They can do no other......they haven’t figured out who they’re ‘really’ raging against.

As if anything was going to come of talks with this pretender.

Abbas is just chagrined that Trump sees him for exactly who and what he is.

Abbas will have to wait for the next moronic Kenyan to come along.

That loser is about to find out what the same sort of tyrannical losers over here in North America have experienced in trying to scrap with the Trump Administration. Gonna be gratifying to see the racket those pali scam artists and their enablers have been running for decades come crashing down.

So we no longer need that consulate in East Jerusalem. Great news!

Close it down and reopen it next week as the US Embassy to Israel.

“Abbas has encouraged a series of “days of rage” in the territories since Trump’s declaration. The Islamist terror group Hamas, which rules Gaza and seeks to destroy Israel, has been demanding a violent new intifada.”

So far, what is it, 12 Palestinians who died raging?

Informative article with lots of detail. I hope it’s accurate, but it’s sometimes difficult to separate propaganda from the facts.

Yep.

If the PA had enough power the Israelis would be swimming in the sea.

The Israelis do have the power but the PA isn’t swimming.

I be okay if the PA was though.

Abbas is said to have told all PA officials that Trump is “a lost cause” and to have ordered the PA to sever all contacts with US diplomatic officials, including those of the US consulate in East Jerusalem responsible for Palestinian affairs.

This is when a shrewd Poker Play with Big Balls, makes a public announcement for All American Citizens and Israeli citizens to vacate the Palestine Area immediately, in 12 Hours the bombing starts.

At first I thought this was like seeing your kid threaten to hold his breath until he's dead. Then I realized it is more like your neighbor's little hellion doing it and you would be thrilled to see the little puke pass out and hit his head.

I don’t think the US and west bank Pals should be talking to each other at all. If they want to talk to us, they can do so through the Israelis or Jordanians. As for us, we have absolutely no reason to talk to them, ever.

This is a regional problem which can be handled by the regional players themselves, Israel, Egypt, Jordan. Involving outsiders only amplifies the problem.

Time for Trump to save a lot more $$$$$$... Goodbye UNRWA

International aid to Palestinians

From Wikipedia

International aid has played a major role in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict as the Palestinians claim it has been used as a means to keep the peace process going, and the Israelis that it is used to fund terrorism.[1]

The Palestinian National Authority in the West Bank and Gaza Strip receives one of the highest levels of aid in the world. A dispute exists as to whether Palestinians or Israelis are the largest per capita beneficiaries of foreign aid.[2]

Aid has been offered to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and other Palestinian Non-governmental organizations (PNGOs) by the international community, including International Non-governmental Organizations (INGOs).

The entities that provide aid to the Palestinians are categorized into seven groups: the Arab nations, the European Union, the United States, Japan, international institutions (including agencies of the UN system), European countries, and other nations.[3]

Outstanding. The counselate, which has been in Jerusalem for over a century, deals with palestinians. The only Counselate independent of an Embassy in the world. I'm not upset that Palestinians can't get visas due to the boycott.
