciones con Israel. Al hacerlo, tratará de contener los efectos de borde de la corriente actul de Netanyahu con Putin sobre Oriente Medio.

“Reconoceré a Jerusalén como capital eterna de Israel”
Foto: Kobi Gideon GPO
El candidato presidencial republicano, Donald Trump, le dijo al primer ministro, Biniamín Netanyahu, que si es elegido presidente, reconocerá a Jerusalén como la “capital indivisible” de Israel, poniendo fin a la política de larga data de Estados Unidos de mantener su embajada en Tel Aviv.
El primer ministro y el candidato republicano estuvieron reunidos durante más de una hora en la residencia privada de Trump en la Torre Trump, de Manhattan, Nueva York.
Ambos discutieron el acuerdo nuclear de las potencias mundiales con Irán y la agitación regional causada por el ascenso del Estado Islámico.
Durante la reunión, Trump manifestó que “reconoce a Israel como un socio vital” en la “guerra global contra el terrorismo islámico radical”, según el comunicado de la campaña.
La nota añade que Trump acordó con el primer ministro, que mientras que los israelíes “quieren una paz justa y duradera con sus vecinos”, no se puede lograr la paz en la región hasta que “los palestinos renuncien al odio y la violencia, y acepten a Israel como Estado judío”.
El tema de la cooperación israelí-estadounidense también surgió durante la reunión, centrándose en áreas que incluyen la asistencia militar norteamericana, y la colaboración entre ambos países en materia de seguridad cibernética.
Netanyahu y Trump también discutieron el uso de Israel de vallas de seguridad alrededor de sus fronteras para reducir los ataques terroristas y la inmigración ilegal, un ejemplo citado a menudo por los partidarios de Trump para apoyar de la cerca en la frontera sur propuesta por el candidato republicano.
Trump añadió que si es elegido, reconocerá Jerusalén como capital indivisible de Israel.
“El señor Trump reconoció que Jerusalén ha sido la capital eterna del pueblo judío durante más de 3.000 años”, expresó la campaña, y agregó que “aceptará finalmente el mandato de larga data del Congreso de reconocer a Jerusalén como la capital indivisible del Estado de Israel”.
Netanyahu agradeció al candidato republicano “su amistad y apoyo a Israel”.
La Oficina del Primer Ministro informó que en la reunión participaron el embajador israelí en EEUU, Ron Dermer, y el yerno del aspirante republicano Jared Kushner, que es judío.
“El primer ministro Netanyahu presentó la posición de Israel sobre cuestiones regionales relacionadas con la seguridad de Israel y los esfuerzos por alcanzar la paz y la estabilidad”, reza el comunicado de la Oficina.
Netanyahu tiene previsto reunirse con la candidata demócrata, Hillary Rodham Clinton, más tarde.
Netanyahu afirmó en los últimos meses que Israel mantendrá una absoluta equidistancia en sus contactos con los dos candidatos presidenciales norteamericanos.

Twilight of American Jewry
It is hard to know how Israel will be affected by the dramatic enfeeblement of the American Jewish community that we are now witnessing.
Photo by: SAUL LOEB / AFP
This week marked the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on America. Most of us didn’t realize it at the time, but those attacks also marked the beginning of the end of the golden age of American Jewry – on both sides of the ideological divide.
Most American Jews make their home on the political Left, and together with black Americans they comprise the most loyal Democratic voting bloc. American Jews have clung to the Democratic Party despite the fact that over the past decade and a half, their position in the party has become increasingly precarious.
After the September 11 attacks, the American anti-war movement rose as a force in the party. The movement was quick to conflate its anti-Americanism with hostility for Israel. Jewish anti-war activists were forced to choose between Zionism and pacifism.
And the situation has only grown worse over time.
As Gary Gambill of the Middle East Forum wrote this week in The National Interest, since the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel was founded in 2005, its members have gone from one leftist group to another and demanded that their members embrace the cause of Israel’s destruction.
