Rabbi Billet's supporting letter for Rabbi Hain's endorsement for Hillary in this article  https://www.facebook.com/heshie.billet/posts/10207513289657261

----------------------------------------------------

My response to their endorsements:

Lichvod Rabbi Hain and Rabbi Billet, shlita

Most worrisome is the Huma Abedin Video. HILLARY'S 'SURROGATE DAUGHTER' TIED TO TERRORISTS, 9/11 FUNDERS Chilling video of Huma Abedin every American voter must see   http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/hillarys-surrogate-daughter-tied-to-terrorists-911-funders/  WND was first to report Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, was the official representative of Naseef’s terror-stained Muslim World League in the 1990s. Less than one month after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Newsweek reported that the Muslim World League was used by terror mastermind Osama bin Laden to to finance his operations:...Shoebat previously reported that as one of 63 leaders of the Muslim Sisterhood, the de facto female version of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saleha Abedin served alongside Nagla Ali Mahmoud, the wife of Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammed Morsi, Egypt’s now ousted president.

While Trump has flaws regarding offensive speech re women, which he said 11 years ago as a private citizen, did he forcibly rape or murder? 

Being molested is indeed horrible if it really happened and he has yet to be convicted. He and his family did not defend his bragging of offensive behavior. In fact they agreed it was offensive. Being raped is far more scary. I am not only referring to the women who claimed they were raped by Bill Clinton. I am referring to the masses of migrants who among them are fundamental Islamic followers of Mohammed who systematically beheaded the men and took the women as sex slaves. 

Are you informed as to what happened to the Yezidi women under monster ISIS whom Hillary has helped create?  They simply followed Mohammed's example.  Shouldn't we be holding her accountable as she herself suggests we do? 

Her foreign policy under the Obama Administration as Secretary of State did not put ISIS in check when they were still a localized relatively small threat in 2014. Two years later, following the barbaric holocaust of the Yezidi population and others,  ISIS is now a global threat, in Germany, France, England, Sweden etc. seeing a significant increase of horrific sexual attacks against women. 

As a woman,  I and many other women are far from convinced that Hillary will protect our women from this foreign element in the USA with her open borders policy. 

There are plenty of reasons not to expect Hillary to be a champion of women's rights. She clearly has not shown the strength of character of Ivanka who called her fathers remarks offensive. 

The opposite.  There is evidence that she is responsible for further abuse of her husband's sexual victims.

Perhaps Donald Trump's offensive language regarding the open door policy for migrants is an accurate and realistic assessment of a not trivial segment in the Islamic population. This segment will support and practice a barbaric and inhumane form of Radical Islamic Terror,  sometimes openly and sometimes deceitfully. Please note that Donald Trum clarified that all immigrants must be vetted.  He never said that he is closing our borders to all Muslims and Hispanics based on their race or color as the media would like us to believe.   

Besides the Arab countries from which migrants come,  Germany, France and Sweden have a situation now where women are unprotected and are fearful to go out on the streets without getting molested. This is due to the culture and moral depravity of some of the migrants who have been welcomed into their countries.

The disgusting and immoral behavior towards women is modus operandis of Muslims who abide by Sharia Law which considers such behavior towards infidel women and even their own women, permissable, acceptable and  justified as they have been taught, and that it is the women's fault, the victim's fault... rather than the men. 

Far far more horrific than cheap offensive talk by Donald.

I would expect from every Jew to emulate G-d see beyond the surface to try to see what is going underneath the surface (Penimius). 

It doesn't impress me that Hillary is more poised, less prust (yiddishism for coarse) than Donald or even more Presidential looking (which personally I'm not convinced is the case)... unless your expectation of being Presidential is to be a fake and to put on a polished veneer.  

Is her inner vessel consistent with her rhetoric and actions or rather is it like eating gourmet food out of toilet bowl? 

Seriously, will she thoroughly vet the Islamic migrants when she knows she will be accused of Islamaphobia by her staunchest supporters? Denying entry to the USA goes against their idea of "human rights", and "welcoming the homeless migrants" and their idea of being "hospitable and charitable". 

