For years, Israel has made no secret of its desire for a Republican president, reasoning that Republicans are "more supportive" than Democratic presidents towards Israel (meaning Republicans generally turn a blind eye towards Israeli atrocities).
Then came Trump.
Trump says he's Israel's best friend, and always will be.
But then he said the one word that makes a Likkudite (Fascist) Israeli's blood run cold: NEUTRAL.
Trump claimed he'd be "neutral" on Israeli settlements in Palestine. "Neutral" is used as a pejorative in the Israeli press to indicate a lack of support for Mother Israel.
Worse, Trump says he has the personality to force Israeli and Palestinians to sit down and work out a peaceful solution.
"Peace", of course, is an abomination to the Likkud party, which maintains its tenuous grip on the Israeli government with its "all war, all the time" platform.
