If Trump was a better man he would have included the following points in his ceasefire proposal:
Recognition of Palestine as an independant State.
Require Israel to withdraw all Settlements from the West Bank (ie vacate them).
Require Iran to give women full and equal rights.
Require Iran to hold democratic elections.
Recognise that there is no ‘one true faith’ and that America recognises and respects all faiths.
The first two points delivers some justice to the Palestinians and this would hopfully command repect from the Arab States.
The third and fourth points would improve the lot of Iranian people, get their support, plus act as a strong example to the other States in the Region.
The fifth point would walk America back from trying to behave like ‘their God’ was the superior God, and stop America sounding like this was a religious war, akin to a crusade. This demonstration of religious tolerance would hopefully be a good example to Christians, Jews and Arabs in the Region.
Better American Presidents of recent years might aspire to a good standard of behaviour: clearly Trump is not a good man, and would not act as a role model. You’d hope one day he would look in the mirror and appreciate the horrendous ‘legacy’ he will leave behind him…..
