Trump makes more demands - Trump - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 1.41pm post the following, " Trump suggests Saudi Arabia and Qatar sign Abraham accords as part of Iran peace deal "

Let's Get Real:

Sometimes this blog thinks POTUS is just nuts, Arab States have to worry about the Arab Street.  The feeling there is that the Palestinians should have a STATE or the chance of one in Gaza and the West Bank.  Is Trump trying to sink any deal with Iran, the blowback from Republicans and even Democrats has been severe, does Trump want to go back to bombing Iran.  How can the Master of the Art of the Deal Deal be so out of it, unless a strategic move, one does wonder.

Gaza Peace Plan ? - Trump47

Guardian: Reports in its 7.59pm post the following, " Trump demands Hamas to accept US plan to ‘end Gaza conflict’.....“We’re not quite finished,” Trump says. “We have to get Hamas, but I think they’re going to be able to do that. So now it’s time for Hamas to accept the terms of the plan that we’ve put forward today.” "

Lets Get Real:

The question is will the terrorist group Hamas agreed to the deal with giving up power to the Board of Peace headed by POTUS, with Tony Blair on board.  It really depends how much Israel  has hurt them and if they still have a structure.  The agreement by first glance works for ISRAEL, they have agreed to a Trump idea, if Hamas say no the President has given them full support to take out Hamas.   Also Israel has made it clear it will never allow Palestinian State, whatever Europe wants, and this view they are supported by Trump 47.  If Hamas had a brain cell, it would agree to the plan and try to change the plan in the tent than throwing water on to the tent.   The White House and the media await news from Gaza.

UK Blackmails Israel over Palestinian State - Trump47

BBC News: Reports in its 4.50pm post that the UK will recognise a Palestinian State in September in less Israel agrees to its demands.

Lets Get Real:

This is pure blackmail by Sir Keir, he has no real backbone, he falls in line with his rabble of MPs in the House of Commons, who have seen him U - Turn under pressure.  NO wonder he took the picture of Lady T down, she would not have been impressed with him.  Anyway all that matters in this case is what Daddy says, that being President Trump.

Trump dismisses French view on Palestinian State - Trump47

Sky News: Reports in its 3.25pm post thar President Trump has dismissed the French call for a Palestinian State.

Lets Get Real:

The French or the UK does not matter, its Daddy view that rules, in this case its Trump Oval.    The Trump Oval leads the West, its the only super power left, Russia is irrant on the World Stage.  The House of Commons in the UK can shout as much as it wants, this will not change a thing, and that goes for the UK's FCO, who hate Israel.  AND the UK Government wants to change the voting from 18 to 16, the lunatics are running the asylum.

Palestinians should move to Egypt and Jordan- Trump47

BBC News: Reports that President Trump has stated that Palestinians in Gaza should move to Egypt and Jordan.

Lets Get Real:

This is not a bad idea, the two state solution, is as dead as dodo, everything has been tried from the Presidencys of Bill Clinton to Bush 43, and Palestinians have said No, they got nearly all they wanted from Bill Clinton but would not bend a little.  Thus the Palestinians should think about this plan, and not just say NO, the West would give funds, Jordan and Egypt would be doing a big favour for the Palestinians, the rich Arab countries could be expected to give money, its an idea worthy of discussion.

Hezbollah fires rockets in to Israel - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports that Hezbollah has fired 140 rockets in to Northen Israel from Lebanon.

Lets Get Real

Israel should take this time to plan and invade Lebanon, kick Hezbollah out of Lebanon, finish the threat from the North, make sure Gaza is secured and start talks with the Palestinian Authority for the formation of a Palestinian State that is not a threat to Israel, a non military state! 

West Bank Update - Gaza - Israeli War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " Israeli strikes in the West Bank kill at least 10, Palestinian officials say, as city of Jenin 'sealed off'...Israel has launched raids across the West Bank. Elsewhere, in Gaza, overnight attacks in the city of Khan Younis killed at least 16 people.  "

Lets Get Real:

The most interesting aspect of the above is how the Biden Oval will react, and if the candidates will be asked by reporters on their campaign planes and buses.  Thus far outside the Gaza DEMOS at the American Universities and some demonstration at the Democratic Convention there has been a lack of specifics from the candidates, the debate between Harris and Trump is not far away, also there is the question of the Ukraine, the Donald has stated that he will end the WAR in one day, HOW? What will the candidates do about the tensions in the Middle East.  On whose side are they, Harris needs the ethnic vote in the Swing States, while Trump will need some of the Jewish vote, thus will paint Harris as pro Palestine State.   A week is a long time in politics, time for  foreign policy to trip up the candidates.

