Arafat duped Clinton. Will Abbas dupe Trump?

Clinton was more worried about his next lip-service appointment.

Trump is more worried about getting Abbas to recognize Israel or suffer those consequences.

[hal ogen]

I am sure this vermin will attempt to dupe President Trump.

[bk1000]

I don’t personally know President trump, but he seems like the type who will give the man benefit of the doubt. Let him lie to your face. Then you can legitimately discount him going forward. I doubt it will come as a surprise to Trump to find that the palestinian lied to him.

[thorvaldr]

The Palestinians don’t recognize Israels right to exist AT ALL. There can never be an agreement.

[DannyTN]

Yeah, but Trump is known for hitting back.

The palestinian that lies to Trump is going to be in for a rude awakening.

[dynoman]

No way.

[RoosterRedux]

Bibi has already advised Trump as to how the so-called Palestinians operate.

Trump knows full-well that Abbas will lie, cheat, and steal and cannot be trusted.

What Trump is going to do is bring pressure on Abbas from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordon, and others willing participants in the area.

If Abbas isn't careful, his departure may be one of the conditions of a forthcoming peace agreement.

[meatloaf]

Israelis are “Palestinians” too. Accepting only “Arabs” as Palestinians is a lie that started over fifty years ago.

[rdcbn]

Total bull.

Bill and Hillary Clinton were Arafat and PLO groupies and wanna be revolutionaries who were totally down with the PLO cause.

Huma was gift to the Clintons from Arafat.

Clintons only interest supporting Arafat and screwing Israel and the Clintons ousted Netanyahu for Ehud Barak because they thought they could get Barak to sell out his country.

They came close, but in the end, Barak was either unwilling or unable to sell out his country to the PLO. Of course, Arafat's insane antics did little to help his cause and greatly helped Israel resist the pressure from the Clinton Administration to cut a suicide deal.

Bill Clinton later criticized Arafat, but only because Arafat and Clinton blew their one great chance to bring down the the Jewish state because of Arafat's insanity.

[longfellow]

You’re right, Do remember the photo on the NY POST of hitlary kissing Arafathead’s wife?

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Abbas will soon learn that Trump is no Obama.

Or Bush.

Or Clinton.

Or Carter.

[karnage]

No. Abbas will not dupe Trump. The key is changing the Palestinian Authority founding documents to recognize Israel’s right to exist. Unless and until they do this, there will be no meaningful accord.

[jjotto]

Indeed. Before the 1960s, ‘Palestinian’ standing alone meant ‘Jew’, and ‘Arab’ was separate or added to ‘Palestinian’.

[Fhios]

Trump is an altogether different creature. Trump will expect Abbas to hold up his end, if he doesn’t ... end of peace process. It’s that simple.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

"...remember the photo on the NY POST of hitlary kissing Arafathead’s wife?"

THE KISS

Hillary Clinton and Suha Arafat

[The Westerner]

How was Huma a gift from Arafat? Do you mean a concubine? Or Mata Hari?

[Phlap]

Let's not forget how hard President Bill Clinton tried to forge an agreement between Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and PLO founder Yasser Arafat ...

Like getting a bj from Monica while he talked on the phone to Yasser? Or was that a congressman? There were so many times I bet he forgets.
