Kushner Can Solve Israel-Palestine Conflict Because He’s ‘Read 25 Books on It’

Photo: Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images Late last year, I determined that I knew very little about the second Iraq War, since, in the spring of 2003, I was more focused on how many Mountain Dews I could drink without throwing up, and worrying if the weight of having braces and glasses at the same time would be too much for the neck of a porcelain-tough sixth-grade boy.

It appears that Jared Kushner went through a similar thought process when justifying his fitness for taking on the 72-year Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Speaking with Sky News Arabia on Wednesday, Kushner explained why — nepotism aside — he was the right man for the job: I’ve been studying this now for three years. I’ve read 25 books on it, I’ve spoken to every leader in the region, I’ve spoken to everyone who’s been involved in this.

That’s all but impossible, considering that the Palestinian National Authority has rejected Trump administration invitations to come to the table, aware that any deal made by the current White House would be designed to exert power in the region and to benefit Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s also outright wrong, as proved yesterday in an interview with Christiane Amanpour. When the CNN host claimed that former Israeli officials involved in past peace plans, like Yossi Beilin, admonished the new framework, Kushner dismissed his kind as “random individuals who don’t have a lot of say or maybe knowledge.

Holding space for all the real experts, PhDs, profs, former advisors, years of studying and real-world policy and academic folks right now. I see you!

One of the life lessons I’ve learned in my time on earth is that money and status give little to no guarantee of skill or intelligence.

that’s what weasels do jaredkushner

See what happen when you hung out too much with Trumpanian clan.

BigBrotherGOD1 Ridicule and it will go away. Not this time. Meet the highest paid person at CNN.

Fake news I hope he sues you and the company for millions. This is legit slander.

Idiot

What a robotic ass

The problem here is.. He actually believe that!!!

AskMrMickey I read 25 books in my first week of grad school.

Poster child for incompetent nepotism. Banana Republic of America. Vote out all of the complicit and corrupt gop.

Delusional? God complex

Say whaaaat?!!!

Well jumping' Jehoshaphat...that takes it right back to the beginning...someone read a bible and the rest is violent history...🤪...This is the 'best and brightest' of the Trump administration...🤪...and it's looking very much like these clowns will get a second term...🤢🤮🤢

Imbecile!!!🙄

Well look at that. Turns out Jared is the stupidest.

If that’s true, then he should most def read a few books on how to improve one’s personality.

Well gee that’s good news

Another stable genius

Rolling on the floor laughing.

Sounds like Ivanka married her father. Ego much?

How to become a member of Trump's family? .that's easy...being totally crazy is fundamental.

At least he can read which is more than you can say for Trump.

They were all Choose Your Own Adventure, sticker books, scratch and sniff, and Dick and Jane Learn Foreign Policy books

what he reads?

I wonder if one of them had to do with Sneetches. 25books

Does that include the Harry Potter books and Game of Thrones? Plus World Peace for Dummies?

Wow! I can solve the Constituional Crisis because I have many books about the Constitution and took Constitutional Law! Yep.

Douchebag...

I’ve read 26😉

I read a couple of books on Quantum Science. I got this.

I guess I should've solved crimes as Batman since I've read over 100 comic books on it!

Unrelated to this ridiculous reasoning, Jared has a woman's mouth and lips, right?

I've read 25 books on gangs...I'm not in a gang nor do I gangbang! 🤣 Keep trying Jared!

But did he watch a YouTube video on it, like when I learned how to install a new toilet 🤔

That's cute

😂 I swear.

I can solve it too, rename it Republic of Israel and Palestine RIP with both Jews and Muslims in the government.

Come on, it’s 25 more than Trump has ever read. At least give him that!😂

I bet he didn't say it that way. It seems as if You don't want him to succeed?

Crazier to think the writers at nymag prefer it not get solved at all.

all published by regnery no doubt

sigh, I'm sure that's what he said NYT

Just a thought, but maybe Trump should have hired one of those experts who wrote a books instead ...

No Really!! 🤣 👇👇

He didn't learn anything about justice and peace.

Don’t forget his background in real estate.

I trust those that author 25 books more.

Upstaging his Father-in-Law, who has only read 20.

He couldn’t solve the Wednesday crossword in the paper! 🤷‍♀️ OnlyTheBestPeople

The overinflated ego and entitlement are blinding

lowbar

sherr_windy Does reading the same book 25 times count?

Kushner is an idiot.

And probably with a C student understanding of those books. He's not the brightest bulb in the room.

Book list would be nice, Jared

Kushner Promises Israel Plan Will Relocate All Palestinians To Generous Swath Of Mediterranean SeaWASHINGTON—Claiming that the proposal represented a “realistic two-state solution,” Jared Kushner held a press conference Wednesday to make assurances that the administration’s Israel plan would relocate all Palestinians to a generous swath of the Mediterranean Sea. “We have not forgotten about the Palestinian people, and this roadmap will allow them to live in peace within the briny depths of the Mediterranean,” said Kushner, noting that the miles of open water represented a significant increase in Palestanian territory. “This plan will also allow Palestine to place its capital directly in the Strait of Gibraltar, where it will be separated from Israeli territory by a sea wall. The Palestinians will be given every opportunity to swim and splash around as long as they don’t attempt to impede on Israeli sovereignty by trying to crawl out of the water or wash up on the beach.” Kushner added that as a further concession to the Palestinain people, the plan would include a four-year freeze before Israelis could annex the Mediterranean and drive the Palestinians into the Atlantic Ocean. just got to make sure that theres no oil there, or theyll have to relocate them to another generous swath of the Mediterranian. cameron_kasky cameron_kasky Liar, time will tell.

Kushner: Palestine May ‘Screw Up’ Peace Plan Like Every Deal ‘They’ve Ever Had’The president’s son-in-law did not share much empathy for the Palestinian people, a signal he might need to boost for his “conceptual map” to become a reality A peace deal with all parties that's a con job You can’t screw it up when you were never consulted. Based on this logic, if someone bought me a new car, but told me I would have to pay all the payments then I should feel guily for screwing up their gift by being unwilling to accept it/pay for it. I'm sure he's well versed and has a degree in international relations and studied politics. Oh wait, he's a lawyer, with no concept of reality

Novelist Paulo Coelho says he's scrapping children's book he wrote with Kobe Bryant out of respectHowever, Coelho didn't rule out 'writing someday about things I learned from Kobe and how much of a larger than life person he was.' No, continue to write the book for him, don’t scrape it! Write it!!💜💜 No! We need it (give it a 6’months to year) his work cannot be silenced. It’s bigger than him. Agreed. It should go on, and maybe donate the proceeds in Bryant's name to a charitable cause he championed.

Brazilian Writer Deletes Children's Book Co-Written By Kobe BryantNovelist Paulo Coelho told AP he's deleting the draft of the book he wrote with Bryant 'because it didn’t make any sense to publish without him' and it “wouldn’t add anything relevant to him or his family.' That’s really insensitive. Sounds like it was also part of Kobe. Then why is this writing deciding to erase it? paulocoelho the message of the book would be such inspiration. That's stupid. Kobe wanted it published. Now part of his legacy will die.
