    When you consider that Muslim states make up close to the majority of the votes that decide what is "international law", it makes sense. Think about it.... Libya, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc etc have an equal vote on these matters!

    @@Shmilfke ? That's not how it works. International law is treaties that individual nations are free to ratify or leave as they please. But once a state is in, a state can't break the treaty (legally, but no one will enforce it except in certain circumstances) without leaving it first.

    better question: Is what Israel thinks is good for them actually good for them in the first place? It would be in the best interest of Israel to stop settlements in the west bank, to treat Gaza fairly and to allow a two-state solution. Unless you think that terrorism and war is better than a chance for peace. Because if Israel continues their policies they same way they have been, they don't have to be surprised that the Palestinians hate them.

    Israel has been exposed, and it helps us to understand how Apartheid applies to Israel and how Semitic doesn't to Zionist so that Israel can not use the term Antisemitic or play the victim while committing genocide on Gaza. "Maimonides (the Rambam) viewed stealing as one step in the progression from covetous desire to murder. When the person who owns a coveted item resists its unjust acquisition, the thief resorts to violence and may become guilty of murder." Dictionary

    Economic Superpower. 1. By Shutting down AIPAC, by refusing AIPAC, American GDP can grow from $25 trillion dollars to $50 trillion dollars and we can all become filthy rich. 2. Demographics. More than 24.1% of the world's population is Muslim, with an estimated total of approximately 1.9 billion. Muslims are the majority in 49 countries, they speak hundreds of languages and come from diverse ethnic backgrounds. 3. And we can fix America’s trade deficit too.

You see, that's one of the problems with Trump, no one really have a clue of what he means - most of his statements are either populistic or so arbitrary that people put into it what they think themselves! I have no doubt that AIPAC will prefer Ted Cruz, I'll give you that much - but they will rather go with Trump than with Bernie Sanders, (a bit ironic - rather have the one of German descent than the one of Jewish)... But it leads me to this, the only one who has been consistent and have a record of many years that prove it, is Bernie Sanders...
