A recent article that appeared in the March 28 Wall Street Journal, “The Two Americas Have Grown Much Fiercer”, by Peggy Noonan, is part of an editorial trend of late decrying the divided state of America in these times.  As is typical in these pieces, the author does not place the onus for our fractured state on one side or the other, but instead promotes a theme of “Can’t we all just get along?” From the point of view of the “Trumpian” camp, this writer is here to reply with a resounding “no”, at least not until the core issue that motivates the tens of millions of Americans who support our sitting President is addressed

A successful pursuit of peace is preconditioned upon the predominance of reality over well-intentioned eagerness to produce peace. The latter is frequently tainted by oversimplification, short-term considerations and wishful-thinking.

The illegal effort to destroy the 2016 Trump campaign by Hillary Clinton campaign’s use of funds to create, disseminate among court media, and then salt among high Obama administration officials, a fabricated, opposition smear dossier failed.

So has the second special prosecutor phase of the coup to abort the Trump presidency failed. There are many elements to what in time likely will become recognized as the greatest scandal in American political history, marking the first occasion in which U.S. government bureaucrats sought to overturn an election and to remove a sitting U.S. president

Unilateral disengagement from the West Bank, which Israeli PM candidate Benny Gantz seems to support, would have far-reaching adverse implications for Israel in the security, economic, social, infrastructural, and ecological spheres.

לא נעלם מכל מתבונן ישראלי שמעורה בנעשה במדינה, מי אלה שחשים הזדהות עם המדינה היהודית ותורמים לביטחונה, ומדברים בעדה בכל פורום בארץ ובחו"ל; ומנגד, מי חורש לה רעות וצרות. ההצבעה בעד החוק איננה בשום פנים הצבעה נגד בעלי ברית וותיקים שמוסיפים כבוד וכוח למדינה ומאבקה להישרדות וצמיחה. בנימה מבודחת, אומר, לא הבעתי איבה לכלל הנשים כשבחרתי באשתי.

מנהיגי המדינה לא צריכים להתנצל שחוקקו חוק שתכליתו להשתית את המדינה באופן בלעדי על הלאומיות היהודית בארץ ישראל. השמים לא נפלו, הבשורה בכפלי התקומה הפלאית תשודר בגאון, וקיבוץ גלויות יקרין את ייחודו של עם ישראל בשובו הביתה. החוק הוא סיבה לחגיגה, לא פילוג או השמצה כפי שגורמים משמאל ומרכז המיטו על מעשה החקיקה ב-29 ביולי השנה.

The onus has been shifted, and previous understandings swept aside. Israelis must respond with imagination and magnanimity and Palestinians with the recognition that this is not 1948, 1967 or 1993. The Unrwa decision is a new opportunity, and Palestinians should embrace it.

Are the millions of descendants of Arabs who in 1948 fled Israel real "Refugees" deserving UN, US and most European and Arab countries financial support?

Here is David P. Goldman's article about the so-called "Palestinian Refugees." It is a short article but mighty in importance.

Never forget the fact that the larger number of Jewish refugees who were chased out of Arab countries were completely absorbed and housed in Israel by 1955, while the smaller number of Arab refugees who fled Israel were never absorbed by the Arab countries to which they fled. 

An important article by Vic Rosenthal, A.K.A. ABU YEHUDA.

It provides a lot of food for thought, however, I do not share the pessimism hidden in the article's title.

So far the Zionist national right in Israel is strengthening and growing and the viral revival of anti-Semitism in the West and the left ensure Israel as a national home of the Jewish people.

A brilliant example of the late commentator Charles Krauthammer intellectual honesty and his incisive analysis of the Arab-Israel conflict, brought here in memoriam.

No additional words from me could possibly add to this incisive and brilliant article by the late Charles Krauthammer, written in 2002. A must read for all, and please resend it to your family and friends.
