Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush said his brother, former U.S. President George W. Bush, was “the strongest friend to Israel in modern history,” and that if elected, he has no intention of pursuing a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or of pressuring Israel back to the negotiating table.
In a preview of an interview with Bush by the Jewish Insider, the Republican nominee said that his brother’s presidency will be his model when it comes to the relations between the U.S. and Israel, and leveled the responsibility for the stalemate in the peace process on the Palestinians. The interview will be published in full over the weekend.
Citing the example set up by his brother, Bush said that the U.S. must not force Israel into negotiations with the Palestinians until they have the credibility and the political legitimacy to commit and enforce a deal with Israel. The Palestinians, he added, must recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state “inside safe and secure borders.”
Bush, who has only 8 percent of Republicans behind him according to the latest Ipsos/Reuters poll, added two further pre-conditions to any attempt by an administration led by him to restart talks between the sides: “Not until they [the Palestinians] stop the hatred of the Jewish State, and of Jews in general; not until they stop teaching their children to hate Israelis,” he said in the interview.
Bush also attempted to allay concerns by conservative U.S. Jews over his foreign policy advisor James Baker, who reportedly said “f*** the Jews” in a private conversation while serving as secretary of state for Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush. Last year, Baker voiced criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying at a J Street conference that he was “disappointed” with his attitude toward the two-state solution. In the interview, Bush said that Baker is a “statesman, he’s a friend, but he’s not providing advice as it relates to Israel.”

Jeb meant to say, “It’s between my Dad, brother, and Dick Cheney as to who deserves top spot for biggest traitor ever!” Henry Kissinger deserves the award for killing the most. Slick Willie deserves the title,” Most Perverted” Obama deserves no title other than history’s most loathed piece of shit. Hillary deserves nothing but extended, excruciating torture that her and Bill have put us all through. As far as Rubio and Cruz, toss ’em back on the turnip truck, they ain’t eligible. Trump, OMG, what can one say about “The Donald?” He may get the nod, not that he’ll be “elected.” Hillary’s stench will take awhile to clear out unless she pop’s out another “rotten egg.” Then, get your gas mask!
I just think he banged his head the hardest on that f**king wall in Zioland.
That universally disqualifies anyone from an official position of power or control in this country. Traitor Automaticus. That’s Greek, I think.
Now he’s got “post-concussion Tribal moronic sycophant syndrome.”
No cure.
I most certainly agree, no Dual-citizen Israeli should be allowed to hold office.
Brother.
I’m behind that 110%.
I think Jeb is the one who fell off the swing and hit his on the cement when he was a kid. George Jr. was the one who couldn’t figure out you needed two people on the seesaw at recess.
I was the kid that pushed the swing to hard and high for Jeb.
Then jumped off the monkey bars onto the high end of the seesaw for George Jr. That’s why they’re kind of slow.

Why is he still breathing?
