There is certainly unrest, but it's organized unrest, called-for by Palestinian leaders. Then what? We're not yet seeing a general uprising, the "Middle East in flames", spontaneously or otherwise.

Part of my point here is that we might being a bit patronizing to assume that Arab populations are prone to turning into mobs; to be playing, surely unconsciously, into stereotypes of them as "undisciplined" or less-civilized than us.

I still have hope that my thesis stands, that people who are as capable of watching Trump up close as we are, might not be so easily manipulated. They know what we know: It's America's Christian zealots trolling them through Trump paying off a political debt with a symbolic slap in the face. But can America be prodded to go much further than that? Smart people would just bide their time and watch.
