PLO Warns Trump, ‘Don’t Walk Away From 2-State Solution’
Jewish Press ^ | February 15th, 2017 | Hana Levi Julian

A White House official said the US won't impose any "solution" on Israel or the PA: it will support a deal reached together.

Officials in the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority warned U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday not to walk away from the so-called “two-state solution” to their seemingly endless conflict with Israel.

The president meets with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.

The warning came in response to remarks by a senior White House official who said the United States will no longer impose any “solution” to peace on either party, but rather would support whatever deal the two sides reach together.

“A two-state solution that doesn’t bring peace is not our goal that anybody wants to achieve,” the official said at a White House briefing, according to several media sources. “Peace is the goal, whether it comes in the form of a two-state solution if that’s what the parties want or something else, if that’s what the parties want, we’re going to help them.”

Husam Zomlot, strategic affairs adviser to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, said in a phone interview with Reuters in Jerusalem, “The two-state solution is not something we just came up with. It is an international consensus and decision after decades of Israel’s rejection of the one-state democratic formula.”

Hanan Ashrawi, a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization, was quoted as saying, “If the Trump Administration rejects this policy it would be destroying the chances for peace and undermining American interests, standing and credibility abroad,” in response to the U.S. official’s remarks.

“Accommodating the most extreme and irresponsible elements in Israel and in the White House is no way to make responsible foreign policy,” she added in a statement to the A-Sharq Al-Awsat English-language news site.

Why? The PLO have walked away from every possible deal for decades.

You cannot make a deal with people whose fundamental goal is to wipe you off the face of the earth

Peace is the goal...

The Palestinians can have peace in five minutes, any time they want it.

Since 1993 and the stupid Oslo process PLO has never kept its word or done a good deed.

They teach their kids to hate, blow themselves up to kill others, pay hitmen to enter Israel and kill Israelis. And when they die their families get pensions, and streets are named after them.

Europe is now getting a taste of the stabbings, vehicular homocides and out and out terrorism these mutants specialize in dealing out.

Merkel Jerkel, only 20% of Europeans want more Muzzies coming into Europe.

Its nice to see Bibi treated well, and smiling while standing with President Trump.

They’re upset because they’re used to the U.S. tipping the scales in their favor for the past 30 years or so.

Has anyone on this forum spoken with a true Palestinian? It’s virtually impossible, I mean impossible to talk reasonably with them.

They want there land back. No other negotiation.

It’s like you are speaking to a descendent from the Sioux nation, who’s tee pee was confiscated by the Army, and then homesteaders. He want’s his tee pee back. THEN we’ll negotiate.

Forget the past, forget 2000 years ago and all the wars. Forget the terrorists etc.

There is no starting point with them. They will not recognize Israel ever.

So, there’s where you’re at.

And here’s the second thing. There’s supposedly 5 million of them. We give them how much? 200 million a year, a billion? I’ve lost count. Where the hell is that money going?

In short, if they are to shut up, the money stops.

This is total BS. Move the embassy to Jerusalem, and let’s start from there.

How is this any different than the Polish neighborhood in Chicago?
