INVADING UKRAINE: PUTIN DONS RHETORIC OF ANTI-ISRAEL JIHAD, IMPLICITLY THREATENS ABRAHAM ACCORDS

PUTIN RHETORIC RINGS ALL TOO FAMILIAR: "UKRAINE IS NOT A COUNTRY... IS ENGAGED IN GENOCIDE... IS RULED BY NAZIS...  MUST BE LIBERATED FROM OCCUPATION... IS A PUPPET OF THE DECADENT WEST.."

THE ONLY EXPLICIT WORDS NOT SPOKEN...  "UKRAINE'S 'ILLEGITIMATE' LEADER IS A JEWISH MONKEY-PIG-DOG."

Putin rhetoric behind the Russian invasion of Ukraine must be seen for the anti-semitic play that it is, seeking not only to undermine the democratic inspiration of Ukraine, but, also to lynch Israel's success and Jewish success in the global world; and, Ukraine is the linchpin of Putin's design to see, born again, the wheels of Russian world power.

Although at the local level the present conflict in Ukraine may be perceived as a civil war between divergent branches of the Kievan Rus tree of life; and, although sorting out legitimate claims of Ukrainian and Russian perspectives may be a challenge; the significance of the present conflict to the larger world must not be ignored; most especially it cannot be ignored by Israel.

The unmistakeabley anti-semitic, anti-Israel rhetoric of Putin tolls so loudly that many may not recognize it; the resounding noise may register only subliminally, a drone-like background noise so relentlessly present that it is overlooked and ignored or blocked out by natural auditory defenses.  

Putin's rhetoric has just put Israel on notice that all bets are off with respect to any future positive relationship with Russia; and, Putin's rhetoric has at least made a play for Arab sympathy.  It is not impossible that both the Arabs and Iranians already are waiting in the wings to protect Putin's back. 

Anti-semitic Europe is already paranoid of Arabs from within and of Russians from without, needing Arabs and Russians for economic reasons, reluctant to be torn apart by war, and of questionable security value to European Jewish citizens or to Israel.  Anti-semitism in the US is on the rise, and the Biden Administration has withdrawn US favor for the development of an Israel-Europe natural gas pipeline. 

The present threat posed (by Putin's vision for a Greater Russia) to future positive Israeli relations with Europe as well as to the Abraham Accords is too palpable to ignore.  Western sanctions of Russia may easily crumble in the face of Russia's present large financial reserves and the capacity of finance in the Muslim world to bypass western markets to engage the possible benefits of business with Russia.  Given the risks, Israel, the US, and NATO must find a way to protect Ukraine from Putin, and to do so while avoiding nuclear war or even extensive conventional war. 

AN ALTERNATE FUTURE: BEN & JERRY "ABRAHAM ACCORDS ICE CREAM"

Pistachio... Vanilla... Mocha... Honey... Chopped Pistachios... Halva....

Presumably, an ice cream manufacturer is in the business of producing and marketing ice cream, not political divisiveness. But, this is exactly what Ben & Jerry and Unilever are doing, when they enable the evil politics of Jihadism.

Nowhere is this Jihadism more pernicious than in the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) campaign being waged throughout the world by Jew-Hating, Israel-Hating Bigots. This campaign includes the ICC (the so-called International Court of Justice) that presumes to rule the world via the UN (United Nations), as if it's seat in Belgium -- a country that so easily rolled over for the Nazis, like a happy-go-lucky whore -- could presume to dispense justice to such nations as the USA and Israel, countries that stand up for freedom.

Now what do Ben & Jerry, the ICC, and Jihadism have in common? And how can the ice cream of Ben & Jerry, which is under the Kosher Supervision of CHOF-K (a most prestigious authority of Kashruth), be anti-Jewish and anti-Israel?

This latter question is easy to answer, but the doing would mean that CHOF-K would have to value Kashruth more than Greenbacks. It should not even be a question that CHOF-K should immediately revoke it's Kashruth Certification of Ben & Jerry products. There should be no cognitive dissonance about this, whatsoever... none, nada, zilch. In fact a new Non-Kosher Certification should be created for Ben & Jerry and similar Jihad accommodating firms: "CIRCLE ZILCH".

When "freedom of speech" is allowed to flourish as the skirt under which BDS is permitted free legal license by the ICC and by Ben & Jerry, there is the beginning of commonality between the triad of Jihadism, ICC, and Ben & Jerry. Thankfully, at least in the USA, there is great and growing legal strength in opposition to such a license for BDS. Ironically, Israel is the greater question mark... after all, Israel permits "Al-Naqba" celebrations!

What is unique is that Ben & Jerry, by insisting that it's ice cream may not be sold in "Occupied Palestinian Territory", though it may be sold in "Israel", presumes that there are well-defined borders (by none less than the ICC) that would create a State of Palestine and simultaneously shrink Israel, ignoring that the land in question is legitimately disputed and ignoring that from the "Palestinian" point of view, "Occupied Palestine" includes all of Israel.

So in acceding to the ICC perspective, Ben & Jerry grants legitimacy to the ICC, grants legitimacy to Jihadism and BDS, and undermines the legitimacy of Israel and the USA.

At the business level, Ben & Jerry and the ICC not only grant legitimacy to Jihadism and BDS; they also drive wedge after wedge between Kashruth and the businesses that support Kashruth.

The Kashruth industry should take a lesson from Benjamin Franklin, who famously said, "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

No Kashruth organization should enable the ICC or Jihadism or BDS against Israel; all Kashruth organizations should deny Kashruth Certification to Ben & Jerry's and to similar businesses accommodating the ICC, Jihadism, and BDS.

Unilever should set the example for all parent companies of subsidiary firms that would give aid and succor to enemies of both peace and civil rights by requiring such firms to toe the line in favor of democracy and against anti-semitism (the BDS campaign is anti-semitism, disguised as free speech against Israel).

Unilever should and must assert itself over Ben & Jerry (1) by speaking in public against Ben & Jerry; (2) by requiring that Ben & Jerry reverse course, walk back it's one-sided bigotry against Israel, and reverse it's illegal policy; and (3) by requiring Ben & Jerry to create a new flavor of ice cream extolling peaceful coexistence of Jews and Arabs in Israel and in the ME (Middle East).