Group after group – from the feminists, to the gay rights activists, to Occupy Wall Street, to Black Lives Matter – bowed to the BDS demand. Members who refused to condemn Israel and join the call for its destruction have been booted out.
As Prof. Alan Dershowitz wrote last month, this state of affairs has brought about a situation where progressive American Jews who support Israel – that is, the majority of American Jews – are increasingly finding themselves isolated, rejected by their fellow leftists.
In his words, “Over the past several years, progressive Jews and supporters of Israel have had to come to terms with the reality that those who do not reject Israel and accept the... BDS movement’s unique brand of bigotry are no longer welcome in some progressive circles. And while both the Democratic and Republican parties have embraced the importance of the US alliance with Israel, that dynamic is under threat more so than at any point in my lifetime.”
The radicalization of the American Left has caused a radicalization of the Democratic Party. This was made clear throughout this year’s Democratic primary season and during the party’s national convention. Today, the anti-Israel Left makes up not just the Democratic grassroots but also the major donors to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The significance of this development for American Jews cannot be overstated. Even if Clinton herself doesn’t share the positions of the Bernie Sanders wing of her party, she cannot govern in defiance of its will.
And if she is elected in November, she won’t.
On the Republican side of the aisle, the situation is very different.
But it is also bad.
It isn’t that anti-Semites have taken over the party of Lincoln. To be sure, white supremacists like David Duke have made clear that they are happy to support Donald Trump. But unlike Clinton and the progressives, Trump never sought nor accepted their support. Moreover, in sharp contrast to the situation on the Democrat side of the aisle, Republican support for Israel is all but unanimous.
All of the Republican primary candidates were pro-Israel to varying degrees. The GOP platform passed at the convention is the most pro-Israel document in its history.
The problem on the Republican side of the aisle then is not that the party has turned against the Jews. The problem is that a large contingent of prominent Jewish Republicans has decided to commit political suicide.
Back in the mid-1970s, disgusted by the radicalization of the Democratic Party, particularly in connection with its prosecution of the Cold War, a significant group of predominantly Jewish intellectuals led by the likes of Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz came to the conclusion that they could no longer maintain their loyalty to the Democratic Party – which had been their political home for decades. With the rise of Ronald Reagan on the Republican side of the aisle, these prominent Jews broke with the Democrats, called themselves neoconservatives, and cast their lot with the GOP.
Some members of this group received influential appointments in the Reagan administration. Others used their intellectual skills and their media outlets to set out the intellectual basis for much of Reagan’s foreign and economic policies.
These Jewish Republicans enjoyed a far less congenial relationship with Reagan’s successor George H.W. Bush. But all the same, by and large they remained loyal Republicans. For their efforts they were appointed to significant positions in the George W. Bush administration.
After the September 11 attacks, prominent Jewish Republicans like Bush’s deputy defense secretary Paul Wolfowitz rose to national fame as they were widely credited – and often credited themselves – with shaping Bush’s counter-terrorism policies, including his decision to overthrow the Iraqi government and to make democratizing the Islamic world the goal of his counter-terrorism strategies worldwide.
Their star rose as quickly as it fell. As the public soured on Bush’s war policies, the first to be blamed for his failures were the Jewish Republicans who had been so outspoken about their roles in shaping his policies.
Some of the criticism was substantive and deserved. Much of it was bigoted.
The Republican establishment, for its part, remained staunchly loyal to Bush’s policies. Both John McCain and Mitt Romney supported them to varying degrees during their presidential bids.
That support was not shared by Republican voters, however. Over Obama’s eight years in office, the Republican base and as well as lawmakers became increasing hostile to the democratic interventionism championed by the Bush administration and disaffected with the war in Iraq.
Seemingly unaware of the shift, the same Jewish Republican policy-makers and writers most identified in the public mind with Bush’s failures went into the 2016 race assuming that as was the case in 2008 and 2012, the party would choose a candidate that largely supported their views.
