Snapshots are not the big picture, but I guess anti trump is in vogue. <br /><br />We need to see the positives. The PM (and foreign ministry) were involved with the trip planning. Are they complaining. <br /><br />We should be jumping for joy that his first trip is to Israel and he didn't ignore Israel like Obama did in lieu of his Arab country visit. The schedulers may not have totally understood the significance of Yad Vashem. This may be changed after all. Let's see. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411958894593823280.post-47069737309614247822017-05-20T14:12:29.779+03:002017-05-20T14:12:29.779+03:00I’ve been following the Trump Administration fairl...I’ve been following the Trump Administration fairly carefully - but only in the popular (or unpopular) press. Based on what I’ve observed, Mr. Trump is a much better friend to Israel than the previous occupant of the White House (for sure) and he may rank among the best friends among Presidents.<br /><br />Please consider that the glass is half full (or 15 minutes full), and it is a compliment that he comes to Israel. I don’t think a short visit diminishes the feelings of the President.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411958894593823280.post-79376153376041139502017-05-20T13:35:48.541+03:002017-05-20T13:35:48.541+03:00Absolutely right.
