I just read the Trump administration's "Vision" for Palestine….

Its essence is that the Palestinian people are retarded, but the US and Israel are prepared to usher them into Civilization.  The only caveats are:
(1) Palestinians must forfeit about half the West Bank–this is called a “significant concession” by Israel and “in the spirit of” UN Resolution 242;
(2) Until they achieve Civilization–as certified by the US and Israel–Palestinians can’t have a “state”;  and
(3) Even were this “state” to eventually materialize, it would not possess any attributes of sovereignty–indeed, Israel would even maintain the right to decide, as in Gaza, whether a “dual-use” item such as cement and medical equipment can be imported by this “state.”
If this Vision fails to inspire, I would recommend this vision instead.
If there is a merciful Lord up high in heaven, each and all of the wall’s bricks will come tumbling on the heads of Trump’s vision-makers.
But alas, until and unless Palestinians seize control of their destiny, this vision is as  removed from reality as Trump’s.
