Rahm Emanuel just proposed his preferred Democratic Party policy on Israel: Our strongest ally must forfeit its historic heartland for the creation of a 22nd Arab state or face sanctions and a severing of the American alliance. 

In doing so, he showcased his misunderstanding of reality. Emanuel’s remarks displayed a contrast in how to address failed ideas. President Donald Trump signed an awful ceasefire agreement with Iran just a few weeks ago. After continual violations of the deal by the Iranian regime, he announced the deal was over. Just this week, the president explained he soured on Iran’s newer regime leaders after getting to know them. Better to cut one’s losses, despite the embarrassment. Contrast this with Emanuel’s recalcitrance.
