The Wall of the Old City Jerusalem lights up for the Abraham Accords

This is really a big deal. Even if the WaPo commenters think it’s just a PR stunt. Huh? Working on this for three years, to get an agreement the first of its kind in a quarter century. A PR stunt? Only if you’re deeply TDS...  

The Arab states have simply got fed up with the rejectionism of the Palestinian leadership. Remember when Abbas said “no, no, no” to the economic development proposal brought to them by Kushner a few years ago. “From the River to the Sea”, pretty much says it all: the only thing that will satisfy them is Israel wiped off the map. But Israel grows ever stronger and the Arabs have decided to get on the winning side.

There were a lot of predicates for this deal, including pulling out of the Iran deal, moving the embassy to Jerusalem and recognising Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights (When you go there, as we have, you realise immediately how it can’t be given back to an enemy, least of all one as barbaric as Syria). 

There’s plenty on the MSM about the deal, which I’m guessing readers will have seen. So here I just link to something non-MSM, a thoughtful essay in the Nation Review by Rich Lowry. I urge you to read it.

Note: this is such a big deal that even CNN had to say something nice about it. Though of course they did find something to carp about: in their chyron: “No social distancing on the South Lawn”.... Yawn.

John Kerry had it covered. Hehe! Click on pic to go to vid
This matured about as well as milk in a sauna....
