Menendez bashes Trump, says being pro-Israel is being open

Addressing talks over defense aid, he says it is his hope the US will fully fund all three US-Israel joint missile defense programs, plus the Iron Dome system.

He accuses other countries of offering little, but Israel offering much, such as education and liberty.

He then slams Donald Trump, without using his name.

“Sometimes I must say when I look at the vitriol I am reminded why being pro-Israel has always meant following our better angels … welcoming rather than refusing refugees … solving problems … rather than blaming the other across the border or across the world.”
