You cannot “broker peace” with people who do not want peace. We should not even try while the other side is committing or threatening terrorism as a policy.
There will never be peace in the middle east. Get used to it. Say good riddance to useless “mediators” such as this too late for the grave James Baker. He remains a useful idiot. Stop the appeasement of the devil dressed in a head scarf reading a phony “holy” book. Islam is the problem, stop the lies.
The end game is for Israel to annex all their ‘occupied’ territory and evict the Arabs from the refugee camps to Jordan Egypt and Syria.
They should PAY the Arab countries whatever they want to take them off their hands.
That or kill them all.
Wars only end when one side decisively winds and makes the other side not want to fight anymore or ever again.
Not surprising. Since Baker hates liberal, atheist "Jews" as it is...He must REALLY hate a religious Jew like Friedman who won't just walk into a gas chamber if Baker tells him it's for "peace."
lol.
What would “peace” even entail. The PLO doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to exist!!!
Is everyone mad?!?!
Israel needs to kick butt, redraw the lines to provide a HUGE buffers of miles and miles, and say #### you to any country that has a problem with it.
Which Arab army is in a position to stop them?
Enough with the bull####.
Baker was an inept wuss as SoS and like Albright, Clinton and Kerry, a failure at providing anything beneficial for the US.
Obama and Kerry have the US being the Pali's "lawyer".
Baker thinks our trade agreements are good. Yeah, millions of our jobs have disappeared.
You had your chance James and you failed. Why does the media keep going to the losers for advice. If they knew how to make peace they would have done it when they were up at bat.
I have an educated dear Liberal friend who I used to date, that was STUNNED when I told her that Israel is about the size of New Jersey (where she’s from).
The Jews don’t bother anybody. They have a little piece of real estate that they’ve had since before Islam existed. Stop f’ing with them, and there will be peace.
The ME will be more secure and more peaceful if Israel is backed to the hilt ant the palies are told to pound sand, or better yet forced into Jordan and Egypt and the Mediterranean. An American naval base in Israel would be good.
” “cannot be Israel’s lawyer” if it expects to successfully broker peace in the Arab/Israeli conflict. “
Animosity for 2000 years, so waste of time to attempt “peace”. President Trump should just take sides with Israel, but make sure the oil-producing Arab states continue to pump and sell oil. End of story.
- James Baker
Fortunately for US Trump is NOT a ‘lawyer’. Look at the boiling cauldron our present Harvard Law School graduate has unleashed in the Middle East. By the time our present ‘lawyer’ leaves office, nobody in the Middle East will trust US.
Baker sounds like Jimmy Carter.
During the time Baker was around I remember a cartoon in the local newspaper and it had a picture of Assad of Syria (papa Assad) and it said “Yes, we want to make piece with Israel... Many pieces” Nothing has changed.
Appoint Ann Coulter as ambassador to Israel. And tell her to bring Hell and a Bible with her.
Isreal does not need s lawyer: just friends who can descry right and wrong, and apply force of ideas and might in the service of right.
