Trump can't be trusted on Israel

During the Republican debate, Trump was the only GOP candidate who stated he would be "neutral" between Israel and the Palestinians. Even Hillary is more pro Israel than the Trump. Of course Trump may change his tone now, in an effort to get as many votes as possible for the general election...but can he be trusted on anything?

He is not a true conservative. He doesn't read the Bible, and I he has flip flopped on many occaisions, examples being he doesn't know who David Duke is, and then finally condemning the KKK leader and saying he would ban all Muslims from coming into the country and now claimng that was merely a "suggestion". Bottom line, is Trump cannot be trusted because he has changed his mind multiple times, and is no a true conservative or Zionist, and has not even highlighted any policy details.

Even assuming he is Pro Israel - which he is not - HOW will he be pro Israel? The man who treats everything as a business deal is he the one who will just hand over the billions Israel needs to defend itself when the renegotiate next year?
