I foresee huge issues not only in Israel and Palestine but spreading from there, if Trump gets what he wants in his pick for ambassador. The stupidity in the reasoning of them is just boggling my mind. Not that I'm 100% surprised.
I'd expect violence to get exported to the US to a higher degree, especially if that idiot Trump continues to skip intelligence briefings.
Americans will get what they deserve.
To explain just why it's idiotic, here's what he said:
"I think if you look at the Palestinians, they share something in common with the entire Muslim world, which is 90% or so of them are perfectly fine, good people. They've been hijacked by the 10% that observes radical, Islamic jihad. I think if you went to those 90% and said to them, 'Would you rather live under an Israeli regime or under a new Palestinian state,' I would be shocked if the majority of them wouldn't prefer Israeli rule," he said.
"If you're an Arab in the Middle East and you want the best economic opportunity, the best educational opportunity, the best health care, if you happen to be gay, if you happen to be a woman, if you happen to want civil rights and you're an Arab, then you really should live in Israel. That's the only place that's going to provide you with those rights and opportunities."
For those that are uneducated on the topic, the issue is two-fold:
1) The international community with the exception of the US, Israel and whatever tiny insignificant nation the US can coerce, agrees that the settlements and occupation by Israel is violating international law. Any reasonable equal standard any moral person can apply leads to that very same conclusion. The US further supporting this will be problematic.
2) What this idiot is suggesting is actually impossible, period. If all Palestinians were to live under Israeli rule they would by definition
not get equal civil rights. It would be 100% incompatible with Israel being a "Jewish" state, simply because there are more Palestinian Arabs than there are Israelis. Get it? So, the only two alternatives to either a two-party state or redefining Israel really is a de facto apartheid state, just more 'official', or expelling Arabs from the areas Israel will occupy and annex (which it is already doing).
This is terrible reasoning, void of humanism, morality, knowledge or intelligence.
Exactly what is to be expected from this coming kakistocracy.
