The Arab world has moved on from the Palestinian land grab in Israel and Democrats should too

 Washington Examiner Editorial:

Before President Trump, the conventional wisdom was that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was and would forever be at the center of Arab nations' foreign policy in the region. Fortunately, this illusion has not survived his presidency. How quickly the Arab world has moved on. Now, the rest of the world should follow suit.

For decades, the United States and the international community have myopically obsessed over the need for a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians. While the resolution to that conflict would be a positive thing in and of itself, narrow focus on this to the exclusion of all else effectively prevented anyone from making attainable progress in the region.

Foreign policy officials in the Obama administration, many of whom are being brought back by President-elect Joe Biden, subscribed to the idea of "linkage," which connected broader problems in the Middle East and tensions between the U.S. and the Arab-Muslim world to that conflict.

As former President Barack Obama himself once put it regarding the conflict, "[W]hat I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy."

This attitude helps explain the hostility the previous administration held toward Israel and clarifies why it portrayed Jews building homes as a larger threat to the world than Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

Thanks to a different attitude in the White House, which took advantage of other factors, the past several months have seen a historic normalization in relations between Israel and several Arab countries. So far, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco have normalized relations with Israel, with more possibly on the horizon. Even though Israel has not established formal ties to Saudi Arabia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to the country for a historic meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman last month — the first such publicly acknowledged meeting between leaders of the two nations.

According to John Kerry, this was not supposed to happen. The incoming climate czar insisted in 2016 as outgoing secretary of state, "There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world. I want to make that very clear to all of you. I’ve heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying, well, the Arab world’s in a different place now, and we just have to reach out to them and we can work some things with the Arab world, and we’ll deal with the Palestinians. No. No, no, and no.”

Except that it turns out, "Yes." All the years of warnings by liberals that if Israel were unable to resolve tensions with Palestinians, that it would become isolated in the region, have been proven dead wrong. Instead, a strong Israel has become more integrated into the region while Palestinians have been left out in the cold to suffer from their own leaders' intransigence.
...

John Kerry has been wrong about most things from the time he burst on to the scene with false allegations against the American troops in Vietnam.  That Biden has brought Kerry on to deal with "climate change" shows his poor judgment.  

Trump was able to get deals that Kerry would have never gotten in a million years.  Democrats sided with the terrorist in "Palestinian leadership" in much the same way they screwed up and sided with the terrorist in Iran.  If Biden goes back to the failed policies of the past it will likely lead to bloodshed and war.
