On Leaving the UN and NATO...Maybe

In my article last week titled “A Dangerous Symbolic Gesture” I dealt with how the United Nations and certain of our fellow NATO nations...as in France, the UK, and Canada...are now turning their backs on what was once their former ally Israel, and aligning with the UN's call for an “officially recognized” Palestinian State with full UN membership rights. And this got me to thinking about not only how dangerous the UN really is, but how there is now both a vocal and visual breach within our fellow NATO members ranks.

Politically siding with terrorists is one thing...as bad as it is...but to officially recognize them as a UN voting member “state” gives said terrorists both legitimacy and a worldwide platform by which to spew their nefarious cause, which in this case is to wipe the Jewish State of Israel off the map. And this has led me to also think about not just how the UN outwardly favors both those who commit terrorist acts...especially those terrorist acts committed against Israel...but how certain of our fellow UN members and NATO allies...most specifically France, the UK, and Canada...are now threatening to reward terrorists with their UN vote if Israel does not acquiesce to their specific set of demands in a misguided attempt at appearing relevant in the discourse regarding so called Palestinian statehood.

But in the scope of things those three nations are not as relevant as they want you or I to believe for their credibility and status is but in their minds alone as their countries are being overrun by the very sorts of people who engage in the same types of terrorist acts they now want to condone. And when this is added into the fact that the UN relishes in passing what are anti-Israel resolutions ad-nauseam, which has been their calling card for years...along with their decidedly anti-America sentiments...you really have to wonder why we and Israel are still member nations of what I call the “Useless Nations.”

And while we're at it we need to take another look at NATO as well for they, like the UN, so relish in taking what they can from us, but delivering little to nothing in return. And when the UN and NATO are coupled together it seems apparent to me that new alliances and friendships need to be forged.

So let's start with the fact that maybe it's time we walk away from the UN, the very organization that always seems to put global interests first whether they be right or wrong, thus they tend to ignore their own UN charter principals as laid out in “ChapterOne: Purposes and Principles”...which clearly states that the UN's goal is, “To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace.” Words quite laughable at this point in time I'd say, as the UN no longer even bothers to veil their antisemitic resolutions nor their condoning of terrorist initiated actions against the Jewish state along with the fact that they continue to reward seats on their “Human Right's Council” to countries whose governments are oppressive dictatorial regimes. It's no wonder President Trump pulled us off said council for obvious reasons that truly need no explaining.

And what I've just stated is never mind the fact that the UN can always be counted on to try and undermine our U.S. interests especially in regards to President Donald Trump's “America First” foreign policy objectives and agenda. In fact, some current UN resolutions actually do violate or clash with our Constitutional law in areas regarding Congress having been constitutionally granted the power to regulate treaties and international agreements...agreements which, at times, tend to see us in conflict with the ICJ...the UN's International Court of Justice (aka the World Court)...with the one calling for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's arrest for supposed “war crimes” quickly coming to mind. Thankfully though, any UN resolution, court verdict, or declaration that contradicts U.S. law in any way is not legally binding here at home, and rightfully so.

Also, in the UN's failing to abide by their aforementioned founding principle, we find the world today so far away from “universal peace” that we are actually skirting on the precipice of World War III. And with the UN having done nothing of substance to help defuse what are dangerous regional conflicts, it's my opinion that the UN's upcoming September meeting regarding Palestinian statehood actually fuels the flames that are the fires of war.

A few years ago former UN Ambassador, South Carolina Governor, and 2020 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley stated that, “When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action.”

And take our own actions we should if for no other reason than the monies we give to help fund the UN is disproportionately out of line with what our fellow member nations contribute. Remember, the U.S. has and remains the UN's largest financial contributor, and has been so since its founding in 1945. In fact, in 2023 alone...the latest posted numbers...shows that we contributed close to $13 billion to the UN which accounts for more than a quarter of their collective budget. And while every member nation is required to help fund the UN, President Trump recently called for a review of our funding based upon the fact that the UN has either been unable or simply unwilling to help solve or even help temper down any of the ongoing conflicts, while their overt in-your-face biases help to initiate, feed, or extend said conflicts.

