\r\nThe New York Times reported on Wednesday, Dec\r\n6, 2017: \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n'WASHINGTON — President Trump on Wednesday formally\r\nrecognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, reversing nearly seven\r\ndecades of American foreign policy and setting in motion a plan to\r\nmove the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to the fiercely\r\ncontested Holy City. “Today we finally acknowledge the obvious:\r\nthat Jerusalem is Israel’s capital,” Mr. Trump said from\r\nthe Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House. “This is\r\nnothing more or less than a recognition of reality.<\/b> It is also\r\nthe right thing to do. It’s something that has to be done.”\r\n... Recognizing Jerusalem, he added, was “a long overdue step\r\nto advance the peace process.” ... The announcement,\r\nofficials said, was recognition of current and historic reality.<\/b>\r\nWest Jerusalem is the seat of Israel’s government, and\r\nrecognizing it as such would remove ambiguity from the American\r\nposition, they said.'<\/i> \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nDuring the Bush administration in 2004, the New York Times on Oct\r\n17, 2004, had reported on the nature of this “reality”\r\nconstructed by history's actors from a bizarre conversation with a\r\nsenior White House official: \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n'In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire\r\nthat the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications\r\ndirector, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to\r\nBush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me\r\nsomething that at the time I didn't fully comprehend -- but which I\r\nnow believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency. The aide\r\nsaid that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based\r\ncommunity,” which he defined as people who “believe that\r\nsolutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.”\r\nI nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and\r\nempiricism. He cut me off. “That's not the way the world really\r\nworks anymore,” he continued. “We're an empire now,\r\nand when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying\r\nthat reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating\r\nother new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things\r\nwill sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will\r\nbe left to just study what we do.”'<\/b><\/i> \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nWell, fast forward to today, Wednesday, Dec\r\n13, 2017, exactly one week after President Trump created the\r\nnew reality vis a vis Jerusalem as the eternal<\/i> capital of the\r\nJewish state in occupied Palestine, the New York Times reported that\r\nthe Muslim Leaders Declare East Jerusalem the Palestinian Capital,<\/i>\r\nrightly refusing to accept the new reality created by the history's\r\nactors, but regurgitating the same old two-state narrative as\r\nscripted by the Israelis themselves for the ingestion of the\r\nbeleaguered Palestinians while they piece-meal gobble up all of\r\nPalestine (and then some): \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n'ISTANBUL — Leaders and officials of Muslim nations declared\r\nEast Jerusalem the Palestinian capital on Wednesday at a summit\r\nmeeting in Istanbul, producing the strongest response yet to\r\nPresident Trump’s decision to recognize the city as Israel’s\r\ncapital. The gathering of the 57-member Organization of Islamic\r\nCooperation was held to formulate a unified response from the Muslim\r\nworld to Mr. Trump’s decision last week. ... The meeting\r\ncondemned in a communiqué Mr. Trump’s “unilateral”\r\nand “dangerous declaration” as an effort to change the\r\nstatus of Jerusalem. It said that it considered the action a\r\nviolation of United Nations resolutions and legally null and void,\r\nand that it would hold the United States liable for all consequences\r\nof not retracting its decision.<\/b> ... Mr. Abbas on Wednesday told\r\nthe gathering that Mr. Trump had committed the “greatest crime”\r\nwith his declaration, and that the Palestinians would no longer\r\naccept any role of the United States in peace negotiations with\r\nIsrael. “Jerusalem is and always will be the capital of\r\nPalestine,”<\/b> he said, adding that the United States was\r\ngiving it away as if it were an American city. “It crosses all\r\nthe red lines,” Mr. Abbas said. Mr. Erdogan urged nations of\r\nthe world to recognize the state of Palestine, and declared Jerusalem\r\nas its occupied capital.<\/b> He warned there would be no peace in the\r\nregion unless the city’s status was recognized as such. ...\r\nCalling Israel a terrorist state, he warned that “Israel\r\nwill never have any legitimacy in Jerusalem.”'