Will she be any different than Angele Merkel also female who literally has blood on her hands? http://pamelageller.com/2016/11/merkels-germany-muslim-migrants-committed-142500-crimes-in-germany-during-the-first-six-months-of-2016.html/

Her track record is dismal when it comes to the welfare of women rights. Just ask the Yezidis from Mosul of 2014.  She could have nipped ISIS in the bud at that point in time, if she or the Obama Adminsitration really cared about women.  Actually there is sufficient evidence that it was Hillary's leadership that sold  $80 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia who funded terror groups. And it was her leadership that overthrew Qadaffi that set the stage for the rise of ISIS and helped to arm ISIS and allow them to achieve fantastic bloody and barbaric conquest  in such a relatively short span of time.  (see Julian Assange's Most Incendiary Interview: "Hillary Clinton Is The Central Cog Of The Establishment" - Tyler Durden . Comments. Today's news Pardoning Felons to rig the Election http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2016/11/julian-assanges-most-incendiary.htm)

Women in comparison, seem to be doing quite well in the Trump world be it in the Trump business or the Trump family. Surely Trump's wife and daughters are professional,  polished and accomplished women with wholesome family values. Trump I understand has a very decent track record regarding employing women with equal pay and benefits. Ivanka made that a focus at the Republican Primary.

Certainly molestation is not a Trump modus operandis, as is the case in the Islamic world where in Egypt or Saudi Arabia a women can not walk in safety without fear of molestation. Here in America and by Trump and his people,  molestation is aberrant behavior, not the norm. 

Now let me throw in one more zinger that you might not be aware of regarding the Clintons that is all related to treatment of women! Please check out this website:  http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/  You might want to focus on the Clinton Crime family.  Bill Clinton has surrounded himself with criminals  http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/clinton-crime-family-exposed/. But specifically please read this article about Population control  http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/policies/population-control/. You might be unpleasantly surprised that your religious values especially about women does not jive with the Clinton's. 

Possibly one of the most heinous of Bill Clinton’s foreign policies dealt with population control.

World Population Organizations were requiring that Third World countries accept their population control agenda in order to qualify for financial assistance. The United Nations, International Planned Parenthood Federation, World Health Organization, U.S. Aid, World Bank, and other population control groups used hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars to kill babies around the world in the effort of controlling the population and to advance the depopulation agenda of The Club of Rome....A Special Report EIR (Executive Intelligence Review) March 10, 1981, reported a Club of Rome planning apparatus operating outside the control of the White House whose sole purpose is to reduce the world’s population by 2 billion people through war, famine, disease and any other means necessary. The targeting agency for the operation is the National Security Council’s Ad Hoc Group on Population Policy. Its policy-planning group is in the U.S. State Department’s Office of Population Affairs, established in 1975 by Henry Kissinger.

The Clinton administration perceived an “approaching disaster” of world overpopulation. The problem, as they see it, is human beings – far too many human beings....video...
To remedy this problem, Vice President Al Gore and U.S. Undersecretary of State Tim Wirth led an American delegation of 45 members to the United Nations Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt, September 5-13, 1994....The same cast of characters that took control of the National Conference on Women back in 1977 was calling the shots in Cairo. Betty Friedan, Pat Schroeder, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug and other radical feminists were on hand to promote their anti-family agenda to all the nations of the world.
The U.S. pushed the position that abortion should become universally available in every country, and that every nation should embrace freely available abortion as the fundamental right of all women....
the record of the Clinton administration.
  • The Administration restored about $15 million to the International Planned Parenthood Federation, a London-based consortium that runs campaigns to repeal the pro-life laws that remain in effect in most less-developed nations. In restoring funds to IPPF and other aggressively pro-abortion groups, “In effect, President Clinton is taking money away from agencies that promote contraception, and giving it to those that seek to promote abortion – even in nations where abortion violates the cultural, religious, and legal values,” NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson said.
  • In March of 1994, the State Department sent a cable to all American embassies around the world urging them to coerce local governments to make abortion a “fundamental right of all women.”...The Clinton administration nearly doubled U.S. spending on world population control programs (from about $300 million in 1992 to $585 million in 1995) and, in keeping with the United Nations action plan, sought to double population control spending again in the next five years (up to $1.2 billion for fiscal year 2000). The stated goal of the action plan is to provide birth control and family planning services by the end of the decade to all 600 million women of childbearing age in developing countries..(thank you Linda Cohn for the tip)  

Rabbis, I am sure you did not miss the planned parenthood scandal where they were selling body parts as if they were a commodity. 

So much for the Clinton's treatment of women and defender of the rights of women and children.

Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky When Asked, Says That He is Voting for Trump.... "A man is known by the company he keeps" Aesop

bs"d

Shmuel Koenig, a fellow activist for Eretz Yisroel Hashleima and for Yehuda and Shomron,   asked Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky whom he is voting for and Rabbi Kamenetsky answered, Donald Trump.... Rabbi Kamenetsky also told Shmuel Koenig that if asked, we can tell people but didn't want to publicize.  

That seems confusing to me....

So I debated whether to put this on my blog...

My Mother zul er zeyn gezunt, may she live and be well, always said "Nisht do kin Behaltene Zachen" which means that there are no hidden secrets.  Bill Clinton found out the hard way....

Why would Rabbi Kamenetsky share this important newsworthy information with us, avid Trump supporters, if he really didn't want others to know.. Didn't he knowingly realize, that there are activists like myself in close contact with Shmuel Koenig, who are itching to get the news out there and that he was putting a stumbling block in my blogging path?  

I concluded that Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky personally didn't want to publicize his choice for President due to political considerations but didn't really mind if we somehow let others know.  At least that is what I wanted to believe. (Otherwise I think I need to ask Mechila for this post...)

But the following clinched my decision to post this news...

In order to get an idea as per how Rabbi Kamenetsky's choice would influence voters, we, (avid Trump advocates) asked a well known Rebbetzin and a typical Beis Medrash Yeshivish guy whom they were voting for.  Both replied they wanted to vote for a write-in a candidate.  

In our limited survey among friends and acquaintances, this seemed to be a voting trend in the Jewish Orthodox world.  

When we casually mentioned to these 2 individuals that Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky was voting for Trump both then said, if that is the case, then they too will vote Trump.

It was then that I decided to write this post.  

So the above information is purely for those of you who are sitting on the fence, wondering for whom Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky is voting for to help you decide and in the meanwhile are planning on voting for Miriam M a Brooklyn write-in  candidate.  (see below)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Why Jews Should Vote for Trump.  A digression.... Maybe you haven't heard it all...

"A man is known by the company he keeps" Aesop


A man is judged by the company he keeps....

If you want to know the character of Donald Trump and what his true inner feelings are towards Jews and toward Israel look at the company he keeps. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I know my posts are lengthy and people tend not to have the patience to finish reading the entire post, so I purposely put my digression in early on.)

Let us return to the discussion of the latest voting trend of voting for a non candidate.

Apparently the Orthodox Jewish Community is confused as per whom to vote.  The Jewish Leadership is "Neutral" at best or in the case of the OU,  openly supportive of Hillary Clinton.  

On page 11 in this week's Jewish Press there is an ad for Borough Park - Flatbush - Kensington's own write-in candidate for President 

CHAYA M!

An educated guess would predict that a significant and sizable number of civic minded, intelligent, frum Jews are choosing to vote a write in vote, a wasted vote, since they have been encouraged  by our community leaders to come out and vote but they have not be advised as per whom to vote.  They have come to the conclusion, based on what they have been hearing from Rabbinic and Community leaders, that since both candidates are equally bad they will vote  "neutral",  for a non candidate.  
I wonder how many votes CHAYA M. the Neutral, non candidate, will get from religious Jews in Brooklyn?

Many liberal Jews will opt for a write-in candidate, because they are turned off by Trump's offensive remarks and Hillary's treason. 

Being offensive, apparently for many,  falls into the same category as being treasonous!?!

This non voting choice from the Orthodox Jewish community,  however is quite shocking....  coming from a religious,  fiscally conservative, Torah educated, pro Israel community whose Torah values are much in line with the Republican Party's platform!  

Apparently, secretly they are praying that Hillary is not elected so long as it doesn't affect their bottom line. (Something Trump probably can relate to)... 

How do I know? Because after defending their choice of voting for a non candidate they will add "and let's pray Hillary doesn't win".

This Mehalech, this trend, significantly benefits Hillary's candidacy.  To be "neutral",   is to neutralize the opposition and those who dare to expose the evils and treason of the Obama Administration and of  Hillary and the Clinton Foundation. 

This approach was similarly used to delegitimize Jewish hilltop youth in Judea and Samaria.... Just make them appear to be "Jewish Terrorists" as bad as the Palestinian terrorists...Yemach Shemam. America then can claim to be a third neutral party working with both sides of the Israel/Palestinian conflict who actively engage in terror and human rights violations. 