Two prominent Republican candidates, Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. Jeb Bush, met that expectation.
But contrary to their expectations, Rubio and Bush were flops. The voters rejected them. The two candidates that secured significant support – Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, were outspoken opponents of Bush’s policies.
Rather than repeat their practice from 1992 and accept the will of their fellow Republicans, this year the most prominent members of the Jewish Republican elite have opted to attack Trump and his voters.
That is, they have decided to commit political suicide.
Wolfowitz, along with Bush’s second term Treasury secretary Hank Paulson and several prominent lower level Jewish Republican policy-makers, announced they are voting for Clinton. Most members of the Jewish Republican elite have sufficed with refusing to endorse Trump. Some have become his most outspoken and vituperative critics.
Objectively, their behavior is irrational. With the radical takeover of the Democratic Party, these Republican rebels cannot hope to receive influential roles in a Clinton administration even if she throws some table scraps in their direction. And by attacking Trump and his voters, they are dooming themselves to political homelessness for at least a generation.
The prominence of Jewish Republicans in the Never Trump camp is liable to impact more than their personal career prospects. It is liable to adversely affect Republican attitudes toward Jews as Jews. And to their disgrace, the Jewish Republicans at the heart of the Never Trump camp are playing right into this unhealthy dynamic.
This week the Intelligence Squared debating society held a public debate in New York. The debate was posted on Real Clear Politics website.
Two sides debated the proposition that the American elites are to blame for Trump’s rise. Arguing in favor of the proposition were two Christian journalists – Tim Carney and Ben Domenech.
Arguing against it were two Jewish journalists – Bret Stephens (a formerJerusalem Post editor-in-chief) and Jennifer Rubin.
Both Rubin and Stephens voiced their support for Clinton’s controversial assertion that half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable, unworthy of attention, un-American and irredeemable.
For their part, Domenech and Carney argued that Stephens and Rubin were ignoring the social and economic dislocation of the lower middle class. They argued that the suffering of members of this group has caused millions of Americans to feel betrayed by their political elites and turn to Trump to put a stop to a political game they believe is rigged against them.
Two-thirds of the way through the event, Carney brought up religion.
Carney allowed that many of Trump’s supporters are indeed bigoted. However, he said that “as a Christian,” he couldn’t accept that they are irredeemable because Christianity teaches that all men can be saved.
Rather than grant his point or simply ignore it, Rubin chose to respond in the name of Judaism. In so doing, she turned the debate into a contest between Christianity and Judaism.
Incorrectly arguing that Judaism does not believe in repentance as a road to redemption, Rubin pointed to herself and Stephens and said sardonically, “We Jews just believe in good and evil. We don’t believe that everyone is redeemable.”
The Christians won the debate in a knockout.
Perhaps the most striking thing about the Jewish Republicans’ behavior is that while attacking the anti-Semites at the margins of the Republican Party, they ignore the anti-Semites at the heart of the Democratic Party.
While Trump has disavowed the support of the GOP’s Jew-hating wing, some of Clinton’s closest advisers harbor virulent anti-Semitic beliefs.
Take Sidney Blumenthal for instance. Blumenthal has been a close adviser to the Clintons for decades. We learned from Clinton’s emails made public earlier this year by Judicial Watch that Blumenthal was one of Clinton’s most intimate advisers throughout her tenure as secretary of state.
Blumenthal’s son Max is a raving anti-Semite. He calls for the destruction of Israel. He compares Israel to Nazi Germany and IDF soldiers to the Nazi SS.
Blumenthal Sr. is a proud father. He regularly shared his son’s ravings with Clinton, and she shared his delight. In eight separate emails over the course of her tenure in office, Clinton enthusiastically praised his Jew-hating propaganda.
In one message email, Clinton wrote, “Your Max is a mitzva.”
