ArabDigest.org Deal of the century: new information?
Deal of the century: new information?
Summary: a new book outlines a deal involving Arab states but not Palestine; likely to inflame opinion whether or not it is true.A new book “Kushner, Inc. Greed. Ambition. Corruption” by Vanity Fair journalist Vicky Ward released on 19 March claims to have new information about the “deal of the century”, Kushner’s Middle East peace plan. According to various reports (Ha’aretz, Intelligencer) Kushner wanted … “the Saudis and Emiratis to provide economic assistance to the Palestinians… multiple people who saw drafts of the plan, noting that Saudi Arabia — presumably thanks to Kushner’s new bestie, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — would build an oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to Gaza, where refineries and a shipping terminal could be built. The profits would create desalination plants, where Palestinians could find work, addressing the high unemployment rate… The plan also entailed land swaps, so that Jordan would give land to the Palestinian territories. In return, Jordan would get land from Saudi Arabia, and that country would get back two Red Sea islands it gave Egypt to administer in 1950.
According to a National Public Radio review of the book Ward claims she interviewed 220 people for the book but is vague on who they are – close associates, family friends, a “person” – sometimes no source at all. It is not clear from the reports we have seen whether she alleges that the above ideas are still the plan, or whether they have been superseded and if so by what. Jason Greenblatt, White House Middle East envoy who has been working with Kushner on the deal, tweeted “No one who has seen the plan would spread misinformation like that. Whoever made these claims has bad info. Next time feel free to reach out to us before you run with a story. A lot of people are sharing false info with the press now for bad reasons.”
In our posting of 1 March we quoted at length from Kushner’s 25 February interview published by Sky News Arabia which did not give hard information about the plan but gave some general principles and emphasised the importance of “establishing borders and resolving final status issues”. The interview neither confirms nor refutes the ideas which have now appeared in Ward’s book, but is not inconsistent with them. Pending new information it seems probable that Ward’s ideas of the deal (which are much in line with others who have speculated about Kushner’s intentions) are at least partly correct. Certain things about the deal seem clear: close consultation at every stage with the Israeli government, involvement of Arab states but not Palestine, concentration on an economic rather than a political approach, disregard of sensitive issues such as the occupation, the settlements, the right of return, and disregard of established US positions and international law. Ironically David Makovsky writing on the pro-Israeli Washington Institute website suggests that the deal may come unstuck as a result of the Israeli election, with even the possibility that Netanyahu will be defeated.
An example of the disregard of established positions is President Trump’s announcement yesterday 21 March that “After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognise Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!” (which he said he did not intend as an explicit election boost for Benjamin Netanyahu). The announcement does not change the legal position that this is Syrian territory, and does not obviously improve Israel security; it makes sense as a gift to Netanyahu just before the election, and thanking Trump for the declaration Netanyahu said “At a time when Iran seeks to use Syria as a platform to destroy Israel, President Trump boldly recognizes Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.” Turkey and the EU have already made clear that their position on Golan has not changed.
These developments are likely to inflame Arab opinion against the US and the deal of the century. If governments go along with the deal they will be exposed to criticism on nationalist lines and their position will be correspondingly weakened. Even if the stories in Ward’s book are entirely false, they will be believed. The alleged involvement of Egypt and Jordan is particularly delicate. Public opinion in Egypt has shown itself acutely sensitive on the question of the two islands in the Straits at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba, Tiran and Sanafir (our posting of 12 September 2018), and in Jordan the idea of ceding territory to become a home for a new Palestine is likely to be anathema both to Palestinian and trans-Jordanian opinion. In Syria, on the other hand, President Asad’s government can expect that all Syrians will agree in rejecting Israeli annexation of Golan, and may indeed see Iran as their essential defence. So far we have seen no Arab reaction to Ward, but note that the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister said at a press conference on 20 March during Mike Pompeo’s visit “We hope the plan will take into account the situation in the region and all the relevant parties.”
The Ha’aretz report quoted above concludes with the comment “If Kushner succeeds in selling that one to the Palestinians, he may want to try selling them London Bridge while he’s at it.”

Socialism: Be Careful What You Wish For
Socialism: Be Careful What You Wish For
by Philip Carl Salzman • March 22, 2019 at 5:00 am
- The object of socialism is supposedly to increase economic equality by evening out the wealth in society among individuals and families. This is done by taking wealth from those with more than the average and redistributing it to those with less than the average. As wealth will not usually be voluntarily surrendered, the redistribution would have to be enforced by government agencies, backed by laws and administrative regulations. Socialism in practice, however, has usually resulted in members of the governments redistributing the wealth they seize to themselves and their associates. Even in the US government, at present, members of Congress do not bind themselves to observe the laws to which they bind the rest of the country. As Lee Atwater reportedly put it, "The dawgs don't like the dawg food."
