Trump to Palestinians: Your Fired.


A radical turn against 30 years of consensus amongst all of the West and most of the Muslim Middle East was abandoned with a flippant and very Kardashian: Whatever.

If there is no 2 state solution then you are condemning millions of Palestinians to a colonial status. No besides Trump and Netanyahu believes that this is possible.

This goes beyond complicating the situation in Israel it means that when the US comes to an agreement, when it broker's a coalition among NATO and other countries and reaffirms it for decades, that it can all be reversed when a 31 year old son in law of the Nut in Chief tells his father in law that he should abandon central pillars of US international policy.

From here on out, for a considerable time, no other country will give the word of the US any value.

(or any other) very complex situation. And he probably never even tried to review the history involved, or how previous administrations had tried to resolve the Israel-Palestine matter - so he's just talking out his ass, like he always does, and revealing his ignorance, like he always does. He probably thought he could just make a "deal" and it would all be taken care of. Or worse: "Whatever." 40 years of careful diplomacy down the toilet.
