]]>I don’t know where Kushner stands on these issues but I guess he too is behind this? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/11/us/politics/jared-kushner-israel.html?_r=0
Zeldin, has visited Israel and sides with the right wingers in Isreal. But the Israeli political landscape is complicated and includes something like 11 parties! http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2015/03/economist-explains-11
The Economist explains The evolution of Israeli politics
very well: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.economist.com_blogs_economist-2Dexplains_2015_03_economist-2Dexplains-2D11&d=DwMGaQ&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=uN4MDH6hqNNQdKoJvioAaoSINnSvQuCUBQO-l_ngdQs&m=8MKq3rO0N2AAhd8nIQOYDMKhw2TZMEvTUNrGuMXBgKs&s=2RapWV1fsP5JXBEFDH-79MVsEnscg4VkWExMyB4BSRk&e=
There are of course the US-based Jewish groups where the infighting rivals the Knesset. I have one question: Does Zeldin take money from Sheldon Adelson?
I think this is important because your average American voter has reduced the issue to “pro-Israel or against Israel”. And so Americans are lining up all too often with the Israeli right wing parties and they don’t even know it! Nor do they understand the goals of those right-wing groups in Israel or the danger of another war in the Middle East.
I think your average Zeldin voter on Long Island is completely unaware of how Trump/Zeldin may be dragging us into a foreign quagmire that certainly is not a priority for Suffolk county voters. However, I quote a friend who said: “the average Trump/Zeldin voter in CD1 doesn’t give a shit”. Perhaps, when Zeldin visits Israel, the line should be “get you ass back home, you were not elected to solve Israel’s problems, you were elected to make CD1 great again!” But maybe it’s those Adelson dollars he is really after?