Ben & Jerry "Abraham Accords Ice Cream", anyone?

I imagine "Abraham Accords Ice Cream" as a Pistachio ice cream swirled with Vanilla ice cream, mocha ice cream, and embedded with Halva, chopped Pistachios, and drops of honey...!!!!

Wowowowowow...!!! It's worth making peace, just to be able to eat the ice cream...!!!!

In The News: Ben & Jerry's Boycott

William Daroff, CEO of the Conference of Presidents, di

DOES THE PRESENCE OF MANSOUR ABBAS IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNING COALITION SIGNAL A ONE-STATE OR A TWO-STATE SOLUTION?

AND WHAT MAY AN ISRAELI "CHANGING OF THE GUARD" MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL, FOR A "STATE OF PALESTINE", FOR THE RAND CORPORATION'S "ARC PLAN",  AND FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR ASPIRATIONS?

<https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/lapid-tells-rivlin-new-government-ready-669937>

RAND CORPORATION "ARC PLAN"

FOR A "STATE OF PALESTINE"

<https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9119.html>

THE REAL STORY IS THAT -- UNLESS THE LAPID-LED COALITION GOVERNMENT FAILS TO OCCUR, AND IF NETANYAHU REMAINS IN POWER -- EITHER WAY, MANSOUR ABBAS WILL HAVE A TOP LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, ESTABLISHING ARAB PRESENCE INTO THE MINISTERIAL AND SECURIY ROLES  OF ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AT A CLEARANCE LEVEL NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT.

So what does this mean?

Is this a "kumbayah" moment in Israeli history between the Jews and the Arabs within the boundaries of Israel? 

Or is this a pivotal moment towards the creation of something that never before existed in history, a State of Palestine?

 

The clue to answering this question is to remember the Rand Corporation "Arc" Plan for a "State of Palestine", to remember the likely Biden role in this Plan, and to remember the Roman Road to Masada (the breaching of Masada is the relentless model of European/American Policy towards Israel).  

Above are a few images and a link to detailed information about the Rand Plan, which uses "Jacob's Ladder" as a geographic template by which to bifurcate Israel while linking Gaza, the "West Bank", and Haifa.  This linkage creates a transportaion contiguity between Gaza and the "West Bank" (Judea-Samaria), disrupting Israel and making for a contiguous "State of Palestine", also integrating this new "State" into Israel's north at the Israeli port city of Haifa.

How such a Plan makes for Israeli security is beyond imagination, as it posits an imaginary reality of a desire and will to peace from "Palestininan" entities that are committed to Israel's annihilation.

Where may Mansour Abbas fit in?  

There are three possibilities: (1) immediately obvious roles for Mansour Abbas in the highest levels of Israel's Government; (2) resurrection of Left-Wing Zionism's vestigal teleology to see a joint Jewish-Arab "One-State Solution" [called either "Palestine" or "Israel"] uniting the "West Bank" and "Gaza" with "Israel"; or, (3) a working relationship between Israel's Jewish leadership and Masour Abbas that may ultimately lead to Israeli divestment of East Jerusalem to enable a "State of Palestine" capitolled in East Jerusalem with Mansour Abbas as leader of the new "State of Palestine" (he may be the only anti-Zionist political figure with sufficient stature to broker a "State of Palestine" into existence in which Hamas and Fatah and Israeli Arabs (who may prefer to live as citizens of a "State of Palestine") may co-exist and share  government. 

Demographics and facts on the ground determine the politics even as the politics may determine the facts on the ground or even the demographics. 

 

Facts in the air also determine the politics: missiles and tunnels from Gaza, missiles and tunnels from Lebanon, missiles (possibly nuclear) and the "land bridge" from Iran through Iraq, Jordan, and Syria into Israel....

Most important may not be whether or not it is Lapid or Bennett or Netanyahu in the PM role, so much as the deeper meaning of the presence of Mansour Abbas in the Government, and the ability of a unity government to act with versatility and flexibility in the best interests of the State of Israel (this latter is the great question, as indications from Benny Gantz and Lapid and Bennet are that once (and if) Netanyahu is no longer in office, the reins of power will shift to a coaltion of conflicting interests that will hopefully tear each other apart before Iran goes nuclear).

NEVER FORGIVE... NEVER FORGET... NEVER AGAIN....

LINKED FOREVER 

IN SPACE-TIME AND HISTORY

 

IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE...? BEYOND ANTI-SEMITISM: WHAT COMES FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD TO MAKE WAR ON THE U.S.A.

IF YOU THINK THE STEADY INCREASE OF ANTI-JEWISH VIOLENCE IS 'MERELY' ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM, THEN THINK AGAIN... THE JIHAD (HOLY WAR OF ISLAM) HAS ALREADY COME FOR YOU... AND THE JIHAD WANTS YOU TO THINK THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE WONDERFUL, IF YOU JUST HELP THEM TO EXTERMINATE JEWS.

 

And if this already sounds familiar, it should indeed sound familiar, as both right-wing and left-wing hatred of Jews is just the beginning of totalitarian manifestations such as Chinese totalitarianism (it is illegal to practice Judaism in China or to practice many other religions in communist China), Soviet totalitarianism (it was illegal to practice Judaism and other religions in the USSR), NAZI totalitarianism (Jews were murdered almost to extinction in NAZI Europe, as were many others), and many other similar totalitarian cultural/political/military manifestations of totalitarianism.

 

If the photos in this post call to mind any historical knowledge you already possess, such as knowledge of Kristallnacht in the time of NAZI Germany, please keep in mind that the meaning behind "Free Palestine" (the current Jihadist euphemism for "annihilate Israel") is that in seeking to eliminate Israel, the Muslim Jihad seeks to eliminate not only Israel, which it labels the "Little Satan"; but, the Muslim Jihad seeks to eliminate the USA, which it labels the "Big Satan".   The Muslim Jihad already thinks of Europe as 'Eurabia'.  Please keep in mind that the Muslim Jihad allied itself with the NAZI movement during WW2 and dined with Adolf Hitler.

