Trump and Netanyahu's 2-state vision: Gaza war's end, Abraham Accords expansion

Its almost time for me to watch that whole series again. My favorite books and the movies are pretty good also.
I love both Lord of the Rings and the Narnia series especially when I'm going thru stuff. Both written by Christians. Both draw from a Biblical world view and both quite comforting in their own way. Even the movie version did well, they didn't ruin the story, and brought it to life beautifully. The music, the scenes everything. Really well done.
 
Yes, I especially love the scene with the elves marching so straight and courageous to help defend Helms Deep.
Frodo towards the end, carrying the Ring, acting in mercy towards Gollum, then Gollum attacking him, and ending up helping him complete the task which was to throw the Ring into the volcano where it was forged so that it couldn't enslave earth.

The way that Tolkien describes the final battle is particularly poignant. He was living thru that final end of the British Empire, for all it's faults, a way of life described as the Shire that WW2 ended. A battle between good and evil that can't bring back what was, but has to be seen thru to the end because The Shire and all that was good about that time was coming to an end anyway. Whether by enslavement of the Ring, or by the change wrought by the war to end the evil.

CS Lewis does the same thing in The Final Battle, the end of the Narnia series.

Both books have always comforted me that while we see this present world passing away, what's coming that replaces it is far better. We can't stop time in it's progress, we can't go back to the past, even the glories of a wonderful past. We are forced by time into the future. Our choice is to follow God or to turn away from Him, inevitably to evil.
 
I hope that is right.

During Trump's first term I suspected that that's what they were doing. I don't think Trump ever wanted to really divide the land. Don't know about his son in law. It does make sense because without the two state solution that the "palis" have never agreed to the Abraham accords wouldn't get anywhere. So long as it appears in the plan Israel's neighbors, or some of them anyway, are willing to support the accords.
 

PMO denies Israel-US talks on two-state solution took place​


The Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem on Friday flatly denied claims published in Israel Hayom that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a high-level conversation with President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer about establishing a Palestinian state.

The PMO stated: “The conversation described in the article in [Israel Hayom on Thursday] did not take place. Israel was not presented with the political proposal supposedly described in the article, and it obviously did not agree to it.”

This included an expanded Abraham Accords framework, Gaza war termination within two weeks, Arab-led governance in Gaza, and a conditional Israeli endorsement of a future two-state solution.

According to the article, the plan also involved exile for Hamas leadership, global resettlement options for Gaza residents, and eventual U.S. recognition of limited Israeli sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria.

The Prime Minister’s Office categorically rejected these claims, emphasizing that no such political plan was presented to or agreed upon by Israel.

Hayom has been guilty of pushing an agenda in the past, and they are no friend of Netanyahu.

I'm glad Caroline Glick's old outfit, JNS came out with a rebuttal.
 
Oh now I understand. I knew what Spartan was originally referencing though, and got a chuckle out of it. Tried not to derail the thread by only answering YES! and failed miserably. Now there are 2 trains of thought, the OP and JRR Tolkien going full steam ahead. Apologies! :lol:
He uses so much Aussie slang, I think he makes it up. :LOL: But not really haha