<\/b><\/i> \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nWhat is revealing about Trump's action as the henchman of the\r\nhistory's actors du jour<\/i> is the rationale statement: “This\r\nis nothing more or less than a recognition of reality”<\/i><\/b>\r\n– a reality previously created piece-meal by other history's\r\nactors with incremental faits accomplis<\/i> which have always\r\nappeared too impractical if not impossible to reverse. \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nWhat is also revealing about the reactionary declaration emanating\r\nfrom the distinguished Leaders and officials of Muslim nations, is\r\nthat they appear to be expert parrots, rehearsing from the same old\r\nscript given them as a red herring by the Jewish narrative, and which\r\nhas unfortunately come to define the loudest pitch of the Palestinian\r\nstruggle to date. \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nOther voices able to perceptively penetrate the red herrings thrown\r\nto the Palestinian and Muslim leaders continue to remain unheard. And\r\nso is the solution. The first essay\r\nbelow, published in February 2007, systematically dissects\r\nthe red herring of reality vs impracticality,<\/b> and presents\r\nwhat is perhaps the obvious and commonsense solution for a piece of\r\ngeography that is most sacred to the followers of all three Abrahamic\r\nfaiths. A geography for which the existent native inhabitants of that\r\nsacred land have been wronged, oppressed, brutalized, killed,\r\nevicted, and their land systematically colonized and occupied ever\r\nsince the Balfour\r\nDeclaration was issued by the previous generation of\r\nhistory's actors. The current generation of history's actors whose\r\nvisible henchman in the White House is President Trump, is working\r\nfor the same oligarchic interests that created the conditions and\r\nrealities of “revolutionary times”<\/i> to motivate\r\nGreat Britain to grant Muslim Palestine to the Jews as if they were\r\ngiving away a piece of their own land. The perceptive statement made\r\nby Mr. Abbas “that the United States was giving it away as\r\nif it were an American city”,<\/i> is capturing the reality of\r\nthe same Oligarchic script that Great Britain, as the dominating\r\nempire of its time, previously rehearsed from. American leaders are\r\nmerely continuing the same acts as the latter day henchmen of\r\nhistory's actors. Mr. Trump is evidently the boldest of them all in\r\nform, but there is little difference in substance.<\/p>\r\n
\r\nThe oligarchy controlling the Jewish state in Palestine for its own\r\ninterests, is singularly defeated in its more than hundred years long\r\nshenanigans if the world leaders sympathetic to the Palestinians,\r\ninstead of parroting the Jewish narrative, demand the commonsense\r\nsolution that eludes the West in its unrelenting support of the\r\nmisconstruction of Israel as an apartheid state. \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nIt is the obvious one nation-state solution for all its\r\ninhabitants.<\/b> In that tight piece of geography, two nations simply\r\ncannot be constructed justly; the one with the bigger guns will\r\nalways dictate the terms. And it is truly no ordinary piece of\r\ngeography. It is so steeped in the history and intermingling cultures\r\nof all three Abrahamic religions that try as the transplanted\r\nEuropean Zionists may, to obliterate the vestiges of the other two,\r\nits history and its emotional affiliations cannot be divorced from\r\nthat geography. Abolishing apartheid and eliminating the racist\r\nZionist philosophy, and replacing it with a society with secular,\r\ncivil and moral laws that are based on the common moral teachings of\r\nall three religions and which treat all three peoples as equals,\r\npermitting each to practice their own faith, to hold sacred their own\r\nheritage without encroaching upon the rights of each other, is the\r\nonly just solution today. That is the actual ground reality when\r\nprimacy is replaced with fairness. It is also the solution that the\r\nordinary Palestinian peoples themselves demand. It is high time the\r\nPalestinian and Muslim leaders listened, and dared to lead as\r\nhistory's actors in their own right. Other nations' leaders will\r\nfollow suit once the singular demand is tabled by the Palestinian and\r\nMuslim leaders, with no back-off whatever the pressure and\r\nconsequence. In time, all wounds will heal naturally, as all three\r\npeoples have far more in common than they have the courage to\r\nrecognize and accept. \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nThe status of Jerusalem is then naturally and organically resolved\r\nas the common sacred heritage of all three faiths.<\/b> Surely some\r\nformula for administering the holy city in fairness to the peoples of\r\nall three faiths can then be devised by the citizens themselves and\r\nratified as the fair law of the sacred land that is named in the Holy\r\nScriptures of all three faiths as “The City of Peace”. \r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\nAll this may sound Pollyannaish today just as once abolishing\r\nApartheid in South Africa may have sounded to the oppressed natives\r\nof that land, or abolishing slavery in the United States may have\r\nsounded to the oppressed Negroes of this land. Abolishing Zionism\r\nfrom Palestine is no different, despite all Zionist attempts to mimic\r\nthe genocidal Settlement of the Americas by the colonizing Europeans\r\nin centuries past. The second\r\nessay below, published in May 2010, looks into the oligarchic\r\npower behind the Zionist state. It outlines the struggle forward for\r\npragmatically overturning the Machiavellian force of “impracticality”\r\nprotecting the Zionist state that is making a mockery of the very\r\nname of Jerusalem. The third\r\nessay below, published on May 15, 2010 on the 62nd\r\nanniversary of the Nakba, examines the psychological cataracts which\r\nbecome impediments and which must first be overcome in order to forge\r\nthat real struggle forward that can effectively overturn the reality\r\nof “impracticality” on the ground. \r\n<\/p>\r\n
