With all his faults, Trump is best of the US hopefuls

Avner Eliyahu Romm

Trump may not be the ideal presidential candidate – and I disagree with some of his political views – but he is the one who is likely to ring the change which humanity desperately needs. No more influence of Saudi-Arabia and other oil-rich dictatorial countries over the foreign policy of the US; no more wars of aggression; no more Ukrainian-style US-inspired “revolutions”, which topple democratically elected governments in favour of murderous dictatorial regimes.

And no more of the US policy of bullying European countries, and “peaceful relations” with Russia.

Each of these kinds of changes is important for the future of the world and Trump is the only US presidential candidate who is likely to bring the blessing of fulfilling these wonderful ideas.

Neutrality over Israel is not a bad thing at all, because Israel is the one who should make decisions regarding peace with the Palestinian Authority – if such a kind of peace can be achieved. Obviously, giving up its independence and demonising other peoples for the sake of appeasing bullies, is bad for Israel.

And for example, how many lives of Boer farmers could have been saved, had Israel refrained from arguing about whether it is an apartheid state or not? This is because talking about how “terrible” apartheid was (and indeed it is not the ideal kind of rule, but in the situation of South Africa it was at least understandable).

Indeed, the Jewish community happily thrived in South Africa back then. This only fuels black-on-white hate and violence.
