TRUMP TWEETS HE IS "HONORED" TO HOST ARCH-TERRORIST AND HOLOCAUST DENIER MAHMOUD ABBAS, AKA Abu Mazen - Then, too late, he deletes his tweet

  • Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority chief, was the financial mastermind of the Munich Olympics torture, rape and sexual mutilation and massacre of Israeli athletes. 
  • He is currently chief inciter to terror against Jews, while paying generous salaries to terrorists who kill Jews. 
  • His media, particularly TV children programs, are full of genocidal content against Jews.  Palestinian children are being officially indoctrinated from infancy to the and kill Jews.
  • Donald Trump has already broken several promises made during his campaign, among them to move the US embassy to Israel's capital, Jerusalem.
  • Trump has expressed his support for the partition of Israel through the Two States Final Solution. 
  • Partitioning tiny Israel to create a terror state is not a solution but a certain formula for the destruction of Israel.
  • The best thing Trump should do is to stop funding terrorists, starting with Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinians, and to leave Arabs and Jews alone to find their own way of coexistence.  
  • What happened to candidate Trump's promise to stop meddling on other countries border issues and to concentrate on US border security instead?

Caroline Glick:  Trump's Tragic Mistake
 
Key Points:
  • Abbas’s PLO and his Palestinian Authority engage as a general practice in glorifying terrorist murderers.
  • As has been widely reported in recent weeks, his PA and PLO also incentivize and underwrite terrorism to the tune of $300 million a year, which is paid, in accordance with PA law, to convicted terrorists sitting in Israeli prisons and their families.
  • The Palestinian media and school system which he controls with an iron fist both regularly portray Jews as evil monsters, deserving of physical annihilation. 
  • There are three problems with this goal. First, the peace process between Israel and the PLO is predicated on the notion that the US must pressure Israel to make massive concessions to the PLO.
  • So simply by engaging in a negotiating process with the PLO, Trump has adopted an antagonistic position toward Israel.
  • The second problem is that Abbas himself has proven, repeatedly, that he will never support a peace deal with Israel. Abbas opposed Israel’s peace offer at Camp David in 2000.
  • Abbas rejected then-prime minister Ehud Olmert’s peace offer in 2008.
  • Abbas rejected then-president Barack Obama’s peace offer in 2013. Since then, Abbas made no sign of moderating his position.
  • The third problem with Trump’s decision to engage in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians is that any hypothetical deal a hypothetical Palestinian leader would accept, would endanger Israel’s very existence. So in the unlikely event that he reaches “the deal,” his achievement will imperil Israel, rather than protect it.

PALESTINIAN OFFICIAL ASSURES ARABS THAT ABBAS CONDEMNATION OF THE MASSACRE OF JEWS WAS A SCAM and that everyone supports killing rabbis

By forcing Abbas to lie and issue a fake condemnation of the slaughter of Jewish rabbis in Jerusalem, the United States government continues to be an active participant in a major land swindle aimed at depriving Jews of their ancient biblical heartland for the creation of a Muslim terror state.
 
That is not all.  The US government is fully aware that returning Israel to the 1967 indefensible borders (only 9 miles wide and with the country split in two to give Arabs a land corridor between Ramallah and Gaza) would result in the destruction of Israel.
 
That is the US and EU governments endgame: 
the destruction of Israel through partition. 

And to them all means
- including forcing Abbas to lie - 
 justify this end.

SATIRE - US STATE DEPARTMENT TO REPLACE SPOKESPERSON WITH HITLER'S MEIN KAMPF - Cheaper and it conveys similar message regarding Jews

SATIRE by PreOccupied Territory
 
Mein_Kampf_dust_jacket
Washington, DC, November 14 – State Department officials informed reporters this morning that as of next week they will replace their current spokesperson with a copy of Adolph Hitler’s political manifesto, noting that the work would communicate antipathy to Jews and the Jewish nation just effectively as Jen Psaki, but at a fraction of the cost.
 
