1. AMERICA DOES NOT FIGHT ISRAEL'S WAR OR ISRAEL'S CONFLICTS.
oleg ,   Florida   (11.28.18)
ISRAEL ALWAYS DEFENDED ITS SELF WITHOUT AMERICA PERSONAL OR STATIONED USA TROOPS ON ITS SOIL. STUPID PEOPLE IN AMERICA WILL SAY NOW WE STAY IN THE MIDDLE EAST BECAUSE OF ISRAEL. STUPID COMMENT BY STUPID TRUMP. AMERICA STAYS WHERE IT IS BECAUSE OF BASES AND COMMERCE IN THE ARAB WORLD. THE DAY SOMEONE FIGHTS ISRAEL WARS THATS THE END OF ISRAEL.
2. US troops and Israel
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (11.28.18)
When Israel has to defend itself against (foreign) agression, does it need US support/assistence or not. I mean agression from the "islam" world-caliphate. Of course it is best when Israel can defend itself without help from another country. SECURITY AND PEACE ALSO FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND ISRAEL.
3. Strange utterance from a somewhat strange President!
(11.28.18)
4. geo-strategic considerations are crucial

israel sits on the invaluable land that connects africa, asia and europe.
israel is a shield that protects europe from many of its enemies,
including china, iran, pakistan and all of radical islam.
just imagine if israel were replaced by iran/hezbollah or the islamic
state. europe would not be able to defend itself against combined
forces of islamists.
5. Israel's Donkey, America fighting Israel's wars for them
Steve Benassi ,   Plymouth, MN USA   (11.28.18)
... costing $Billions.
6. Misquote
GHook93 ,   Chicago   (11.28.18)
He said one (meaning there are numerous reasons) is because of Israel. Meaning the US will have their back this if the Arabs nations attack again!
7. no one can rattle an audience like our boy Trump
Cameron   (11.29.18)
8. Trump is honestly wrong
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (11.29.18)
Don't expect Trump to understand why US was connected with Saudis even before Israel existed.
Since 1974 OPEC sells its crude oil in US Dollar only, effectivelly replacing the gold standard, which Nixon had to cancel in 1971, cancelling the Bretten Woods agreement. This made the US to superpower.
50 years later US lost its manufacturing industries to all those 180 countries, who need the US$ to pay for the crude oil they don't have.
US became dependent on this scheme, since other wise its economy will shring in an instant by 50%.
Due to politically motivated sanctions against multiple economies US is undermining the very function of the main world reserve currency, namly as a reliable exchange instrument in trade.
DeDollarization is the new trend in Euroasia, Venezuela...
By 2025 US will loose its empire, Israel be ware.
