While Democrats complacently stand by watching as domestic terrorists
tear former model cities of liberalism such as New York and Los Angeles to
shreds, President Donald Trump's efforts began producing true peace in the Middle
East.
As written in today’s New York Post by Michael
Goodwin: “The agreements
signed (yesterday) at the gathering on the South Lawn of the White House are fittingly called the Abraham Accords.
They mark a new era of trade, tourism and
opportunity for millions of Jews, Muslims and Christians in the region.
“Trump clearly
savored the moment but, ever restless, says he’s not finished yet. He told
reporters he believes the Palestinians eventually will want to negotiate and
predicted that, if he wins a second term, he will make a deal with the
Iranians, too.
The changes, he
said, are just the start of a “new Middle East.” Only a fool would quibble on a
day as big as this one.”
Goodwin’s article itself (link attached) is a well-written condensation
of how and why Trump’s policy in the region brought the parties to the table, underlying
premises being assertion of U.S. strength coupled with a complete reversal of eight
years of Obama mismanagement.
Goodwin writes: “Big decisions have big
consequences and Trump’s Mideast policy is remarkable not only for its success,
but also for its unprecedented approach. The contrast with Barack Obama is
especially dramatic.
“Until Obama, recent presidents of both parties followed a similar script
of supporting Israel while being a buffer between it and its hostile Arab
neighbors. The goal was to be an “honest broker” while guaranteeing Israel’s
security as long as it respected American interests in the Arab world. Those
interests included oil and, increasingly, funding for the perpetually bankrupt
Palestinians, who returned the favor with massive corruption and by making
“martyr” payments to the families of terrorists who killed Israelis.
“These transgressions were apparently minor obstacles to Obama,
who believed he knew best. He thought he could lure the Muslim world to his
view by apologizing for past American behavior and promising to restrain Israel
and forcing it to make concessions to the Palestinians.
“Incredibly, he
even urged the Palestinians not to negotiate with Israel until Israel stopped
constructing and expanding settlements in the West Bank. Obama openly disliked
and insulted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, once forcing him to
leave the White House through a back door, and secretly used American funds to
try to defeat Netanyahu in an election.
“His record was
perfect — a perfect failure. There were, for example, zero serious negotiations
between Israel and the Palestinians for the eight years of the Obama-Biden
administration.”
Seen as a first and major step toward bringing
regional peace, Saudi Arabia may soon align as well, the agreements also reflect
skills and capabilities of Trump himself. Yet, despite his outstanding
rebuilding of the U.S. economy, enormous job creation across all races, establishing
America as an energy superpower, ratification of USMCA, border security efforts, using tariffs to
effectively force the Chinese Communist Party into a bargaining posture, dramatic
VHA improvement, worldwide troop reduction and the elimination
of terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, hatred for the president is still rampant
throughout the major media.
As noted by Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor of the First
Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas were Trump to walk on water, major media
reports would flash that “Trump can’t swim!”
That’s it for today
folks.
Adios
