Palestinians Should Give Trump Peace Plan a Chance

President Donald Trump's brilliant plan for Mideast peace has triggered a sandstorm of negativity and deflection from the regular naysayers who attack anything the president says and does.

Critics of his recently unveiled peace aimed at resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should instead scrutinize the document and recognize its merits.

This peace plan was carefully crafted over multiple years under the leadership of Jared Kushner, relying heavily on expert economic analysis, intelligence data and security assessments. Kushner deserves credit for preparing this thorough blueprint for peace between two peoples who have been at war for far too long.

Actually, one of the most interesting and revealing reactions to the peace plan has been the response of the political parties within Israel, who have a history of staunch disagreement on nearly every issue.

However, Israelis across the highly divided political spectrum have expressed firm support for Trump's plan, an almost unprecedented feat. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the plan, as did his political centrist rival Benny Gantz, leader of the Blue and White party.

The simple reason for this resounding consensus is that Trump's plan makes sense. The plan is responsible, fair and measured. If both the Israelis and Palestinians were to accept the conditions outlined in this plan, it would be a win-win situation.

Under this new two-state peace plan, a viable sovereign state for the Palestinians would be created, which is exactly what they say they have been longing for. The Palestinians would gain open access between the West Bank and Gaza, have prisoners returned and be granted a whopping $50 billion in financial aid. Palestinians would also be compensated for lost West Bank territories with the gifting of areas close to the Egyptian border.

In the weeks ahead, look for apologists of Palestinian terrorism to show their true colors by rejecting this plan as a basis for renewed negotiations and instead continue their tired tactic of slandering Israel with blood libels, false accusations and an endless stream of venom.

Case in point, see the latest anti-Israel hatred shared by U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. After retweeting an accusation that Israelis murdered a Palestinian child and threw his body down a well, this lie was completely debunked when it was confirmed that the child drowned accidentally as a result of flooding. Rather than apologize, Tlaib issued a statement that she would "strive to hold myself to the highest standards for what I share."

The American people deserve better from their representatives in Congress. And the Palestinian people deserve leaders who will finally forego their commitment to attacking Israel in favor of the route so clearly laid out for them in the Trump administration's peace plan.

(I also pinged you to that other thread.):)

The Word of God is the authority on Israel’s land. Not fallen men. Scooping out and distributing portions of it to those who have no claim to it is not a real estate deal any wise person should be involved in. Israel is God’s country. Every egotistical ‘peace plan’ from every administration that has ever attempted this is full of a level of arrogance without precedent. God is not mocked. (Look up “12 Shocking Proofs That Disaster Strikes America When It Mistreats Israel” for evidence of this.)

Zechariah 12:3

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

2 Kings 21:4

And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

Numbers 23:19

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

They should have.

But they rejected it.

Remember back when Trump was running he said he would give both sides a chance to make their case? Some people were running around like their hair was on fire screaming that meant he was going to side with mohammedans.

Trump meant exactly what he said. He gave them a chance to make their case. They have chosen.... poorly.

hey are on the land their great-grandfathers owned.

Yeah... no.

They are on land their great-grandfathers rented, that land was then sold or abandon.

Most of their ancestors were not land owners in any way shape or form. Most of the land was owned by absentee landlords who were more then happy to sell when those silly Jews came along and offered to buy that worthless sandbox starting in the late 1800s.

"Side point: Even if those settlements were evacuated, there would not be peace. The Palestinians want it all, all of Jerusalem and all of Israel."

Yup. There ya go.
