President Trump’s Deal of the Century to Bring Permanent Peace to the Arab-Israel Conflict

A peace plan that is DOA?

We will know soon enough what is in President Trump’s Deal of the Century to Bring Permanent Peace to the Arab-Israel Conflict.

Those who think he’s got things sorted with North Korea and Iran can afford to be optimistic.

The rest of us cannot take seriously his plan for it will be released under farcical circumstances. 

Our PM is indicted. Trump is impeached. 

Israelis are heading to elections -- in a matter of weeks.

Moreover, an imposed peace plan is bad – even if it is imposed on our enemies. That's always been Israel's position. And for good reason.

The idea that you can make peace without a partner is Trumpian. The Palestinian Arabs will not even discuss Trump’s Plan so how can it lead to peace with security?

It might exacerbate the violence. It might unleash a third intifada. And for what?

How can Israelis accept a Palestinian Arab state that does not recognize the inalienable rights of the Jewish people to a national homeland in this land.

Only that recognition would signal an end to Palestinian Arab rejection of Israel's right to exist.

As for a demilitarized Palestine? How’s that idea working so far in Hamas-controlled Gaza?

We should have been using the time provided by Trump’s Absurdist Presidency to figure out what we Israelis want, what is achievable, and what is in our long-term interest.

We should be trying to get our own house in order. 

Instead, Netanyahu is rolling his dice with Trump. And with our future.

An Observation About Jew-haters as 2019 Draws to a close

I’ve observed that Jew-haters of color go after Jews who “look the part.” 

“Cracka” anti-Semites will target Jews who don’t necessarily look the part. 

Islamists show no clear preference in how they unleash their anti-Jewish violence. 

Nonetheless, the Jews fight among themselves, over which set of the Jew-haters is the vilest and most dangerous.

Whatever our tribal differences -- the enemy is willing to see past them. In this respect they may be more broadminded then we are.
