The Palestinian play book has always been, “we won’t even talk to you until you give us what we want.” It’s a negotiating position that relies on liberal parties in your back yard putting pressure on you so that you agree with them. They really have nothing to negotiate with. They can’t offer peace, or, at least meaningful peace. They can lie all they want. Their stand has been, you give us what we want and then we demand even more. By the way, we’ll keep attacking you, killing your children, and rewarding martyrs. That’s all nonnegotiable.
I think our approach should be, you stop training and rewarding martyrs or we stop giving you money. Further, we’ll help the Israelis blockade money and supplies until you comply. If a missile leaves your territory, the Israelis get to fire back until they run out of ammo. The only thing they will understand and react to is force; overwhelming force. To have peace they have to lose. They have to acknowledge they have lost. They have to ask for peace and change their murderous culture. Oh, and virtually everybody in office now needs to be gone. No more martyr money. Period.
President Trump delivered that very message earlier this year with his speech to the hundred Saudi princes.
I believe it’s been heard and they are now acting on it.
The move of the embassy had to wait until action by the Saudis.
Diplomats complain that Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. The answer is that they've already had their last opportunity. Their inability to see reality must be made an existential threat...to THEMSELVES!
the only recognized borders happen to be those of the 1947 UN resolution 181.
facts on the ground havent changed that and arent going to.