On the one hand then, we have the Jewish Democrats who are faced with a party that is increasingly controlled by anti-Semitic forces. And on the other hand we are in the midst of the collective political suicide of the Jewish Republican establishment.
It is hard to know how Israel will be affected by the dramatic enfeeblement of the American Jewish community that we are now witnessing. The fact remains that the vast majority of American support for Israel comes from the evangelical Christian community.
What is clear enough though is that the political waning of the Jewish community across the political spectrum means that the golden era of American Jewry is not only over. It is gone.

Netanyahu denies Israeli government prefers Trump over Clinton
“The Prime Minister expressed no preference whatsoever in this presidential race,” Netanyahu's spokesman said. “He has scrupulously avoided being dragged into American politics."
Photo by: REUTERS
Jerusalem unequivocally denied on Thursday that Israel’s leadership expressed a preference for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the US presidential race, following a Washington Post story quoting former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani as saying that was the case.
“The Prime Minister expressed no preference whatsoever in this presidential race,” Netanyahu’s spokesman David Keyes said.
“He has scrupulously avoided being dragged into American politics, and looks forward to working with whomever the American people decide to elect.”
The Washington Post on Wednesday quoted Giuliani, who was in Israel in the Spring and met with Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders, as saying, “I’ve talked to the members of the Israeli government at the highest levels. I know who they want elected here. It’s not Hillary Clinton. It’s not Obama 3.”
Giuliani was further quoted as saying that the Israeli leadership is “politically aware enough to know that if Hillary gets elected, she is going to go further to her left, to protect her left flank against Elizabeth Warren. They know she’s going to start the twostate solution thing again, cave in to the Palestinians.
They realize Donald Trump can say Islamic terrorism, can stand up to it. So there’s no question he would be better for the state of Israel than Hillary.”
Netanyahu hosted then-Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney for dinner in the summer of 2012 in Jerusalem, leaving many with the impression that he favored Romney over US President Barack Obama in that year’s race. In the summer of 2008, when Obama was the Democratic presidential candidate, he also came to Israel and had dinner with then prime minister Ehud Olmert.
Few read that meeting, however, as an indication that Olmert preferred Obama over his rival at the time, John McCain.
Trump was asked at his Florida press conference on Wednesday whether he intended to visit Israel.
“Well, it’s a tradition,” Trump said of presidential candidates visiting Israel before the elections, “but I don’t do things that are traditional.
But I have great support from Israel. I will back Israel 100 percent. I would like to go there. But I have great relationships as you know, to the people in Israel.”
Trump added, “And by the way, Obama in my opinion is the single worst thing politically speaking that’s ever happened to Israel. He has been a disaster for Israel.”
Trump had intended to visit Israel In December, but called that trip off shortly after Netanyahu joined many others around the world and rejected Trump’s comments about the need for the US to institute a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” Some 37 MKs, including two from the coalition, signed a letter at the time calling on the premier to cancel his planned meeting with Trump.
Netanyahu’s aides stressed then that the prime minister “absolutely did not” ask Trump to cancel his visit.
Trump announced the postponement then of his trip to Israel with a tweet saying he would instead visit after he is elected president.
Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office said Thursday that they have not heard at this point of any intention by Trump, Clinton or their running mates to visit the country before the November 8 election.

Hillary Clinton promises megadonor she will work with Republicans– to oppose BDS.
Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to Haim Saban,
the biggest giver on the Democratic side, saying that she will be speaking out
publicly against BDS, the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign aimed at
Israel, and will work “across party lines” to oppose it.
In a two page letter with a handwritten postscript, released
by Saban to the press, Clinton expresses “alarm” at the
movement, links anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism and the murderous attacks on
French Jews, and tells Saban that she first “fell in love” with Israel more
than 30 years ago when she and Bill Clinton walked the streets of Jerusalem’s
Old City. (Sorry, but that’s occupied Palestine.)