The best damage control Hillary's camp can hope for is to make both candidates look equally bad. Anyone who actually tries to make Hillary Clinton look like a wonderful candidate for Jews will be taken as a fool and this would be counterproductive. It would serve to hurt Hillary as it would appear to be disingenuous and doing so risks losing one's respect, reputation and credibility in the  Jewish community. ( I genuinely feel sorry for David Greenfield and Menachem Genack....)

Dov Hikind fell into this hole as well.  At a "neutral" forum hosted by the Talmud Torah of Flatbush, mediated by Leon Goldenberg a Board Member of the Agudah, Dov Hikind a Democrat for Trump was  to debate a pro Hillary supporter Menachem Genack CEO of the Kashrut Division of the Orthodox Union.  http://www.jewishpress.com/news/us-news/ny/election-2016-the-jewish-perspective/2016/10/27/  Hikind backed down and announced he simply can not vote for Trump.  At this forum there was not even a pretense of "neutrality"

Then today on the Nachum Segal radio program JMINTHEAM Jeff Ballabon, a true Trump supporter debated David Greenfield a Hillary supporter, with Nachum Segal being the "neutral" moderator.  Here they almost succeeded in pulling off a proper "neutral" and civil debate. Nachum did not quite succeed however when they started lashing at each other in a most uncivil manner...Nachum tried his best to remain neutral and maintain decorum...

What is clear to me is that when one postures as being neutral, in truth they are coming from a bias.  The questions were clearly formulated so as not to antagonize either candidate since then one would question the neutrality of the moderator.  If a candidate is antagonized by the question the moderator will be accused of a bias. This then biases the questions on the side of sounding neutral rather than on the actual questions themselves.

Here is the catch...

There is no such thing as a Torah neutral position just because there is a Presidential election.  There is just Emes of Torah. 

The Aguda and the OU are political organizations who have been funded directly from the Democratic Party.  Neither party is objective and each are blinded with a bias. Prime Minister Netanyahu as well is a politician blinded by political considerations and no one can look towards him for Torah clarity.


Allow me to be presumptuous, speaking with the spirit of Chevron,  and speak out like the child who sees the Emes of the Emperor's clothing.   

The Child sees with great clarity that the Emperor is naked. 

Any child who learns Torah and about the Bris, the Covenant, which Hashem Promised to our Forefathers individually, Avroham, Yitzchak and Yaakov,  will have Emunah Peshuta, simple faith,  that Har HaBayit, Temple Mount, all of Yehuda and Shomron which includes all the H-ly sites,  Kever Rochel, Maarat HaMachpela and Kever Yosef are an integral part of our Biblical Heritage, G-d's Land.  No leader nor individual, as powerful as they are, has the right to give away our Promised Land. We just learned that from the first Rashi of Breishith.

Hashem is watching this campaign and is wondering why our Rabbinic Leaders have been silent and have difficulty with this basic, fundamental truth and are unable to vocalize and publicize it!

The reason is clearly because foreign gods, the Sitre Acher have infiltrated our holiest of places, our Leadership, our Batei Medrashim and our shuls and schools to confuse us.  

That is why we find ourselves unable to yell out in emotional pain when the gov't of Israel, being under the influence of the Israeli Supreme Court who is under the influence of foreign G-d's, funded by the likes of Soros, and leftist NGO's rule against Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and can not unequivocally revoke their decision to demolish homes in Amona and Ofra. 

One does not have to be a brilliant Chacham to know that the destruction of Gush Katif was evil and a tragedy of epic proportions a Bechiya of Dorot, a cause for perpetual mourning,  a continuation of tragedies which all happened on Tisha Baav.  Nor does it take hours of learning Mesechtos, tractates that deal with Property rights to know that the property of 10,000 Jews were cruelly taken away for an idolatrous and false vision of "Peace".

Donald Trump is surrounded by G-d Fearing people.  See above...He is surrounded by individuals who have a proven track record that their support of Israel is real and not merely politically nor money motivated.  

Hillary Clinton on the other hand, is surrounded by individuals who are closely tied to Israel's enemies (The Huma Video   http://pamelageller.com/2016/11/the-huma-video.html/and in her official capacity has personally empowered Israel's worst enemies. Good Jews who are her strongest advocates are in my opinion, misguided individuals under her political influence who unfortunately will with time be embarrassed to know that they were merely useful idiots who promoted her agenda into office.  

Will others say the same about me for supporting Trump?   That I was a useful idiot?

