3. Israel’s Independence

After World War II, the nation of Israel was made its own country to give the Jewish ethnicity a new home in 1947. During that time, the Arab League formed in part because of a severe hostility all 22 members had to this idea. In the first year of Israel and the Arab League being realities, the League waged a War of Aggression on Israel. Thus the Arab-Israeli Conflict began, and is now 68 years old and still going.

Bachmann’s knowledge of this history is far too limited for her to be a foreign policy advisor. In addition, the problem with her advising about Israel is she sides with them for the wrong reasons. She wants us to side with Israel from a traditional values and religious fundamentalist angle. Here is the problem with this angle: Israeli civility was not borne of that angle. Rather it was borne out of belief in skepticism and liberty, and this is proven by the city of Tel Aviv doing nearly all of the civil and market work of Israel. Bachmann thinks Jerusalem does all of the work in keeping Israel alive and holding up a capital city for it. Some perspective for Bachmann:

• New York City does most, if not all of America’s work in fiscally staying prosperous
• Washington DC does almost none of this legit work for America

However, Bachmann’s self-misguidance on Israel is trivial compared to Trump’s.

Trump comes right out and pretends like cooking up a deal between Israel and the Arab League is going to get the Arab League to stop harassing Israel. Perhaps asking Bill Clinton and George W. Bush how that worked out is a good idea, as both tried this and in both cases the League proved to us in action that it was lying.