- Equality of results severs the relationship between being able to enjoy the rewards of one's production and the confiscation of those rewards for distribution to others. The disconnect between work and reward undermines the motivation to work and to innovate. Why work or take risks when the profits, if one is successful, go to others? If you take away an incentive to work and produce, you end up taking away the producers.
- Socialism means turning over your freedom to your government, which claims that it knows how to spend your money better than you do. History has unfortunately proven this to be an economic and delivery-of-services death spiral, whether of sub-standard quality of public education in the US, or the delivery of health care to veterans. Now, President Donald J. Trump is finally trying to address the crisis that veterans' healthcare has become. How? By privatizing it.
- If justice is giving each person his or her due, then taking wealth from those who have earned it, in order to give it to those who have not earned it, is a practice dubious at best. It is human to envy those with more and better. However, it is doubtful that it is good social policy to base political policy on these sentiments: one historically ends up with worse and less.

For
so long, it appeared that socialism had definitively failed in practice
and had lost its appeal as an economic ideology. The Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (USSR) had crashed; its Eastern European satellites
had escaped in the 1990s; China had transitioned from socialism to state
capitalism beginning with the economic reforms of 1978 and has carried
on energetically ever since; communist Cuba had declined to an offshore
holiday resort for Canadians and Europeans, and socialist Venezuela
totally collapsed. In a 1989 essay entitled "The End of History?",
Francis Fukuyama argued that, in the events mentioned above, we were
witnessing "an unabashed victory of economic and political liberalism."

Nationwide Campaign to stop Infanticide
These next 90 days are without question your best chance to
drive a stake in the heart of America’s abortion beast!
March 21, 2019drive a stake in the heart of America’s abortion beast!
Michele,
(Thank you for your support of Priests for Life. If you already responded to the following appeal online, I appreciate your support. This email is intended for those who did not respond when we sent it previously.)
Millions of Americans watched in utter shock and horror as pro-abortion fanatics celebrated the passage of New York’s evil “abortion until birth” law.
As America witnessed those demonic celebrations, the scales fell from the eyes of the nation and people from all walks of life and every political persuasion saw how forty-six years of legalized abortion-on-demand was destroying the soul of America.
More importantly, they became angry and are ready to protect unborn children.
|
If ever there was a moment to rally men and women of good will into the fight against abortion ... THIS IS IT!!! Never was Priests for Life’s work more important than it will be over the next three months. Without question this is your best chance to help win victory over abortion. And because it is I urge you to give Priests for Life’s “90-Day Campaign for Life” your wholehearted support. |
 |
What I need from you specifically are three actions:
- PRAYERS. This is very important. Our struggle to end the injustice of abortion is spiritual warfare. So I’m relying on you to use this time of Lent to “pray without ceasing” for an end to legalized abortion in America.
- INVOLVEMENT. While we work for an end to abortion nationwide, it’s important that you do what you can to make your local community abortion-free.
- FINANCIAL SUPPORT. Today I’m asking you to be more generous than you think you can be with your donation. I’m asking you to consider doing this because Priests for Life has to raise $1.2 million to fund this all-out effort to turn America’s pent-up outrage over the killing of full-term babies into concrete action that will bring an end to abortion. This work includes:
- Expanding our broadcasting on SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube. As more and more
Americans turn to these forums for their news and information, it’s
critical Priests for Life be there telling them the truth about abortion
and how it’s destroying the nation.
Right now Priests for Life reaches some 600,000 people EVERY DAY across all social media platforms.Over the next 90 days we have an opportunity to INCREASE our viewership and bring literally MILLIONS of Americans into the pro-life movement. - Producing new programs for our “Defending Life” series that airs over EWTN. Tens of millions of people have access to EWTN over their cable and satellite TV providers. These viewers are good people. Their hearts are in the right place when it comes to fighting abortion. Our new programs will motivate them to get out of their living rooms and join us on the front lines of the battle to end abortion.
- Providing pro-life activists the materials they need to recruit members of their local community into the fight against abortion. Priests for Life is a constant source of educational materials for the pro-life movement. We print up and ship out booklets, pamphlets, documents, videos and more for pro-lifers to use.
- Sending our priests and Pastoral Associates on the road to preach the Gospel of Life and win uncommitted Americans over to the side of life. As I said, America is primed for a pro-life revolution! And Priests for Life’s dynamic team will be out in full force to show countless numbers of men and women how they can turn their pent up outrage over the drive to legalize infanticide into CONCRETE ACTION that will protect the youngest members of our human family from being killed in abortion. Of particular importance will be the work of three key members of our team:
Evangelist Alveda King: Alveda heads up Priests for Life’s Civil Rights for the Unborn
project and works tirelessly to open the eyes of African-Americans to
the fact that abortion is literally destroying the African-American
community. This is by design. It’s eugenics pure and simple. And
Alveda is winning Black America over to the side of life.
