Israeli tourists view the Syrian side of the border at Ben Tal next to the Israeli-Syrian border in the Golan Heights on Friday.
The United States insisted on territorial integrity, because it did not want to see a repeat of the 1930s when Japanese aggression against China, Italian aggression against Abyssinia, and German aggression against Austria and Czechoslovakia presaged the coming of World War II. Acting on this principle, the United States never recognized Russian sovereignty over the Baltic states or, today, over Crimea. U.S.
By accepting this resolution, the Arab states and eventually the Palestinian Authority de facto agreed to Israel’s right to exist. The exact contours of its borders were to be left to an agreement between the parties. This led to Egyptian and Jordanian recognition of the Jewish state, and to lengthy negotiations with the Palestinians over the West Bank and Gaza Strip and with the Syrians over the Golan Heights.
Trump took this momentous step as a pre-election present to his pal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who shares with him many of the same campaign donors , the same political supporters , the same disdain for the rule of law , and the same affection for right-wing extremists .
I disagree it's time we make a New World, free of Antisemitism, Bigotry and Hatred.
As always he doesn't care even though this is going to impact national security?
So what. Who declared that as sacrosanct? YOU?
Trump makes a “huge mistake” every time he wakes up in the morning!!
Not only in the Middle East.
Well, you know what they say about opinions...
It would only be a mistake if he were doing it with the intent of serving the interests of the US, which he is not and never has
Not only Trump after the creation of Israel all American Presidents committed huge mistake in the Middle East.
More fake news
Max Boot, which makes this entire piece completely irrelevant.
Pure fiction. TruthDiedAtThePost
Yeah. Defeating ISIS was a total f**k up.
WaPo had been making mistakes in opinions for the last 2 years 😂😂😂
You people are sick!
Yeah, how are we supposed to stay in forever wars if he lets our military win them. Shame on him.
Trump doesn't count interfering in Israel's elections in Bibi's favor to be a 'mistake'. Everything else affected by his Golan Heights decision is academic. And Trump isn't an academic.
Where is the outrage!
Written by a person who never achieved anything in their life, telling a very successful president what to do LOL
The post-1945 world order ended when the Soviet Union ended. We've been hanging onto the teetering pillars of that old world for far too long. Time to build a new world.
Don’t his base want the rapture which starts in Israel?
Who among you understands the strategic significance of the Golan Heights? If you do speak up if you don't shut up.
Another. Yet Another.
Yesterday the U.N. Human Rights Commission adopted a resolution to ban arms sales to Israel, and accused Israelis of committing war crimes. No coverage in msm.
I might bomb Saudi Arabia next !
When we see opinion and Trump in the same paragraph from WaPo, we knows it’s always gonna be more leftist claptrap. What else is new with your “opinions?” 😂
Let me guess we are all gonna die or something?
An a opinion of a Islamic cohort! Isreal is surrounded by millions wishing to destroy them...
He won't be the first, nor the last
His mission, which he decided to accept, was to make a huge mistake in every country, on every continent. He's well on his way to the Grand Slam of huge mistakes.
stop hating on Our Great President Donald Trump....the American people know you have an agenda against him and lie....Hellen Keller coukd see that. When will you apologize for your lies and false reporting? 🤔 Losers MAGA4EVER
Take your opinions and stick it
Really the United States should mind its own business!
Trump is a huge mistake To bad people so gullible& stupid to see that
But he got you to bark MaxBoot
Duh. Duuuuh. DUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH! It’s like we would have been better off electing that Cat who is mayor of a town in alaska. Shout out to StubbsMayor!
You expected him to break his streak?
Slow news day, huh?
Trump supported his far-right friend in Netanyahu, and boosted his support among the evangelicals that make up his only reliable base. This is about his interests, he's actively harming America to protect himself.
So you say - and generally you have an aweful opinion
The WashingtonPost is complicit in what's happening to (what passes for) American Democracy. It's crumbling before our very eyes, thanks to publications like yours. Face reality. Ugly, vile as it is. Oh, if Trump decides to shut down WP, will you also call it a 'mistake'? FAIL
freeing land from agressive tyrannies is right and just. Show me an unbiased court that would disagree with it - despite formalism.
Giving to Israel what's long due is not at all mistake.
1/ Freedom Caucus is behind every abhorrent policy. 'They prefer chaos and disarray, are anarchists, who threaten the faith they profess to believe in, Christianity, as they fail to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and instead follow the beliefs of Ayn Rand.'
You do realize that your 'opinions' hold about as much water as a broken balloon. You're being laughed at!!
No kidding its almost like his base wants war in the middle east or the end of days.
End U.S. support for the facist, murderous, outlaw state of Israel. Support the international BDS movrment.
You guys can't be THAT stupid or THAT irresponsible or THAT reckless. It's not a 'mistake.' Trump doesn't give a $% about the MiddleEast. It's all about what's in it for HIM & international TrumpCrimeSyndicate that protects him. When will the US media STOP playing his game?
The raving evangelists that make up his base pray each day for Armageddon. He is trying hard to deliver.
You don't know, stop the Anti-American rhetoric.
Max Boot seems to ignore the fact that Turkey claims Cyprus is theirs. Where is his article on Cyprus?
We keep making a worse mistake in allowing Trump to continue to pretend to be the POTUS.
Yeah, that’s the big Trump news right now. Sure, sure.
The lunatic strikes again!!🤦
We have been at war for 17 years stop supporting war monsters
Define “huge”? In the context of Obama’s Syria policy, Iran policy, Israel policy, ISIS handling, etc...
Was the mistake bigger than slandering a boy and getting sued for $250m? Why should anyone listen to you?
Hey world , Who's your daddy, TRUMPS YOUR DADDY.
What's stopping realDonaldTrump from just declaring the occupied territories part of Israel? Bad precedent and obviously just a cynical attempt to boost netanyahu reelection chances. 👎
Sure. Orange Man Bad.

OPINION!!!!!!!!!
What doesn't Trump make a mistake on?
Liberals also claimed it was mistake to move the embassy to Jerusalem. The world was going to tumble into a hell pit or something. But everything was fine.
I think you made a mistake hiring your reporters! Save that money wp u owe a lot of money to that kid with a Indian in his face! Hahaha
American presidents been making huge mistakes in the Middle East for decades.
Your opinion is useless. This paper is a fraud. Thanks for a good laugh.
I disagree.
...and Russia? no news about that?
Not as big as the democrats did trying to “trump” up fake charges on him
