The crowd, consisting of nearly 2/3 of Congress, students from more than 620 college campuses, and representatives of 275 Synagogues...people who have really studied the US-Israeli relationship. They are the people who have actually studied the Iran nuclear deal. They understand the complexity of the relationships in the Middle East... They know that you can't just talk your way to peace...
...As Politico reported, the members of AIPAC have seen what happens when a country attacks an entire religious group. They remember what happened in Europe. They are uncomfortable, to say the least, with Trump's anti-Muslim language during this campaign. A large group of rabbis walked out of the meeting, expressing their discomfort with Trump's rhetoric.
In his speech, Mr. Trump tried to make the case for his toughness against Iran. But his words left the crowd somewhat confused...
..."When I'm President, I will adopt a strategy that focuses on three things when it comes to Iran. First, we will stand up to Iran's aggressive push to destabilize and dominate the region. Iran is a verg big problem, and will continue to be, but if I'm not elected President, I know how to deal with trouble, and believe me, that's why I'm going to be elected President, folks."...
