What do you think about Cruz saying the US has never targeted civilians when dropping bombs and alike, and Trump saying he wants to try to broker a deal with Israel and the Palestinians?

These two things stood out to me during the debate.

I would guess the world doesn’t forget we are the only country to drop atomic bombs on cities. Let alone other times we knew there would be civilian deaths during various wars.

Trump talked about wanting to be neutral towards the Palestinians to facilitate a deal with Israel, and the 3 other candidates on the stage said it’s basically foolish to try to deal with the Palestinians now. Do you agree? Then what should we do? Help Israel destroy and conquer? Just leave it all alone, keep the status quo over there?

Some other things that caught my attention:

Trump very plainly said a lot of the Muslims are bad. They want to kill us, they chop off hands and heads and treat women terribly. What do you think about him saying that? He isn’t saying they are all bad, he is saying there is a serious problem though. I think most jellies here probably do flat out disagree with women having less freedoms, less opportunity to be independent, and living under the threat of being killed for what we consider not worthy of such punishment. Trump has been vocal about the Saudis for years. Way back right after 9/11 he was talking about them, maybe before, that I don’t know.

One last discussion point. Trump talks about increasing tariffs if trade is not more equal. Cruz argues than the American consumer will wind up paying more for goods. Trump argues we will bring more manufacturing back home. What’s your opinion on the topic?