 

Just in case you haven't understood the gravity of what we are seeing on the streets in the USA and around the world today, we are seeing organized terrorism against every value of freedom and democracy, and the greatest tool in the exercise of Jihadist terrorism is democracy itself, beginning with the abuse of free speech in order to silence those, who would 'blaspheme' Islam; and that abuse begins with the abuse of Jews, who are an outspoken people against oppression and oppressors.  Neither the living nor the dead are sacred to the Muslim Jihad, and the Muslim Jihad has taken it to the streets of the world including right here in the USA.

Today organized Muslim Jihadists attack Jews... but, they also attack Christians, other Muslims, and anyone unwilling to bow down to their totalitarian demands.  When you see the flag of Israel burning or a Jew being beaten or Jewish cemeteries desecrated, you are also seeing the past, present, and future of the Jihadist program for everyone, Jewish or not Jewish.  The Muslim Jihad respects neither the living nor the dead.

 

NYC, LA, Baltimore, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Jerusalem... all are targets of deliberate, organized Muslim Jihadism.  Today the Israeli Flag burns... tomorrow, the American Flag burns... and all of this is delivered to us most recently on the anniversary of Al-Naqba ("The Catastrophe" of the creation of modern Israel) by the Muslim Jihad, which this year occurred essentially simultaneously to the Muslim holiday of Eid on the conclusions of Ramada, the Christian holiday of Pentacle Sunday (a Christian recognition of the Feast of Weeks), and Shavuos (referred to in English as the Feast of Weeks, when Jews celebrate the giving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, as well as the enjoyment of First Fruits of the first harvest in the Holy Land).

 

Alexander Pope famously wrote, "No man is an island unto himself.... never ask for whom the bell tolls... it tolls for thee."  In the Torah is written the commandment that Jews must eliminate the "remembrance of Amalek".  Today the mission falls upon Jews and Israel to warn the world of Amalek, which we suffer today as Muslim Jihad.

President Lincoln famously wrote in his 1862 Annual Message to Congress -- Concluding Remarks, "We cannot escape history...".  

 

One year later at Gettysburg, President Lincoln famously said, "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

 

In 1814 Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner:

 O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

 

 

 

 

 

WHO WON THE WAR

Backgammon versus Monopoly  and  "Wooden Ships"

For two-days now it seems that the ceasefire that Egypt brokered between Israel and Hamas/Islamic Jihad has held.  The result has neither achieved mutually assured destruction nor victory for anyone, although at least one commentator has suggested that the result has been a "win-win" for both sides.  

 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ORTOX-P0T8>

For the Arabs the game of life is Backgammon; for the Israelis the game of life is Monopoly.  If there is any winner, it can only be the creators of games... perhaps there is a new game that may make sense for today's world of the global internet?  Can actual war be transcended in favor of virtual war?  Can real destruction be avoided and prevented?  Real life is not holographic -- yet -- and losses and gains have consequences on the ground, below the ground, in the air, in the sea, and now even in space beyond Earth's atmosphere.  Our planet and it's resources shrink, and oligarchies rule everywhere, by whatever names they choose to market their oligarchies.  Today we live in a world of "Divine Right of Oligarchy", though we may religiously, philosophically, dogmatically insist on Right according to God, Democracy, Republicanism, Communism, Capitalism, Tribalism... and all the while we keep chasing and eating our tails.... Such is our nourishment today!!!

So...  who won the recent war between Gaza and Israel... anyone...?

 

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O69L2mO9y-4>

If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language

I can see by your coat, my friend
You're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?

Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us

Go, take your sister then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us

And it's a fair wind blowin' warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go....

Q: WHAT DO "BREXIT" AND THE "ABRAHAM ACCORDS" HAVE IN COMMON?

A:  BORDER ISSUES, SOVEREIGNTY ISSUES, TRADE ISSUES, CULTURAL ISSUES,  EXISTENTIAL ISSUES... ALL OF THESE ISSUES IN THE CONTEXT OF AN AMERICAN POLITICAL TRANSITION TO A BIDEN/HARRIS ADMINISTRATION AND THEREFORE TO ALL THAT SUCH A TRANSITION MAY MEAN IN TERMS OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE, ALIGNMENTS OF SOVEREIGNTY, CULTURE, POWER, AND EXISTENCE.

 

  

 

Modern American History (that is, the history of the North American and South American Continents commencing with the European Invasions of the Americas) is perhaps defined by the recent period of seven-centuries since the "discovery" of the New World by Non-Native Americans. 

This reality stands in marked contrast to the familiarity of the European, African, Indian, and Asian Continents with each other, having engaged each other for thousands of years in every kind of human relationship possible (e.g. culture, politics, trade, war, etc.).

While Israel (in and out of power and sovereignty) has been at the center of the Middle East for greater than three-thousand years, the North Atlantic Island Nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland (most recently by those names, and with significant variations of culture and nations) have been central to the North Atlantic and therefore to Europe and Scandinavia, also for thousands of years. 

The North Atlantic Island Nations and Israel have in common their central roles in culture and trade as well as war and politics.  The historic Silk Road connecting China and Southeast Asia to Central Asia, India, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe consisted of many river, land, and sea routes; the New Silk Road seeks to modernize the historic Silk Road, representing a return of power from Europe to China.

It should surprise no one that the North Atlantic Island Nations and Israel are both at the stress centers of shifting power alliances.  Peoples with far more in common than naught are caught up in webs of power politics extending far into the past, and those webs of power politics are being fought in the New World today, even as those battles rage in the Old World.

At risk in the present are two distinct possibilities: that the peace existing between Ireland and England may be undone, and that the budding peace between Israel and multiple Arab nations may be undone.

Far more than the COVID-19 Pandemic, it is economic inequality, food inequality, healthcare inequality, racial inequity, and environmental disasters and destruction that will define the Biden/Harris Administration, such that the reputation of the New Administration may depend as precursor upon the foundations and consequences of foreign policy (which is not to say that the domestic issues are trivial; but, that the New Administration's focus, attention, and budgetary concerns dare not be so radicalized or reversed as to rip focus, attention, and budgetary concerns away from the present historical foreign policy achievements and advances of the Trump Administration.