Just imagine what $13 billion per year could do to help alleviate some of the problems/issues we currently face here at home. And if for that reason alone we have every right to turn our back and walk away from the very organization that does envision us...as do the terrorists and terror supporting nations...to be the “big Satan.”

Now as for NATO, what is the “North American Treaty Organization” and our oldest military alliance to date, NATO's relevancy in helping to keep Europe safe cannot be disputed. However, NATO currently has its own share of problems courtesy of what has been referred to as “geopolitical polarization”... ”polarization” to such a degree that in it's helping to divide the loyalties of its member nations it directly affected how NATO is supposed to operate. How so? One example can be seen in how what was originally a two nation conflict turned global...as in Ukraine v. Russia...and how it has driven a wedge between NATO members as to whether or not to ever accept Ukraine into the NATO fold. Ukraine wants desperately to join NATO, yet within the ranks is fear of what Russia...of what Putin...might or might not do if Ukraine did become a NATO member...a member who would be sitting right on Russia's eastern border.

And it's this very fear that helps weaken that which is the very fabric of NATO itself, while at the same time causes us to wonder if fear itself makes for strong and dependable camaraderie. And in my opinion, the way certain nation's leaders are acting I say it does not. And when coupled with what has become our disproportionate monetary and military responsibility, it has left me wondering if NATO and its headaches are worth us being a part of it anymore.

Again, and in my opinion, I say it's not, for like the UN the handwriting is on the wall, as both organizations relish in taking what they can from us while at the same time trying to throw a wrench into not just our alliance with Israel, but in their trying to paint us as being both warmongers and devoid of compassion for those who actually do wish us dead. Convoluted I know, but those with their eyes open would see what I stated as being the absolute truth.

So if we actually did leave the UN what would the outcome be? First, the UN would continue on for a given period of time, but most likely with much less relevancy and influence then they currently have or believe to have. The UN would in losing us as its prime money pit, also see its operational budget taking the biggest hit while terrorist supporting, anti-western“rogue nations,” start moving into the seats of power that we and certain of our allies once held, as those countries aligning with us would probably leave as well. And the “bad actors” who would now be in charge would, in time, collapse what is left of the UN from within...as the UN would have officially become not an instrument of peace nor of one supporting human rights let alone equality.

Simply, it's the U.S. and our fellow like minded nations that help to keep the UN's current radical ideologies, actions, alliances, and far left agendas somewhat in check...but for how long is the question.

And as for the actual physical aspect of our exiting the UN, besides the monies saved now being able to be used here at home, some foolishly do believe that we might actually turn isolationists, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Why so...because I believe we would immediately start forming new alliances that would help to counter or at least combat the negative spheres of influence that would be the hallmark of what would be the UN minus the U.S.

Now as for us leaving NATO, besides the monetary aspects of dollars saved (which is upwards of $500 billion per year) is the fact that while NATO was legally established as per our Constitutional requirements, today's NATO operates under what is called “collective defense principles”...“principals” that when signed on April 4,1949 did align with our national security interests, but do not with our “America First” interests today. 

Remember, when NATO was founded Europe was in the process of rebuilding after WWII, even as rummages of what became the “Cold War” were already being set into place. The then Soviet Union was looking to dominate Eastern Europe not via the physical aspects of war, but by communist party infiltration of the democracies of Europe. NATO was supposed to be the wall to block this from happening, and while it succeeded for a time, to look at Europe today one can see that said infiltration has already taken place.

Simply, it's time for Europe to start taking care of itself, especially now that Europe has already, to some degree, acquiesced to acts of terrorism becoming it's new norm. And besides, when three key UN and NATO members...as in France, the UK, and Canada...when the same three U.S, allies...actually threaten to side against the U.S. and Israel by rewarding terrorist acts, it really is time for us to exit what have become two no longer functional organizations.

So where do we go from here? Logic dictates that new alliances, new strategic partnerships. and new organizations, must be forged that are more in line with today's geopolitical reality while not conflicting with our “America First” mindset. We need to be onboard with nations that understand who the real enemies are and whose foreign policy initiatives somewhat mirror that of our own. We need to align with those who not only outwardly support Israel but who are not afraid to stand up to those who do not. We need to align with those who also see the U.S. as a valuable and much needed economic partner, but most importantly in today's volatile world we need to forge alliances with nations who do not coddle terrorists or reward their nefarious actions,

And so the “red lines” have been drawn...either one stands with the U.S. or with those who wish us all dead. Case closed.

