RUSH: I mentioned this leak. Of course, General Kelly, one of the things he\u2019s supposed to do is be tightening these leaks down. He\u2019s supposed to be ending these. This one is from the New York Post: “Latest White House Leak Proves No One Can Be Trusted<\/a> — Even congressional interns can\u2019t be trusted after [a congressional intern] leaked a recording of a speech by Jared Kushner in which he admitted ‘there may be no solution\u2019 to the conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

“‘So, what do we offer that\u2019s unique? I don\u2019t know,\u2019 President Trump\u2019s son-in-law said in the speech on Monday, which was leaked despite a stern warning from an administration staffer not to spill the beans.” You know, it\u2019s obvious — even despite the firings and despite this — there doesn\u2019t seem to be any restraint on these leakers. People aren\u2019t afraid of punishment. They\u2019re not afraid of being called out. Many of them are probably not even afraid of being found out or discovered. They continue.<\/p>\n

But this one… This one I find fascinating, \u2019cause this is exactly right: There isn\u2019t a solution to this if they\u2019re talking negotiation. This has been one of the biggest follies. This is why I could never live and work in Washington. I could never be of Washington. I could never be part of that process, because this has been one of the biggest jokes perpetrated on people my whole life. The whole idea of Middle East peace as a diplomatic solution? It\u2019s impossible. There will never be one, and I\u2019m glad Kushner said so. I\u2019m glad he\u2019s realized it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Kushner is very young compared to all these other diplomats, and he\u2019s way ahead of the game here. But look at what we\u2019ve had to put up with. We\u2019ve had Jimmy Carter and the Camp David accords, and we had Clinton bring in Arafat and all these players to the White House. We\u2019ve had everything under the sun, and it is one of these things that never ends no matter who the president is. No matter what party runs Washington — or runs Congress, I should better say — this is a thing that is just part of Washington that goes on and on and on to which there will never be a solution.<\/p>\n

Yet it is something careers are made of. It is something that people have invested in for all kinds of reasons other than solution, and everybody plays along. The Drive-By Media duly reports every phase of the latest round of talks, ideas, negotiations on Middle East peace. What is Middle East peace? What is it, anyway? Is it still the Palestinians versus the Israelis and a Palestinian state? What is it anymore? If we achieved Middle East peace, what would be the result? What would happen? I don\u2019t think anybody can even tell you anymore.<\/p>\n

But the one thing I know: This is a conflict that goes back to the beginning of time. It is a biblical religious conflict that does not have a diplomatic solution. Not a single side in this dispute is ever going to surrender because somebody talks them into it. There\u2019s never gonna be — and I have to think that all these people playing this game have to know this, which is why is it strikes me as a gigantic phony exercise. We\u2019ve got whole think tanks that exist. We\u2019ve got scholars and thinkers and think tanks. We\u2019ve got experts on Middle East peace.<\/p>\n

Whenever a mortar is launched in the Middle East, they\u2019re brought out to television to analyze what it means and what\u2019s going on. We don\u2019t need any of that. We know that it\u2019s a never-ending conflict. People that pay attention to it do. But there hasn\u2019t been a conflict like this that has ever been solved with words, with the Red Cross, with environmental policy. It\u2019s just never going to happen. The only way — and I\u2019ve said this before; it\u2019s nothing new. The only way this is ever gonna end… It\u2019s like every other conflict ends.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only gonna end when someone loses militarily and surrenders because of it. But nobody wants to start a war over this, not a permanent war. I mean, we\u2019ve had Israel under attack. They\u2019ve defended themselves, and they\u2019ve been savaged and criticized for having the audacity to win each of these attacks that they\u2019ve suffered. Israel continues to be portrayed as the problem in the area. And this is the whole thing that sustains all of this. But it\u2019s never gonna end, and there are people that don\u2019t want it to end. It\u2019s like the racial strife in this country.<\/p>\n

The people who ostensibly are there to solve the racial strife are the last people that want it the solved. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton would literally have nothing to do if it were ever solved, and so it won\u2019t be. It\u2019s too valuable an issue to exploit. It\u2019s too valuable an issue that can be used to shake people down. It\u2019s too valuable a political issue. So all of this conflict and all of this strife has become part of the system, and we are all victimized by phonies telling us they have the answer and the solution when that\u2019s the last thing they\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n

I think this also frustrates people, because it\u2019s common sense that all of these things dividing the country are happening in perpetuity with no real desire to solve them. So people want to take matters into their own hands. So they keep electing candidates they think are gonna be different, take different approaches to things, and that\u2019s one of the reasons that Trump was elected is because he had a different solution to every problem we\u2019ve been talking about. The solution, actually, if that ever happened, would be genuinely beneficial to the American people.<\/p>\n

\"\"Which is unique and is a standout from most other solutions that people have to put up with in terms of listening to the endless debate on — pick the issue — racial strife, labor versus management. Doesn\u2019t matter what it is. Middle East peace? The strife has become too profitable. It\u2019s become too valuable to a lot of people\u2019s careers and so forth. So I\u2019m just saying that it\u2019s refreshing. I don\u2019t care if it was a leak that made it happen. It\u2019s refreshing to hear Jared Kushner say, “There may be no solution to the conflict in the Middle East.”<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t! Not the way we\u2019ve been going about it. Where\u2019s the evidence that the way we\u2019ve been going about it for the last 50 years has a solution? There isn\u2019t any, not a shred. Because you\u2019re never gonna convince one side to quit and give up. Can I give you the best evidence ever? Bill Clinton was so desperate to be seen as the president who brought peace to the Middle East, he offered Yasser Arafat everything Arafat was demanding and threw in some goodies. What did Arafat do? He canceled his trip. He didn\u2019t want any part of it. Arafat didn\u2019t want the solution.<\/p>\n

He was given everything he had been demanding; he didn\u2019t want it. He didn\u2019t want the solution, didn\u2019t want to end the strife. It\u2019s never gonna happen. Kushner sees it. It\u2019s a good thing. Well, then what is the solution? Maybe there isn\u2019t one. Maybe certain things just are the way they are. Maybe there isn\u2019t a solution. Maybe what “is” is just the way it is and you manage it. No, I would not say that about tax cuts or tax reform because there are genuine solutions there that have provable benefit-outcomes. But this, Middle East peace? I mean, it\u2019s been going for thousands and thousands of years; everybody has been tackling it the identical way.<\/p>\n

Nobody\u2019s ever made any headway in it, not really. At some point you stop beating your head against the wall. Except they don\u2019t. They continue to beat their heads against the wall and people profit from it and their careers advance on the basis of it. And we\u2019re all misled that there is a solution out there. Kushner at least says that there isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
