A resolution has been passed that says Israel cannot stay in Judea and Samaria with the US abstaining.
So What?
The reality on the ground is simple and mathematical.
There are a almost a million Jews (that will happen in a few years)
Those people will not go away and there is no place from them to go.
That is just a pragmatic concept that just cant go away.
The ideological abyss between Israel and the so called Palestinians is insurmountable.
Israel will NEVER withdraw from the old city of Jerusalem and the
Palestinians have never hinted at giving up on having Jerusalem as their capital.
This resolution will equate the smallest Jewish outpost with the western wall.
The negotiation process has never been more dead.
So now what?
Israel will add parts of Judea and Samaria to Israel.
It will happen while while Donald Trump is president of the US.
Israel would do well to add at least 500,000 Jews to Judea and Samaria in the next four years.
A million Jews in those areas will convince most about the impossibility of a Palestinian state.
A new wave of violence may happen but it cannot change things on the ground.
There is no place for so many Jews to go.
This resolution is the last gasp of those delusional people who believe in a Palestinian state.
It will never happen.

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

It's happening, its incredible!
There is a momentum swing and it spells trouble or even doom for Hillary Clinton.
If Donald Trump wins the election it will be the most shocking event in American Politics since the assassination of JFK.
Nothing less my friends.
The impact of an extreme right wing president in the white house will have immediate repercussions.
These will include an immediate 15-20% correction in the stock market.
An almost immediate interest hike by the fed of at least 1%.
Rioting in different parts of the US.
This will all happen before Mr. Trump takes the oath of office.
Afterwards things will get interesting indeed.
He will try to build a wall along the Mexican border and order the proper authorities to deport illegal aliens ASAP.
He will mostly try to deal with trade agreements to improve them as much as possible.
It might help if he has some wise advisers help him in his first few months.
It is likely that he will calm down his rhetoric in many areas.
He will be the first president that actually moves American embassy to Jerusalem.
How he will cancel Iranian deal no one really knows including himself.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Stay Tuned!

The Debate, it's happening.
Donald Trump doe snot prepare for debates, he thinks he knows what he needs to say and refuses to prep.
Hillary has been preparing and preparing and needs to do well.
She must realize that Trump has the advantage and needs to very well in these debates.
She would do well if she attacked his ignorance on many foreign policy issues.
People like Trump but realize that his knowledge of foreign policy issues are limited.
This probably will not hinder him from making correct decisions in that regard as he will surround himself with experts.
He will set tone and they will provide details.
But she can try.
It's her best bet.
She needs to make him look dumb.
A tall task indeed.
Trump just needs to stay calm and continue to hammer away on issues raised up till now.
He would do well to ask Hillary how she is feeling as many worry about her health.
She is a weak candidate and will likely lose.
President Trump has a nice ring to it.
When in New York he can stay at his Hotel.
It's going to be a lot of fun.

The Middle East, whats next?
As The Islamic state seems to be in decline the face of the new middle east is taking shape.
Saudia Arabia is now aligned with Israel in its fight with radical Islam.
The Palestinian issue whatever that means has become a non starter as few are discussing the problem.
Israel is dragging its feet in changing the discourse of the final status of Judea and Samaria.
Those with any common sense understand that Israel is not the problem but part of the solution.
Bold measures need to be taken by Israeli leaders.
Those measures are clear.
Annexation of parts of Judea and Samaria to Israel.
Those areas in Gush Eztion bloc and Maaaleh Adumim should become a legal part of Israel as the Golan heights were some thirty six years ago.
This should be done immediately.
Many of the Arabs in these areas will opt for citizenship or may wish to continue as permanent residents.
In any case they will benefit for improved health care and other social services.
The present situation of just waiting and waiting is ridiculous.
Benjamin Netanyahu is just sitting back and doing nothing
Sitting back and doing noting is not an option.
It never was.

BDS
Boycott Divest Sanctions.
It's the latest craze and its all the rage in some circles.
This veiled anti-Israel campaign is aimed at destroying Israel economically.
It will not work.
This boycott can do damage to people who work in Israeli factories which are often Arabs who find themselves unemployed.
The Israeli economy is too diverse to be seriously threatened by any boycott.
In fact in some circles the opposite is happening as Israeli products are being purchased to counter BDS actions.
Some numbers have been mentioned as to the extent of lost revenue but they are hard to verify as many products that are not sold in one place often find other markets.
The Israel economy is robust and BDS will not do it major harm.
Why then are so many fighting this movement?.
The answer lies in the true meaning of this movement and what it stands for.
It is the modern trendy age old anti-Jewish hatred rearing its ugly head.
it is no more than a new twist on the blood libel.
It is evil and must be eradicated.
It is not more complicated than that.
Did I say it would not work?
