'Thunderous silence in the Arab world'

Prof. Efraim Inbar, president of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies, told Arutz Sheva on Tuesday that the Palestinian Authority (PA) will eventually have to accept the United States’ recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

"This is an important declaration, because the president of the most important country in the world says that he recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a courageous step that should be praised," he said, adding that the declaration sends an important message to the PA.

"The Palestinians do not like this declaration because they want all of Jerusalem and maybe even more. As far as they’re concerned, it is a great diplomatic loss. If we talk about a peace process, this statement brings a realistic dimension that is very much needed for the process. As long as the Palestinians are not realistic about what they can get from Israel, there will be no peace," continued Prof. Inbar.

He noted that so far, despite some of the recent violent protests, the declaration has been met with relative calm.

"We have already seen the results of the statement. All in all, the interruption of the routine is relatively small, and there is also a thunderous silence on the part of the Arab world....

Predictable, therefore all the pundits and pontificators predicted the opposite.

Much to the dismay of leftist doom-and-gloomers.

The Arab-Muslims have been spoiled for generations and raised on NOT PEACE but MILITARY CONQUEST, hence the PLO, Paleostinian LIBERATION Organization.

Well, they tried to self-fulfill their own prophesies, and to prophesize something self-fulfilling, but the air is out of the balloon that once flew so high.

The vaunted “Arab Street” is actually composed of cowards and wimps. Everyone urges someone else to die for Islam, but most don’t want to be first in line.

Am smelling 'art of the deal' at work here. I’ll say Trump spent all year setting up this domino to fall. Timing is everything and he no doubt got a lot of other things agreed upon and set in stone well before pulling the trigger. The Arab states are probably boxed in to where they can’t make a racket, cause problems without messing something up for themselves, not to mention losing face and so forth. They have to choose between being an asset - or just being an ass.
