From the CBC
Israel said on Tuesday it would name a new community on the Golan Heights after U.S. President Donald Trump as an expression of gratitude for his recognition of its claim of sovereignty over the strategic plateau.
Israel captured the Golan from Syria in a 1967 war and annexed it, in a move not recognized internationally. The United States broke with other world powers last month when Trump signed a decree recognizing Israeli sovereignty there.
"All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement made on the Golan.
He added that, after the Jewish Passover festival, he would "bring to the government a resolution calling for a new community on the Golan Heights named after President Donald J. Trump."
COMMENT:-
This seems to me to be an incredibly brilliant move. As long as Mr. Trump is the President of the United States of America absolutely no one will even think about attacking "Trumptown" for fear of attracting massive retaliation from the United States of America and it is only the fear of massive retaliation from the United States of America that has totally stamped out terrorism in the world today.
Right?
PS - The rumour that the Israeli government is about to declare the Gaza Strip to be "The International Donald Trump Peace Memorial and Golf Course" is **T*O*T*A*L*L*Y** false.