Psaki has served as spokeswoman for the Department of State since February of last year, after multiple stints as communications director or press secretary for various Democratic Party campaigns and government offices, including the White House.
 
Keeping on a person of such experience necessitates tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars a year in salary and benefits. While Psaki has exhibited skill at broadcasting moral confusion and a warped ethical calculus that places Israeli victims of terrorism and the perpetrators of that terrorism on an equal moral plane, Secretary of State John Kerry and his immediate advisers concluded that such equivocations were unacceptable half-measures.
 
Obama State Department: “Palestinians” who throw molotov cocktails at Israelis are not terrorists
Psaki: "Arabs who throw firebombs at Jews are NOT terrorists"
Conseqently, Psaki will be replaced next week with a new, annotated edition of Hitler’s Mein Kampf - “My Struggle” in German – that Hitler wrote while imprisoned after a failed 1925 coup attempt in Munich.
 
Part memoir, part political philosophy, Mein Kampf lays out the future German Fuhrer’s poisonous attitude toward Jews that would form a foundation of Nazi ideology and the basis for the Holocaust fifteen years later.
 
Kirschen, Dry Bones cartoon,isis, isil, is, terror, terrorism, islamic state, islam, islamism, islamist, Palestine, Palestinian, U.S. Administration, America,  
The appointment of Hitler’s screed removes one of the major shortcomings of the State Department spokeswoman, namely that she strove, often awkwardly, to project the Obama administration’s pursuit of even-handedness in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, even at the expense of credibility and moral clarity.
 
Psaki’s efforts resulted in the bizarre and disturbing equation of Israeli civilians murdered with the deaths of their murderers at the hands of security forces at the scene as “equally tragic.” 

Mein Kampf suffers from none of that mealy-mouthed rhetoric, unambiguously siding with the enemies of the Jews.
 
The shift toward open antagonism to Israel and Jews in the Obama administration has long been palpable, but this is the first instance of its extent.

An earlier inquiry investigated the possibility of replacing Vice President Joe Biden with seventeenth-century Cossack leader Bohdan Chmielnicki, but foundered on basic constitutional issues.

Psaki is expected to accept a position as spokeswoman for the lobbying organization J Street. (J Street is a pseudo pro-Jewish' organization that advocates for policies detrimental to Israel.)

America's Nazi Secret - with author John J. Loftus
 
 

Interview published on Jul 7, 2012
Fully revised and expanded, America's Nazi Secret by John J. Loftus reveals how the U.S. government permitted the illegal entry of Nazis into North America in the years following World War II.
 
This extraordinary investigation exposes the secret section of the State Department that began, starting in 1948 and unbeknownst to Congress and the public until recently, to hire members of the puppet wartime government of Byelorussia—a region of the Soviet Union occupied by Nazi Germany.
 
The author, a former Justice Department investigator, uncovered this stunning story in the files of several government agencies. The revised and expanded version includes a chapter previously banned from release by authorities and a foreword and afterword with recently declassified materials.

America's Nazi Secret is an insider's history of how the United States Department of Justice obstructed Congress by:

Blocking congressional investigations into famous American families who funded Hitler, Stalin and Arab terrorists.


Lying to Congress, the GAO, and the CIA about the postwar immigration of Eastern European Nazi war criminals to the US.

Concealing from the 9/11 investigators the role of the Arab Nazi war criminals in recruiting modern Middle Eastern terrorist groups.

Author John Loftus is a former U.S. government prosecutor, a former Army intelligence officer, and the author of numerous books. He has appeared regularly as a media commentator on ABC National Radio and Fox News. He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida.

