Just as an FYI, Iran tested two ballistic missiles this week. One had written on it in Hebrew "Wipe Israel off the earth."

I thought part of the "Deal" with Iran was that they couldn't test ballistic missiles...did I misread or more likely misremember something?

Whoever is in the Oval Office must recognize that Israel is our best ally in the Middle East and that they have a right to be there and to protect themselves. Israel has practiced a lot of restraint in the way they have treated those who make themselves their enemies.

 

We should take the words of Hamas, Iran, and the rest seriously in regard to their intentions against Israel, and the US for that matter. Israel takes them seriously.

 

This is not a blanket endorsement of every action or policy by Israel. They do some things that are unjust. But most of the criticism of Israel is completely out of proportion to the injustices they have suffered at the hands of the nations around them and ignores the restraint they use in dealing with their enemies.

 

Why? We've gone over 7 years without it being recognized.
