In response to Mr.
Golden's December 15, 2017 opinion in the Metro West Daily News "Recognize Jerusalem as Capital of
Israel" linked below I could not disagree with him more. I have been an ardent
supporter of Israel up until two things occurred: (1) Netanyahu visited
the Republican congress and insulted president of the United States
Barack Obama who did not invite him (2) Trump, a sad excuse for a
president, took it upon himself to overrule even his advisors to do the
most utterly egregious thing he could - declare the capital of Israel
Jerusalem. It was the most insane piece of what passes for "foreign
policy" this know nothing unfit-to-be president president could do.
Announcing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was reckless if not
stupid. Just how does one think the Palestinians will react to that?
Will they say alright we give up it's yours. I suspect not. Already
two have been killed over this statement, many wounded and I am sure
more will be even in other lands. The intifada, once quiet, may now
resume. Jewish people may be murdered as well. The peace process no
matter how difficult should be pursued. It is the only way short of
eternal war killing many.
Trump
already has blood on his hands and will have more. I cannot think of a
more irresponsible, foolhardy, reprehensible and downright dangerous
statement for Trump to make. Then again it's Trump who did that not
because he cares about Israel and certainly not Jews no matter how
Jewish his window dressing orthodox son-in-law is. He is playing to his
puerile supporters to gain his stuck- in-cement base's support of 35%.
Trump cares nothing for anyone's life but his own. Sad!
