I don’t see it as Trump’s “moral clarity” as much as his opportunistic imperative to remake Gaza into Trump East with his coterie of other opportunists— Witkoff and Kushner. He has no sense of morality.
In case you missed it, Gaza hasn't been a bastion of human rights since Hamas seized power in 2007. Could a makeover be any worse? As George Costanza once said on "Seinfeld," "If everything you do is wrong, then the opposite must be right!"
So Trump is mixing peace with business opportunities for everyone.
Yeah, that's just awful. Then again he is not a Communist Muslim that that hates Israel like the new mayor of NYC that is about to be elected. In fact the entire Democrat Party detests Israel and would sell to the highest Arab bidder tomorrow morning in 5 minutes for a NIS..
That's opportunistic imperative to remake the Middle East without Israel.
Take your Pick - Israel backs Trump 100% - pick you side carefully, Karen.
Palestinianism is an Arafat concoction. After Munich in '72 he HAD to find some way to make these barbarians seem sympathetic. As an aside, can you imagine the hue and cry if Netanyahu or any Israeli leader spoke at the UN wearing a pistol on THEIR hips?
Don’t forget a part of the equation often overlooked. The liberal Jews who still idolize Obama and Biden and can’t stop or control their trump hate, must come out of the darkness and embrace reality. Of course trump will never have their support, but they have to stop embracing those who wish to see them gone. They still suffer the delusions of being a light for the world and believing the Islamic radicals will somehow change their beliefs. They can’t even get them to acknowledge the holocaust happened.
"liberal Jews...have to stop embracing those who wish to see them gone."
The problem here is many of these people (the zombies of Free Palestine!) are their kids, families, friends, co-workers and bosses (esp if they work in culture, media or academia). Not only have the Palestinians been given the top spot in the Social Justice hierarchy of sacred victims, the acolytes of Social Justice are not known for their tolerance of dissent and would rather smear and banish someone than debate them.
As long as Social Justice remains the ruling ideology of our Western liberal ruling classes, Israel will remain an enemy and "Zionists" (any Jews who don't grovel and apologize for being Jewish) will be persona non grata.
We've had to face a lot of ugly social consequences for allowing the postmodern post-Marxists of the New Left to seize our means of cultural production, and the recent eruption and whitewashing of Jew hate is the newest and ugliest manifestation.
Those of us here in America can't fight the Sinwars of the world but we can fight the Judith Butlers—the Left academics who have fashioned Israel into the Great Satan of their cosmology and who've devoted their lives to its destruction.
These people are dangerous, shameless liars and need to be confronted and attacked—not with violence but with merciless mockery. They're all humorless dogma robots, so a nice verbal pantsing always leaves them stammering in humiliation. Truth is their enemy as much as Israelis are.
True! The pathetic duality of oppressor / oppressed, white / colored divisions parroted by Social Justice “Warriors” (posting from the comfort of their living rooms) needs to be completely debunked. Blaming Jews for Western guilt is a suicide mission. It only legitimizes Islamism and Palestinians and anyone with an ounce of common sense or integrity should realize their ultimate goal is implementing Sharia law in the West. Say bye bye to constitutional protections and hello to your worst nightmare. 🙏
The problem remains when Islamism goes underground like Nazism did after the defeat of 1945, to re-emerge at a later time. We have monitored both here in London. The attraction of Extremism, nourished by the emotion of Hate, remains. Thus there can be no reward in the long-term for either.
I don't think anyone in the world truly believes that the end of Palestinianism and rejectionism will be enforced as required by this plan. The time for utopianism is long past. The time for Israel to become first and foremost concerned about the safety and security of its own people alone is long overdue.
The entire ‘Palestinian’ narrative is built on lies, wrapped in the mantle of a lie; the label we all use - largely because long use has made it convenient in communication, and non-use awkward - ‘Palestinian’.
I would think that most people reading this Substack are familiar with the Roman origin of the label, given to the Land of Israel in defeat. Likewise, the appropriation of the name by Arabs, Egyptians, and others, in an operation conceived by the KGB as a method to insinuate and perpetuate throughout the world, as well as successive generations of the subject peoples, a fictitious, and malicious, historical narrative.
If ‘Palestinianism’ is truly to be defeated, then dealing with that ‘original sin’ must be given priority.
The term, as now ubiquitously used, encapsulates all of the other associated lies, whether they flow from mother’s milk’ and are taught to kindergarten children in the region, as well as throughout the educational systems of the world, are promulgated in ‘reports’ by Global media, or are proclaimed from the ‘United Nations’ dais, and are incorporated into International Law.
As individuals, we can struggle through the awkwardness of using ‘so-called Palestinians’ in conversations, speeches, or writings. But we cannot hope to make the necessary changes to redress this fundamental lie on a global basis.
That said, I believe it can be done, if the will to do so exists and is diligently pursued by the leadership of the United States and Israeli governments. And we, as individuals, can publicly support those efforts within our respective spheres of influence.
By God’s grace, a narrow window of opportunity to initiate the necessary change of paradigm exists, and I pray it is seized upon and pursued to completion.
'Peace?' "For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape" (1Thessalonians 5:3).
Bibi has long advocated for solving the Palestinian mirage from without Israel, not from within Israel. Thus, the genesis of the Abraham Accords. I like the theme proffered by this essay and admit that I’ve not read Trump’s 20 point plan in detail. Getting the hostages out was a miracle. If you are saying that there are other miracles contained within the text of the plan, I’m all for it. Bring it.
yes, exactly. And Qatar will have to stop funding the ideology, too. I believe they will but it will take more exposure of Qatar's duplicity, etc.

We’ll see with time.
Exactly wrong. I used to think like you but because I maintained my sanity, I had to change my mind as the reality unfolded. You can do the same.

With the invention of "Palestinianism" he was greatly helped by Andrei Gromyko devout Jewhater and entire Soviet apparatus.

Am Israel Chai, to the glory of God!
Both peace and moral clarity will begin with the destruction of the U.N.
'Peace?' "For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape" (1Thessalonians 5:3).
These words ring true, but as of yet I can nowhere see they become reality in „Trumps Plan‘.
Bibi has long advocated for solving the Palestinian mirage from without Israel, not from within Israel. Thus, the genesis of the Abraham Accords.
