‘Trump seriously considering embassy move’
Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday addressed the 2017 AIPAC policy conference, where he expressed gratitude to Jews in America who helped elect President Donald Trump and stressed the administration’s unwavering commitment to Israel.
“I’m proud to call [Trump] my friend. I’m proud to call him my president, but I was never more proud when, at the outset of his first address to Congress, he condemned the vandalism and hate against Jewish communities in the United States,” said Pence.
“Under President Donald Trump, the world will know this: America stands with Israel! President Trump stands with Israel because her cause is our cause. Her values are our values. And her fight is our fight.”
Pence noted that during Trump’s recent meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, the President stressed the strong relationship with Israel and said that the relationship will become even stronger.
“We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all who call her home,” said Pence. “And I say with confidence: President Trump and I stand without apology for Israel and we always will!”
Among the pro-Israel actions taken by Trump was the appointment of Nikki Haley as UN ambassador, who will ensure that “the United Nations will no longer be used as a forum for invective against Israel,” continued the Vice President.
He also cited the appointment of David Friedman as ambassador to Israel, saying, “This week it will be my high honor to administer the oath of office to Ambassador David Friedman.
In addition, Pence referred to Trump’s campaign promise to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“After decades of talking about it, the President is giving serious consideration to moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,” he said.
Trump is also dedicated to finding a solution to the Israel-Palestinian Authority conflict but at the same time “will never compromise the safety and security of the State of Israel”, Pence stressed.
“President Trump has made it clear: America stands alongside Israel as friends and as allies. America’s security support for Israel is at a record level. Our commitment to Israel’s defense is non-negotiable. Not now, not ever,” he declared.
“In President Trump, America has a leader who will call our enemies by their name,” said Pence, who noted the terrorist attack in London last week in which “radical Islamic terrorism reared its ugly head.”
“We will hunt down and destroy ISIS and its source, so it can no longer threaten our people, our allies or our most cherished ally, Israel.”
“America will stand strong I the face of the leading state sponsor of terrorism. This administration has put Iran on notice. The Ayatollahs in Iran openly admit their desire to destroy Israel. Let me be clear: Under President Donald Trump, the United States of America will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. This is our solemn promise to you, to Israel and to the world!” stressed Pence.
finally there is a president that at least recognises the reality of Israel and its enemies!
Every day since January 20 th I wake up and don’t have to worry how Barack Obama is going
To screw Israel. Thank President Trump for that.
Maybe if so many stupid Jews would support the President instead of vilifying him………..he would do better for Israel.
Dean Blake.. Before calling all goyim double crossers, let us give him the benefit of the doubt until we see what really happens.
Like all other goyim, we’ll get double crossed. Nothing has changed, except the intensity of the lies and flattery.

The report didn’t tell us about the most important things, only the froth, all well known and tiresomely platitudinous. He was not asked about the Obama holdovers who were reappointed into important positions in the Trump Government, and if he was asked, the report doesn’t show any replies
A typical subject for an investigative reporter, about the crappy pap that the media has been feeding us, the common, SIMPLE people who, supposedly, only read the headlines anyway….The real news is,…..that there are some of us who are not THAT simple…and are not conspiracy maniacs either.
I worry when President Trump goes from “I’ll move the Embassy to Jerusalem” to “I’m seriously considering it.” There’s no way he can parse his way out of this promise, which was a major reason many Jews and Evangelist Christians voted for him. People are not just going to be disappointed, but also quite upset if he does not keep his word, and his credibility will suffer a major blow among many who count, politically.
The only thing AIPAC didn’t clap for was when Pence said that Trump wanted to reach a just and equitable peace.