When Joe Biden says, "America's back," chills should race up and down our spines, much like the chills that once again run up and down the spines of the two Irelands and Israel.  The imminent "hard and soft borders" (or, 'spine') dividing Ireland from Northern Ireland and therefore Britain is analogous to the 1967 "hard and soft borders" ('spine') dividing the various Arabias from Israel. 

Perhaps the Abraham Accords have something to teach Britain and Europe about a way forward beyond the stuck politics that the present EU-England negotiations suffer; perhaps Israel can assist the two Irelands and England to create a solution that will work for Ireland, Scotland, England and the EU; and perhaps in doing so, then the Abraham Accords may additionally be strengthened by lessons learned from the two Irelands and Britain.

Given that Joe Biden is himself Irish, there is an opportunity for Israel and the two Irelands to work together through Joe Biden, perhaps according to the working model of the Abraham Accords, to encourage the further growth of peace simultaneously in the North Atlantic and in the Middle East.  Success at these two central geopolitical faults may do much to ripple outwardly and generate equilibrium internationally all the way to the South China Sea.

PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN SHOULD SEEK TO SERVE THE U.S.A. IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.

 

It is urgent and necessary that President-elect Biden speak clearly and forcefully that he will neither weaken, nor roll back, and will in fact strengthen and advance the Middle East peace initiatives set in motion by the Trump Administration. 

 

 

 

Given present equivocations by Sudan, Bahrain, Jordan, and given instability in hardline Iran, the momentum to Middle East peace initiated by the Trump Administration is under threat to collapse, for Arabia may anticipate that a President Biden may intend to kow-tow to the European Union, Iran, and China.

 

A transfer of power is already reality in Iran from father Mullah Khameini to son. Transition politics in Iran may or may not destabilize Iran, for better or for worse.  Meanwhile, Bahrain is feeling pressure from the world of fundamentalist Islamism, as indeed are any and all Muslim and EU nations on the verge of peaceful relations with the USA and Israel, due to the new potential US weakness regarding Iran that may unravel the growing tapestry of peace being woven across the world of Sunni Islam (and even Alawi Islam) with a thread binding the US and Israel (and inevitably the EU).  Shall President Biden be like a cat granted privilege to play with a ball of yarn?  Or, shall President Biden follow the model leadership of a George Washington?

 

There are only four reasons for a Biden Administration to deliberately fail to uphold and to strengthen the Middle East foreign policy initiatives of the Trump Administration: 

 

(a) if Biden's Administration is deliberately incompetent; 

 

(b) if Biden's foreign policy approach proves to be based on appeasement and conciliation; 

 

(c) if Biden's foreign policy approach proves to be based on financial dealings and obligations to his supporters and donors; or, 

 

(d) any and all of the above.  

 

In less kind words: it may well be that President-elect Biden is in bed with the enemy and is perhaps also in the pocket of the enemy.

 

There are two very good reasons for a Biden Administration to speak out now to reassure the world that he will neither unravel nor fail to continue to weave the Middle East peace tapestry sewn by the Trump Administration: 

 

(1) it is necessary for the stability and progress of the Middle East and therefore of the entire World, as the Middle East is the fulcrum of four major continents (Europe, Africa, India, and Asia); and, 

 

(b) it is necessary for the stability and progress of the USA, as the USA is the fulcrum of the North and South American continents.  

 

Just as the USA faces the domestic crises of pandemic, economic inequality, racial hatred, and climate change, so, too, does the entire World.  

 

Knowing what we now know of history prior to World War Two, could we and would we in the US try Woodrow Wilson for treason, based on the destructive and portentious reality of the Versailles Treaty? And could and would Britain try Lord Chamberlain for treason, due to his appeasement of the Nazis?

 

What will future history say of the yet tentative Biden Administration?  Will President Biden prove to be a Woodrow Wilson/Lord Chamberlain?  Or, will President Biden prove to be a George Washington?

CONSIDER THE ISRAEL-U.A.E. "ABRAHAM ACCORD" IN CONTEXT TO IMPERATIVES OF NATIONAL MANIFEST DESTINY.

 

Every nation believes itself to have a manifest destiny -- even a God-given manifest destiny.

Nowhere in the world as in the Middle East do we see the conflicts and competitions between national manifest destinies as we see in and around Israel, which sits at the fulcrum between the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa.  (Although India is itself a unique continent, being contiguous to Asia, India may to some extent be regarded as an extension of Asia and therefore of the third continent.)  In religious terms those conflicts include Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Atheism.

Fundamental to the most extreme visions of each of these manifest destinies is the axiomatic devotion and commitment to imperial class status; therefore any sustainable solution to these conflicts requires the acceptance of a principle that appears anathema to each unique vision of manifest destiny; and, that principle is: respect and recognition of international political equality among nations.  

 Until the creation of the Modern Jewish State of Israel in 1948, Jews have been subjugated internationally, most notably by dominions of Christianity and Islam.  To those given to apocalyptic thinking, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism regard the existence of today's Israel as imminent to the End of Days, according to which is anticipated the Second Coming of Christ, the Appearance of the Mahdi, or the Arrival of Moshiach-Moshichay, respectively.  Correlatively and imminently, the apocalyptic mind makes ready for the onset of Armageddon, that cataclysmic war in which the deserving dead will arise and live once again, flesh growing upon flesh upon bone, jumping out of graves, Armies of Heaven prophecied to defeat Worldly Evil once and for all Eternity.

Never mind that in answer to the question, "When will you return...?",  Jesus replied "Only the Father [God Himself] knows..." (Sermon on the Mount).  Never mind, too, that both Judaism and Islam caution that anyone claiming to be the Moshiach-Moshichay or the Mahdi, respectively, must fulfill certain conditions that have yet to be fulfilled, rendering as false any claims to such Heavenly Messianic Status. 