A Dangerous Symbolic Gesture

“Canada condemns the fact that the Israeli government has allowed a catastrophe to unfold in Gaza,”                   - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney

On Thursday, July 31st, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize the “State of Palestine” at an upcoming September meeting of the United Nations...the reincarnation of the League of Nations in disguise...and do so if the fighting in what they call “Israeli occupied” Gaza has not stopped by then. And Carney believes that this, what amounts to a threat, would put pressure on Israel to stop their “supposed” starvation of Gaza residents...which has never existed by Israel's hand.

And so Carney's announcement, which he claimed was based upon assurances from the Palestinian Authority who claimed that reforms in its “governance” were ongoing, and stressed their willingness to hold general elections in 2026 of which Hamas “can play no part in,” saw Carney ignoring the fact that the PLO does tend to deal with “crossed fingers” behind their back when pushing forth their agenda. And Carney's announcement came but a week after France's President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will “officially recognize” a Palestinian state at said UN September meeting. 

And thus France became the first G7 nation to do so, while the next day the UK jumped onboard as their Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced that the UK will also recognize “Palestinian Statehood” at that UN meeting unless...again with the threats...Israel meets certain of their conditions. And what are the UK's conditions? First, Israel must agree to an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and second, the prospect of a “two-state solution” must be revisited. And upon hearing Starmer's words Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rightfully responded that the UK was rewarding, “Hamas's monstrous acts of terrorism”...to which I say no truer words spoken...while President Trump stated that recognition of a State of Palestine is wrongly “rewarding Hamas.”

So what might have caused our fellow NATO nations to turn their collective backs on Israel, and on Netanyahu?

• First, know that both France and the U.K. have for years been submitting to islamist demands after allowing their countries...hence their cultures...to be overrun by islamist anything but refugees.

• Second, in late May, France, the UK, and Canada demanded that Israel end settlement construction in the West Bank, adding that they would “not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions,” if Israel did not comply.

• Third, it's my opinion that some in the governments of France, the UK, and Canada are either veiled or openly anti-Semitic. Remember, some misguided sorts still blame the Jews for World War II and the destruction and hardships it caused. And when Hamas' actions of October 7th are coupled with the world's response or lack thereof to it, it leads me to believe that certain folks might actually want to help finish the job Hitler (thankfully) failed to complete, but do so minus their actually being physically on-the-ground involved, which is exactly what a UN vote for “Palestinian Statehood” would accomplish.

• Fourth, the governments of France, the UK, and Canada bought into the hype surrounding the now proven to be fake photo of a rail thin, almost skeletal Palestinian boy as being proof positive of Israel's starving the people in Gaza to death. Taking the media's word over the fact that the child was not and had not been starving to death, they willfully ignored the truth that said child suffers from cerebral palsy, hypoxemia (abnormally low levels of oxygen in the blood caused by pulmonary or heart disease), as well as having a serious genetic disorder.

And so this one photo saw the world's “bleeding heart” sorts, along with Jew-haters across the globe, helping to push the media's anti-Israel narrative that Israel wants all of the Palestinians dead. And they did so while ignoring the indisputable fact that it's Israel, together with the U.S., who continues to send massive amounts of humanitarian/food aid into Gaza only to have Hamas literally hijack said aid so that it does not and cannot reach the people in need.

Simply, if anyone is starving the Palestinians to death it's the Palestinians own Hamas brethren, who the people themselves did vote into power. In fact, American envoy Steve Witkoff, at the end of his recent Gaza visit, publicly stated that “there is no hunger in Gaza,” and that Hamas has “no reason not to negotiate”...which I take to mean that Hamas will not be surrendering anytime soon. And our Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also had a few words to say as well including that, “There is one reason there is suffering in Gaza, it's the same reason that 1200 people were massacred on October the 7th. It's the same reason that 250 people were taken hostage, 50 of them continue to be held hostage and tortured and that's because of Hamas. They are a terror organization and they've acted like it.” Blunt to the point words of truth too many do not want to hear let alone accept as fact.

