Trumps stance on Jerusalem will contribute to peace, not hinder it



Peace is achieved not from negotiation during table talks but when there is a victor and a defeated party. All the spin in the media/NGO nexus in the worlds cosmopolitan capitals will not change this simple rule.

It is another matter than the media ,academics and "non profits" prefer discussions over war due to their own vested interests. Media and academia have the ability to convince nay spin words into (half) truths , well to an extant as their humiliation last year over Trumps election has shown.
It is in their interest to show that THEIR power and not that of guns, bullets , blood and steel has influence on world affairs and in turn they are rewarded with recognition, fame and its attendant riches in speaking fees and book contracts. While NGOs simply siphon off monies from government pretending to help the poor and dispossesed but in general using that money for a cushy life with high salaries, comfortable lodging and high end vehicles.

President Trump's bold move has strengthened Israel and removed any doubt in the Arab and Muslim worlds mind about their alliance. The Arabs and Muslims in general respect the "Strong horse" as Osama put it. Oslo "peace" broke the myth of invincibility and awe of Israel which led to increased violence.

Until 150 years, Jerusalem was a backwater of the Islamic world. The Dome of the Rock was in serious disrepair and neglect ala Babri Masjid. If it had been torn down to make way for a Pasha's fortress, I doubt anyone would have complained. Its religious significance is a by product of Palestinian nationalism rather than any reconsideration of Islamic custom.

Jerusalem is the capital of Jewish spiritual life for the past 3000 years and while Muslim and Christian holy sites exist and have to be respected, the state of Israel should have political control over that city since it is a Jewish state.


With Jerusalem recongized as its capital, in due time, Arabs will resign themselves to the fact that Israel is here to stay and deal with Palestinians accordingly if they make anymore trouble(ala Black September) and Muslims will simply follow the Arab's lead.

The new Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is fast tracking his country into a modern society by reigning in the Islamists and liberalizing society and god bless him for that. Who knows Saudi Arabia may well become Israels biggest ally in the future. Stranger things have happened..

Nationalism vs Religion Dichotomy: A response to Sagar M

Sagar M countered my arguments with perceptive insights. However I believe he is mistaken. Rather than respond in comments , I am making a seperate post YSV: Earlier I esquired as to the supremacy clause of Hindutvadis- is the nation state of India or Hinduism that defines them and which they will choose when push comes to shove?--------------------- Sagar: For Hindutva project, blood, soul and earth are inextricably linked mutually. Our objective is to unite all Hindu peoples into one great Hindu state. YSV: Yes but at what cost? And what instruments are being used to create this Hindu state. RSS wants us to subordinate Shiva to a 19th century construct Bharatmata inspired by European nationalism. As a Shaivite, to me this is the most obscene blasphemy! Sagar: Since Hindu religion fosters pan Indian nationalism (read Hindutvavaad) and pan Indian nationalism in turns gives protection to Hindu religion by uniting Hindus, what sense does it makes to ask - “Hindutva or

  Im sure you have come across fire breathing anti Western Hindutva who goes on and on about "imperialism" as if it is still 1924 but loses no opportunity to provide the following quotes   Mark Twain: "So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked." Will Durant, American Historian: "India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of mature mind, understanding spirit and a unifying, pacifying love for all human beings."
