I concur most wholeheartedly. Ambassador Bolton has long been a great friend to Israel. As far back as the 1990s, when he was Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs at the Department of State (1989–1993), John Bolton coordinated the successful effort to rescind the United Nations resolution from the 1970s that had equated Zionism with racism.
A righteous gentile, indeed.
Israeli ministers praise appointment of John Bolton
Naftali Bennett, Ze’ev Elkin, Ayelet Shaked, Michael Oren welcome Trump’s new national security adviser as ‘a stalwart friend of Israel’
By TOI staff and AFP, March 23, 2018:
Two ministers from the right-wing Jewish Home party and another from the ruling Likud party congratulated former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton on Friday for his appointment as US President Donald Trump’s new national security adviser.
Education Minister Naftali Bennett tweeted that it was a “great appointment” and that Bolton, considered a foreign policy hawk who is opposed to the Iran nuclear deal, was a “stalwart friend of Israel.”
Environment Minister Ze’ev Elkin of Likud said Bolton was “not unknown to Israel.
Great appointment of Amb. John Bolton, an extraordinary security expert, experienced diplomat and a stalwart friend of Israel.

“He has been, unquestionably, a friend of Israel for many years, including in his position as US ambassador to the UN,” Elkin told Tel Aviv radio station 102 FM. “I have no doubt it will be comfortable for us to work with him.”
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked posted in Hebrew that “President Trump continues to appoint true friends of Israel to senior positions. John Bolton is one of the most outstanding.”
She praised Bolton as an “excellent appointment” who brought to the job “great experience and original thinking.” She added that “the Trump administration is emerging as the most sympathetic administration toward Israel of all time.”
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked arrives for the weekly government meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, December 17, 2017. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)Deputy Minister for Diplomacy Michael Oren (Kulanu) also welcomed Bolton’s appointment, saying that it signalled the end of the Iran nuclear accord and a tougher US line toward the Palestinians.
“The days of the nuclear agreement, which is terrible in its current form, are nearing an end,” he told Hebrew-language media.
“From now on Abu Mazen will have to think twice before deciding to spit on President Trump or his representatives,” he said, referring to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Trump announced in a tweet that Bolton, a former UN ambassador, was to replace General H.R. McMaster, in a move pundits said called the future of the Iran deal into serious doubt.
I am pleased to announce that, effective 4/9/18, @AmbJohnBolton will be my new National Security Advisor. I am very thankful for the service of General H.R. McMaster who has done an outstanding job & will always remain my friend. There will be an official contact handover on 4/9.

A vocal advocate of the Iraq war, he has also championed pre-emptive strikes against North Korea and regime change in Iran — making him an outlier even among Republicans.His appointment had been fiercely opposed by many within Trump’s inner circle, most notably the coterie of military officers surrounding the president.
Bolton — a veteran of the George W. Bush administration — will now have a central role in crafting US foreign policy, including refereeing debates between America’s spooks, soldiers and diplomats.
But his most potent role will be framing the security decisions that make it to Trump’s desk.

I think Bolton would’ve made an excellent president, too bad he didn’t run.

While Bolton would end up like Adlai Stevenson if he ran on an anti-muslim ticket he might get enough votes from the sane people in the USA to make a difference.

LOL ! Agree. That is why the world needs Trump.
As long as the Longest running Lie “Islam has nothing to with terrorism/jihad” continue the infiltration and stealth subversion will continue.
Its upto every patriot who wants to defend their country by sharing info like this http://bit.ly/2rF8pfo
Bolton gets it and that is why CAIR was opposing his appointment and Pro-jihadi Left are trying to smear him as Russian Agent.

Two mercurial personalities controlling US foreign policy doesn’t augur well, in my book, even if they are two overgrown Irish lads.

Now that McMaster has been tossed into the recycling-bin with the arrival of his replacement Bolton, Israel realizes that the U.S./Trump, Israel alliance is stabilized. McMaster, known for his anti-Israel mindset should have been tossed long ago. Better late than never. The MSM is fear mongering, predicating the world as we know it will soon end. Hopefully, with Bolton as the new NSA, the rogue states, Iran, North Korea and every jihadi realizes the world is changing. They will not be pampered and mollycoddled as they were by Obama, his comrade Democrats and the Cowardly EU.

Wow this is great news and gives me hope for the future!
Especially after watching the new horrible movie by left wing Hollywood 7 Days in Entebbe. Save your money the originals were better Operation Thunderbolt and Raid in Entebbe.

I’ve been saying for a long time now that the President should dump McMaster and replace him with someone else. McMaster was not tough enough on Islam always calling it a peaceful religion. Bolton is great and really knows his stuff if you know what I mean. I was wondering why President Trump wasn’t using his expertise in his administration. Hopefully this will work out and is a good match. Let’s hope so!

For once we have adopted the “Israeli method” in an endeavor where it counts, namely international relations. Now if we could only get our sh*t together regarding airport security and hardening of our schools against armed assault the way they have.
There is a photo that has made the rounds on the web of a young female Israeli school teacher with her elementary students on a field trip with an M-1 carbine hanging from her right shoulder in ready position. You go, girl!
