 possible mutual defense treaty between the two nations,

Would this mean Israel won't attack US Navy ships like it did when it bombed the USS Liberty?

The USS **Liberty incident* was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty*, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War.[2] The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship.[3]

it would strip Israel of military autonomy.

Are they seriously denying the US has NOT been involved in Israeli military?

Great. Donny wants to create a situation in which the human rights abusing Israelis can drag us into one of their wars of aggression. No thanks.

So if Israel lied and attacked Iran in "self defense" claiming that Iran was about to attack first, as Israel did in the 67 War against Egypt, then America would be dragged into a ruinous war with Iran.

And this only two days after it was discovered Israel was spying on America -- again. 

Trump is the biggest idiot to ever occupy the White House.

Trump and Netanyahu are two of the most corrupt politicians in the Western world - the sooner they get thrown out, the better.

Both countries deserve more honest, competent leaders that work for the people versus their own pocketbook....

Do you have anyone in mind? I don't see anyone out there that is any better. In the last election, Clinton was definitely more corrupt.

The last time I saw a decent, honest, intelligent candidate was Ron Paul; the MSM did everything they could to destroy him...
