It doesn't look, feel, sound or smell like the answer to this intractable problem

Jared Kushner's big bid to join the parade, extending back decades and decades, of self-styled visionaries who have claimed to have the key to peace between Israel and the Israel-hating Palestinians in Samaria, Judea and Gaza was announced by the White House yesterday and will be presented at a conference in Bahrain next week.

It basically stems from the same mentality that drives Kushner's father-in-law's approach to Iran and North Korea: the assumption that radical regimes with entirely different sets of aims from those the United States and, indeed, worldviews utterly foreign to those of any other nation, let alone Western nations, can be appealed to with the prospect of robust economies and opportunities for their peoples.

It includes some real humdingers, such as "travel corridor for Palestinian use that would cross Israel to link the West Bank and Gaza." Yes, indeed, that's the ticket. Give Fatah, Hamas and Hezbollah an exquisite opportunity to ratchet its suicide bombings and transportation of arms to unprecedented levels.

I thought this analogy was quite rich:

Kushner sees his economic approach as resembling the Marshall Plan, which Washington introduced in 1948 to rebuild Western Europe from the devastation of World War Two.

Here's the difference, Jared: The Marshall Plan's purpose was to rebuild nations that had been aggressed upon with cataclysmic warfare. The reason that Judea, Samaria and Gaza are in disrepair is the neglect of their peoples' infrastructure needs by Fatah and Hamas. They spent the money on instruments of cataclysmic warfare for the purpose of aggressing upon Israel, along with high living for their leaders.

Some folks recognize that there's a cart-before-the-horse feature to Jareds plan:

Palestinian officials reject the overall U.S.-led peace effort as heavily tilted in favor of Israel and likely to deny them a fully sovereign state of their own.
Kushner’s attempt to decide economic priorities first while initially sidestepping politics ignores the realities of the conflict, say many experts.

“This is completely out of sequence because the Israeli-Palestinian issue is primarily driven by historical wounds and overlapping claims to land and sacred space,” said Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East negotiator for Republican and Democratic administrations. 

A few Palestinian businessmen will be at the Bahrain meeting, but political leaders are staying away.  They're miffed about the Trump administration moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

And I have a question: Will one cent of my taxes be going to this "global investment fund," or does Jared envision an entirely private-sector arrangement?

I guess this gives Jared something to do, but it has all the markings of a non-starter.
