Two questions:

1. I assume that the $50 billion in aid to the Palestinians will come from the U.S. taxpayer. Am I wrong?

2. Why in the world would the Palestinians accept permanent foreign outposts (the Israeli settlements) in the middle of their land? No patriot anywhere would accept such a thing.

Side point: I am not saying that Israel should abandon those settlements. I’m just being the devil’s advocate here, trying to see things from the Palestinian point of view.

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.

“their land”. By what authority has the land been unequivocally been assigned to the Palestinians? By right of conquest, no? China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea are being adjudicated by force and it is a fair accompli. Trump’s proposal simply acknowledges the same reality that occurred 72 years ago. The Jews will not, should not and won’t give ground to people openly trying to destroy them.

3. Palestinians (surrounded by nuclear power Israel) agree to disarm.

4. Travel from the West Bank to Gaza will be via an underground tunnel.

Not sure what 25 books that Jared Kushner read that makes him an expert. I would rather he and his wife go incognito to Gaza, live there 9 months, then go live incognito in the West Bank for 3 months.
