He’s not even President yet, but with one single Facebook post PEOTUS Donald Trump has just done more to defend Israel than Obama’s done in eight years!

So much for the #FakeNews narrative that Trump’s the leader of America’s anti-Semitic bloc. On the other hand, go to almost any lefty protest these days and you’ll witness chants of “Long live the intifada!”
Here’s Trump’s full statement:
The resolution being considered at the United Nations Security Council regarding Israel should be vetoed.
As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations.
This puts Israel in a very poor negotiating position and is extremely unfair to all Israelis.
