Democrats will do anything to not want to give Trump credit for the peace deal, and anything to take the side of the murderous Palestinians, so, here’s the wackadoodle Washington Post leading the charge

Trump, hailing a ‘new Middle East,’ avoids the hard questions ahead

A ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Gaza war, the release of remaining Israeli hostages, and the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza were welcome first steps in addressing the long-running conflict in the Middle East. Whether they will mark what President Donald Trump on Monday called the “historic dawn of a new Middle East” is another matter entirely.

During a whirlwind, 11-hour victory lap in Israel and Egypt, Trump was rightfully congratulated for spearheading the deal that brought both Hamas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to heel.

But in speeches, Trump sidestepped any mention of the seismic chasms that remain in the region — including the West Bank, where about 3 million Palestinians live in an ever-smaller space under increasingly militarized Israeli occupation and threatened annexation.

He predicted the rapid expansion of the Abraham Accords, his first-term achievement of normalization between Israel and a handful of Arab states, but ignored the insistence of much of the rest of the Arab world that the path to a viable, sovereign state combining the West Bank and Gaza under the Palestinian Authority must come first.

Would this be the same Arab world which refuses to take the Palestinians into their own countries, because of all the trouble Palestinians have caused in the past (there’s also another reason)? Because the Palestinians are backed by Iran and work with, protect, and support Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups?

“Any end to the war in Gaza is good, and I don’t want to belittle it,” said Marwan Muasher, former deputy prime minister and foreign minister of Jordan. But “it’s the dawn of a new Middle East if the occupation ends.” Trump, he said, “didn’t really mention the Palestinians at all.”

“Every president before him, while predominantly catering to Israel’s needs, has still found some room to talk about Palestinian aspirations. None, in this case. None,” Muasher said.

Hamas lost, and the Palestinians who back them lost. Without Trump Israel would still be demolishing Gaza. If Palestinians want to be considered then perhaps they should act like they deserve it, rather than working to destroy Israel and kill Jews. They don’t have to like Israel and Jews, but, they have to live with them, because Palestinians cannot win. Stop the violence, stop the attacks, and just live your lives and there won’t be problems.

An international stabilization force is envisioned to provide security in Gaza until it can gradually be turned over to a vetted and trained Palestinian force. But while the United States has announced a 200-member U.S. contingent to supervise the ceasefire from a base in Israel, no country has publicly said it would participate in the stabilization force and there is no evidence it is being assembled.

See, the other part is that Democrats want to shit on the plan because the details have not been hammered out in full detail as of yet, despite the peace plan being less than a few weeks old, and literally just signed. They didn’t seem to have this same concern when the 1,800 page Obamacare was signed and there were few details, which took years to work out, eh? This whining about the full details continues on for many more paragraphs. The main thrust, though, is that we should think of the murderous Palestinians

‘Change what you teach your kids,’ Condoleezza Rice advises Palestinians looking for a state

Palestinians will need to change the way they educate their children, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on CBS 24/7 on Saturday alongside former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Without sweeping changes in mentality, there can be no path to true self-governance for Gaza, Rice noted.

In an interview, the two former Secretaries of State praised the new Gaza deal and discussed what needed to change going forward in the region.

“Change the lessons that you teach your kids about the state of Israel,” Rice advised Palestinians looking towards the possibility of a potential Palestinian state. “Don’t create another generation of Palestinians who believe that somehow the resistance is the way to peace and security.”

Interestingly, the Palestinian kids were learning this in lots of the UN sponsored schools. They need to learn to live with Israel, just like most of the other Middle Eastern nations. They cannot win against Israel. But, they can live good lives if they just stop.