It may be said that in the USA approximately half of the population perceives President Donald John Trump in messianic terms and that former President Barack Hussein Obama was perceived in messianic terms by the alternate half of the US population.  "Hussein" is a name that indicates the possibility that former President Obama may be a direct descendant of Muhammad.  "John" is a name that stands out in Christianity, not least in the lyric of the gospel song "I Wanna Be Ready" ["... to walk in Jerusalem, just like John"].  On the one hand one must be careful not to read to much into names or to interpret the facts on the ground according to metaphor; on the other hand one ignores such things at one's peril, as they may have cultural, political, and religious significance in the minds of millions of persons.

Only a fool would deny the messianic importance of Vladimir Putin to Russia... only a fool would deny the messianic importance of Tayyip Erdogan to Turkey... only a fool would deny the messianic importance of Kim Jong Un to North Korea... only a fool would deny the messianic importance of Xi Jinping to China... only a fool would deny the messianic importance of Rodrigo Duterte to the Philippines... etc.  (But, we do live in a world of fools, don't?)

Any lasting peace agreement(s) in the Middle East must be based on the fundamental requirement that the religious manifest destiny visions of the conflicting nations be factored into account.  This is necessary in order to transform the present conflicts into healthy competitions.  All too often the word "competition" is misused, where "conflict" ought to be the correct word, as the word "competition" means "to strive together" and "conflict" means "to contend, fight, struggle".  This means that the (ideally) competing nations must respect each other's sense of manifest destiny, and this respect must be defined both within nations and across borders.

No respect of Israel's sense of manifest destiny may include promulgation of "Dhimmitude" status and the repression, oppression, and persecution of Jews that is inimical to Islam or for that matter to Christian equivalents.  Nor can any similar status be promulgated by Jews against Arabs, etc.  It is possible within borders to establish a special status for foreigners so that foreigners may live and thrive within the borders of a dominant culture and not be repressed, oppressed, or persecuted.  And it should be possible for the Arabs and for the entire world of Muslims and Christians and Jews to understand that no human being speaks absolutely for God.  That being so, borders must be recognized and accepted, so that each nation may express it's own sense of manifest destiny and not yet impose any unique vision upon the other similarly unique visions.  For example, Arabs ['Palestinians'] accepting and preferring to live in Israel [inclusive of Golan, Judea-Samaria, and Jerusalem] ought to be able to do so, having a preferred status that is however exclusive of Israeli Citizenship.

As to definitions of borders, reality must be recognized.  The de facto borders of Israel are those areas already under Israel's political and military hegemony, which for the good of everyone should be accepted as de jure, irregardless of propaganda, political posturing, biased and invalid decision-making by the ICJ, and one-sided resolutions against Israel at the UN.

There is absolutely every reason -- religious, philosophical, and political -- for the Muslim world to adopt a religious posture that is protective of the State of Israel as a manifestation of the People of the Book, protection of which People is required by Islam.  As Christians are also regarded by Islam as People of the Book, there must be an end to Muslim persecution of Christians.  And, by extension, there must be a universal end to persecution of any faith group by any other faith group; secular influences not withstanding, it is not incorrect to regard Western Culture as Christian Culture, Eastern Culture as Muslim Culture, and Israeli Culture as Jewish Culture. 

The "Abraham Accord" gives promise to a possible future of Middle East Peace.  Yet, it will succeed, if and only if religious commonality between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, being Abrahamic Faiths, provides a basis for the respect and recognition of international political equality among nations. 

TO BE FAIR...

To be fair to the various theocracies of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and their secular counterparts... Each has significant humble populations that do not presume to an imminent expectation of the Ultimate Salvation. Judaism anticipates that before the remnant of Israel is redeemed to Zion as the Ultimate Redemption, Jewish exile may extend to the farthest reaches of the universe; yet, this does not necessarily preclude the day to day expansions and contractions of sovereignty over mundane life. Christianity teaches that "Only The Father Knows, when Jesus will return (Sermon on the Mount)." Islam teaches that when the Mahdi will appear, the coming of Jesus will then also be known, as well as the Day of Judgment; and, until then, nobody knows. This common humbleness regarding Ultimate Redemption is the root hope for all humanity, springing as it does from the same tree of life, speaking of God, yet presuming (at least some of the time) not to be God's mouthpiece and not to dictate God's terms, valuing the right to life of all people and all Peoples.

THE CYNIC IN ME SAYS...

EVERYBODY LOVES A FOOD FIGHT... AND SO THE ONLY MOVEMENT WE SHALL SEE SHALL BE SUCH MOVEMENT AS MAKES FOR A GOOD FOOD FIGHT... MEANWHILE, THE VAST MAJORITY WILL CONTINUE TO BE STUNNED AND STUPIFIED... ULTIMATELY THE SURVIVORS WILL PICK UP THE PIECES... SOME WILL BE HAPPY FOR THE WORK... SOME WILL SAY, "WOW... WASN'T THAT A FOOD FIGHT TO BEAT ALL FOOD FIGHTS,"... SOME WILL BE UNHAPPY AND CONDEMN THE FOOD FIGHTERS... AND SOME WILL GET INTO THE NEXT FOOD FIGHT, WHICH REALLY IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE ONE ETERNAL FOOD FIGHT... SO I ASK THE ULTIMATE QUESTION... "PIZZA, ANYONE???"

BEINART'S EQUIVOCAL REVELATION

THERE IS A GLIMMER OF LIGHT THAT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS OF BEINART'S 'REVELATION'.

The guts of the Jewish Left Wing are so twisted and so contorted that the Left Wing does not know one end from the other, only that a purging and purification is required and inevitable. There is nothing new in Beinart's ideal of a democratic Israel-Palestine, as it harkens back to the competitive days contemporary to the early formation of the modern State of Israel and of the differing concepts of Zionism, when the Left Wing sought to create a combined Arab-Jewish Palestinian State along Marxist ideals. Events such as numerous wars and terrorism, bent on the annihilation of Jews and Israel, have made a reductio-as-absurdum of such an ideal. In Beinart's article one perceives the writhing and perhaps even the last throes of a Left Wing recognition and acceptance of the death of their ideal. The death of any ideal and an awakening to reality is always preceded by denial and by great intellectual and emotional angst. The glimmer of light in Beinart's 'revelation' is in the acceptance, however terrifyingly equivocal, of the inevitability of One State.

