Trump,
in the middle of his own financial volcano ready to blow, decides to
create one more explosive policy as if he does not have enough on his
plate threatening his presidency. Maybe it is why he decided to throw a
nuclear bomb into the arena of Israeli, Palestinian and Middle East
peace threatening to tear its fragile status asunder. He says he will
declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel and ultimately (we know not
when) he will move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as he
campaign promised. As one says in Yiddish: now that's huzpah (nerve)!
As
a Jewish woman whose politics has been hewn out of the embers of the
Holocaust that saw the near extinction of the Jews of Europe, my
philosophy of humanitarian politics was born. This
latest political belch of Trump is, without a doubt, the most dangerous
policy he could create besides dropping a bomb on North Korea, a
distinct possibility too. Trump has an aversion to logic and no
understanding of both international and national politics. He
understands zero history of the Middle East or anywhere else for that
matter. Even his own advisors do not want him to declare Jerusalem
the capital of Israel because they know how inflammatory it would be.
Declaring
Jerusalem the capital of Israel is Bannon's influence on Trump and
plays into Trumpian tactics throughout his ugly life. The goal is to
create as
much chaos as possible both here and around the world. Trump declaring
Jerusalem the capital of Israel will get that accomplished. The Middle
East will blow up and Jews will
be killed in Israel and beyond. Innocents of every stripe will face
death and that includes Palestinians as well whom we all should care
about. We are of one race -- homo sapiens -- the human race. We
should act like the human big brain beings that we are and that 200,000
years of an evolutionary miracle has been bestowed upon us.
Even if diplomacy between these warring Palestinian and Israeli tribes is
difficult it is the only path outside of eternal war we have. No one, whatever one's political bent, should want eternal war!
For
your reading pleasure and to better understand how difficult the peace
process between Palestinian and Jew has been I paste below a link to a
chronology of the torturous attempts to create peace between Palestinian
and Jew since the 1967 Arab/Israeli war. We know hostilities go even
further back than that spreading throughout the entire Middle East. We
all should know Trump is trying to dismember, entirely, a fragile
cessation of hostilities that has itself erupted into violence many
times. Trump's impolitic move will put the icing on a tinderbox cake
ready to explode given the right conditions. Trump is such a condition.
Trump
is a malevolent and fatal cancer spreading throughout our nation
influencing right wing extremist politics here, throughout western
Europe and the world. This stage 4 cancer needs to be electorally
eliminated from our body politic before it, in fact, kills democracy and
our entire nation with it.
