The Incredible Mis-Reportage of
President Trump’s Two-State Solution Comment
Last evening your humble servant watched President Trump make this statement in answer to a reporter’s question:
“I like a two-state solution. That’s what I think works best … That’s my feeling.”
When I heard this, I smiled.
Why would I smile you ask?
Simply because I have heard President Trump say it over and over again for the last two years.
He always answers the question in the same way that goes something like this:
“I like a two-state solution. That’s what I think works best … That’s my feeling. But that’s up to the Israelis and Palestinians to decide. If they want a two state solution, fine. If they want a one state solution, fine.”
The only difference this time is that Trump did not add the “But” part. However, that was clearly what he meant.
Except that the hysterical pro-Palestinian leftist media completely melted down here in Israel, in the United States, and in the world.
And that, my friend, is what all the fuss is about. generic no prescription viagra So, in order to make prostate back to normal, some people may recuperate their body by Chinese herbs, like viagra cheap prescription patent medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill.

The ultra-left Haaretz newspaper here in Israel titled a story about Trump’s statement:
“Trump’s endorsement of two-state solution changes reality.” (By the way, Haaretz is still running a variation of this headline today).
Reuters ran with “Trump ways he wants two-state solution for Middle East”–an article that was picked up and reissued by numerous “news” organizations around the world.
NBC in the U.S. trumpeted (pardon the pun): “Trump explicitly backs two-state solution to Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”
In the UK, the Sun newspaper blared “Donald Trump officially backs the two-state solution for the first time.”
And on and on in a pathetic display of “journalism” written by fake “journalists” who couldn’t tell you what happened yesterday in the world.
In any case, I calmly told my friends what Trump really meant–but even they couldn’t really believe it.
Until . . .
At another frenzied news conference today, President Trump calmly declared:
“I think probably two-state is more likely, but you know what? I think if they do a single, if they do a double, I’m okay with it, if they’re both happy.”
Well there you have it from the horse’s mouth.
It’s the old same thing he has always said.
But it still won’t be what you read in the newspapers or see on television in the coming days.