OBSCENE AND OFFENSIVE: US SOLICITOR GENERAL SAYS ISRAEL HAS NO CLAIM TO JERUSALEM - White House wants Israel to surrender Jerusalem to the descendants of the Muslim conquerors and occupiers - Read history outline and whether Islam has any legitimate claim to the city

JERUSALEM
  • US Supreme Court is to decide whether an American Jew born in Jerusalem can list Jerusalem, Israel as his place of birth on his US passport.
  • If Jews don't have a right to Jerusalem in spite of their thousands-of-years-old connection to that city, why would descendants from Muslim invaders from the Saudi peninsula have more rights to it?
  • Lawyers for the Obama administration compared Israel's ownership of Jerusalem to the Russian takeover of Crimea - in spite of the 3700 years of continuous Jewish relationship with Jerusalem.
  • In other words, the White House is legitimizing the invasion and occupation by Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Turks - and delegitimizing the true owner of the land all along: the Jews.
  • Thus we have a the absurdity of a government ruling a country with only a few hundred years of history, built on native land, telling the Jews that they don't have the right to their ancient capital, Jerusalem.
  • In a rather bizarre turn Judge Sotomayor appeared to argue that president Obama's belief that Jerusalem does not belong to Israel supersedes the central argument of whether Jerusalem is Israeli or not.  She said putting Israel as country of birth would imply the president was lying, since he does not believe it.
  • The irony:  The current US administration has countered that allowing to put Jerusalem, Israel as place of birth on passports, would harm President Obama’s “credibility” in global affairs - naively implying that there is still any credibility left to protect, after the abysmal failure to protect minorities being ethnically cleansed all over the Mideast. and the increasing mistrust of the US in that part of the world.

The Zivotofsky family
U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, who is rumored to be in the running to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder, drew the comparison on Monday while he attempted to convince the Supreme Court that Jerusalem is not officially part of Israel.
 
The controversial case hinges around Menachem Zivotofsky, who was born in Jerusalem in 2002.
 
Zivotofsky’s parents requested that Menachem’s U.S. passport bear “Jerusalem, Israel” as his place of birth, a request that was denied by the Obama administration on the basis of its longstanding policy to not recognize the holy city as part of Israel.
 
The Zivotofsky family sued following the decision and the case has been stuck in judicial limbo since. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and initial arguments by both sides were presented this week.

    WHO OR WHAT IS BEHIND DISTURBING PETITION FOR THE PARTITION OF ISRAEL? - At a time when Sinai and Gaza, given up by Israel "for peace," are riddled with jihadi violence threatening Israel, Egypt and the whole region - The US government's detrimental influence on Israeli policies and fate

    Two news items flashed before readers of Mideast news this morning.  And in an ominous way, they are both connected. 
     
    One is the 100-signature petition by former members of the Israeli intelligence and security establishment asking for the partition of Israel.  They don't use that word, naturally, but as good State Department students they use the coded words "peace process" - which basically demand Israel's return to its indefensible 1967 borders.

    The other news item is about how ISIS and other extreme jihadi factions are already well established and cooperating in Sinai and Gaza -  two of the territories that Israel gave up "for peace" -   seriously threatening the security of both Israel and Egypt.
     
    ITEM ONE
    Times of Israel - Over one hundred high ranking security officials issued a letter to PM Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to work towards relaunching negotiations with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, with the intent of reaching a viable, two state solution.  In the letter, which is being published as an advertisement in several Israeli newspapers, the officials further contend that Israel has the ability to reach a comprehensive peace agreement not only with the Palestinians, but with a number of key nations throughout the Middle East as well.

    US Sec of State J. Kerry
    WHAT or WHO motivated these well-informed individuals to put their names on a letter asking for Israel's suicide? 

    They know perfectly well that the Arabs don't just want a Palestinian state, but the elimination of the state of Israel.   That has been made clear by top Arab leaders. 

    Partition is only a phase in the dismantling of Israel.  You can't expect peace by making Israel only 9 miles wide and divided in two to give Palestinians a land corridor between Ramallah and Gaza.

    We can only speculate who is behind this petition, but State Department tentacles have burrowed very deep inside the Israeli political and intellectual establishment for decades, and this letter may prove how effective they are. 

