What Is It About Americans?

The almost perfect tweeted response to a Jerusalem Post article (Reports that Trump considering pulling out of peace efforts 'nonsense,' US official says, 24/6/17) on a recent reportedly "tense" meeting between the US administration's "senior adviser" Jared Kushner and the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas runs as follows:

Wait... you mean sending a 30-something real estate developer to solve mideast peace didn't work? Get outta here... (Joy Read @JoyAnnRead, Jun 24)

I did say almost perfect.

As an American (because she's an American?), the exceptionally witty Joy Read has missed something much more important than the mere fact of Kushner's age and 'profession' - which makes you wonder: What is it about Americans that so many of them can't see the wood for the trees?

All her tweet needed to make it perfect was just the addition of two more words, as follows:

Wait... you mean sending a 30-something card-carrying Zionist real estate developer to solve mideast peace didn't work? Get outta here...

So damn obvious! So why did she leave them out?