Has the front moved from Gaza to the West Bank ? Gaza - Israeli War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.40pm post the following, " As night falls here, Palestinians will wonder what's next...In a Middle East that is already fraught with tension, this is another dangerous moment.....Israel’s most widespread military operation in the occupied West Bank is ongoing with reports in the last hour of fierce gun battles between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in the northern city of Jenin.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Israelis and the US believe that Iran is smuggling weapons in to the West Bank, that could be used if Iran decides to strake Israel  after the assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran.   This assassination has not been confirmed by Israel.   The Hezbollah terrorist group has attacked Israel for its killing of a Hezbollah leader in Beirut.  Thus through the smoke one can see the Tehran's plan should they follow through with it, fire better missiles at Israel, better than the previous attempt and get the West Bank to raise up against Israel, the pro Arab FCO in the UK would try to support the Palestinians in the West Bank, no matter the truth.  The War in the North is coming, there are thousands of Israeli people who have left the North as they under threat from Hezbollah day and night, these people want action from the Israeli Government.   Winter is coming and it will be bloody. 

Iran says it has a DUTY to PUNISH Iran - Middle East Crisis - Biden Era

Guardian: Reports " Iran says it has duty to punish Israel over killing of Hamas leader in Tehran "

Lets Get Real:

Thus nothing from Iran, just the words of fury, it might mean that the some of the elite in Iran who want caution might be wining the argument about not jumping the gun.  On the other hand the latest statement might mean that Tehran is getting its ducks in the row before hitting Israel, and pushing the Israeli Government to take action that could lead to a regional war, LST TIME it took Iran 12 days to react, one does wish that the Biden Oval has some influence in the region, but the Biden Oval is weak, its is not running for re-election and the VP is not trusted in Israel, she is seen as more supportive of the people of Palestine than of Israel.   The next few days should tell us the direction of travel, its waiting that makes you worried that Iran will do something that forces Israel and the US to take direction against Iran.  Lets recall that the US Secretary of State has stated that Iran it two weeks from break out to having the bomb.

US Drones Terrorist in Iraq - Israeli - Gaza War - Middle East - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.10pm post the following, " 

US says it conducted strike killing Kata'ib Hezbollah commander....

US Central Command said in a statement that its forces conducted the "unilateral strike" as part of the country's response to an attack on American troops in the region two weeks ago.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Biden Administration has stated there would be further strikes on terrorists after the Iran backed terrorists killed three Americans two weeks ago in Jordan.  The Tehran Regime did not react after the American strikes, will they react NOW, Tehran has been cagey in allowing others to die for their agenda.  Let's hope that the Biden Oval did not warn Iran about this strike, they warned with other strikes. In the Middle East its an eye for an eye, it has been like that for a thousand years, the Israeli Government has just rejected the Hamas Counter offer for a  truce.  The US Secretary of State was hopeful for talks, the US State Department and the FCO in the UK have always been pro Arab, the Secretary of State in the Truman Administration did not want to recognise Israel as a STATE, the US President Harry S Truman over ruled  him.   The Biden Oval cannot trust the State Department and the same for the UK.  The US and the UK cannot force Israel to accept a Palestinian State that would be a THEAT TO ISRAEL.  The State of Israel must be allowed to kill off Hamas in Gaza, then we can have talks. 

Tanker hit in the Middle East - Israeli - Gaza War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Oil tanker on fire after Houthi missile attack, firm says.....An oil tanker is on fire in the Gulf of Aden, its operator says, after Houthis said they hit it with a missile.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US and the UK should consider sending in Special Forces to take out the Houthi, they are a threat to the Western economy, let's recall that there are elections in the US and UK.   The West does not need high inflation at the moment, also the Houthi are terrorists, they need to be destroyed, they are using the Israeli - Gaza War to show they are a power in the region, they are supported by Iran, another terrorist state.  One of these days the Houthi will hit a Royal Navy Ship or one of the US ships in the region, that could force the West to react, the West has to be on the front foot, not reacting all the time.

The FOG OF WAR - The Gaza Hospital Attack - Israeli - Gaza War - Middle East - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.57pm post the following, " Israeli prime minister says 'barbaric terrorists' behind hospital blast....Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying "barbaric terrorists" are responsible for the blast at the hospital in Gaza...He rejects Hamas's claims that the Israel Defense Force carried out the strike.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the FOG OF WAR, Israel is blaming the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another terrorist group in Gaza and Hamas is blaming Israel for the attack.  The effect so far is that the Prime Minister of the Palestinians  in the West Bank has cancelled a meeting with the US President in Jordan. The White House will be flooded by the press wanting to know what they think and what does US intelligence think, that is going to take time.  There could be trouble in the Arab World tomorrow, while Biden is in Israel, it might be a good idea to have only a Israeli part of the tour.  Israel has to ACT on Gaza no matter what Biden wants, the security of Israel is at stake.  This meeting tomorrow  with the Israeli PM could define the rest of the Biden Presidency. 