And the words from members of the “Hostages Family Forum” also ring true as they wait for the release of their loved ones...or sadly their remains...still being held captive in Gaza. Saying that no recognition of a Palestinian state should come before all the remaining hostages are safely returned home and that, “Such recognition is not a step toward peace but rather a clear violation of international law and a dangerous moral and political failure that legitimizes horrific war crimes,” these folks understand better than most the true gravity of the situation.

And while they have appealed to the leaders of France, the UK, and Canada to reconsider their vote, Jonathan Panikoff...former deputy US national intelligence officer on the Middle East...stated that the push for recognition of Palestine as a “state” by France, the UK, and Canada is intended “to increase pressure on Israel to compel it to return to a two-state paradigm.” So while that might well be the case, said scenario is highly unlike as Netanyahu himself has stated that while he wants peace with the Palestinians, Israel sees any future “independent state” as a “potential platform to destroy Israel,” so “control of security must remain with Israel.”

Wise words indeed for it's now being reported, as I write this, that one Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, proudly boasted on the Qatar based Al Jazeera network about the role that Hamas' October 7th massacre played in bringing the issue of Palestinian statehood back to the international forefront. Saying that interest in Palestinian statehood and the “fate of Palestinians” was only achieved through the terror group's “resistance and the blow we dealt to Israel,” Hamad's words actually sounded more like a not so veiled threat of more terrorist acts possibly to come, which is exactly why Israel must remain in control of security in Gaza for her existence as the “Jewish State” absolutely depends on it.

And while Hamad continues to spew his rhetoric to anyone who will listen, there remains about a month before the UN meets to vote on official Palestinian statehood. But here I present to you these key facts before this vote takes place. First, while Palestine as a nation has already been recognized by 147 of the 193 UN members to date...Israel is recognized as a sovereign state by 164 of said 193 nations...what the UN now considers to be Palestine holds only a non-member “observer status”... meaning they cannot vote...while Israel holds full voting membership. Remember, being recognized as a “nation” is not the same thing as being an official UN member “state.”

So taking yet another vote on the same issue actually has no legal bearing as lands belonging to Israel are not the UN's to take away. The land in question cannot be given by the UN to the Palestinians or to anyone else without Israel's consent as per the “Palestinian Mandate of 1967” which not only “dismissed” the right of Palestinians to self-determination and statehood, but that the land they claim to be theirs was “voided of a legitimate sovereigncy.” Simply, the lands in question belong to Israel alone to do as she so wishes to do.

And that means that while France, the UK, and Canada...in a quest for political relevancy...will most likely “symbolically” recognize Palestine as a “state” come September, it is unlikely that the UN would be able to do so both legally and officially. Why so...because not only will the U.S. likely block such a foolish action, but because logic and the reality on the ground is unlikely to change even if “statehood” was to be passed. 

Remember, in the eyes of certain all-important key players the UN has proven itself time and again to be a neutered, Israel and Jew hating anything but conduit for peace.

So where do we stand now as the vote date is fast approaching? It seems that both Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu...the man trying to save his nation...might now be taking an “all or nothing approach”...as in “NO piecemeal deals"...to the situation by rightfully setting their own set of conditions which includes Hamas' full demilitarization of the Gaza Strip; releasing all the hostages at one time; that “temporary” administration of Gaza is under American leadership; and that if not agreed to by Hamas that Israel will launch a military operation to not only eliminate what's left of Hamas,* but to reverse what was then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's forced 2005 Israeli “disengagement from Gaza” in hopes it that it would brig peace...which thanks to Hamas' ongoing actions it did not.

And that seems to be the point we're at now, as I write this, for after last week's horrific video released by Hamas of emaciated hostage Evyatar David fearing that he's being forced before the cameras to dig his own grave, Netanyahu now has on the table the retaking of Gaza in full and eliminating what is left of Hamas...a good thing indeed for Yassir Arafat's made-up people along with their made up cause must accept as reality that they already have a homeland and it's called Jordan...let them rightfully go knock on the "kinglet" Abdullah's door. 

