From the ranting over President Trumps comments on the two-state solution to the revival of the vile dual loyalty charge against American Jews, liberals have gone unhinged over Trump and Israel.

Talking of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict Wednesday, Trump said: Im looking at a two-state and a one-state [solution], and I like the one that both parties like.

The New York Times huffed that hed dangerously backed away; the LA Times, that hed demolished the two-state solution. The Daily News snarked of his ignorance.

Sorry, the ignorance is all on the part of Trumps critics. He simply declined to endorse a Palestinian state for now, preferring instead to defer to the parties.

For the record, a poll out of Israel on Wednesday showed that most Israelis (55 percent) back two states yet only a minority of Palestinians (44 percent) do.

Israelis have long been open to a Palestinian state, if their security is assured. Palestinian leaders have spurned countless offers for just that. The barrier is that they wont accept the existence of the Jewish State.

Meanwhile, at a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) grilled Trumps pick for US envoy to Israel, David Friedman, on his loyalty to America.

We cannot have an ambassador who will bend to Israel, Menendez said, demanding the nominee affirm his loyalty and commitment to the United States.

True, Friedman has been fervent about his support for Israel. But thats no reason to question his allegiance. Doing so only feeds anti-Semitic slurs that American Jews put Israels interests above their own nations.

All this, simply because Trump wants a new approach to Mideast policy. And why not? The old one sure hasnt worked.
