New day, new nightmare.
I guess the goal is to give Spankee the wartime presidency he wants.
Makes me wanna vomit.
The Fuhrer is trying to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the world?
crusade against Palestine
That pretty much says it.
starve them to the negotiating table. Peace - it’s so easy!
Shocking, repellant, probably unlawful under international law.
They cut funds that pay for hospital care for Palestinians. You have to question how much we’re likely to be seen as an honest broker. More like evangelical pandering and maximum cruelty to the brown-skinned is the consistent theme here.
I’m guessing someone told Donald to do this, that he had no idea they even had an office, anything much about it or what this will do.
Would that someone be Jared?
If so, like @lastroth, my first guess would be Jared.
Well gosh…THAT sounds like open and direct communication. ‘You do it OUR way or OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!’
I’m going to ask the simple question of where would Trump and Kushner like the Palestinians to go? They were kicked off their land not by their own government but by a colonial government. Where does “blood in the soil” argument come into play here? Why hasn’t Kushner had to show his work progress on the Middle East Peace Plan, hell what is their plan?
I have no feel for what Jared believes toward that area. He could be a deep believer in promoting Israel or not really give a shit and just doing it to pull in support from folks that do. I lean toward the second because I think everyone around Donald only has faith in putting more money in their own pocket regardless of how or who it fucks over.
“Playing with the Queen of Hearts
Knowing it ain’t really smart
The Joker ain’t the only fool
Who’ll do anything for you”
I get the feeling that Jared is using the same tactics that Kushner Company uses to get rent controlled apartment tenets out.
The lunatics are running the asylum.
The United States will always stand with our … ally, Israel.
Just as Israel has always stood by us, fighting shoulder to shoulder with U.S. troops… hmmm, no… allowing the U.S. to maintain bases on its territory… hmmm, no… allowing U.S. warplanes to overfly its territory… hmmm, no… freely sharing intelligence with the U.S… hmmm, no… providing vital raw materials and finished products to the U.S… hmmm, no…
Please define “ally.”
An unnecessarily inflammatory move by a stupid President.
I don’t think that’s a question anymore, at least not under a Republican administration. I could easily rewrite the key sentence from the article as:
The Trump administration will not keep the office open when the Israelis refuse to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with the Palestinians.
It would be just as accurate, if not more so. Nothing can be done on this until Netanyahu is no longer in power.
Well, so much with trying to be a fair arbiter of peace in the Middle East.
Our government has become an international disgrace.
