Ilana Mercer writes<\/a>: Nationhood is for Jews, but not for gentiles. This is what disgusts me about Israeli politicians, pundits and now Bibi Netanyahu, worshiped by neocons. The prime minister and his Knesset take as a given that Jews should be able to do what is necessary to protect themselves in their homeland. The protection of American lives in their homeland, on the other hand, is a far less urgent matter to these Israelis.
\nNetanyahu has openly declared that he wants to retain Israel\u2019s national character. Well of course. And so he should.

\n\u201cPrime Minister Netanyahu rejects Donald Trump\u2019s recent remarks about Muslims,\u201d according to a statement issued by the prime minister\u2019s office.
\n\u201cThe State of Israel respects all religions and strictly guarantees the rights of all its citizens. At the same time, Israel is fighting against militant Islam that targets Muslims, Christians and Jews alike and threatens the entire world,\u201d the statement said.
\nNetanyahu came under fire from dozens of members of the Israeli parliament for planning to host the controversial GOP presidential front-runner. They called on the Prime Minister to cancel his meeting with the billionaire businessman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
