Trump: 'The Israelis are Going to Have to Show Some Flexibility' on Peace Process
h/t Instapundit
President Trump asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop settlement construction for "a little bit" and declared he's fine with a two-state solution or one-state solution during the leaders' first meeting at the White House today.
So, it's the same old song again

#1 This meeting was a bit different. BB was in rare form and very upbeat. I have never seen him this happy. This is a new opportunity for US Israel relations. BB can see it as well.

I dunno. That's the cherry-picked headline, but I read that as Trump just squirting a little lube into the 'negotiations'.

From the article:
The Palestinians, the president said, "have to get rid of some of that hate that they are taught from a very young age."

"They're taught tremendous hate. I've seen what they're taught. And you can talk about flexibility there too, but it starts at a very young age and it starts in the schoolroom. And they have to acknowledge, as you know, they're going to have to do that," Trump said.


Maybe I'm just giddy, but has an American president *ever* acknowledged this? Also, Netanyahu mentions "Arab partners". The Arab world has some bigger fish to fry at the moment. Sure, it's fun using the Paleos as tools to torment the Juice, but the Iranians are the real concern.