Beinart gives a Left Wing interpretation of what that State might look like, based on early Left Wing ideals... '"back to the future", if you will. But, that ship sailed, foundered, and sank. In today's world, as Daniel Gordis and Alan Dershowitz articulated so eloquently, so strongly, so intelligently, and so passionately, Beinart's idealistic plan would bring suicide to the Jewish State of Israel and would re-subjugate Jews to foreign domination... [that is, those Jews remaining alive after such a cataclysm, as would be the inevitable consequence of any realization of Beinart's Plan].

One remembers that the brilliant antisemitic British philosopher Bertrand Russell equated the ideal of a Marxist State as being a secular realization of the Catholic Church. It would be so easy to engage here in a discussion of the historical Western conflict between the Anglican Church, as well as other Protestant forms of Christianity, and the Catholic Church. However, keeping on topic, the majority of Christian religious fundamentals have their common denominator in antisemitism... after all, according to Christianity, the only "Real Jew" was Jesus. As for the rest of us, according to Christianity, we are all impostors, to be validated only by our sacrifice (hence the Christian word "Holocaust", not SHOAH). Our sacrifice is necessary to Christianity for it is Israel's sacrifice, come the "End of Days", that makes the "Second Coming of Jesus" possible and which is why from the Christian perspective a "stump of a stump" of Jews have been kept alive in ghettoes with and without walls, including the ghetto in the Middle East that we know today as the modern State of Israel.

Israel's existence today is a conundrum for both the vociferous Left and the vociferous Right, just as it is a conundrum for the Haredim (may one think of the Naturei Karta as being the Haredi Left and the Lubavitch as the Haredi Right?). Both the Secular Left and the Religious Left respond to the problem of Western [Christian Religious and Christian Secular] domination by tortuous contortions of 'justifications' and 'obligations' found within and without the Torah. The Naturei-Karta would have us do exactly as Beinart would do (would he realy?). Both Beinart and the Naturei Karta offer us what may only be understood in both Christian Religious and Christian Secular terms as The Christian Solution. That consequence would be an Holocaust. Given that the Pope travels the world kissing the feet of Muslims, one must perceive that the Beinart and Naturei Karta Solution does not pass the smell test for a real Jewish person. For the good of both the Christian world and the Muslim world, it is imperative that Israel not succumb to the temptation to enable another Second Holocaust in our time. Just imagine the pain and suffering of the Muslim and Christian worlds, when after such a 'Second Holocaust' there will have appeared no "Mahdi" (the Muslim Messiah) nor the "Second Coming of Jesus". At least the Lubavitch give us another 220-years before the "Arrival of the Moshiach-Moshichay" in the form of Rebbe Menachem Schneerson [Of Blessed Memory].

So one must give credit to Peter Beinart for his expressed awareness, which is that a "Two-State Solution" is not possible and that a "One State" is inevitable. For one who is Orthodox and utters the Shema on a daily basis, the concepts of ERETZ ECHAD and YERUSHALAYIM ECHAD should not be so hard to grasp. Only HaShem knows, whether or not such words, conceived and spoken as is the Shema, would be spoken as last words.

The challenge facing Israel in our time is to continue the establishing of a Jewish State that is democratic in the context of Torah as the foundation of Law and Life, disallowing cultural 'imprisonment' by Theocratic Politics, while also not vying to fulfill a conception that would make Israel into a 51st State of the USA. Israel is unique. It would be madness to continue efforts towards either a Two-State Solution or an "Israel-Palestine" solution. It would be madness to enable Israeli Citizenship for the Arabs presently living in Judea-Samaria and Gaza. It may be madness to continue Israeli Citizenship for those Arabs and Jews already having citizenship, who are hostile to Israel; and, Arab devotion to "Al-Nakba" is anathema to the existence of the State of Israel. Sanity demands that hostiles be expelled (may they be granted golden parachutes). Sanity demands that such Arabs of Judea-Samaria and Gaza, who are happy to reside in the hegemony of Israel, be granted "Blue Cards" allowing special status and special privilege, but, not citizenship. Sanity demands One Israel and One Jerusalem flying the Israeli Flag from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

"WHY THE DEVIL CAME YOU BETWEEN US?" (Mercutio, Act 3 - Scene 1, ROMEO & JULIET)

PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY BRING THE ARABS BACK TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE BY DELAYING RELOCATION OF THE AMERICAN EMBASSY FROM TEL AVIV TO JERUSALEM, AND CONGRESS SHOULD ULTIMATELY REVOKE IT'S LEGISLATION OF 20-YEARS AGO THAT AUTHORIZED THE EMBASSY RELOCATION.

I hope and pray that the Trump Administration will yet walk back the promise to relocate the American Embassy in Jerusalem, and that Congress will ultimately revoke the legislation of twenty-years ago to relocate our Embassy to Jerusalem. I say this, even as I applaud President Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol city of Jerusalem, and even as I believer that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for doing so. As for the withholding of American funds to the "Palestinians", the US makes a symbolic statement, but, the majority of "Palestinian" funding comes from Muslim nations, most especially Iran and Saudi Arabia and even Egypt and Jordan, and from Europe and [indirectly] from Russia and China. Facts on the ground and a longer term view should preclude relocation of any and all Embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; but, all nations should recognize Israel's existential right, actual existence, and Jerusalem's undivided status as Israel's capitol city.

The way forward to Middle East peace and Arab-Israeli peace is really quite simple, and ought not include American or other intercession in Jerusalem; but, must inevitably involve either independence or semi-independence for the Kurds, and a simultaneous truncation of Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman push and of Mullah Iranian terrorism and imperialism.

The way forward with respect to Israel should be quite obvious, but, requires the cooperation of the three Great Powers, which demands greater effort than is needed to overcome the unified Muslim objectionto Israel that enables the Muslims to play off the Great Powers against each other.

