Be interesting to see how Trump and zionism, anti-nepotism champion Jarvanka would respond to this. Also no update how recent Kushner corruption allegations would impact US Israel embassy move by stable leadership:

Avraham Burg




In a new book (https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/avraham-burg/in-days-to-come/9781568589794/?lens=nation-books), the Israeli writer and politician Avraham Burg has come out for a one-state solution entailing federated Jewish and Palestinian political entities, and on Monday night he was hosted by the progressive New York synagogue B’nai Jeshurun (https://www.bj.org) and the New Israel Fund to talk about his ideas.
The most significant element of the evening was how much discomfort the two liberal sponsors had with Burg. Here is a true aristocrat of Israeli society (Burg has religious, Ashkenazi and political pedigree out the yingyang, he was an interim President of Israel) offering the most reasonable answers to Israel’s problems– Palestinians are our equals, there is no such thing as a Jewish democracy– and his hosts needed to distance themselves from him.
