I think Israel has plans to do this themselves.

Then they should go right ahead. Trump's team looking to do this sounds more like Israel First policy. I don't see how you can be America First if you're beholden to the whims of the Jewish State.

You don't see how a an unstable state that uses terrorism as its preferred foreign policy tool getting nuclear weapons would be bad for the US?

Also, why "Jewish State," and not Israel? Why focus on the religion of the country you imply controls the US president?

They probably called it The Jewish State to draw a comparison to the Islamic State.

I hope so, although ISIS isn't mentioned elsewhere in the thread. It is just troubling when people combine Jewish and politicians being controlled, so I was hoping for clarification.
