Trump Just Offered His Complete Support for Israel's Colonization of Palestine

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has finally expressed his complete and utter support for Israel’s expansion of settlements in occupied Palestine — a day after Ted Cruz dropped out of the race.

Despite the U.S.’s ongoing financial, political and military support for Israel, Trump’s stance is a departure from the current U.S. political establishment, which has publicly denounced the settlements as illegal and said the building of them should be stopped.

Trump has also expressed his support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, referring to him as a “very good guy” and suggested the two would likely “have a very good relationship.”

Reflecting on incumbent President Barack Obama’s policies on Israel, in a recent interview with the Daily Mail Trump said: “I think President Obama has been extremely bad to Israel.”

He also referred to the U.S.-brokered nuclear deal with Iran as “a disaster for Israel.”

Meanwhile, at the recent AIPAC convention in Washington, Trump criticized the "anti-Israeli" Palestinian media and education system and promised to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, calling it the “eternal capital of the Jewish people.”

Although Trump has been consistent in his support for Israel, his latest statements contradict what the Republican candidate had said just a few weeks ago: that if elected president, he would remain “neutral” on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
