Surely you don’t believe Trump is that clever

Trump understands it is a waste of time. You cannot make peace with a corrupt military dictatorship and or corrupt backwards theology. The two eclectic Palestinian groups are politically splintered. Best Israeli option is to continue to trim the grass. It is the only realistic available option.

We

The only peace plans acceptable to Palestinians are the West Bank with East Jerusalem and a right of return to Israel proper or the West Bank with East Jerusalem now and Israel proper after a short truce period. The other plans are irrelevant. Palestinians just play along with them to get money and political support but will not accept them. Don't believe? Check out the Palestinian literature on the subject not the naive Israeli and Western junk.

... he does not like it already.

BTW, Alex, "Knowing Donald Trump" is arrogant overstatement.

He kept his word and recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capitol.

The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 was passed by the 104th Congress and now, finally, it is a fact that all other POTUS' refused to do.

Watch President Trumps accomplishments become mightier as his blessing Israel also carries blessings for him.

KEEP BUILDING!!

cannot help himself in his quest for Lefti’s return to power, poor thing!

For example, Trump's words that the US would only support a 2-state solution "IF BOTH SIDES AGREE" don't figure into Fishman's analysis.
Other than that, Trump hasn't said anything about what a peace agreement should look like.

Dear President Trump...a bi gezunde und shtarke ad meah ve esrim.

even EU will follow USA's politics towards Palestine.

and more sensible people like pence might lead. However I have a funny scenario in mind in this brave wonderful and modern world. Netanyahu gets the indictment he resigns and to the chargine of sensible people mk oren hazan gets elected while trump is in office. I will be horrified but admitedly the fun would be maximum. I can imagine the headlines ranging from sexual misconducts to insults levelled against journalists, politicians and even the public. Having said that forcing a deal would not be utterly mad since the peace process took forty years and produces nothing but emotional pictures.

The cherry on top will be changes in the status-quo on the Temple Mount.

Forever keeping the foreign set uneasily guessing at & awaiting his next Realpolitik move.

US Presidents should always be operating in this mode of setting and directing the reality.

We gambled well in deciding to put Trump in the White House.

There is a railroad car at Compiegne, France. It is now a museum. The car was the one where France and the UK forced the humiliating and back-breaking terms on Germany at the end of WWI. It is also the same car where France signed its surrender to Germany in WWII.

Trump does not know this history. But this article implies he wants to duplicate the France-UK WWI mistake.

Mr. Trump is the kind of man who with a simple glance knows who likes him and who does not like him, and that sympathy or antipathy is intuitive, mutual and unbreakable. Friend of his not very numerous friends and ruthless enemy of his infinite adversaries. The Council of Europe today plans to make a solemn condemnation of the Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I firmly believe that with this useless condemnation the Europeans will pronounce the most abominable and devastating of the anathemas on themselves.

Refers to the Muslim mosque which sits on the same site of two Jewish Temples.
As for Europe their now over run by Muslims this is a form of the wrath of G-d for the murder of 6 million European Jews.

That's the bad news ( for Europeans) the good news is the third temple will be built on this same site and, hopefully, soon.
KEEP BUILDING !!

Third Temple in all its glory.
It's coming soon.

All in your bruised brain.
You can imagine anything doesn't mean it's going to happen.
The black caucus already tried that impeachment thing only to fall on their uneducated asses.
Then, they tried censure that also ended up in the sh*t can of history.

Maybe you can find work as a comedy writer for comic books?
You sound like a fool.

who refuses to eat his spinach when asked why he says he just hates it when asked if he's ever tasted it he says 'No.'

and so has a lot of the money that the US used to pay these Arab palestinian violent criminals.

No money no pals no s*it.

Although a braggart, Trump actually keeps his word and won over 'sure to win Hillary' by outsmarting her and getting the brass ring, the presidency,
thank G-d!

Trump reminds me of the high school athlete who wins every contest and tops it off with his own congratulations.

May not like the man but, give him his due.
He's a winner and so is America all the success he enjoys is due to his being sober, prepared and a hell of a deal maker.

LOVE THIS GUY!!

I thank you for mentioning me in your contribution.
The Siqquts Shemen that will inevitably overtake the Europeans will not be a consequence of the massive immigration of Muslims, who already number 20 million, but by themselves.
John Chrysostom, 1650 years ago, in his "First Homily Against the Jews", said so: "It is the duty of all Christians to hate the Jews."
Erasmus of Rotterdam, 1200 years later, referred to that famous quote when he said: "If it is Christian to hate Jews, then we are all good Christians."
The popes of Rome and the European governments have let enter so many Muslims to "evangelize" their materialistic and indolent citizens, to preach them their enormous anti-Jewish hatred to return them to their original Christian "faith". And they are getting it, because there is not a single European, evangelicals apart, who does not hate the Jews and the State of Israel.
Today, all Europeans, leftist and rightist, are good Christians!
Europe is doomed to its disintegration and destruction.
