Its been dead-on-arrival each time proposed for nearly half a century. Israel wants conflict and instability, not peaceful resolution - the way its always been since its inception. It doesnt negotiate. It never has. It demands unconditional Palestinian subservience to its interests, yielding virtually nothing in return, the price long-suffering people pay, victims of Anglo- Zionist viciousness. In hindsight, analysts one day may call Trump the most one-sided, pro-Israeli president in US history - dating from the rape, slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948, Israel stealing 78% of its historic land, taking the rest in 1967. Netanyahu considers Trumps election a free pass to build endless settlement units on stolen Palestinian land. Wholl stop him? So far, Trump hasnt translated campaign rhetoric into policy. He wisely backed off on pledging to move Americas embassy to Jerusalem - an international city, not Israels exclusive capital no matter what its regime claims, regardless of laws it passes. Interviewed by Sheldon Adelsons Hebrew language Israel Hayom broadsheet, his rhetoric changed from telling AIPAC conference attendees last March that hed move the American embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem to now saying: Im thinking about it. Im learning the issue, and well see what happens. Its not an easy decision. Its been discussed for so many years. No one wants to make this decision, and Im thinking about it seriously. No nation has its embassy there. If Trump opts to move, hell breach international law, making America the only one. Hes been warned about potential consequences of a move this reckless. He also said hell explore possibilities for making what he calls the ultimate deal - what no other US leader accomplished, appointing his orthodox Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner to lead efforts to try negotiate Israeli/Palestinian peace. No deal is a good deal if it isnt good for all sides, said Trump. We are currently in a process that has been going on for a long time. Decades. A lot of people think that it cant be done. And a lot of smart people around me claim that you cant reach an agreement. I dont agree. I think we can reach an agreement and that we need to reach an agreement. I want Israel to act reasonably in the peace process, and that it will finally happen after so many years. And maybe there will even be a possibility of a bigger peace than just Israel and the Palestinians. I want both sides to act reasonably and we have a good chance at that. Throughout its entire history, Israel never acted reasonably - especially on issues regarding Palestinian rights. The only peace Israel will accept is unconditional Palestinian surrender - impossible no matter what its longstanding collaborative leadership does or doesnt do. Israel controls around 85% of historic Palestine, including greater Jerusalem and virtually all valued West Bank land. Long ago a two-state solution was possible. No longer. The only feasible resolution is one state for all its people, what Israel will never accept, assuring endless conflict as far ahead as one dare imagine. Trumps lofty rhetoric is meaningless.

If Netanyahu can piss of Obama, he'll have NOOOO trouble pissing off Trump. I think Trump will get sick of Netanyahu within a year, and when he does, Israel will be relegated to a low priority, "tuned out" status by Trump.
Tramp is in the back pocket of jew land and has been kissing their ass for years. When Nothing Yahoo visits the WH, Tramp will be on his knees.