Jenin Operation - The Threats to Israel - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Israel's Jenin operation reignites Palestinian anger...A thick crust of black ash has settled on the pavements and roads in the centre of Jenin.  "

Lets Get Real:

In 1917 the UK Foreign Secretary Lord Balfour, promised a State for ISRAEL, not for the Palestinian, after the horror of World Wart 2, ISRAEL gained a State after the British control of the area came to an end.  There can only be one State in the area, and that has to be the present Israel State, a two State solution does not work, the Arbs would out number the Jewish people.  The World has to accept that the Palestinian People have gotten the short straw, that is life, this is not Star Trek, it is real life.  One does wish the leaders of the Palestinian people had accepted the State offered to them in the 2000's under The Clinton Presidency.   That is LONG GONE, Israel is a Jewish State and must remain so Today. 

Biden and the MIDDLE EAST - Biden Era

The WHITE House:  A readout of a telephone conversation between President Biden and Israeli PM Netanyahu, " President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu today. The two leaders had a detailed discussion on the state of events in Gaza, Israel’s progress in degrading the capabilities of Hamas and other terrorist elements, and ongoing diplomatic efforts by regional governments and the United States. The President conveyed to the Prime Minister that he expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire."

Lets Get Real:

The Biden OVAL is getting pressure from the LIBERAL LEFT of the Democratic Party, the left is very much pro Palestinian at the expense of Israel.   The Oval understand if it loses the House or the Senate next year, the Biden Presidency is OVER, really over.  Thus this blog expects that Biden was very firm with the Israeli PM, but the PM has answered him back, you either destroy the enemy or you weaken them, thus they back off for some time.  Also the Republicans in the US Congress on the whole supports Israel, thus the left do not have the numbers to make much of an impression.  Of course they could run a LEFT candidate as a spoiler in 2024, US politics never ends, just goes in to another cycle.

The OVAL OFFICE and Israel - Latest on the Israel and Gaza

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 23.03pm post, " What to make of Joe Biden’s “support for a ceasefire” in a call with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu?My colleague Julian Borger describes the readout of the call as a “mildly worded statement, supporting but not demanding a ceasefire”. The statement also did not suggest that the ceasefire should begin immediately, Julian notes.  "

Lets Get Real:

Four words = Mid Terms in 2022

The Biden Oval will not want to lose CONTROL of either the House and the Senate, if that happens then the Biden Presidency is OVER and his chances of re-election go down the drain.  The American political cycle NEVER ENDS, when an election cycle ends, the interest in the next starts, thus POTUS will want to be seen as a friend of Israel, the Israeli Lobby is very powerful in US politics.  POTUS does not want to be seen as supporting the Palestinians over Israel.  Thus do not expect Biden to pull the plug on Israel, that is not going to happen, he is not that brave, Reagan once did use that as a THREAT, but he was a GREAT PRESIDENT, that is not Biden.

Israel and Gaza - Update - The NEVER ENDING WAR!

Sky News: Reports " Israel-Gaza conflict: Islamic Jihad leader killed and militant tunnels destroyed in airstrikes, Israeli military says...Gaza residents describe the barrage as the heaviest since the conflict escalated a week ago, with hundreds killed and injured.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Elite Press in the UK is starting to take sides, the tone has been critical of Israel, this comes from the BBC News and Sky News, the main 24 news channels.  The lack of deaths in Israel is due to the FACT that Israel has the IRON DOME, it can take out most of the rockets launched in Gaza by Hamas.  The Biden Administration is QUIET due to Florida, a lot of older Jews have moved to Florida for the climate and they vote, next year in the 2022 Mid Terms, so POTUS wants to give the impression that he is supporting Israel, as Sky News reported the US has blocked a statement from the UN on the issue.   What POTUS is saying in private is another matter, he is coming under pressure from the extreme LEFT in the Democratic Party who are critical of Israel and in many instances support the Palestinians over ISRAEL.   This cycle of violence has  FEW DAYS TO GO, Israel has to defend its people and limit HAMAS in Gaza and get the towns in Israel who are shared both Jews Israelis and Arab Israelis to go back to being quiet.  Also to keep the West Bank quiet.

