Abbas to self: No sh!t, Sherlock.

[ColdOne]

Does Trump really think muzzies play nice?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Abbas has always been a liar..he is woven in with Hamas, Hamas controls the Gaza strip and uses the money given to them to make tunnels to kill Jews..the only “Peace” Arabs want is when all Jews are dead..that to them is peace

[wildbill]

This report, if true, shows Trump to be extremely naive and uninformed about recent history between the PA and Israel.

Beyond that, he seems to be surprised that a foreign leader would lie to him. In that, he follows virtuall all our presidens since Regan who held to the simple mantra: Trust but verify.

[Yaelle]

OMG I love this President!!!!!!!

[Born to Conserve]

“A US official present during the meeting claims...”

Who?
Fire them.

[mbrfl]

Don`t assume Trump wasn`t aware that he was being lied to right up front. By letting it play out this way he showed that he entered into negotiations in good faith but was decieved.

Abbas played right into Trump’s hands.

Is not Mamoud Abbas actually Abu Mazen; the man who financed the 1972 terrorist attack on Jewish athletes at the Olympics in Germany?

I love you Pres Trump, but sure he did! That’s why you can’t broker a peace between them and Israel.. You learned that the hard way. You were making deals and fortunes... but this Biblical feud over that land... you need to bone up on who the enemy is and why. Arafat was offered even more than what they said they wanted, by bill clinton... and arafat refused the offer. They don’t want peace.. they don’t even want a piece of Israel’s land.. they want it ALL and they want every Israeli dead.. and then next is America! You dealt with the devil and expected him to be fair... not in any way shape or form.

"Aesop, Fables 521 (from Babrius, Fabulae 57) (trans. Gibbs) (Greek fable C6th B.C.) : "Hermes filled a cart with lies and dishonesty and all sorts of wicked tricks, and he journeyed in this cart throughout the land, going hither and thither from one tribe to another, dispensing to each nation a small portion of his wares. When he reached the land of the Arabs, so the story goes, his cart suddenly broke down along the way and was stuck there. The Arabs seized the contents of the cart as if it were a merchant's valuable cargo, stripping the cart bare and preventing Hermes from continuing on his journey, although there were still some people he had not yet visited. As a result, Arabs are liars and charlatans, as I myself have learned from experience. There is not a word of truth that springs from their lips.""

Twelve hundred years before the birth of mo-ham-mad, Aesop knew the Arabs for what they are. All that "greatest of decievers" did was make an anti-religion to match their culture.

I used to watch thr Zola Levitt Show mainly for the segments where they translated palistinian broadcasts. They were eye opening. Zola has passed away and no one has picked up his torch.

Lying (Taqiyya) is central to islam!!!!

[onedoug]

I’m surprised that President Trump met with the islamist POS at all.

[huldah1776]

The only disconcerting thing is that Trump didn’t know this BEFORE he spoke with abbas.

[mrsmel]

""I heard President Abbas yesterday say that the Palestinians teach their children peace,” said Netanyahu. “Unfortunately, that's not true. They name their schools after mass murderers of Israelis and they pay terrorists,” he said at the opening of a meeting with the Romanian prime minister in Jerusalem."

Wouldn't it be a rather obvious lie that the Palestinians teach their children peace, when anyone can look up the cartoons (targeted at children) which show Jewish people in much the same way as Der Sturmer did, and openly teach Palestinian children their version of Sesame Street-style songs, which extol the glories of being a suicide jihadist for Islam? I mean, they don't sugarcoat it one little bit, don't finesse it or utilise any "nuance", they use the most disgusting hateful language in songs for children. It doesn't take much to discredit this lie, at all, it's right there in their tv programming for children, and anyone in the world with an internet connection can look it up.

[LS]

Oh for Pete’s sake. After six months they STILL don’t get how Trump operates?

He meets with Pales. They make promises. Trump says, “Ok, we’ll delay moving embassy to Jerusalem. The Pales are ‘playing nice.’ (quote)”

Pales lie. Trump then says, “Oh, he lied to me. I’m outraged. Guess we move the embassy to Jerusalem.”

He puts it all on Pales-—the thing he was going to do anyway. But now he has a perfect excuse cuz they aren’t “playing nice.”

[metmom]

And Trump expected anything different?

Good for him for his response.

It’s well past time someone called them up on it and the liars that they are.

[DoodleDawg]

That’s Okay. Jared’s got it covered.