One can only judge based on the evidence at hand.  

I can honestly say that neither candidate has in any way acknowledged my blog nor my input in any way.  I hope that my only influence comes from my understanding of what is written and what we learn from Torah and from having lived in Kiryat Arba hi Hebron. 

Hillary's platform is to advance the 2 State Solution.  Her close relationship with Netanyahu is contingent on his willingness to advance the 2 State Solution.

How would Hillary respond if  Netanyahu openly rejected the 2 State Solution Narrative? 

Very possibly with a vote in the UN for a Palestinian State and she would probably berate him as she did in the past when there was news of construction in Jerusalem or in areas over the green line.  

How would Donald Trump respond? Probably favorably.

Trump has said that he will be neutral with negotiating for an Israeli and Palestinian peace.  Since then his platform has rejected the 2 State Solution. The Trump campaign in Israel in fact is based in Judea and Samaria.  His "neutrality" has a given that one does not negotiate with terrorists nor with governments that educate and glorify terror.  Hillary's starting point of negotiation is to negotiate unconditionally, with the PA who is Fatah who is in cahoots with Hamas. Both Hillary and Donald claim to be a "neutral" party and a great friend of Israel,  though with Hillary her starting position and willingness to negotiate with evil makes her position extremely untrustworthy and dangerous for Israel. 

Trump and the Republican Platform has clearly been supportive of Jewish Settlement in Judea and Samaria and Trump is probably scratching his head why Orthodox Jews who learn and read the Torah daily haven't at the very minimum acknowledged his platform with great appreciation and Hakoras Hatov.  According to David Friedman, he has had to rely primarily on Evangelicals to do that.  

How will we as Jews be able to face the Borei Olam, the Olam HaEmes, in a Heavenly Court, when they asked us why we were sitting on the fence afraid to speak forthright for Torah because there was a chance that the Democrats would get elected and we needed to be on their good side. 

Are we so afraid of the collapse of our Jewish Institutions and its funding if Trump got elected and who as President may not be so generous with gov't funding for Jewish social programs and institutions? 

Why aren't we afraid of the poison we are ingesting with blood money that has bought our silence about Iran and about the nullification of the Torah  with the Government of Israel's willingness in principle to negotiate for a 2 State Solution. 

This "Solution" would not even benefit Palestinians, as they themselves will find themselves under a corrupt regime, with worse economic opportunity and health and education benefits than under the State of Israel,  and puts all of Israel. not to mention the entire Middle East, in dire danger?

 What about Ein Old Milvado?  

With Nuclear threats, economic collapse etc, we need Hashem to fight for our battles, not Obama or Hillary.  

Rabbosai, but we need to merit Hashem's salvation!  Trump will get his reward for sure in Olam HaEmes, for his pro Torah platform that rejects the Two State Solution. 

How about us?  That can only come when we, the Jewish People testify on G-d's behalf the Truth of the Torah!

But Trump more than anyone knows the power of being bought...  

Trump has not been inconsistent with his Pro Israel stand.  The proof of this can be judged by the company he keeps.

Trump's Commitment on Israel Joint Statement from Jason Dov Greenblatt and David Friedman, Co-Chairmen of the Israel Advisory Committee to Donald J. Trump

Trump's Policy on Israel/US Relations

Joint Statement from Jason Dov Greenblatt and David Friedman, Co-Chairmen of the Israel Advisory Committee to Donald J. Trump

