    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    Its certainly a different strategy than what was tried for decades and went nowhere so far. We all know the definition of insanity, so might aswell try. Its not a wrong idea either, try to push Palestinians into some sort of a lasting deal whether they like it or not... Because the only deal...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    Possible, but costs a lot of money in the grand scheme of things. Not annoying kind of lot, but meaningful in the scale of national military budget, even budget in general. And even that is only tested at relatively low scale rocket bombardment seen in current status quo. At larger scale...

    And that doctrine about land claims is no joke, read it up: https://wheatfromthechaff.blogspot.com/2006/08/islam-and-west-al-andalus-in-context.html

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    As certain well known video suggests, that particular strip of land was changing hands all the time over most of history. The only unusual factor here is that islamic butthurt about territories lost knows no limits or shame.

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    It's a common idea, was taken into consideration back then even, along with a more joke version of creating Israel on Madagascar... The issue is, these places aren't the historical homeland of the Jews. All the Jewish cultural and religious sites (aka stuff people care about a lot) would still...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    That works so well only due to the current strict limits on dual use material imports. Without that factor, using a new decent car's worth in interceptor missile for every few hundred $ worth of bulk crappy rocket making materials would not be feasible for long.

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    Fundamentally different situations. US military could just go to Iraq, smash things, and leave. Any angry state or non state actors left there would be left oceans away from US territory. What are they gonna do? Make mean prank calls? Meanwhile, Israel can go and smash things in Palestine as...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    That sounds like a feasible solution on the face of it... But if you factor in the modern international cultural-political-media environment, it falls on that face. So the theory is, let Palestinians have a 100% sovereign and independent state, and if they use this as an opportunity to arm up...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    In long enough perspective, this attitude would make any culture mostly encircled by mortal enemies. It would not end well for them if these mortal enemies realized it and started acting accordingly.

    So just typical ancient age invasion things.

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    That would be Persians, not Arabs. Arabs only had the empire ruling over them switched.

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    It's opportunity and history never changing, not karma. Arab world went poking around Europe since 8th century, and only stopped after being utterly outclassed in military power around the industrial age. Of course we all know that in that age the european powers didn't exactly have a non...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    The biggest change from the norm i see there is writing in the recognition of the fact that things have changed since the 90's. Some alliances in the region have shifted as Palestine cannot count on Arab support as wide as before, settlements happened on a scale where they can't just be...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    Obviously depends on perspectives. If Palestinians want to have a culture disturbingly focused on the more or less violent, but definitely involuntary destruction of a certain sovereign state, and keep acting on it in any more or less futile and minuscule way that is available to them... And...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    According to this, they do have problems. https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/New-UNRWA-textbooks-display-extreme-anti-Jewish-and-anti-Israel-sentiments-study-shows-506174 Israel may realisticly get few Arab nations that it recently had aligned interests with, like Gulf States, Egypt...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    Even if it's not UNRWA specifically deserving blame for doing it, the video is just one of many, many examples where it does happen, and more likely than not, it was supported by some kind of international aid or another. The biggest gripe with UNRWA is Palestinian's special status as people...

    Trump's Attempt at Middle East Peace Plan for Palestine and Israel

    Yup, that would do it. At least if it succeeds and gets a death toll at very minimum in 2 digits. Leftist internationalist people. So they have appropriate aims... First off, they do eagerly subscribe to the underdog victim vs powerful oppressor narrative. And the rich vs the poor narrative...