 

And all I stated has led me to think about how the UN outwardly favors both those who commit terrorist acts and those who reward them for doing so. And to that I say the UN itself and certain member nations are part and parcel to what has become a so-called Middle East “crisis of humanity.” Why so...because the UN condones or looks away from any and all acts being perpetrated against the Jewish State as witnessed by all their anti-Israel resolutions that have been the UN's calling card for years. And when you add that the UN is no friend to the U.S. as well, you have to wonder why we and Israel are still member nations of such a group of cowards who lack the guts and fortitude to discern who the real enemies of “humanity” are.

And maybe it's also time to take another look at NATO for they, like the UN, so relish in taking what they can from us and our true allies, but delivering little in return. Maybe new alliances need to be forged because what we have now does not seem to be working. We helped to save the world in two world wars, and now it's time to take out the terrorist trash for what we are witnessing regarding Israel v. Hamas, Israel v. turncoat nations, can easily turn into a nightmare that we might never wake up from. Something to think about as the UN's September pro-Palestinian, pro-terrorist agenda vote is fast approaching...something to think about regarding those turning on Israel like France, the UK, and Canada who in supporting said agenda says all one needs to know. Case closed.

Concessions v. Strength...Choose Wisely

By Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google

 

"If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing, it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before." 

- President Donald J. Trump words spoken on March 30, 2025.

Let's cut to the chase and start by saying that as I write this article the Trump team is still negotiating with the Islamic Republic of Iran to try and temper down the current Middle East situation regarding both the Jewish State of Israel and the now displaced Palestinian people remaining in Gaza. And while that's a lofty and honorable deed to attempt, the fact remains that we...the United States of America... should not be negotiating with terrorists, neither singularly, collectively, or as a nation especially after seeing all the harm that Barack Obama caused with his infamous “5 for 1” Taliban terrorist exchange deal.

You remember said deal...or at least you should...for it's the deal where Obama ordered released from Gitmo five detained Taliban terrorists in exchange for the American traitor Beau Bergdahl...and know its ramifications do haunt us to this day for the five's release directly led to more American military members being killed or wounded.

Sad indeed, for the fact is that throughout our beloved America's 250 year history our presidents have held to the policy of not negotiating with known terrorists...that is until Barack Hussein Obama became president and started on his “Apology for America Tour.” And while most elected officials on both sides of the political aisle do tend to abide by this very sentiment, unfortunately some others do not especially when it comes time for a vote if need be. And why so...because as recent events have shown more times than not negotiations with terrorist nations and/or their respective “bad actors” usually have proven to be counterproductive to peace especially when it pertains to any sort of lasting Middle East peace.

And the “Jewish State of Israel” knows this better than most as all their efforts to secure a lasting peace with her, for the most part, still hostile Arab neighbors have failed to date, no matter that Israel and the PLO signed the “Oslo Accords” back in September 1993. And yet Israel has continued over these many years to strive for peace, and has done so the point where some Israeli prime ministers knowingly made a number of unwise “concessions” in the hope that peace could finally be achieved. Even Israel giving the so-called Palestinians the enclave known as “Gaza” failed for its population elected the Iranian funded terrorist organization known as Hamas as its governing body, which in a warped sort of way gave a misplaced semblance of legitimacy to what remains Iran's terrorist proxy army.

Simply, “concessions” of any kind does not and likely will not work when dealing with terrorists...only a brute force show of strength will. Remember, strength in today's world, unfortunately, does revolve around who does and who does not hold their finger on the nuclear button. And when it comes to terrorists of the “islamic kind”...terrorists like those who emanate from Iran, and whose leaders do deem their war with others to be but a “Holy War”...it now is of critical importance that we, both the United States of America and the Jewish State of Israel, start flexing our muscle through acts of physical strength while at the same time making it clear that it is we who are setting the rules as to what will or will not be accepted on the diplomatic front.

Iran does not want peace...it cannot be said more clearly or directly than that. What Iran wants... actually what Iran demands...is not only their possessing nuclear weapons, but Islam gaining world domination with all knees bent in allegiance and submission to allah, along with Israel being wiped from the face of the map. And how exactly do we know this... because the qur'an in its own words dictates it so.

