It's over

The charade has come to an end.
There will never be a Palestinian state in the same way as their was never a Palestinian people.
This bizarre national movement started by Yassar Arafat and others is dead and done.
It never realy existed except in the minds of people who could not come to terms with reality.
The stark reality of the return of the Jewish people to Israel is lost on many.
With Donald Trump assuming the presidency it is becoming clear though many refuse to admit that this crazy idea is dead.
So what happens now?
What should happen is the official abandonment of the "two state solution" by all involved.
Trump should offer full autonomy and lots of money to a group of pragmatic Palestinians who wish to better their lives.
Israeli citizenship should be offered on a limited basis to Arabs who truly wish to live at peace in Israel.
This should be a gradual process.
It won't be easy but it is the only way.
It will take years if not decades for this concept to sink in.
It needs to be started as soon as possible.
Schools in PA territory that do not incite to violence should be supported with the best teachers and best equipment.
The world needs to know that there never was or will be a Palestinian state between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean.
Continuing to push a concept that will never be is fruitless at best.
President Trump would do well to offer Arabs and Jews a better life with a real plan to live together in peace and prosperity.
Continuing to lie to the world about a Palestinian state that will never be is just stupid.

Fasten your seatbelts

It's hard to say but it looks like Donald Trump is going to shock the world on Tuesday and become president.
The momentum is his and there is the feeling in the air that he is winning and will become commander and chief.
If so What will happen?
Expect a 10 -15% drop in world markets
Expect the dollar to fall compared to other currencies.
Expect The fed in December to raise interest rates.
Expect after a week or so that markets start recovering.
It's going to be a bizarre world as Trump takes the oath of office.
Many believe that if Clinton seems a bit ahead in the polls that really means Trump is surging.
Hard to say but hell will break loose whatever the outcome of this election.
If Hillary squeaks by Trump will accuse her of cheating.
If Trump wins it will shake the world up very much.
Hard to see the loser congratulating the winner as is the American custom.
The interim days until the oath of office will be filled with interrogation and innuendo.
It's not even clear that even if Clinton wins she will take the oath of office.
It is bizarre but that might be the situation.
Hang on to your hats ladies and gentleman.
The worst or best is yet to come.
President Trump
Sounds OK
