What FRESH Hell...
Hard to watch these images on the screen and just not be worried about the future, Haas said. I see none of the seeds of progress there. What you see are the seeds of growing confrontation and violence, bad for the Palestinians and bad for Israel. What the United States is not doing is helping the situation.
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough said the move undermined Israels security, and Haas interrupted with his voice quaking in anger as he slammed the Trump administrations diplomatic efforts.
Theres a concept of medicine where doctors intervene and make patients worse, Haas said. The Middle East is a dying patient in many ways. Its called iatrogenic illness when doctors intervene and hurt or kill patients. American diplomacy in the Middle East could be fairly charged with being iatrogenic.

(8,203 posts)This coward is leading us right into a gauntlet of mayhem - don't know, that when the bombs start flying, we will ever recover as a leader - today marks the start of calamity in the world..peace by might?
Reminds me of the day we started bombing Iraq...or escalated the war in VN...no plan....no end game...where the hell is congress..where is the vision ..I am totally disgusted..and fear for those in the middle east who are now considered collateral damage..
This surely is US provocation..of the highest order...