Bryan Kemper: Bryan heads up Priests for Life’s “Stand True” Youth Outreach
ministry. Like Alveda, Bryan has a dogged determination to end
abortion in our lifetime. Recognizing the critical need the pro-life
movement has for the energy and enthusiasm of young people, Bryan
attends venues where young people gather and recruits them into the
fight.
Janet Morana: Janet is
Priests for Life’s Executive Director and is working hard on several
fronts to recruit more Americans into the fight. Not only is she the
co-host of “The Catholic View for Women” on EWTN, she is also the co-founder (along with Georgette Forney of Anglicans for Life) of the “Silent No More Awareness Campaign”.
Using both those forums, as well as the books she has authored, Janet
is winning people into the movement and increasing our numbers and our
clout with lawmakers.
- Working with other pro-life groups and organizations to shut down abortion mills! Last year alone Priests for Life’s encouragement helped pro-life activists shut down 40 abortion mills. This continued an ongoing trend. In fact, there are 159 fewer abortion death mills today than there were in 2012.
Another project we’ll be ramping up throughout our “90 Day Campaign for Life” is our work with lawmakers at both the national and the state level. This is crucial because it wasn’t just ordinary, hard-working moms and dads who were appalled to see legislators celebrate the killing of babies.
Many fence-sitting lawmakers were equally outraged and are now willing to work with their pro-life colleagues.
Priests for Life is going to equip the pro-life legislators and challenge the pro-abortion ones by sending them medically accurate illustrations of exactly what takes place in the most common late term abortion procedures. Most lawmakers have no idea what abortionists do to babies during these horrific procedures. It’s barbaric.
So Priests for Life is showing them in pictures. This way no one can claim ignorance when it comes to voting for bills that would allow abortionists to rip healthy, viable babies limb from limb in a late-term abortion.
Again, that’s just one more project Priests for Life is taking on over these next ninety days.
It’s a lot of work, to be sure.
But as I noted earlier, we’ve got to strike while the iron is hot.
 |
All of the polling data shows this to be true.
One recent poll shows how strongly America is with us right now. According to the survey:
- 80% of Americans OPPOSE abortion the day before a child is born.
- 79% OPPOSE third-trimester abortions.
- 80% say babies that survive abortions should be cared for and kept alive.
- 68% of these people OPPOSE abortion the day before a child is born.
- 66% of them OPPOSE third trimester or late-term abortions.
- And 77% of them support the right to life for children who survive an abortion.
So we’re pushing against an open door here. We don’t have to do any real convincing.
Our fellow Americans are already convinced that late-term abortion is wrong. All we have to do now is be out there giving these good people a concrete way to turn their outrage into action.
Which is precisely what Priests for Life will be doing throughout our $1.2 million “90 Day Campaign for Life.”
But this pro-life window of opportunity won’t stay open long.
Which is why I’ve sent you this urgent email and asking for your immediate help today ... and your promise to support Priests for Life’s “90 Day Campaign for Life” as best you can from now until it ends on Pentecost Sunday. Never forget:
Abortion corrupts our entire society – the economy, health care, foreign policy, the War on Terror, immigration ... everything!
That reality is on full display. Pro-abortion fanatics are imposing
both late-term abortion and infanticide on the nation. The vast
majority of Americans OPPOSE them. And it falls to us – the Priests for
Life family … the recognized face and voice of the pro-life movement –
to ACT NOW and bring them into the fight to end legalized abortion-on-demand in America.As you prayerfully consider how God is calling you to help, don’t be afraid to be more generous than you think you can be. Remember: God is never outdone in generosity. He knows the sacrifices you are making for His innocent children and He will bless you a hundred fold.
On behalf of the youngest members of our human family, thank you for your immediate and generous reply. I will remember you at every Mass I offer during this important 90-day period; as will the other priests of Priests for Life. Thank you again and may God bless you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life
P.S. I meant to remind you of this in my email but didn’t. In spite of the fact that many at the Vatican – as well as Bishops around the world and here in the U.S. – have strongly encouraged our Priests for Life ministry, we receive no funds from any official Church entity ... neither from Rome nor here in the United States.
Every penny we receive comes from individuals just like you: Hard-working, dedicated pro-life champions. Which is why the success of our 90-Day Campaign for LIFE depends entirely on you and the Priests for Life family. It will take a minimum of $1.2 million to fund all the work I listed for you in this email. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll take a moment RIGHT NOW to make as large a donation to Priests for Life as you can ... and why I’m counting on you to continue to supply us with financial help from now until Pentecost Sunday.
