Israel and Zionism

Pretty much everyone but the Israelis have p*ssed all over the plan.

Terrorist states, including Iran, surprisingly don’t like the USA’s plan!

Quelle surprise!

Turkey panned it, Jordon was skeptical and not one faction of the Palestinians did not say it was DOA. Great peace plan, when the guys you need to support the plan say no way. So what is the point in proposing a peace plan that is DOA? That was totally predictable to be DOA. What's the point of a terrorist state (the USA) proposing the plan? -- the Palestinian / Arab perspective.

This plan has contributed nothing, zip, nada to regional peace. It has only served to reinforce the Palestinian / Arab perspective - the US is far from an honest broker. This was pure and simple for the consumption of Israelis and US evangelicals. No Nobel Peace Prize for the POS in Chief.

I saw this today:

Reading 25 books on the Israel-Palestine conflict and becoming an expert on peace in the Middle East is about as likely as reading the Harry Potter series and becoming a wizard.

A question - Did Jared stay in a Holiday Inn Express before finalizing this deal?

Bibi is in Russia ostensibly to pick up Israeli-American citizen jailed for marijuana possession who Vlad pardoned from serving a 7 year sentence. Vlad just re-upping another world leader with a little graft to help in his re-election for further favors down the road.

Beginning to think EVERYONE is corrupt.

You know what is truly amusing? The so called anti-globalist parties, the nationalists, are all internationalizing crime. Globalists can relax; these nationalist clowns will more effectively make an argument for global government than the globalist ever could. Ma and Pa kettle are going to be surprised.

"BREAKING: The Foreign Ministers of the Arab League unanimously adopt a resolution rejecting the Trump peace plan" Arab League members include Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE among others.

I guess Jared's reading list needs to be expanded....and his smug interview on CNN trashing Bolton, Mattis, Tillerson, McMaster and Kelly was disgusting. Someone should just punch the little twerp in the face.

Prince Jared's interview with Amanpour is just mortifying. His cloying effort to give credit to the President is almost laughable, but it makes the skin crawl instead. "But the Israelis agreed to a map!"

I can only imagine what she thinks of him, given her experience.

Climate change and other conditions don’t respect boundary lines.

The next big challenge is WATER not oil.

You don't understand. You can't do that. It's socialism, globalism and all the other badisms. The earth is gonna do what it wants to do, except when it doesn't.

Yep.

Seems to me that water is a solvable issue, technologically.
But certainly will require massive infrastructure.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks. I do understand the water challenge in terms of power dynamics.
Haves and have nots.

I was thinking more through the longer term lens of climate change and thus desalination as being the likely solution.
But massive infrastructure required.

Absolutely. I had not read much on the impact of climate change in that region but I am going to read some articles.

Sure it is, but it will require a stable regional international platform. Not exactly a likely description of the region any time in the near future.