Approximately seven months ago, we were blessed to have been tapped by Donald J. Trump to be his top advisors with respect to the State of Israel.... Each of these positions have been discussed with Mr. Trump and the Trump campaign, and most have been stated, in one form or another, by Mr. Trump in various interviews or speeches given by him or on his social media accounts. For those of you who are true friends of the State of Israel, and for those of you who believe that the State of Israel and the United States of America have an unbreakable friendship, we urge you to read the below....We would also like to express our gratitude to our friend, a great friend of the State of Israel, Donald J. Trump, who gave us the tremendous opportunity to serve in this capacity. May God bless the United States of America and the State of Israel. 
· The unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel is based upon shared values of democracy, freedom of speech, respect for minorities, cherishing life, and the opportunity for all citizens to pursue their dreams. 
· Israel is the state of the Jewish people, who have lived in that land for 3,500 years. The State of Israel was founded with courage and determination by great men and women against enormous odds and is an inspiration to people everywhere who value freedom and human dignity. 
· Israel is a staunch ally of the U.S. and a key partner in the global war against Islamic jihadism. Military cooperation and coordination between Israel and the U.S. must continue to grow. 
· The American people value our close friendship and alliance with Israel — culturally, religiously, and politically. While other nations have required U.S. troops to defend them, Israelis have always defended their own country by themselves and only ask for military equipment assistance and diplomatic support to do so. The U.S. does not need to nation-build in Israel or send troops to defend Israel. 
· The Memorandum of Understanding signed by the American and Israeli Governments is a good first step, but there is much more to be done. A Trump Administration will ensure that Israel receives maximum military, strategic and tactical cooperation from the United States, and the MOU will not limit the support that we give. Further, Congress will not be limited to give support greater than that provided by the MOU if it chooses to do so. Israel and the United States benefit tremendously from what each country brings to the table — the relationship is a two way street. 
· The U.S. should veto any United Nations votes that unfairly single out Israel and will work in international institutions and forums, including in our relations with the European Union, to oppose efforts to delegitimize Israel, impose discriminatory double standards against Israel, or to impose special labeling requirements on Israeli products or boycotts on Israeli goods. 
· The U.S. should cut off funds for the UN Human Rights Council, a body dominated by countries presently run by dictatorships that seems solely devoted to slandering the Jewish State. UNESCO's attempt to disconnect the State of Israel from Jerusalem is a one-sided attempt to ignore Israel's 3,000-year bond to its capital city, and is further evidence of the enormous anti-Israel bias of the United Nations. 
· The U.S. should view the effort to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) Israel as inherently anti-Semitic and take strong measures, both diplomatic and legislative, to thwart actions that are intended to limit commercial relations with Israel, or persons or entities doing business in Israeli areas, in a discriminatory manner. The BDS movement is just another attempt by the Palestinians to avoid having to commit to a peaceful co-existence with Israel. The false notion that Israel is an occupier should be rejected. 
· The Trump administration will ask the Justice Department to investigate coordinated attempts on college campuses to intimidate students who support Israel. 
· A two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians appears impossible as long as the Palestinians are unwilling to renounce violence against Israel or recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Additionally, the Palestinians are divided between PA rule in the West Bank and Hamas rule in Gaza so there is not a united Palestinian people who could control a second state. Hamas is a US-designated terrorist organization that actively seeks Israel's destruction. We will seek to assist the Israelis and the Palestinians in reaching a comprehensive and lasting peace, to be freely and fairly negotiated between those living in the region. 
· The Palestinian leadership, including the PA, has undermined any chance for peace with Israel by raising generations of Palestinian children on an educational program of hatred of Israel and Jews. The larger Palestinian society is regularly taught such hatred on Palestinian television, in the Palestinian press, in entertainment media, and in political and religious communications. The two major Palestinian political parties — Hamas and Fatah — regularly promote anti-Semitism and jihad. 
· The U.S. cannot support the creation of a new state where terrorism is financially incentivized, terrorists are celebrated by political parties and government institutions, and the corrupt diversion of foreign aid is rampant. The U.S. should not support the creation of a state that forbids the presence of Christian or Jewish citizens, or that discriminates against people on the basis of religion. 
· The U.S. should support direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians without preconditions, and will oppose all Palestinian, European and other efforts to bypass direct negotiations between parties in favor of an imposed settlement. Any solutions imposed on Israel by outside parties including by the United Nations Security Council, should be opposed. We support Israel's right and obligation to defend itself against terror attacks upon its people and against alternative forms of warfare being waged upon it legally, economically, culturally, and otherwise. 
· Israel's maintenance of defensible borders that preserve peace and promote stability in the region is a necessity. Pressure should not be put on Israel to withdraw to borders that make attacks and conflict more likely. 
· The U.S. will recognize Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the Jewish state and Mr. Trump's Administration will move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. 
· Despite the Iran Nuclear deal in 2015, the U.S. State Department recently designated Iran, yet again, as the leading state sponsor of terrorism — putting the Middle East particularly, but the whole world at risk by financing, arming, and training terrorist groups operating around the world including Hamas, Hezbollah, and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The U.S. must counteract Iran's ongoing violations of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action regarding Iran's quest for nuclear weapons and their noncompliance with past and present sanctions, as well as the agreements they signed, and implement tough, new sanctions when needed to protect the world and Iran's neighbors from its continuing nuclear and non-nuclear threats.
