Dan Shapiro: ‘Trump Has Made It Very Clear that He Seeks to Weaponize the Issue of Israel in America’s Partisan Political Wars’

‘He calls Democrats an anti-Israel, anti-Jewish party; these are absurd slurs and they should be rejected by everybody’

EXCERPT:

SHAPIRO: "Well, President Trump has made it very clear that he seeks to weaponize the issue of Israel in America’s partisan political wars. He calls Democrats an anti-Israel, anti-Jewish party. These are absurd slurs and they should be rejected by everybody. But Prime Minister Netanyahu has made his close partnership with President Trump, who’s fairly popular in Israel, a very central part of his re-election campaign. He’s running in a very closely contested election in about one month from now. He drapes buildings in Tel Aviv with posters of him and President Trump shaking hands and grinning at each other. And so he is afraid to have any daylight between himself and President Trump.”