    ITEM TWO
    jihadist al-Qaida fighters
    Jerusalem Post - Islamists in the Sinai Peninsula have formed ties with ISIS and, closer to home, with Hamas and Salafist groups in the Gaza Strip. 

    These are not the PR-promoted "militants" and "freedom fighters" that the State Department and the media usually refers to, when speaking about Muslims battling Israel. 

    It is impossible to whitewash the hard-core nature of these fighters.  Unlike Fatah in the Palestinian Authority, they have no American PR agencies and US and EU humanitarian to portray them as "victims" of Israeli oppression.

     
    So what's the obvious lesson from the fate of two territories over which Israel has no longer any control?   Chaos and extreme violence.  "Militants" killed 30 Egyptian soldiers just the other day in Sinai.

    US SECRETARY KERRY:   ISRAEL TO BLAME FOR ISIS AND MUSLIM EXTREMISTS
     
    And although the US Secretary of State blames Israel  for the surge in ISIS and the bloody mayhem in the Middle East, the post-Arab Spring era has shown that violence is at the center of Muslim ideology - and that the only thing that has ever kept Shia and Sunni from killing each other, and fundamentalists and seculars from doing the same, has been the strong and ruthless rule of tyrants.   
     
    Western-style democracy and secularism are anathema to true Islam.  A real Muslim cannot accept being ruled by anything except Sharia law.  And Sunni and Shia factions will hate and kill each other for eternity.  Their conflict is unresolvable.  It has nothing to do with Israel. 

    The world's obsessive fixation with Israel has no other agenda than its destruction - through incessant bullying, demonization, partition and weakening.
     
    That's reality. 

    THE DECADES-LONG US WAR ON ISRAEL'S SURVIVAL

    SENATOR TED CRUZ BLASTS WHITE HOUSE INSULTING COMMENT ABOUT ISRAEL'S PM NETANYAHU and for US hostile policies against Israel

    Senator Ted Cruz
    In an article written for Time magazine, Texas Senator Ted Cruz blasted the Obama administration for its vitriolic hostility for the state of Israel, calling on Democrats to demand that the administration member who called Israeli  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “chickensh*t” and “a coward” be fired. 
     
    PM Netanyahu & Pres. Obama
    Cruz blistered the Obama administration for betraying Israel by stating that it was now “too late” for Israel to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.
     
    Cruz also excoriated the administration for indifference to the statements it makes, noting White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed such things happen almost every day. 
     
    Cruz’s statement reads:
    This week, the world was treated to yet another embarrassing display of the Obama administration’s incompetent foreign policy.   
    According to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, various anonymous officials referred to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as both "a chicken****” and “a coward.”  
    While these indefensible comments have received the lion’s share of media attention, the substantive remarks about Iran were even more troubling. Goldberg wrote that another senior official claimed that due to their pressure on Netanyahu, it is now “too late” for Israel to stop Iran from amassing an “atomic arsenal.” 
    White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told the White House press corps on Tuesday that the President likely does not know who did this, and there is no effort underway to find out.  
    Other officials have signaled that these persons may be disciplined in ways that are [sic] have not been disclosed. But, regardless, they will continue to serve at the pleasure of the President because, as Earnest said, such things happen almost every day in this administration. In other words, this is no big deal.  
    With all due respect, this is a very big deal. This is an unprecedented attack on a critical ally of the United States at a moment of international crisis. It is a de facto admission to the mullahs in Tehran that the Obama administration thinks it is too late to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons. It is an inexcusable betrayal of the national security of the American people.  
    Do the Democrats agree with what Obama administration officials are saying about Israel and its leaders? Do they also concede that a nuclear Iran is inevitable? If not, will they call on the President to identify and fire the persons making these assertions? These questions should be asked—and answered—before Americans head to the polls next Tuesday.  
    It is my hope that Congress can unite to reverse this administration’s approach by defending our allies and standing up to hostile actors in the world. When the White House acts recklessly, Congress should swiftly act to defend our nation.  
    We will not be able to do so if the Senate is led by Harry Reid acting as a rubber stamp for President Obama. Either the Democrats should denounce the Obama [a]dministration’s dangerous policies or the voters should send them home in November. 
    As disgraceful as these comments were, at least they bring crystal clarity to the choice we face as a nation on November 4th. Choose wisely.

