Re: The Donald Trump thread

What does peace mean to you?

If it is just an end to the killing - the first step followed by massive injection of aid and the release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages - Trump could have done that in the first weeks of his administration, as Biden could have done before him.

Peace surely means a political settlement that offers the best chance of security and justice to all the people of Israel and Palestine.

The Trump Plan doesn’t do that. If you can call it a plan.

But he is desperate to get that prize!

Obviously you different stages to peace. A ceasefire, initial peace (ending the war) and long term peace.

The first one there is critical and saves a few lives but doesn't count. Ending the war counts, but it doesn't count much if it starts again six months later.

So a long term viable peace is what counts. That is of course harder to achieve and harder to achieve the success of. We had peace in Europe after worlf war 2. Was it viable and long term for example. I'd argue not, but it took 20+ years for that to manifest itself.

Hopefully after a period of quiet reflection James will take the news with a little more stoicism than you predict. Not sure about some of the other fawns on here though!

It does say the nominations had to be in by January mind, so, realistically, he was never going to win it this year.
