Donald Trump--the Chicken who Squacks Too Much

It's easy to go after others when you yourself can hide behind money that probably doesn't exist in the large sums Trump claims. Now he is dropping from the Republican race.

What do I have to say about this? One word: Trump is a chicken who squacks too much.

OK, eight words.

Obama and Isreal

I'm Jewish. That said--hip hip hooray. Someone was finally strong enough and courageous enough to say what needed to be said. Isreal must bend.

Our nation is based on war, discomfort for the people who live there, and imperilism. Isreals history is not because they were granted the initial lands they occupy today--but they own other lands because of war and the discomfort of the native people many of whom now live in large camps--camps that forment much of the anti=Isreral furror.

What the president said is badly needed. Isreal refuses to stop settlers from building in the territories, Isreal has an armed force in the occupied territories, and Isreal--rightfully or wrongfully--refuses to even begin to bend.

Someone must make the move of diplomacy, of thinking outside of the box, of bringing the region together.

I applaud the president for having the guts to say what needs to be said.
