AIPAC’s apology for Trump speech is unprecedented

"The goal of unity for this conference was and is working for unity in support of Israel"...Sir correct me if I'm wrong, but we are in the US right? So the President of the United States "should" be focused on the unity and well being of the United States. I found it like you hypocrital for them to preach unity but allow the same message from various candidates against the sitting President of the US. Personally I'd be against this even if Bush was still in office. But I don't think this was a liberal thing when they invite candidates of both parties to speak. Cover Obama's "casual" relationship with Bibi? There is NO way to cover that up, and it shouldn't be. Bibi has HIS nation to run and maintain. We give them at cost to us extensive military hardware and support that no other nation on earth gets. Why should ANY President of the US bow in principal not in deed to another who is not on equal or higher footing than we are? The ally thing...does the UK or any of our European allies who fight with us when we roll out get the same preferential treatment? Nope. America is at a point where we need to focus inwards. We've spent decades and thousands of lives being the worlds 911. We DO NOT need to count the trillions wasted. Walter Payton the greatest RB ever needed a break. MJ GOAT on the courts needed a break. WE need a break. The will of the people wants to be taken care of here. That is the will of OUR people. That is the will that no legislator seems to want to listen to regardless of party.

You seem to miss my point. Please never forget we are in a Global War On Terrorism and we need to take care of those whose interests are closely aligned with ours.

Trump is right, the Obama Administration has not been a friend to Israel and weakened our place in the Arab world. Since Obama came into office, Israel has been shunted to the side lines while his administration has bowed down to many Arab and Islamic states in the misplace hopes they will become stronger Allies.

Having lived and studied the region for over 40 years, I still say Israel remains our strongest ally followed by Jordon, Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the Arab Emirates. All nations and peoples will do things in there self interests but America's National Interests is in maintaining a stable Middle East.

As to focusing inward, I understand your sentiment but to do that to the exclusion of a strong foreign and military policy will only make matters worse.

SP5 Christine Conley - I think there is nothing wrong with Beebe's actions towards Obama. If anything, he has been quite restrained given how he has been personally treated by BHO and the various slights sent Israel's way. But you are entitled to your opinion. As to Sanders, I know him personally and he is not even close to presidential material. He was a mooch at UVM back in the 1970's when I was an undergrad and he was a graduate student. When he was Mayor of Burlington, he almost turned it into a Detroit slum with non-productive cronyism. The only reason he was elected a US Senator was because he aligned himself with the NRA which was sticking to the sitting senator at the time. Unlike Hillary, he has had the sense not to break any laws or have anyone in his inner circle die because of his lies.
