The Palestinians have lost virtually all leverage in the Middle East

While Trump didn’t create the environment, he and his national security team are owed credit for seeing how the environment created by Obama’s fellating of various Iranian mullahs could be used as a way to lance the perpetual boil of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic anger that has prevented any rapprochement between Israel and most of the Arab world. Iran has made major inroads into turning Hamas into a cub scout variety of Lebanese Hezbollah. The Palestinian Authority pretends it is in charge but it doesn’t have the strength, the ferocity or the weaponry to face down Hamas when nut-cutting time arrives. Saudi Arabia and much of the rest of the Arab world are seeing the Iranian threat as being much more of a real and present danger than Israel.

The administration saying that the unrest in the Middle East is not a byproduct of Israel’s existence should be a hint to the Palestinians, along with the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and approval of Israel increasing the population density in its current settlements, that their moment is slipping by and their intransigence is not going to win them more but might very well see them get a damned sight less. As somebody who might have been famous once said, “The one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

Notice there is no mealy-mouthed “perversion of Islam” language. It is very simple and straight forward. It says what a lot of us have been saying for more than a decade. ISIS and al-Qaeda don’t represent some rogue, heretical form of Islam, they represent Islam as it is taught in madrassas across the world and only curbed by the oppressive reign of Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Assad, Mubarak, and others. They represent it in the pure form that emerged from the Arabian Peninsula 1200 years ago.

The Trump national security policy is much more realistic than that of previous administrations who wanted to pretend that "Islam is the religion of peace."    They also wanted to pretend that the Palestinians were actually interested in peace when they clearly are not.  The Palestinians have wasted their moment by bitterly clinging to intransigence.  If they were smart, which they are not, they would grab whatever deal Trump and the Israelis offer.  Otherwise, their destiny is to get even less.
