With hopes for peace uncertain, Trump heads to Israel

Israel isn't at all willing under Netanyahu. Trump is so out of his depth, it isn't funny. With the attention span of a gnat, his stupidly simplistic way of thinking may work in the US for a limited time but it just doesn't cut it when it comes to world affairs.

Sure, and for his next amazing feat he's going to open a little lab in the West Wing and find a cure for cancer.

Israel isn't at all willing under Netanyahu.

Why would they be? Despite his strained relationship with Obama, they still received $40 billion in aid, the largest amt. to any country ever. I still remember how puzzled Susan Rice was that Israel was unwilling to endorse a two-state solution.

...finding a solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict is "maybe not as difficult as people have thought,"

Said the same guy who said

"Now, I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject," he added. "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated."

No visit to Al-Aqsa mosque, number 3 mosque in the world?

his speech in Saudi was painful.  not sure how anything he says in Israel will move this forward.

In the words of Drump, "Nobody knew peace in the Middle East could be so complicated. I mean who knew!" LOL!

....and maybe Trump really is as dumb as he seems.

In the immortal words of The Zohan's mother, "They've been fighting for two thousand years; how much longer can it take?"

Trump is already "exhausted" just three days into his "don't talk about Russia!" tour.

"But we need two willing parties," he continued. "We believe Israel is willing. 

The Palestinians are not willing. Any Palestinian leader that makes a deal with the Israelis that acknowledges their right to exist will be assassinated - everyone knows that. No one more so than Abbas - as did Arafat before him. There can be no deal for a two state solution as long as the Palestinians are used by terrorists and certain Arab countries as bargaining chips for the elimination of the state of Israel.

["But we need two willing parties," he continued. "We believe Israel is willing. We believe you're willing. And if you both are willing, we're going to make a deal."]

So Iran is ready to talk, has gone out of it's way to show it means it, but the US or should I say Republicans are not ready to talk. Instead they use dangerous rhetoric, accusing Iran of terrorism, while giving Saidi's, who lead the world in terrorism, a trade deal worth billions.

The only reason Iran would not get a nuclear weapon, if they really wanted one to begin with, is because of Obama and the rest world. Not because Repucks tell them they wont or threaten them.

Lastly, while assuring the Isreal government that Iran will never have nuclear weapons, how many nukes does Isreal already have? We know they have them, just not sure the actual figures which is much more dangerous then a nation not even having them yet.

On a side note, he was respectful enough to wear the skull cap for Isreal, but could not have the same respect from his wife and daughters for all Muslims with them wearing a simple hard scarf while is Saudi Arabia. Double standards all around.

Uhh, the Arab world has their culture and America has theirs own as well. The First Lady is free to wear what she wants and so is the President. Having ones own culture does not imply disrespect for another.

 "Many people are saying it was wonderful that Mrs. Obama refused to wear a scarf in Saudi Arabia, but they were insulted. We have enuf enemies,"

Trump

not so much hypocrisy as stupidity on the part of so-called president's, and Obama critics generally. They didn't know, or bother to check that, headscarves are not required for foreign visitors (incl current and previous First Ladies). Dress code is an abaya.