To date Israel has been continuously kicked in the head, like a soccer ball (imagine a soccer field designed as a Chinese checkerboard) -- "fun" for everyone, except for Israel (if only humanity would imagine peace as a way to more genuine entertainment than war...). It should be obvious that Israeli security needs preclude the creation of a "State of Palestine" on the "West Bank" (Judea-Samaria). As well, occupation once again (as in the period from 1947-1967) of the "West Bank" and East Jerusalem by Jordan would not only also be too great a risk to the security of Israel; but, would again be a reimposition of the Jordanian yoke around the neck of the "Palestinians". However, Israeli security does not necessarily preclude the expansion of a "State of Gaza".

The "Palestinians" would be motivated to come back to the negotiating table, if two major ideas are put forth and acted upon publicly: (1) an offer to revoke American Embassy relocation to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, and (2) an offer to negotiate [a] expansion of Gaza, and [b] paid relocation from the "West Bank" to the new "Gaza State" of any and all "Palestinians" unwilling to live as "permanent residents" within Israeli hegemony (include among the "unwilling" those Arabs deserving of expulsion, be they militant Arab-Israelis or militant "West Bank" Arabs).

The "land for peace" idea may be exercised, if and only if that land comes from the Sinai territory as an Egyptian "gift" (no doubt at American expense in the form of foreign aid to Egypt). Egypt owes an unpaid, unspoken debt to Israel of the Sinai territory, even if officially the Egypt-Israel "peace" deal was based on Israel's absolute return of the entire Sinai territory to Egypt. That (forced by a former American President) deal set the precedent upon which the Arabs take it for granted, that they may wage wars of annihilation against Israel at no risk to territorial losses and with the implicit understanding that the existence of Israeli hegemony in any form represents "occupation" that Arabs may inevitably terminate with worldwide anticipation, approbation, and approval. The amount of land needed for a viable State of Gaza need not be the entire Sinai.

Meanwhile, we in the USA should keep two things in mind: (1) in his Sermon on the Mount, when asked about "His Return", Jesus said, "only The Father knows..."; therefore, as we are not "The Father", our American politics should not and must not be driven by evangelical opinion that we live in Messianic Times here and now; and, (2) we must remember that the British Occupation in the Holy Land only brought sorrow to the British, as well as to the various Peoples of the Holy Land. Mercutio's words, "Why the devil came you between us?" from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" ring loudly in my ears (it was not Romeo's intention to place Mercutio at risk of life and limb, however, death was the direct result of Romeo's intervention, leading inevitably to the immediate death of Tybalt and later of Juliet and Romeo himself (by this analogy I see Israel as Mercutio, the "Palestinians" as Tybalt, the Arabs as Juliet, and the US as Romeo).

MERCUTIO

I am hurt.

A plague o' both your houses! I am sped.

Is he gone and hath nothing?

BENVOLIO

     What, art thou hurt?

MERCUTIO

Ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch. Marry, ’tis enough.

Where is my page?—Go, villain, fetch a surgeon.

Courage, man. The hurt cannot be much.

MERCUTIO

No, ’tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but ’tis enough, ’twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man. I am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o' both your houses! Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a cat to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rogue, a villain that fights by the book of arithmetic! Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm!

"ISRAELI AUTHORITIES HAVE APPROVED A MAJOR EXPANSION OF A JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM." (BBC sub-headline, 10/25/2017)

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-41750916

"Israel approves 176 new settler homes in East Jerusalem" (BBC 

headline)

The above headline from today's BBC appears innocent enough, although the phrase "settler homes" brings with it the implication that for Jews to live in East Jerusalem in protected communities is somehow wrong.  This bias is just the icing on the cake of the larger bias represented in the sub-headline, "Israeli authorities have approved a major expansion of a Jewish settlement in occupied East Jerusalem."

East Jerusalem is the traditional Arab Quarter of Jerusalem, which Arabs and the EU and the UN (and apparently the BBC) prematurely and wrongly regard as part and parcel of a future "State of Palestine", speaking of that hypothetical, as if such a State were a fact. Such a State is not a fact. The BBC should be sued, as such an BBC news article ought not editorialize (a separate opinion piece is permissible). The omission of the word "Jewish" or "Israeli" from the phrase "in [Jewish/Israeli] occupied East Jerusalem does not avoid the obvious implication in the first part of that same sentence, "Israeli authorities have approved a major expansion of a Jewish settlement...". There is no excusing the BBC (or any news organization of politician or person) for presenting bias and opinion in the form and pretext of news. Loading the word "occupied" should never have occurred, not in this news article and not in any news article, as so loading such articles violates ethical standards of accurate and precise reporting.

News this past 18-months has been dominated by Elections in the UK, France, USA, Germany, China, and many other countries as well as by international warfare in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. If Israel has played an apparently minor role in world reporting during this period, this does not mean that events in Israel have been either insignificant or unimportant. The BDS movement must still be countered; the war in Syria has involved Israel directly, the Sinai situation involving Al-quaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Fatah, and the Muslim Brotherhood versus Egypt and Israel is an ongoing problem, as is the incessant threat of terrorism against Israel; and let us not forget Iran, nor the biases of the UN.

At sometimes more than others the BBC publishes and broadcasts opinion disguised as news reporting, almost as if to see, if Israel is paying the BBC any attention. We most hope that Israel is paying attention to the BBC and other media outlets and that Israel shall use every means at it's disposal to bring biased reporting to justice.

THE MIDDLE EAST IS KNOWN MORE FOR CAMELS, HORSES, AND DONKEYS THAN IT IS KNOWN FOR ELEPHANTS.

ONE "ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM"  
OF THE ARAB-ISRAEL CONFLICT IS 
THE SUPPOSED "DEMOGRAPHIC PROBLEM".

This language of a "demographic problem" stinks to high heaven. It is a divisive and pernicious, racist rhetoric that only serves to play up the animosities between Arabs and Jews, most especially between the Muslim Arabs and Jews.

It is not a uniting and socially constructive rhetoric. If anything it calls to mind the "Jewish Problem" that the Nazi's created throughout Europe and sought to solve by annihilating the Jews in what is known in history as "The Holocaust" and which cost the lives of at least six-million Jews and their potential generations of Jewish life, which could not come into existence from their ashes.

