Benjamin Netanyahu came to the White House this morning, and Trump greeted him as usual, then put his arm around him and brought him inside, as Netanyahu also put his arm around Trump.

It's about time a U.S. President treated an Israeli leader as he should. It's been a long time coming.

An Israeli leader putting the arm on a POTUS is hardly anything new.

I liked it when President Trump, being asked by the press about the 'two state' solution, said "Why stop with two states? I can make a deal in which we have three or even four states. Think big!"

You have to feel sorry for the Israeli people. The "Palestinian" fanatics have been assaulting them, killing them, firing rockets daily at them, and they have been bearing up better than any nation on earth.

I'm sure that most of the "Palestinians" actually have nothing against the Israeli people. Most of them couldn't care less about the Israelis, they just want to be left alone, to do their work, raise their families, and live at peace. The don't care if their neighbor is Islamic or Jewish. Why would they?

But it's the fanatics in the "Palestinian" government who are constantly screaming "Death to Israel", "Push all the Jews into the sea", "Death to America" etc. And they are the ones who are setting policy for the entire "Palestinian" people.

You can never have peace between two groups of people, as long as one of the groups has as its goal the complete annihilation of the other, as the "Palestinian" fanatics do.

When the Israelis finally retaliate for the things the "Palestinian" fanatics constantly do, some ordinary Palestinian" people get killed too. It happens in war, and that's what the Israelis have had shoved upon them for decades. And the "Palestinian" fanatics eagerly point to it, and use it as an excuse for escalating their own attacks and inflame their own people to scream for Israeli blood.

Can Trump and Netanyahu come up with some solution to the constant hatred and death generated by the "Palestinian" fanatics?

Let the countries of the region either learn to live together or they can die together. We have enough problems of our own to bother wasting time attempting to referee a fight with roots far older than our own country.

Israel can "live together" with others just fine. It's the "Palestinian" fanatical government that keeps attacking, teaching their own people to hate, calling for the death of all Israelis etc.

Why should Israel have to die too?

Israel has said time after time after time that it can take care of itself. WHY should America have to play referee?

Does this mean you're not going to answer my question, but change the subject instead?

I did answer it by telling you Israel states it can take care of itself which obviously answers your question, they don't have to die if they can take care of themselves. If you don't believe them you'll have to take it up with them.