    THE US STATE DEPARTMENT ENDORSES APARTHEID - AGAINST ISRAELI JEWS

    State Department's tacit message to Israel: 
    Jews, how do you dare build and live outside your ghetto!
     
    Note:  The following article was written a couple of days before a top White House official anonymously called the Israeli PM a coward and chickensh*t. 
     
    Why does the State Department endorse
     the Palestinian fight to exclude Jews?
     

    October 27, 2014
    
    Ancient Jerusalem - Israel's capital - Kotel at sunrise
    Muslims arrived as conquerors and occupiers - The State Dept. sides with them.
    Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made headlines around the world again with his assertion in the Knesset that he will defend the right of Jews to live in any part of his country’s capital.
     
    The statement and the expedited plans to build 1,000 new apartments in Jerusalem is drawing the usual condemnations from the international community as both an unnecessary provocation and a new obstacle to Middle East peace.
     
    But what Israel’s critics are missing is that the threats and actual violence coming from Palestinians about Jewish homes, is the best indicator that the sort of mutual coexistence that is essential to peace is currently not in the cards.

    TOP WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL WHO CALLED THE ISRAELI PM A COWARD AND CHICKEN MANURE won't identify himself or apologize. WH official only says statement was "inappropriate" - ONE REASON behind the White House hostility towards Israel and PM Netanyahu

    Who created the White House - Israel crisis?  Not Israel.

    By  @tobincommentary

    Since Barack Obama became president, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg has been a reliable indicator of administration opinion about foreign-policy issues. Like some other journalists who can be counted on to support the president, he has been the recipient of some juicy leaks, especially when the White House wants to trash Israel’s government.
     
    But Goldberg and his “senior administration sources” reached a new low today when he published a piece in which those anonymous figures labeled Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu a “chickenshit” and a “coward.”
     
    The remarks are clearly not so much a warning to the Israelis to stop complaining about the U.S. push for appeasement of a nuclear Iran and the administration’s clueless approach to the conflict with the Palestinians. Rather the story is, as Goldberg rightly characterizes it, a genuine crisis in the relationship.
     
    That much is plain but where Goldberg and the talkative administration members are wrong is their belief that this is all Netanyahu’s fault.
     
    Their attacks on him are not only plainly false but are motivated by a desire to find an excuse that will be used to justify a drastic turn in U.S. foreign policy against Israel.

     
    A message of utter contempt and hostility in one symbolic gesture?
     
    2009 Official White House photo of President Obama speaking on the phone with PM Netanyahu.  Observe how he displays the sole of his shoes.  Showing the sole of one's shoes to someone is considered a major insult in the Middle East.  This may have been a coded signal to Arab countries about the president's feelings towards the man he was speaking with, which Middle Eastern Israel certainly noticed as well.   http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/131837#.VFI2jJstCM8
     
    The administration critique of Netanyahu as a coward stems from its disgust with his failure to make peace with the Palestinians as well as their impatience with his criticisms of their zeal for a deal with Iran even if it means allowing the Islamist regime to become a threshold nuclear power. But this is about more than policy.

    The prickly Netanyahu is well known to be a tough guy to like personally even if you are one of his allies. But President Obama and his foreign-policy team aren’t just annoyed by the prime minister.
     
    They’ve come to view him as public enemy No. 1, using language about him and giving assessments of his policies that are far harsher than they have ever used against even avowed enemies of the United States, let alone one of its closest allies.

    A Border Patrol officer serving in eastern Jerusalem has for the first time revealed the police helplessness in dealing with the "silent intifada".  
     
