Does Israel need America's help?
President Donald Trump is the best leader of the United States that Israel has ever had. He vastly outstrips Former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who smiled while they worked a knife into the back of the Jewish state. Dwight D. Eisenhower was even worse, far worse. He bullied the Israeli military into returning the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, after they had won it fair and square in a defensive war. (Ike himself later opined that this was a mistake, according to some commentators).
