Jeffery Sachs, the Columbia economist, told Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Judging Freedom” podcast on Tuesday that while he is hopeful that the incoming Trump administration will work to end the war in Ukraine — given Donald Trump’s pro-Netanyahu administration — he sees nothing but continued support by the U.S. for Israel as it continues to punish Palestinians.
Napolitano asked the professor if he believed Trump’s team would “dismantle” any talk of a Palestinian state.
“Probably…yes,” Sachs said. “They will try.”
He said the positive side of the Trump administration is the talk of bringing Ukraine to the negotiating table, which he said would be a “huge step for sanity and peace.”
“But, almost all of the new appointees — Trump, himself — are ardent, pro-Netanyahu supporters, and their idea all along has been to support this very militarized, violent approach to the Palestine issue, which has been to essentially occupy Palestinian land, crush the Palestinians either through some kind of apartheid rule” or ethnic cleansing.
He said he has not encountered any differing views in the Trump administration.
“Their idea all along is: ‘ignore the Palestinians, Israel will take care of that through its various means, and the rest of the region will make peace with Israel because Israel is the most powerful country and the U.S. will give” whatever bribes and incentives that could be given.
Mike Casey, the former U.S. State Department’s deputy political counselor at the United States Office of Palestinian Affairs who resigned in July, told Al Jazeera that it is “frankly embarrassing to see just the way we give in to the demands of the Israeli government and continue to support what the Israeli government is doing even though we know it’s wrong.”

Where Benjamin Natenyahu stands, Trump stands. Trump is a Zionist owned agent of Israel. Of course he pretends not to be but anyone with any intelligence knows Trump is a Jewish tool. He was selected to help Israel. Https://Strangerinajewishworld.blogspot.com
I think the dirt they have on so-called Donald Trump is that he is a transgender neutral. A girl. He never quite has any facial hair. You can't see if he has an Adams apple. Small hands. A small plastic surgery penis shaped like a mushroom. He's got a big ass and hips: a body like a girl. Melania is definitely a guy. Jared kushner is definitely a girl. This is the dirt they have on this so-called family. I can't speak for his children but for all I know they were cloned. His removal of the immigrants will just cause civil war. We have a shit show on the horizon. I'll bet you all our taxes go to Israel and Jewish interests. Nothing is ever left for us. This country is an international disgrace.
