I wonder. Let's not forget that this is the same dude who called arch-Israel defender Pamela Geller "an obnoxious blowhard," and also said that the United States should remain "neutral" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Plus he has anti-Semitic bloodlines: His father was a notorious anti-Semite (and racist).

What exactly does the US gain from involving itself in the persistent fight between cousins? (Remember the Jews claim to be the children of Issac and the Arabs the children of Ishmael)?

As for Trump's father: Yeah...so what? The man is dead. I've yet to see anyone paint Daddy with the "zomg he's a racist/sexist/homophobe/transphobe/whateverist" label successfully. That his opponents have to resort to such tactics reveals how little they have to offer.
