‘They say it’s like the impossible deal,’ President Donald Trump said of a potential Israel-Palestine peace plan. ‘I would love to be the one able to produce it.’
ed note–several goodies to consider, just within the context of this piece alone.
1. When divining just WHY there is this over-the-top effort on the part of the powers of hell in causing as much political instability as possible in the US vis the Trump administration (short of an actual collapse, which all can rest assured will be forthcoming if Judea, Inc doesn’t get her way) it must be understood that Trump didn’t just begin talking about a ‘peace deal’ in the Middle East the day before elections in 2016. He has been talking about it for DECADES, has done so within earshot of those powerful Jewish interests who dominate in his particular field of business (Manhattan real estate development) and has thus earned for himself a reputation–just as Joseph Kennedy did during his rough-and-tumble days as a bootlegger–of being a force with which to be reckoned.
And it was this fact–Trump’s eyeballing the ‘ultimate real estate deal’ in the Middle East–that best explains WHY there was this overt and undeniable attempt on the part of both the NeoCons and NeoLibs in trying to prevent at all costs a Trump victory, which was doubtless also made possible with help from the Russians and hence why there is so much fire and fury being expended right now in making sure that AIPAC does not suffer a similar fate as it did in 2016–having lost an election.
Now, what also needs to be considered is the following–
2. Trump needs the political victory that would come from a ‘deal’ with North Korea in order to give him more legitimacy in pushing for his ‘peace deal’ in the Middle East, and therefore, it is somewhere between probable and definite that Israel played some role in seeing Trump’s recent tete-a-tete with Kim Jung Un end with ‘no deal’ taking place. An entire smorgasbord of possibilities exist in terms of what kind of pressure points Judea, Inc could have squeezed against KJU, from bribes to blackmail that then resulted in the talks going bust.
3. It is also somewhere between probable and definite that the recent flair-up between 2 nuclear powers who hate each other–Pakistan and India–was also the result of deliberate Israeli meddling and done to distract Trump from what he was/is in the middle of doing right now vis his UPD, thus forcing him to focus his attention on all the ABCs of what can only be accurately understood to be a very serious international crisis.

President Donald Trump is leaving Vietnam without a deal on North Korean denuclearization but insisted he had some ‘reasonably attractive news’ on other peace efforts.
At an end-of-trip news conference in Hanoi, Trump touted his administration’s efforts to de-escalate tensions between India and Pakistan — which are clashing over incursions in the disputed Kashmir region — and later said he’s confident his administration can broker a Middle East peace deal.
‘It is interesting. All my life, I’ve heard that the toughest of all deals — when they talk about tough deals — we all like deals, but the toughest of all deals would be peace between Israel and the Palestinians,’ he told an Israeli reporter on Thursday.
The president’s optimism comes as Jared Kushner, his senior adviser and son-in-law who has taken the reins of negotiating a long-evaded peace plan, makes a seven-day swing through the Middle East to discuss the proposal, visiting Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Trump has, in the past, referred to such an agreement as the ‘deal of the century.’
‘They say it’s like the impossible deal,’ he said Thursday. ‘I would love to be able to produce it. We will see what happens.’ He added that the Palestinians have been ‘much better’ and are willing to engage in peace talks, predicting that ‘we have actually a good shot at peace between Israel and the Palestinians.’
Kushner told Sky News Arabia this week that the U.S. peace plan ‘is very detailed and will focus on drawing the border and resolving the core issues’ and will incorporate ‘practical and just solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian issue that will be relevant for 2019.’
His comments raised eyebrows in Israel, where an election opponent of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Trump of conspiring with Netanyahu to keep the plan under wraps until after Israel’s April election.
‘It seems that everybody is in the loop, planning the Palestinian State right over our heads,’ Naftali Bennett said Wednesday, according to The Jerusalem Post.
On Thursday, the president ignored an Israeli reporter’s questions about whether Netanyahu had made concessions for a Middle East peace deal.
Many experts have said Kushner’s plan would be dead on arrival, though. The Palestinians have refused to meet with Trump administration officials since the president recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the U.S. Embassy there — changes long sought by Netanyahu.
Trump on Thursday also expressed hope that the escalating violence between India and Pakistan would end.
‘They’ve been going at it, and we’ve been involved in trying to have them stop, and we have some reasonably recent news. I think hopefully that is going to come to an end,’ he said at the beginning of his news conference, declining give details.
‘There’s a lot of dislike, unfortunately, so we’ve been in the middle, trying to help them both out and see if we can get some organization and some peace, and I think probably that’s going to be happening,’ he added.
The Kashmir region, which has been at the center of conflict between the two countries since the partition of India in 1940s, has seen tensions rise over the past two weeks after a suicide car bombing killed more than 40 Indian military personnel.
The Associated Press reported that India and Pakistan exchanged gunfire into Thursday morning, following an Indian airstrike in Pakistan earlier this week and Pakistan’s reported downing of two Indian warplanes and capture of a pilot on Wednesday.
Though Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for talks between the two countries, members of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party have called for more military action, the AP reported.
