    Watching it live, another treaty between Israel and it’s Muslim neighbors.

  2. Why does he have to do all that work when we have the UN- that is what they are supposed to be all about.?

    Oh, I see. The UN is the place that we fund so that our adversaries will have a place to go to collude against us on our dime. It is also the place where Hillary and Obama went to get approval and coordinate an overthrow of Libya. But he did not take it to Congress for review and approval because "there was not time." In other words, already approved by the UN - no need.

    Alright I digressed a little so I will redeem myself and return to the topic:

    THANK YOU MR. TRUMP

    Noura Erakat Trump 'peace' deals for Israel, UAE and Bahrain are shams. They boost oppression, not amity.

    The leaders of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have a stake in President Trump’s re-election and helped him become a peacemaker.

    It is interesting. Instead of giving away concessions to the Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank Israel is instead making concessions with other Arab countries in the region. The deal with UEA has Israel giving up annexation of the West Bank. Deals with other Arab countries involve other concessions.

    Israel is getting tangible deals for concessions it was willing to make with Gaza and the West Bank instead of getting literally nothing. Not necessary to return to pre-war borders either.

    Brilliant.

    I’m under the conviction that Israel will never relinquish control of territory, so I’m really interested to see how this plays out in the future, specially in future dealings with the other countries in the area and how Iran responds.

    We are living in very interesting times.
     
  6. Ironically, that whole Kashoggi thing was such a complete and total disaster that it put an enormous amount of pressure on the Saudi's to cooperate their way back a bit. It didn't upgrade their image of course. Everyone knows they are still snakes but it is a least a positive crumb.
     
  7. Maybe the dems would like to argue that they are the party that looks out for Israel and guards against anti-semitism these days?

    Probably not. That would be a tough sell.

    Omar the PeaceMaker. Ahhh, no. That dog don't hunt.

    Why any orthodox or practicing reform Jew would vote democratic is beyond me.

    Leave it to the forum troll/Karen to troll for articles slamming it all.

    Can't you come up with anything else?

    What a waste of a life you have there, Karen.