And Israel is a miracle; but
it’s definitely not South
Africa:
I am also very concerned by attempts to compare Israel with
South African apartheid. Israel
is a vibrant democracy in a region dominated by autocracy, and it faces
existential threats to its survival. Particularly at a time when anti-Semitism
is on the rise across the world — especially in Europe — we need to repudiate
forceful efforts to malign and undermine Israel and the Jewish people.
She seeks Saban’s thoughts and recommendations
about how to engage communities across the country to counter BDS. From
Congress to state legislatures, to classrooms and boardrooms, we need to engage
all people of good faith to show why BDS is harmful to Palestinians and
Israelis. (But every Palestinian I’ve met is in favor of BDS!)
BDS must be doing something right to be getting
this kind of attention. This is all about money; Hillary Clinton needs to raise
more than $2 billion, much of it from pro-Israel Jews. Saban just staged a
conference in Las Vegas
with Sheldon Adelson, the big Republican giver, to come up with ideas to
counter BDS. The big idea was millions of dollars.
A few weeks back President Obama also said that
anti-Zionism was anti-Semitism. He is presumably supporting
Democratic candidates for office.
Clinton says that the
Palestinians cannot unilaterally declare a state, and no one can impose a
solution on Israel.
She brags on her record as a U.S.
senator and secretary of state, saying she opposed “dozens of anti-Israel
resolutions at the UN.” She writes that she supported Israel after
the “biased” Goldstone Report.
“Time after time I have made it clear that America will always stand up for Israel — and
that’s what I’ll always do as President.”
Clinton does not care
that the Democratic base is deserting
her on this issue. She thinks she can push this position through. Coverage
of the letter is at Politico and Haaretz.

Clinton: con Irán, "mejor que no haya acuerdo a que haya uno malo".
La ex secretaria de Estado - y potencial candidata a la presidencia de Estados Unidos en 2016 - Hillary Clinton, manifestó que no cree que Irán siga hasta el final, si se llega a un acuerdo para frenar su programa nuclear. "El presidente Obama ha dicho que las probabilidades de conseguir un acuerdo global son cincuenta-cincuenta (miti-miti)", indicó Clinton durante un discurso pronunciado ante el foro mundial del Comité Judío Norteamericano en Washington. "Personalmente, soy escéptica de que los iraníes sigan hasta el final y cumplan", dijo Clinton, según el reporte del periódico The Hill.
No obstante, la esposa del ex presidente estadounidense describió las actuales negociaciones entre Irán y las potencias mundiales como "un desarrollo prometedor ", y declaró que Estados Unidos y sus aliados " tienen que probar para ver lo que se puede lograr".
Clinton, que todavía no ha anunciado su intención de postularse como candidata a presidente, destacó sus esfuerzos por mantener relación de Estados Unidos con Israel "sólida como una roca"
"Siempre fue, para mí, una parte importante no sólo de mi responsabilidad; sino que tengo el privilegio de ser una amiga de Israel".
Al referirse a las reuniones que están teniendo lugar entre Irán y los países del Grupo 5 +1 en Viena, Clinton mantuvo que Teherán no ha cumplido con todos sus compromisos en el pasado. Los próximos meses serán cruciales, expresó, y EE.UU. tiene que estar dispuesto a marcharse ante un mal acuerdo.
"Para llegar al objetivo tendremos que ser duros, lúcidos y estar listos para abandonar las negociaciones y aumentar la presión si es necesario", advirtió Clinton. "Es mejor que no haya acuerdo a que haya uno malo. Desde mi perspectiva, no podemos y no debemos aceptar ningún acuerdo que ponga en peligro a Israel, o nuestra propia seguridad nacional. Ahora vale la pena señalar que, incluso si se alcanza un acuerdo, el apoyo de Irán a los terroristas y su comportamiento agresivo en la región sigue siendo una amenaza”.