    Arab violence has been gripping the capital in recent months, as Arab rock, firebomb and even gunfire attacks rise sharply.
     
    Speaking on Channel 2's "Shesh Im" TV program Thursday, a day after a Hamas terrorist wounded nine with his car including a three-month-old baby who was killed in the attack, the officer admitted the Border Patrol warriors are forced to "stand like dolls" against the Arab terror.
     
    "We feel like our hands are tied," the combat officer revealed, placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of Interior Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich for the collapse in security.  According to the officer, senior captains as well as Aharonovich are trying to calm things down and hush up the "silent intifada" rather than fight Arab terror to the end.

    CONTRARY TO GENERAL OPINION, PRESIDENT OBAMA IS AN EXTREMELY COMPETENT MANAGER - Just ask the Israelis



    Obama, the Virtuoso Manager

    By Caroline Glick
    Writer and newspaper editor 

    Since he assumed office nearly six years ago, US President Barack Obama has been dogged by allegations of managerial incompetence. Obama, his critics allege, had no managerial experience before he was elected. His lack of such experience, they claim, is reflected in what they see as his incompetent handling of the challenges of the presidency.
     
    In everything from dealing with the Congress, to reining in radical ideologues at the IRS, to handling the chaos at the Mexican border, to putting together coordinated strategies for dealing with everything from Ebola to Islamic State (IS), Obama’s critics claim that he is out of his league. That he is incompetent.
     
    But if Israel’s experience with him is any guide, then his critics are the ones who are out to sea. Because at least in his handling of US relations with the Jewish state, Obama has exhibited a mastery of the tools of the executive branch unmatched by most of his predecessors.  Consider two stories reported in last Friday’s papers.
     
    White House blocked FBI search for missing Israeli soldier 
    
    Missing IDF soldier Oron Shaul, presumed dead in Gaza (screen capture: Channel 10)
    ORON SHAUL
    First, in an article published in The Jerusalem Post, terrorism analyst and investigative reporter Steven Emerson revealed how the highest echelons of the administration blocked the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office from assisting Israel in finding the remains of IDF soldier Oron Shaul.
     
    Shaul was one of seven soldiers from the Golani Infantry Brigade killed July 20 when Hamas terrorists fired a rocket at their armored personnel carrier in Gaza's Shejeia neighborhood.  As Emerson related, after stealing his remains, Hamas terrorists hacked into Shaul’s Facebook page and posted announcements that he was being held by Hamas.
     
    Among other things it did to locate Shaul and ascertain whether or not he was still alive, the IDF formally requested that the FBI intervene with Facebook to get the IP address of the persons who posted on Oron’s page. If such information was acquired quickly, the IDF might be able to locate Oron, or at least find people with knowledge of his whereabouts.
     
    Acting in accordance with standing practice, recognizing that time was of the essence, the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office began working on Israel’s request immediately. But just before the US Attorney secured a court order to Facebook requiring it to hand over the records, the FBI was told to end its efforts.

    THE WHITE HOUSE BLOCKED ALL ARMS SHIPMENTS TO ISRAEL during the war - but sold $11 BILLION in weapons to QATAR, which arms HAMAS - thus the White House is indirectly arming Palestinian terrorists that kill Jews.

    Another chapter in the bizarre and erratic US Middle East policy of supporting jihadists and betraying allies. 

    The Obama administration stopped shipping to Israel all defense items – and not just Hellfire missiles as previously reported – for a short time in the middle of the war against Hamas, reported Israel Defense’s Amir Rappaport, the well-informed and highly credibly editor of the website.

    Makor Rishon added to that report that the US actually cut off all communications with Israel’s Ministry of Defense purchasing offices in the US for days.

    The Defense Ministry, now realizing it cannot always depend on the Obama administration in a time of crisis, already has decided under a “veil of secrecy,” according to Israel Defense, to manufacture a highly sensitive weapon in Israel instead of buying it from the United States.

