Jared Kushner is Trump's point man in the Middle East... what could go wrong?

Everything.

Jared Kushner is the proverbial teenager dressed up in an old man's suit.

Trump, a B-list Manhattan property developer, if that, reached into the A-list of Manhattan property developers to source his Middle East envoy.

The fact that young Kushner is his son-in-law just makes this story more interesting.

What are Jared's qualifications for being Middle East point man?

Well, he's a Jew.

So what. Chomsky is a Jew. Gilad Atzmon is a Jew. Norman Finkelstein is a Jew. None of them are likely to become presidential advisers any time soon.

But Kushner is the right kind of Jew. He's the kind of Jew who learned his Middle East history at the feet of that great scholar of Judaism, Benyamin Netanyahu.

As such, he's pretty much on the same page as Israel's current Deputy Foreign Minister, Tzipi Hotovely.

Her take on Middle East affairs is that God promised that land to the Israelites all those many years ago, and if you're not on board with that, you are a God-defying antisemite.

Never before in history have so many atheists turned to the word of God to justify their racist policies than in the current Bibi cabinet.

As hilarious as this may be, it's only going to get funnier.

Why is the Arthur Topham trial invisible in Canadian media?

This is an important enough case that you shouldn't have to go to the fringes to hear about it. International "A" lister Gilad Atzmon was even in town to testify as an expert witness.

Atzmon is on at least two "A" lists.

World class jazz musician.

World class pain-in-the-ass to the Likudniks.

How does his presence escape the notice of Global/CTV/CBC, the National Post, the Toronto Star, and the national newspaper of record, the Globe and Mail?
