Trump and Kushner’s Deal of the Century
Is a joke, as detailed in today’s Washington Post.
It was important for Israeli PR to have the failed talks at Camp David in 2000, where they pretended that the Palestinians refused to accept a perfectly good deal, which was no such thing at all.
But what’s the point of even going through this charade now when it will only serve to show that Oslo was a scam and that the Israelis are liars who only ever pretended to intend to implement a “two-state solution” of independence for the Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
“We believe we have a plan that is fair, realistic and implementable that will enable people to live better lives,” a senior White House official said Friday. “We looked at past efforts and solicited ideas from both sides and partners in the region with the recognition that what has been tried in the past has not worked. Thus, we have taken an unconventional approach founded on not hiding from reality, but instead speaking truth.”
“Better lives.” Not quite liberty and independence, is it? But hey, it’s just not “realistic” to think that Israel would ever let their Helots go, is it?
“We want people to be able to have the freedom of opportunity, the freedom of religion, the freedom to worship, regardless of your faith,” Kushner said in the Sky News interview.
Wow. All the Palestinian Christians and Muslims under Israeli control can now become Israeli citizens regardless of their religion??!!! Wowee. What a concession to the 18th century enlightenment.
No, of course that’s not what he means at all. He’s saying the Jewish Israelis will allow Palestinian Christians and Muslims to have whatever religion they want in their newly “autonomous,” but still perpetually occupied, territory. I bet they are so grateful.
If I was a Trump supporter I’d say this is some chess he’s playing to humiliate the Israelis and reveal them for the double-dealing, non-deal-keeping, lying, land rustlers that they are.
But I’m not, and he’s not. He’s just stupid and horrible and bought and so this is how things are.
After all, are you going to cough up a hundred million dollars for the GOP for the next election? Right.
WWII Bomb Explodes In Frankfurt River
What’s the over-under that Hitler’s stupid regime would have lasted as long as this bomb, had the US stayed out of it?

Free Thought Project Interview
I was interviewed by Matt Agorist and John Vibes on their great podcast the other day.
AIPAC Targets Sanders
The first Jewish president? Not if the Israel Lobby has anything to say about it. He’s not Zionist enough. And as we all know, there’s only one possible explanation for that: Bernie Sanders is evidently a vicious anti-Semite.
Space War? Please No
So the Pentagon is concerned about the fact that other nation-states aren’t simply surrendering to American hegemony on account of our threat to nuclear bomb them three times as much into oblivion as they will bomb us into oblivion? America builds a robust first-strike force, so Russia makes a couple hypersonic missiles to sort of kind of maintain Mutually Assured Destruction? Now the Pentagon is calling it a “space war”?
How about just not messing up space with so much debris that we can never get up there ever again? Forget having a future (not to mention a present).
How about admitting that MAD is a thing, and total spectrum dominance, total hegemony, aren’t going to happen? America might have to pay the market price of Tungsten. Our dysfunctional social, economic, and political front domestically might need actual reforms. We might actually have to compete with other nations on a fair playing field. Imagine that!
Nah! More battlefields, more weapons, more money, more general officer positions to be filled. Omnicide is someone else’s problem, right? Dante, you may have to open up a new, deeper circle of hell.
