Menu There is no diplomatic solutionIsrael should declare three nos;
no to nuclear Iran, no to two-state solution, no to bi-national state

The most important sentence in Mrs. Bachmann’s erudite speech was this, “Israel was within two weeks of winning the war against Hamas.” Why was the IDF
victory stopped by Trump?

It is an important question to ponder, but there are no good answers to be found for it, to be sure.
Recall that the Trump administration was and remains fixed upon the expansion of the Abraham Accords as a basis of creating a strong enough peace so that America could finally make its pivot to Asia without worrying that the Middle East would fall apart and draw the US back.
Yet, the center of gravity upon which the AA was based was as an alliance which would keep the Iranians at bay. Indeed, if Bibi did not turn his planes around on June 24, the entire Abraham Accords enterprise might have begun to be questioned on June 25. The threat which Shia Iran poses to the national identities of the Sunni states is a powerful get which might keep the AA alliance alive as America becomes possibly entangled elsewhere. But, if those bombs dropped on Fordow, etc, had been pitched perfectly on target and eliminated the Iranian threat, or if Bibi led a decapitating strike on the Iranian establishment, there would be far less motivation to draw the Sunnis into breaking bread, as it were, with the loathsome Jewish state. Importantly, they might still have entered into the arrangements provided in the AA, but the price for them to do so would be much greater with no Iranian menace against which the AA would give balance, and the allegiance of the Sunni states to the AA might also be a bit less resolved without the threat of a nuclear Iran.
Was this the real reason why Trump seems to constantly resist the removal of the Iranians from the board? Perhaps or perhaps not, but it is an important aspect of the Middle Eastern society to understand that there is no appetite of peace for peace itself. Instead, peace, if it is to be hoped to be permanent or even semi permanent in the region, must first be entered in to on the basis of a common focus against a common enemy, following which the trade, travel and diverse economies might help create associated tethers to peace so that when the major threat is actually eliminated, the peace might still hold. As Gen. Avivi stated some months back, nations enter into alliances due to aligned interests, but when geopolitical changes take place, it is easy for national interests to become misaligned, and this is where treaties break down and crumble, even if they are not yet repudiated.
Just somethings to think about.
I never heard her before and now I’m so grateful. That’s what it looked like to me – exactly as she said: “And then Kushner comes out of no where….” Was he there all the time… but out of view I ask.
This is excellent. Michelle B. is amazing! Thank you!!!!
