Jared Kushner - one of those supposedly unqualified family members, and one that the media has enjoyed throwing rocks at for years now - brokered multiple peace deals in the middle east, something that decades of establishment political and foreign policy figures have been unable to accomplish with little critique from the media.


What Kushner did disassembled something like 30 years of UN effort in the region. He enabled an alliance between two bullies who could agree on a couple of things, and will now use that alliance to beat the shit out of people that disagree with them, to the detriment of, say Palestine.

This "accomplishment" is the equivalent to smuggling some dinosaur embryos to a south american island in a cryogenic cylinder disguised as shaving cream. It's not so much that career diplomats COULDN'T do it, it's that they understood why they SHOULDN'T do it.


The UN was doing such a great job with Middle East peace... such a shame that Kushner and the bad orange man ruined all the great work they had done.
