U.S. needs military tough president

It is brutal to see the people killed in Gaza used as shields by Hamas. This is the thanks Israel gets for giving the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians.

The sympathy goes to Palestine, but if you read your history over 2,000 years ago, the Romans drove Jesus out of the area. The land was so neglected until it was given to Israel in 1948. They developed and irrigated and it became fertile and prosperous.

I'll never understand how so many Jewish people in the United States are so left wing. George W. Bush was our most pro-Israeli president. If Israel loses its land, we could lose all our Christian holy sites.

It is scary when we have a weak president. I hope our next one will be military tough, like 'Bebe.”
