Since posting “It Happened There Just Yesterday” two days ago, I have been carrying on Email discussions with several Jewish BLOG readers, some more strongly Zionistic and some more sympathetic to the Palestinian plight. For the benefit of all of you I reference here two relevant articles that I found worth reading: one by Bret Stephens and one by Donniel Hartman
Too many a serious subject tonight
For justice to do them all tidy and tight
Trump’s Qatar extortion, Kim’s stringing of Trump
Another flipped target, Avenatti’s new dump
There’re more but let’s start with the Qatar tale, sad
Not too long ago Charles Kushner, Jared’s dad
Asked the Emirate, Qatari, to make an investment
To bail out his real-estate’s due mortgage payments
Some hundreds of millions was all it would take
But Qatar said no, a bad deal they’d not make
So Trump turned against them and praised the blockade
Of Qatar by the Saudis; in tweets Trump relayed
Of course Qatar crumbled, gave up and agreed
To make the investment, whatever they need
Good graces with Trump now, the blockade rejected
Successful extortion? What else is expected?
Young Kim is a master at out trumping Trump
When he pulls the string puppet Donald does jump
He egged Trump along promising to de-nuke
Trump desires this badly, can’t afford now to lose
So Kim played his trump: ridding nukes he won’t do
And there won’t be a summit if he must de-nuke
What concessions Trump offers remain to be seen
Like a fiddle Kim plays him; it’s too easy it seems
Two subjects additional meant for tonight
But they’ll have to wait for another time right
I’d say a lot more, since there’s more to be said
But I’m just too tired and I’m heading for bed.