    The change in policy is a major step that would wean Israel away from dependence on the United States and which also would be a significant change in the policy of buying American-made weapons with most financial assistance from the United States.

    American aid to countries, including Israel, usually is conditioned on a majority of the money being poured back into the American military-industrial complex.

    THE TWO STATE SOLUTION - FROM THE SAME FOLKS WHO BROUGHT YOU Benghazi, Arab Spring, Iraq and Afghanistan fiasco, incompetence to deal with one case of Ebola, Obamacare, and much more

    The Two-State (Final) Solution
     
    By Martin Sherman
    founder & and exec. director of the
    Israel Institute for Strategic Studies
     

    The entire issue of Palestinian statehood, and the Palestinian narrative on which it is based, are nothing but a giant hoax so transparent it is inconceivable that anyone even feigns credence to it.
     

    With the two-state solution… Israel will collapse.
     
    Because if they get out of Jerusalem, what will become of all the talk about the Promised Land and the chosen people?
     
    What will become of all the sacrifices they made – just to be told to leave? They consider Jerusalem to have a spiritual status.
     
    The Jews consider Judea and Samaria (West Bank) to be their historic dream.
     
    If the Jews leave those places, the Zionist idea will begin to collapse…. Then we will move forward.”

     
     – Abbas Zaki, senior PLO official. (ANB TV, Lebanon, May 7, 2009) 

     
    TSSTwo recent events have once again propelled Palestinian statehood into the forefront of media spotlight, after several months of it being overshadowed by other events like developments in Ukraine, the war in Gaza and the televised barbarity of Islamic State.
     
    One was the statement by Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven (subsequently somewhat equivocally revised) that his country would recognize a Palestinian state. The other was the British Parliament’s (nonbinding, but in the eyes of some, historic) vote on recognition of statehood for the Palestinians.
     
    In light of these incidents, I was invited to appear on i24news news and participate in a discussion with a Palestinian interlocutor on the prospects for, and the prudence of, establishing a Palestinian state.
     
    Much of what follows reflects the things I said during that 20-minute debate – and the things I didn’t, but would have, had time permitted.
     
     Patently incompatible
     
    I began by asserting that it should be obvious to anyone with an iota of intellectual integrity that establishing a Palestinian state, in any conceivable configuration, is incompatible with the security and survival of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.
     
    It is incomprehensible for anyone who holds this view of Israel’s role in the world not to strive to have the issue of Palestinian statehood removed from the international discourse.
     
    After all, the recent round of fighting in Gaza should have brought home dramatically the perils involved in a Palestinian entity with a short 50-km. border, abutting the sparsely populated, mainly rural South.
     
    Thus, little imagination is required to grasp the horrific implications for Israel entailed in the establishment of yet another Palestinian entity in Judea-Samaria (a.k.a.“West Bank”), but now with a 500-km. border, abutting the heavily populated urban center of the country – with Ben-Gurion, Israel’s only international airport, easily within mortar range.

    AMERICANS JUST GAVE EVERY GAZAN $200 - THEIR REWARD FOR TERROR THAT KILLS JEWS

    By Daniel Greenfield

    It’s a sizable bump from the already sizable amount of assistance that the Palestinian Arabs have been getting from the rest of the world.

    The current pledges add up to around $5 billion. That comes out to something like $2,700 for every Gazan. That’s not bad considering that it’s around half the local yearly salary.

    Over $200 million of that money is coming from the United States with another $200 million in “humanitarian” aid. Or to put it another way, Americans just gave every Gazan 200 dollars.

    Of course that’s a fraction of the various trails of foreign aid that flow from the US to the West Bank and Gaza.

    We went from $75 million a year under Clinton to $360 million under Bush to $900 million in Obama’s first year. And that’s an incomplete accounting because it doesn’t take into account every loophole for funneling more money to terrorists.

    Good thing we have so much money ourselves that we can dump a whole lot of it on Hamas terrorists.
