    Trump is moving America's Israeli embassy to Jerusalem. This undermines his administration's larger Middle East strategies against Iran and ISIS, and effectively ends the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. But there's a small silver lining.

        The point about a productive coalition with Sunni Arabs sticks out: Why provoke Muslims at a time where they are working so positively with Israel? Part of me thinks this is no deeper than “nothing worked before so I’m gonna do the opposite.”

        That's a plausible theory. But I lean more towards thinking it's a different conception of goals. I can't figure out how this might help the peace process. But it clearly helps the advocates of Greater Israel.

        My sticking point as well: Keep hearing the “first part of a peace process” argument but can’t see how it gets to that. At least not with agreement between both sides, which would be required for true peace.

        In response to that, I've asked "how?" Haven't gotten a plausible answer. It's not hard to do when something actually advances the peace process. For example, Hamas denouncing violence and giving up its rockets would advance the peace process. How? By improving Israeli security.

        It is a very unfortunate decision, not good for the Palestinians, Israelis or the US. Furthermore, with ISIS on the verge of defeat, and Al- Qaeda imploding with inner fighting, they could not have dreamt of a better gift.

        Exactly. Israel-Palestine has been a valuable recruiting tool for jihadis. Bin Laden repeatedly mentioned Israel, and US support for Israel, in his "Declaration of War against the Zionists and Crusaders." As you say, it's a terrible time to help them. Especially for this reason.

        Good piece, one part of the dynamic change is that R's and D's have had the same policy for many years, trying to stand in the middle. Reasonably this could create a shift where D's take a more proactive route to the peace process.

        I think that's possible. Israel used to be a non-partisan issue, but the partisan divide has been growing. But I also fear the situation's too far gone.

        Making Israel a partisan topic again might actually be a good thing. The lack of partisan tension on the issue, perhaps, inhibited innovation/progress. This of course assumes a healthier political environment than we have now, but rays of hope.
