Rapturously Received in the Knesset, Trump Tells Israel It Won the War, Now It’s Time for Peace
US President Donald Trump declared “the historic dawn of the new Middle East” in a triumphant address before the Knesset on Monday, as the final 20 living hostages were released from Gaza under a US-brokered ceasefire deal. Trump said it marked “not only the end of war, but the end of an age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God.”
He told the lawmakers that Israel had no more to achieve on the battlefield and must work toward peace in the Middle East, and said he would deliver a similar message to regional leaders in Egypt later in the day. The president pressed Israel to look past the war, saying it had achieved all it could “by force of arms.”
“You’ve won. I mean, you’ve won,” he said. “Now it is time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East.” — The Times of Israel
Our Take: President Trump just exerted himself onto the situation, and in doing so, completely rewrote the direction of the story.
Has Israel actually “won” anything? Not really. The Israeli economy is in shambles, decimated by the IDF’s mandated reservist program, and Israel’s public relations with the world is in poor shape, to say the least. Nobody in Netanyahu’s circle can really articulate what they plan to do with Gaza or the West Bank, other than to assert that it already belongs to them as a gift from God. But it seems clear that at least some people in the Israeli government intend to engage in an ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
So President Trump is now rewriting the story to give the Israeli political class a sense of accomplishment, much like he did the attack on Iran. In that situation, he ended the conflict and named it, as if in doing so he is codifying the engagement into the histories.
In reality, Trump just issued an ultimatum to the Israeli Knesset. He is telling them to stop warmongering and pursue peace. If they refuse and instead remain defiant, then President Trump has even reason to turn around and walk away.
What would happen next, I wonder? — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

Another Take: Remember how all the neocons and ConInc Twitter simps spent 2021-2024 making sure President Trump wouldn’t be in this position?
Notice how they’re all Israel First GOPe normies?
It’s like they didn’t want Trump to be successful in ending the “Israel constantly under threat” narrative. — Chris Paul
Hari ini dalam Sejarah.
ReplyDeleteYasser Arafat was born and bred in Egypt, and served in the Egyptian army. Like many Arabs he migrated to Palastin, where jobs were aplenty, created by the British and Isaac’s. And like all the Arabs he could not tahan the fact that the Isaac’s were doing so well. The term “Palestinian” was thus created, as if they were “bumiputra” when in actual fact like many Isaac’s who were from other countries, Arab, European etc, were all immigrants themselves.
Mirror this in Malaya. Just like Malays in Malaya coined the term “bumis” in the 70s just to exclude the Chinese and Yindians, when they themselves were immigrants from Yindonesia. They came to Malaya because of the jobs created by the British and Chinese.
Yasser Arafat was a lieutenant in the Egyptian army in 1956.
The Arab populations migrated from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Transjordan, and Saudi Arabia to take part in the prosperity of the growing Jewish towns refused to recognize the Jewish right to sovereignty.
They wanted the new state to be Arab, with Jews living under it. But the Jews had no intention of repeating history or living as a vulnerable minority ever again. So when they accepted the 1947 plan, the Arabs refused to have one.
It was a childish decision, like when my mother used to give me a small piece of cake and I refused to take it, hoping it would pressure her into giving me a bigger one.
So when the state of Israel was declared, the Arab armies attacked it in 1948, lost the war, and called it al-Nakba (“the catastrophe”).
Out of revenge, they expelled 850,000 Jews from across the Arab world.
But they needed a narrative, a clever way to keep the conflict alive. So they invented “Palestine.”
Suddenly, it wasn’t the Arab armies who didn’t want Jews in the land; it was “the Palestinians” and “Palestine.”
After the Arab League summit in 1963, Gamal Abdel Nasser gave the order to establish what became known as the PLO.
After a short interim leader, Ahmad Shuqeiri, an Egyptian lieutenant named Yasser Arafat became its president.

Fortunately Albo didn’t go, otherwise Trump might have humiliated him like he did Starmer….
ReplyDeleteThey all grovel for the Emperor
Starmer jumps like a lap dog when summoned, Donald Trump doesn't even use his name. This is the best Britain has to offer?
A greasy supplicant crawling while standing. Shameful. Watch until the end.

It’s time for peace. UNRWA has re-opened the kindies. Here is their 1st lesson for 6-year olds.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the UNRWA kindergarten curriculum, funded by the West.
What are they teaching toddlers in Gaza?
* Not Reading & Writing. They teach hating and fighting.
* Not Arts & Crafts. They teach dying as a "martyr."
* Not Math. They teach murdering Jews.
This isn't a humanitarian organization. It's a terror factory that produces one thing: endless war. The antisemitic UN is its biggest supporter. It's time to stop paying for it. Shut down UNRWA
