Two western governments (England and Israel) has leadership supporting the Trump administration in a partisan way. This is now a "special relationship" not between countries but between the moneyed interests of ultra-right fascist ideologues. The real question is what will the US "Democratic" Party in the US do. Its old strategy of providing a milder version of moneyed interests has failed. You cannot be a "nice corporatist" especially when corporations and moneyed interests got so much more powerful under your administration (8 years of the Obama
rule). They got powerful and they do not need you any more. Rule by proxy for billionaires is not necessary when you can rule directly.
rule). They got powerful and they do not need you any more. Rule by proxy for billionaires is not necessary when you can rule directly.
The lesson will be that the majority of the people (the 99%) do not
have the luxury of playing with the rules of the corporations (dog eatdog world). Their best bet is to challenge the racism, the
divisiveness, the moneyed interests. If this lesson is not yet learned
from the loss of power by the democratic party and its dwindling
support, it should have been learned from the rise of Nazism and
Fascism in Italy and Germany in the 1930s, from the rise of Likud andthe "Jewish home" parties at the expense of labor Zionism in "Israel",from the rise of Sisi in Egypt after the Muslim Brotherhood made the mistake of maintaining close ties with the US, the rise of right wing populism in several European countries after their center left parties failed to challenge moneyed interests etc. History offer many lessons and few seem to want to learn them. Meanwhile, the first US military operation in Yemen killed a few ISIL members as well as 15 women and children (one eight year old girl) and one US Navy SEAL William Owens.

The pace of killing under Trump looks on pace to be similar to that
under Obama. The only difference will be in the racist and
Islamophobic rhetoric which is surely to alienate hundreds of millions of Muslims and thus strengthen terrorism. The self-fulfilling Huntington’s “clash of civilization” is forced down our throats. This has always been the Zionist plan and it is the only way the failing Zionist idea can have a few more years (but then end badly).

I believe in you, and I believe in your destiny.
I believe that you are contributors to this new civilization.
I believe that you have inherited from your forefathers an ancient
dream, a song, a prophecy, which you can proudly lay as a gift of
gratitude upon the lap of America.
I believe that you can say to the founders of this great nation, "Here
I am, a youth... a young tree whose roots were plucked from the hills of Syria, but now, I am deeply rooted here, and I would be fruitful." And I believe that you can say to Abraham Lincoln, the blessed, "Jesus of Nazareth touched your lips when you spoke, and guided your hand when you wrote; and I shall uphold all that you have said and all that you have written."
I believe that even as your fathers came to this land to produce
riches, you were born to produce riches by intelligence and labor.
I believe that it is in you to be good American citizens.
And what is it to be a good citizen?
It is to acknowledge the other person's rights before asserting your
own, but always to be conscious of your own.
It is to be free in word and deed, but it is also to know that your
freedom is subject to the other person's freedom.
It is to produce by labor and only by labor, and to spend less than
you have produced that your children may not be dependent upon the state for support when you are no more.
It is to stand before the towers of New York and Washington, Chicago and San Francisco saying in your hearts, "I am the descendent of a people builded Damascus and Byblos, and Tyre and Sidon and Antioch, and I am here to build with you, and with a will." It is to be proud of being an American, but it is also to be proud that your fathers and mothers came from a land upon which God laid His gracious hand and raised His messengers.
Young Americans of Syrian origin, I believe in you.
