A travesty

There’s little or nothing to say about the Trump ‘deal’ on the Middle East, but I thought Fred Kaplan in Slate noted one aspect of it that pointed to just how farcical it is.

Or, as Kushner himself put it, in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, the plan is “a great plan,” and if the Palestinians reject it, “they’re going to screw up another opportunity, like they’ve screwed up every other opportunity that they’ve ever had in their existence.”

As Kaplan put it:

Fine words to coax an alienated people on board a plan that’s not of their making and that few of them could possibly desire.
