    Trump just brokered the most significant peace deals and the media is silent.

    Peace between UAE and Israel
    Peace between Bahrain and Israel
    Peace between Sudan and Israel
    Peace between Amenia and Azerbaijan

    Few would expect the public relations department and marketing arm of Pepsi to ballyhoo achievements of Coke.

    An agreement to talk is a far cry from peace in the Middle East. We've been down that rabbit hole too many times to believe otherwise, regardless of one's political affiliations.

    It appears you cannot distinguish between bringing peace and paying lip service.

    Oh please. Had Obama accomplised the same thing as president then it would be ALL the news anyone would hear from the mainstream media for month after month. Why pretend otherwise? As it is the MSM mentioned it in passing, damning it with the faintest of faint praise . . . essentially mumbling, "This Trump guy which we in the MSM loathe . . . managed to create peace in the Middle East. In other news . . . Trump tweeted something MEAN!"

    "Silence is violence."

    They don't want to discuss this because it makes Trump look good. They'd cover it as long as they could create a talking point to demonize it, but they cannot demonize peace. Remember when Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, they covered it because they could put John Kerry out there to claim Trump's reckless actions will create war in the Mid East.

    Trump's the worst, no new wars, first time in 40 years a US president has not started a new war or conflict - gotta hate that

    Historically low unemployment, soaring stock market and 401Ks, increasing wages and median incomes, manufacturing jobs growth, having Biden admit the USMCA much better than NAFTA, all things CNN and MSNBC need to be silent about.

    Israeli planes are now able to fly and land and trade with nations they never could under Obama or Bush?Lasting peace is not something we will have over night, can't we be happy about these historic steps in the right direction? "HELL NO, WE HATE TRUMP!!"

    Nothing is going to come of this until Netanyahu is out. When I was in Israel I was surprised how much the people understood how much Netanyahu stood in the way of peace because fear always got him re-elected. He understands exactly what is politically expedient for him and has always led that way.

    Agreements begin with talks, which wasn't happening until Trump brokered the meetings.

    The news told us Trump is a warmonger before he was elected. Therefore this supposed peace is fake.

    Whats so hard to understand about that?

    Maybe we should wait until the eggs have hatched before we get a headcount of all our chickens, yes?

    Interesting question. If I say yes, does it give my post more clout?

    Let's apply Jared's formula to this situation and replace "blacks" with "Jews".

    “President Trump’s policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they’re complaining about, but he can’t want them to be successful more than they want to be successful,”.

    In other words, it doesn't matter what we want or broker unless those parties involved want it. Netanyahu does not want peace. He wants to continue receiving the billions of dollars the US sends him to keep the military peace. He's not going to jeopardize getting US dollars by reaching a peace deal.

    I support pulling our foreign aid from everywhere. Including Israel.

    We should, instead, offer a mutual protection agreement to anyone that can avoid starting **** with their neighbors, and allow us to keep observers around to witness that they arent.

    Being a tourist does not give one an accurate view of a country's problems. Israel, like America is ethnically, religiously, culturally and politically diverse. Israel is the Jewish homeland but it's problems are not exclusively Jewish. Currently Israel has a better chance at solving their problems than America does.Time was when travel in Israel was like being in a war zone, today things are much better, not perfect but better. Netanyahu had a lot to do with this, he is not perfect but he understands Israel's problems better than anyone and wants what is best for Jews and Israel.

    So you are Jewish and live in Israel?

    I'm quite aware of the diversity and the competing issues.

    No and no. I am a traveler for both pleasure and business and business requires an understanding of the culture of clients akin to family. I have successfully done business with both Jews and Arabs and many are friends.

    I'm glad you have diverse friends and that you're able to adopt their perspective as your own. That's an important strategy when it comes to business and making money.

    In truth, I don't believe it's a complicated as you do. It's about greed and power. Everything derives from that. Along the way you have those citizens who truly believed policies were instituted for the good of the people but in reality it's all smoke and mirrors. A way of manipulation. Take away the leaders and their poisonous narratives and put people together and they figure out how to live and thrive with each other.
