Finally, Israel issue explodes into presidential primaries

Maybe Trump should respond: “We don’t need another president who just recites Israeli talking points. I’m not going to recite anybody’s talking points, and that’s what Marco Rubio does, especially if they come from deep pocket donors. Most of the American Jews I know, particularly the younger generation, don’t believe in those talking points anymore, because they’re not believable. They’re a gross oversimplification. If the President is going to make a deal in the Middle East, it won’t be by reciting Israeli talking points. When I get my deal done, Israel will be safer than at any time in its history, and that’s a promise. It’s not whether your rich pro-Israel donors anoint you as their sock pocket of the moment, it’s whether you, unlike your predecessors, can take on the biggest deal-making challenge of our time, and succeed. And that requires listening to, and respecting all parties’ legitimate and lawful interests.”

As to William Kristol, the sentiment he expresses (of wanting to see a bully with his nose bloodied) applies as well to him and his neocon buddies, and to Netanyahu and his right wingnuts in Israel. It makes me wonder if part of the neocon deceit tactic is to project all manner of one’s own failings and weaknesses onto one’s opponent.

As to Rubio as bully-nose-bloodier, I’ll believe that when I see it. He’s more of the “I’ll tell your Mom” kind of a guy.
