Paul Craig Roberts \u2013 paulcraigroberts.org July 1, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In discussion yesterday with Nima on Dialogue Works about the Israeli-Iranian-Trump-Netanyahu ongoings, I suggested a bold and innovative plan for the Middle East that Trump should present to the world in a speech to the UN General Assembly.\u00a0 I even offered to write the speech. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/L-8j_NSxC14<\/a><\/p>\n

I formed the plan from mulling over insights into Trump\u2019s attitude toward the Middle East from Gilbert Doctorow, Michel Chossudovsky, and from Trump\u2019s news conference with Netanyahu when Trump stated Washington\u2019s claim to Gaza as an American possession.<\/p>\n

Doctorow pointed out that it was irrelevant whether Trump had destroyed the three underground Iranian nuclear sites.\u00a0 What mattered is that Trump\u2019s assertion, true or false, had destroyed Netanyahu\u2019s excuse for war with Iran. Is Netanyahu going to risk Washington\u2019s protection by contradicting President Trump?<\/p>\n

Chossudovsky pointed out that in the press conference at which Trump stated Washington\u2019s claim to Gaza, Trump expressed the idea of a Gaza resort as the anchor for an American Middle East colony in place of Greater Israel.<\/p>\n

In front of Netanyahu Trump unveiled a vision of a Middle East made rich by American management.\u00a0 It would be a different kind of colonial management from the British\/French approach that extracted assets and sent them home to Britain and France.\u00a0 Trump envisioned a partnership in which the \u201ccolonies\u201d would be shareholders sharing in the profits from economic development.\u00a0 This would be good for Israel as well.\u00a0 When a presstitute asked Netanyahu his opinion, Netanyahu did not disavow it.<\/p>\n

I was surprised that Trump\u2019s claim to Gaza and its reconstruction and his idea of a reconstruction of the Middle Eastern countries\u00a0 that previous US regimes had destroyed for Israel did not get a big news play.\u00a0 But Chossudovsky saw it, and he helped me to see it.<\/p>\n

Ask yourselves, Is there any better solution to the Israeli-Muslim problem in the Middle East?<\/p>\n

Israel is smaller in area than New Jersey.\u00a0 Iran is 2.5 times larger than Texas.\u00a0 Israel has fewer than 10 million people.\u00a0 Iran has more than 90 million people.\u00a0 Iran can produce modern missiles in greater quantities than Israel can be supplied from the US.\u00a0 In a recent news conference in a demonstration of Israeli insanity, Netanyahu added the territory of Pakistan to Greater Israel.\u00a0 Pakistan has nuclear weapons and a population of 250 million.<\/p>\n

Israel has zero chance of winning a war with Iran and the same for Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Israel knows this but is confident that the power that the Israel Lobby can exert over dumbshit American\u2019s\u00a0 lives and money guarantees that Americans will fight more wars for Israel.\u00a0 The Israeli-subsidized Christian Zionists\u2013a contradiction of terms\u2013are all for it.\u00a0 Amazing, isn\u2019t it, Israel has even corrupted Christian evangelicals, paying their preachers to send Americans to war for Israel.<\/p>\n

What might be reducing Israel\u2019s control over America is the weakened position of Netanyahu, under two Israeli court indictments for crimes, and by the destruction inflicted on Israel by its irresponsible attack on Iran, culminating in Netanyahu\u2019s plea to Trump to stop the war before Israel had to sue for peace.<\/p>\n

This leaves Trump with the upper hand.\u00a0 Israel now understands that it cannot exist without Washington\u2019s protection.\u00a0 Thus Trump can force Netanyahu to give up the unrealistic Zionist goal of Greater Israel and comply with Trump\u2019s vision of a colony under America\u2019s redevelopment of the Middle East.<\/p>\n

If Trump would take this plan to the UN, it would silence Israel and the American neoconservative zionists and save us from war that \u00a0could turn nuclear.<\/p>\n

If Trump establishes peace and cooperation in the Middle East, he can do the same with the West and Russia.\u00a0 Russia was the ally of Britain and France in both WW I and WW II.\u00a0 It is not difficult to come to terms with a former ally.\u00a0 There is no ideological reason and no territorial reason for conflict between the West and Russia.<\/p>\n

Think about America\u2019s waste of resources and prestige during the first quarter of the 21st century.\u00a0 Trillions of dollars spend destroying Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Somalia with zero gain.\u00a0 No one except military\/security war profits got anything from these wars. There was no terrorist threat. Washington brought no one democracy, only destruction.<\/p>\n

Think about the destruction Washington brought to entire countries for no purpose than Israel\u2019s absurd idea of a Greater Israel.\u00a0 The millions of dead, permanently maimed, and dislocated people, many of whom have located in Europe and the US burdening those taxpayers with their upkeep. WHO BENEFITTED??<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s give Trump a chance.\u00a0 An American partnership in the Middle East is far better than the conflicts inherent in \u00a0Greater Israel.\u00a0 If Israel refuses to go along, Trump should just run over them.\u00a0 Israel is of no consequence in the world.\u00a0 Israel since its existence has never been anything except a cause of conflict, death, and destruction.\u00a0 Why a people like this has been tolerated, I do not know.<\/p>\n

Can Sunni and Shia be brought together and Muslims brought together with Jews? \u00a0Seems fantastic. \u00a0But perhaps they will see it as preferable to the continuation of endless bloodshed.<\/p>\n

If Netanyahu has any sense, he will let Trump rescue the Israeli people.<\/p>\n