First, one must not forget that “concessions”...especially during these volatile and most hostile of times... does for some...seem to easily equate to “appeasement” of ones enemy, with “appeasement” than morphing into what on the surface would be a show of “weakness,” the very thing that neither the United States nor Israel must ever show. Why so...because “weakness”...even on what is the diplomatic front...allows Iran the time needed to gain what is a critical upper hand in the always present “court of public opinion.” And second, to the mullahs in Iran an enemy's “weakness” is but the Islamic driven “fuel”...if you will...that's needed to help reignite the misplaced and misguided religious fervor that is dictated by the words in the qur'an. Simply, when ones religion becomes a given war's driving force there is no backing down allowed for the faithful, for if they do so said person risks whatever punishment allah, the mullahs, and the qur'an so deems.

But no matter my words stated, the reality is that the indoctrination of hate runs deep within those deemed islamists and/or jihadists...individuals who will do and say every and anything necessary to win the mullah's deemed “Holy War” against Israel and the West. And that includes using “taqiyya”... as in the art of “lying”...to justify their means...an art so finely tuned that “lying” itself has now become a constant within said followers what passes for their inner consciousnesses.

And for this reason alone Iran cannot now nor ever be trusted to abide by any rules or agreements made with those they deem to be “infidels”...especially agreements regarding their maintaining uranium enrichment and eventually securing nuclear weapons...two points of contention...“red lines” if you will...that Iran deems non-negotiable. And to fully understand why, one does need to read and digest the words of the qur'an itself...words deemed holy to Islam's followers...words deemed weapons of war to we nonbelievers. Benjamin Netanyahu knows this well as he will not negotiate one-on-one with Iran. However, President Trump, on some level, still believes that he can bring an end to the Israel v, Hamas war...the what in reality is the Israel v. Iran war...as well as bring peace to the Middle East, and do so via open-ended diplomacy albeit with all possible options remaining on the table.

But as long as Iran exists under the tyrannical rule of the mullahs...and I cannot say this enough...I strongly believe that Iran cannot be trusted on any level for the qur'an remains their guiding force with it's words clearly non-apologetic weapons of war. Lying, deceit, and deception under the guise of “taqiyya” is not only permitted but demanded of the faithful for the act of “taqiyya” is of fundamental importance to Islam itself. And this importance is not just in regards to today's political whelm, but with it also being an accepted means by which to push forward the words and teachings of Mohammad...Islam's deemed “most perfect human”...and to do so by any and all means possible.

And while the concept of “taqiyya” is more commonly known to we nonbelievers, “taqiyya” is not the only accepted option by which Iran's mullahs and Islam's followers can do what the qur'an so deems them to do.   In fact, there are seven other types of what's known as “deceptions” that come into play as in: “thiyal, Adab al jadal, dawah, kitman, tafsir, darura, and muruna”... meaning declaration, argument/debate, proselytizing, trickery, expounding, necessity, and resilience respectively. All are definitions being used to help push islam's domination on those not of the faith, and do so by force if and when need be.

And all I just stated must not be forgotten for the sham of peace talks now going on with Iran...talks President Trump must know to be but proverbial “window dressing” of sorts that must be allowed to play out on the world stage before it rightfully collapses no matter any “concessions” Iran might have made...with fingers crossed behind their backs of course... or might not have made, And yet Trump still believes that a new pact with what is the Islamic Republic of Iran would block Iran's path to a nuclear bomb. 

Simply, it will not for it's my opinion that Iran's taking part in these talks is but a deception used to buy the mullahs time to not only complete their nuclear ambitions...which I personally believe they have already succeeded in doing with their possibly already having at least one operational nuclear bomb in their possession....but to use said time to regroup, refund, and rearm their scattered around the world proxy armies in preparation for a new wave of even more deadly offenses against Israel and we in the West.

Remember, the qur'an itself dictates to its followers that they must not bow down to or even befriend one who is islam's enemy or even a nonbeliever for fear of facing allah's wrath, something I think even the mullahs would dare not do...something a peace deal or any deal brokered by President Trump would indeed do. Benjamin Netanyahu knows this...he's always known this...and that's why Israel is rightfully holding back to wait and see how this all plays out for a signature on paper is easily erased when the shadow of mohammad's will hangs over all those involved.

Stand strong President Trump...continue to stand strong Prime Minister Netanyahu...for the strength of the United States and Israel united together in the hope of securing Middle East peace is stronger than the will of the mullahs, and even stronger than the supposed will of allah himself. Case closed.