Anti-Jewish, anti-Israel propaganda seeks to perversely flip that image and create the appearance that "Jews are Nazis", that "Jews practice apartheid" and similar such bizarre interpretations of Israel's treatment of the Arabs of the "West Bank". The darker, greater reality is that the Arabs of the "West Bank" are in large part the tip of the spear of the single-minded Arab war machine, which has sought to annihilate Israel since it's inception circa WW-1 and creation post WW-2. The darker, greater reality is that Arab nations have used the variety of Jihadi terror organizations (Hamas, El Fatah, Hezbollah, Al Quaeda, ISIS, etc.) as training opportunities for Jihadi Wars; who does one think are under those KKK-like hoods that they wear?

Most of the native "Palestinians" left their homes in 1948 to avoid being butchered by invading Arab armies from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and other Arab nations, which invaded to snuff out the post-Holocaust State of Israel and to occupy "Palestine". Praise Heaven, these invading armies lost their war against Israel in 1948 and lost all the subsequent wars of annihilation they fought against Israel.

Native "Palestinians" have done well or poorly, depending on where their exile took them. Those, who made it to Europe and America have done relatively well and even very well. Those, who were protected by Israel, became Israeli Citizens and comprise 20% of Israel today.

Those, who settled in refugee camps in Arab countries, often suffered and still do, because the Arab nations that caused them to flee did not and do not want to take responsibility for them, except to use them as pawns in their wars. With the notable exceptions of Egypt and Jordan, most Arab and Muslim States do not recognize Israel.

"At present, a total of 31 United Nations member states do not recognise the State of Israel: 18 of the 21 UN members in the Arab League: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen; a further 10 members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Chad, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mali, Niger, and Pakistan. Other countries which do not recognise Israel include Bhutan, Cuba, and North Korea.[12] In 2002, the Arab League proposed recognition of Israel by Arab countries as part of the resolution of the Palestine-Israel conflict in the Arab Peace Initiative. 16 of these countries do not accept Israeli passports[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and eight of these also do not accept passports of other countries whose holder has an Israeli visa endorsed in it.[16][20]"

=""wiki=""international_recognition_of_israel="">

If any apartheid exists, it is a Muslim Apartheid against Jews that exists with it's center in Saudi Arabia and which extends in every direction into Africa, throughout Arabia, into Turkey and Europe and Russia, into Iran and parts of India, into much of Central Asia, into much of China, and into much of Southeast Asia.

And yet, as the above Wikipedia quote demonstrates, the Arab League has the unmitigated absolute gall to insist that it will only make peace with Israel, contingent on the existence of resolution of the "Palestine-Israel Conflict".

Respectfully, there is no "Palestine-Israel Conflict". Jews and Arabs of the geography of Israel are by definition altogether Palestinians in that the British and French resurrected the Ancient Roman Conqueror's designation of "Palestine" (actually, Syria-Palestina) for the geography of Israel. In all history there was never a "State of Palestine" and there still is no such State today. So why then are the non-Jews of the "West Bank" (known by history until recently as Judea-Samaria) called "Palestinians" and the Jews and non-Jewish citizens of Israel "Israelis"? This is a story in itself, and I invite everyone to ask themselves this question and think about it.

More importantly, I ask everyone to put away their racism, be it anti-Israeli or anti-Arab, be it anti-Jewish or anti-Muslim or anti-Christian or anti-Druse or anti-Bahai or anti-Hindu or anti-Atheist or anti-Agnostic... whatever your bigotry, put it aside! Take a look at Israel, at Gaza, and at the "Palestinian Authority" (which governs the Arabs in the "West Bank").... In Gaza there is Hamas -- Hamas apartheid and terror against everyone except Hamas. In the "West Bank" there is El Fatah, apartheid against everyone except El Fatah, and terror. In Israel there is freedom for everyone in a Jewish majority democracy... and unfortunately, there is also terror, either because of Arab terror against Israelis due to Jihadi incitement, or due to Israeli terror against Arabs in response to the terror against Israelis.

There is every reason that those Arabs, who are not Israeli Citizens and who live in the "West Bank" (Judea-Samaria), should be granted a status of "Resident Alien" -- as long as they are willing to live peacefully in Israel, once Judea-Samaria is properly annexed to Israel. Those, who are unwilling to live peacefully in Israel, have every right to receive compensation and assistance in relocating to any country that would have them; or, they have the right to be deported, as Israel cannot and should tolerate those, who would be terrorists.

Similarly, those Arabs, who are already privileged to live in Israel and have Israeli citizenship, who are unwilling to live peacefully in Israel, should be compensated to relocate or be deported. Israeli citizen or not, those, who celebrate the evil holiday "Al-Nakba" ("The Catastrophe", meaning that the very existence of the Jewish State of Israel is a worldly catastrophe) should be regarded as traitors and/or as enemies of the State of Israel and be summarily deported, no questions asked. Everyone else -- Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Druse, Bahai, Hindu, Atheist, Agnostic, etc. -- may then live in Israel in peace.

There is no Israel-Palestine Conflict. There is only an Arab-Israel Conflict, because the Arab League and other Muslim Nations maintain a unified state of war against Israel and use the idea of a "State of Palestine" as pretext for continuation of war against Israel. It is long overdue for the world to set straight the Arab League and all those Nations not recognizing Israel. And it is long overdue for the world to perceive that the "West Bank" is a name jinned-up to create an Arab-style bank of funds for waging war against Israel.

It would be a good thing, should the Arab-Israel Conflict be  subject for discussion between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, if new light were brought to the political table, which for decades has seen repetition to force the same failed idea of a "Two-State Solution". The very language of the discussion is critical, as there is no "demographic problem", only a need for the Jewish Democratic State of Israel to protect everyone willing to live in peace within it's borders (including Judea-Samaria, and One Jerusalem); and there is a need for the non-Jewish Muslim population of Judea-Samaria to have a special "Resident Alien" status.  This is not an abnormal reality in the world of democracies.

The American Embassy may stay in Tel Aviv; moving the Embassy is not important and may even become a detrimental sideshow. What is important is One Israel, One Jerusalem, and for everyone to live in peace within Israel's  borders, who is willing to live in peace.

May these meditations be taken as prayers and find favor....
