An Offer They Will And Have Refused

To no one's surprise, the Palestinian Authority and other organizations have rejected Trump's peace plan with a thousand nos. The Detroit News: Trump's Mideast plan dismissed by Palestinian advocates in Detroit area

Also to no one's surprise, Rashida Tlaib condemned it right after recently re-tweeting a blood libel about Jews.

More interestingly, Debbie Dingell, inheriting her seat from her husband, also condemned it, which while not completely surprising considering the very large Arab population in her district, it was still interesting to see as her objections showed she was just repeating Pali talking points.

Being a deal that required the Palis to actually uphold their obligations and make concessions, just as the Israelis made some major concessions, it wouldn't work.

Because the peace plan reflected reality and didn't allow the Arabs to realize their rejectionist fantasy to drive the Jews into the sea, it was a non-starter and they rejected out of hand.

In short, Trump just again highlighted that it's not Israel that's the obstacle to peace in the region, but the Palis intransigence and refusal to negotiate in good faith for peace rather than continuing rejecting Israel's existence.

No real surprise. And yes, it does point out who the 'guilty' are...

Hey Aaron;

But it don't matter, the left and the media will blame Israel for all the sins of the middle East. I remember when Israel granted 95% of what Arafat wanted and he still wouldn't buy off on the deal. The Palestinians hate the Israelite's more than they love their kids.

What was significant was Saudi Arabia, Egypt and a few other nations all thought the peace plan was good.

It was only the Palestinians and those who control them that are rejecting the idea.

Funny, huh?

Who exactly is funneling money for the tunnels, for the rockets and mortars, for the paid actors and the paid journalists and paid pr firms? Hmmm???

Old NFO: Yes, and its about time US policy pointed that out.

MrGarabaldi: Very true.

Beans: Could it be a lot of their backing and funding comes from a place that starts with an "I" and ends with the past tense of running?

Obama sending said entity a planeload of cash certainly didn't help matters much.
