RUTHIE BLUM: Trump’s game-changing speech of the century. “In a complete about-face from Obama – who made good on his campaign promise to woo the Islamic world and delivered a pandering address at Cairo University to a Muslim Brotherhood-heavy audience – ‘The Donald’ went to Israel. This turned out to be more than symbolic, as Trump proceeded to undertake a series of unprecedented moves that served what he saw, rightly, as mutually beneficial to America and Israel, and healthy for the world at large. . . . To describe this as a breath of fresh air following eight years of the polluted atmosphere created by the Obama administration would be a gross understatement.”

Side with civilization against the barbarians. This shouldn’t be hard, but for much of our political class — and even more of Europe’s — it goes against the grain.

Plus: “For the first time in his career, Abbas’s tantrums didn’t work. Team Trump responded to his snub by shrugging and treating him like the tiny fish in the miniature pond he actually is.”
