'Not a Peace Plan' - Robert Malley and Aaron David Miller Op.Ed.

The Real Goal of Trump’s Middle East Plan

The Trump administration’s long awaited and ill-named peace plan has many objectives, but making peace isn’t among them...

In short, this is a plan that gives Israel everything it wants, concedes to Palestinians everything Israel does not care for, tries to buy the Palestinians out with the promise of $50 billion in assistance that will never see the light of day, and then calls it peace.

Robert Malley is president and CEO of the International Crisis Group. He was the White House coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf Region under President Obama.

Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment and a former State Department Middle East analyst and negotiator in Republican and Democratic administrations.

is going to buy off thousands of years of soul deep hatred.

Everyone is willing to sell out their religious beliefs and bigotry if the money is right? Right?

If fine white people can take the deal, why not half-human brown muslins?
