The US has a “biblical” duty to support Israel’s annexation of the occupied West Bank, former US President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel argues in a new book, unveiling a plan for “one Jewish state" that he said he would share with Trump.
“President Trump has often said that he was indifferent to one state or two states - whatever the parties might agree to,” former US ambassador David Friedman writes in the book, One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
“His goals always were practical and targeted toward tangible improvements in the quality of life. I believe that if Israel will support this plan, he will as well,” according to a copy of the book obtained by The Forward.
Friedman argues the US should support Israel’s annexation “based first and foremost on biblical prophecies and values”, saying that such a policy “hearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperity”.
Friedman told The Forward he will share his annexation plan with Trump “at the appropriate time”.
If you think letting trump win will convince Democrats to move left or will reduce the amount of suffering in the world, I’m not sure what to tell you.
Humans are machines for making the world worse, I don’t expect anything different.
So you go online and sow chaos and discord among those of us who actually grew out of our edgy teen years?
So deep…
