Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Secretary-General Saeb Erekat on Wednesday said he was “shocked” by the White House’s silence on Israel’s construction in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem, and called on President Donald Trump’s administration to clarify its policy.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman announced the approval of 2,500 housing units in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, in order to accommodate the housing needs of the residents and to return their daily routine to normal.

The announcement followed the approval earlier this week of 566 new housing units in the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Ramat Shlomo, Ramot and Pisgat Ze’ev.

While the United Nations and the European Union were quick to condemn the new construction, White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Tuesday declined to express a position on Israeli construction when asked about it in his daily press briefing. …

PLO is under the impression Trump shares Obama’s visceral hostility to Israel.

No wonder they’re slack-jawed...

Work on your English, Saeb, and pay better attention to what's happening. You'll understand soon enough.

I hope Trump gets a harsh letter from the U.N. telling him how upset they are...and puts it in a frame, and hangs it in his office. Winning!

How is this for clarification?

We are allies with Israel and not with PLO, see?

Saeb Erekat, a high ranking mouthpiece and negotiator for Arafart and now Abu Mazen just barely escaped Gaza with his life which was shifting from PLO to HAMAS control in 2007. His “brother” Paleostinians were throwing PLO people off rooftops and would have probably strung him up had he stayed around and not hightailed it out of Gaza to Ramallah. Saeb is a well spoken, diplomatic congenital liar and thief along with the old PLO guard. He has been a very notable person in the PLO for many years and he continues to spew his lies and very creative language (disinformation) to a gullible,, Western audience. The PLO is used to bullying the West, the State Dept., the British Foreign office and all the rest threatening any move towards real peace with “powder keg” analogies. If the world was sane, which it is not, this POS would have had his brains blown out years ago by either the Israelis or by the hand of his loving brothers in HAMAS. He is to be IGNORED!

I imagine that he was even more shocked that Trump is pulling back the $210 million that Obama and Kerry had ordered released to the PLO.

Why? This was a man who thought we should have kept Iraq's oil. Be thankful he is not talking about this subject since you lost to Israel after attacking them.

Dear PLO Leadership . . . as the new President of the United States I have the following thing to say to you . . . listen carefully . . .

Get over your belief you will one day occupy all of Israel. You walked away from Camp David when you had the chance to get real progress . . . you walked away from Oslo when you were going to get almost EVERYTHING you hoped for . . . the charade is OVER. You will PUBLICLY say the following . . . We recognize that Israel DOES have a right to exist.

Until you do that there will be NO U.S. money spent on the Palestinians . . . and then WHEN you say that you will be allowed to negotiate in multiparty talks with us.

Failure to do that within the next 14 days will result in this administration selling Israel ANY weapon system they desire.

Should you restart any terror activity within Israel or help to store and fire missiles from Palestinian territory into Israel we will consider it an attack on the sovereignty of the U.S.

We suggest you get back to the negotiation table as soon as possible . . .

Dearest palis: Shut up. You are uncivilized and useless. The USA has defeated the lunatic supporters you had in our government. The only thing you deserve to receive is bombs...many bombs.

The U.S. doesn’t comment when Muslims build a condo in Saudi Arabia or Jordan. Why should we comment when Jews build in Israel?

I think he's in for a lot more "shocks". For starters:

The New York Times reported Wednesday in a breaking story that the staff of U.S. President Donald J. Trump is preparing an executive order that would terminate funding for any United Nations agency or other international organization that gives full membership to the Palestinian Authority or the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Bye bye money ..... Sugar Daddy Omuslim days are O-ver.