President Biden talks to Israeli PM - Biden Era

The White House: Has a readout of the telephone call between President Biden and the Israeli PM,  Benjamin Netanyahu, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today by phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. The President affirmed his personal history of steadfast commitment to Israel’s security and conveyed his intent to strengthen all aspects of the U.S.-Israel partnership, including our strong defense cooperation. Together, the leaders discussed the importance of continued close consultation on regional security issues, including Iran. The President emphasized U.S. support for the recent normalization of relations between Israel and countries in the Arab and Muslim world. He underscored the importance of working to advance peace throughout the region, including between Israelis and Palestinians. Together, they affirmed their shared interest in continued strategic cooperation to confront the many challenges facing the region. "

Lets Get Real:

The Israeli side will know that the good times under Trump are over, that Biden whatever he says will try to return to the Obama Nuclear Deal.   Thus the one of the two ACE's that Israel has in the Mid Terms in 2022, the Biden will not want to be seen as a sell out before then.  One can suspect that the Biden Administration is already in secret talks with Tehran to return to the deal, but the Oval knows that if it lifts the Trump sanctions without some concession from Tehran it will be seen as sell out of the first order.   Thus expect Tehran to make a soft concession and for that to be taken by Biden as a way to to revoke the Trump sanctions, this might happen just before or just after the Mid terms.  The Biden Administration will want to see Israel good relationship with the other Arab Countries, this also gives Israel an ACE, Israel and its Arab NOW friends see Iran as a threat, thus the Israelis with the help and assistance of the Gulf States could attack Iran before its secret nuclear planning bears fruit.   The prospect of a nuclear Iran will be to much for Israel and its friends.   This development could lead to a problem for the Biden Oval, does it support ISRAEL or is it critical of Israel, Democrats will be worried that voters will see Biden as a modern Neville Chamberlain, if he sells out Israel.   Also there is the problem of AFGHANISTAN; will Biden who went out of his way to undermine Obama when he was Vice - President when it come to Afghanistan; keep US troops in Kabul or will he do a President Ford, who saw the US runout of South Vietnam;  watch as the last Americans leave Afghanistan by helicopter with the Taliban at the door.  The Biden Administration has not had a foreign policy crisis yet, it will come, they always do. 

Chief Rabbi and the anti-Semitism within the Labour Party - GE2 - General Election 2019

BBC News: Reports " The Chief Rabbi has strongly criticised Labour, claiming the party is not doing enough to root out anti-Jewish racism.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is not for this blog to question the true intentions of Jeremy Corbyn when it comes to anti - Jewish racism, even if one Labour MP has called him anti semite to his face.  The problem is that Corbyn's perceived anti Israel and support for the creating of a Palestinian State has bought him to contact with those that are anti Israel, if Corbyn wants to get the Jewish vote he has to move to the centre and been seen as a friend of Israel not an enemy.  One can speculate that those of the Jewish faith will not be voting Labour in this election, that would be FAULT of Corbyn and there is no hiding from that FACT. 

Labour's antisemitism problem - Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party

Sky News: Reports " 90 Labour MPs and peers condemn Williamson 'antisemitism' decision...Scores of senior Labour Party figures sign a letter calling on leader Jeremy Corbyn to intervene in the antisemitism case.  "

The above is why Jeremy Corbyn is unfit to be the next British PM, when you allow the perception that a political party is anti Jewish it allows those who are actually racists to come out of the shadows.   It has been noted that Labour MP and former Labour MPs have come under attack because they are of the Jewish faith, a political party has to be ruthless with these people and throw them out of the Party.   This blog does not know what is in the heart of Chris Williamson, only the MP is knows that, thus does not have a view on the issue of Mr Williamson and if he the whip should be removed from him.   The problem with the left is that they are anti Israel and its policy towards the Palestinian people, thus are highly critical of Israel.  The scourge of antisemitism has to be driven out of mainstream politics.   The Labour Party should learn what happened in Weimar Germany when Hitler was not stopped, political chaos builds rebellion, and the failure to get Brexit through could cause great political damage. 

Labour's anti-Semitism problem

Sky News: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn ally Peter Willsman re-elected to Labour's ruling body after anti-Semitism rant..The election of a slate of Corbyn supporters to the NEC is claimed to raise "further concerns about institutional anti-Semitism".  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has been very wary to discuss this subject, as the answer is complicated and in this day and age, all the readers of social media want is simple, bad and good.   It can be argued that Jeremy Corbyn is NOT an anti - semite, he is JUST anti Israel.   This blog supports Israel in nearly all its actions and opposes idea that you can have a Palestinian State, any such State would be a threat to Israel, Iran would use the State to attack Israel at close quarters.  It can be argued that Corbyn is a old left wing fool, he does not see the damage his stand is taking on Labour, the moderates in the Labour Party for the sake of LABOUR should split.
