Stephan:   It is my view that Israel, led by a Trump clone has made a major geopolitical blunder through bullying and incompetence, and it is going to transform the way the people and governments of other nations view them, including in the United States, as this article describes. The truth that dare not be spoken is that the Western allies of the 1940s did very little to help the Jews, the U.S. even turned away ships filled with Jewish refugees from the Nazis. After the war seeing the concentration camps of the holocaust, seared into the collective consciousness of the West, a horror and embarrassment. Something had to be done, but none of the Christian countries, including the U.S. wanted a great influx of Jewish refugees. And a militant group of Jews did not want that either. They wanted their own country. So the homeland option it was to everyone from the most orthodox Jews, to the Christian evangelicals. The only people disturbed were the Palestinians and their Arab neighbors. For nearly three-quarters of a century, Israel has relied on that embarrassment and guilt, as their get-out-of-jail card. But the new generation of Jews and Christians are not burdened with that and are seeing Israel just on the terms of what it is doing. It is not to Israel's benefit. This is occurring at the same time that the Middle East is disturbed and the power of oil and, thus, Arab influence is waning. This and the rise of China, I think, are the two major geopolitical trends to watch.
