JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: ARTICLE CLAIMS THE POSSIBILITY OF TRUMP RAISES FEAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST - THE TRUTH IS HE RAISES FEAR IN ONLY ONE PLACE - AND THAT FEAR IS WHAT GENERATES ALL THESE ATTACKS


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


"Prospect of Republican hopeful becoming US President sparks fear in the Middle East"

True only so far as this: he sparks fear in Israel.

Israel is afraid that its cozy, protected, heavily subsidized world, a world almost without demands upon it, might change.

That's what all the attacks on Trump are about, just like the humbug anti-Semitism now going on in Britain because Israel does not like Corbyn.

Israel does not like any independent-minded leader.

That's what has generated the whole horror of Syria.
