The PLO is disoriented, panicked and hysterical.
Saeb Erekat, PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas’s chief conduit to Israel and the Americans, complained that since President Donald Trump was sworn in, no administration official had spoken to them.
“I don’t know any of them [Trump’s advisers]. We have sent them letters, written messages. They don’t even bother to respond to us.”
For Barack Obama, together with Iran, the Palestinians were viewed as the key players in the Middle East. Abbas was the first foreign leader Obama called after taking office.
Erekat’s statement reveals that despite its deep support in Europe, the UN and the international Left, without US support, the PLO is irrelevant.
All the achievements the PLO racked up under Obama – topped off with the former president’s facilitation of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 against Israel – are suddenly irrelevant. Their impact dissipated the minute Trump took office.
Israel, in contrast, is more relevant than ever.
Israel has chosen not to defeat its enemies – not to mention the EU-backed NGOs that whitewash them – because the Americans have supported them.
The Clinton administration barred Israel from taking decisive action against either Hezbollah or the Palestinians.
The Bush administration forced Israel to stand down during the war with Hezbollah in 2006.
The Obama administration effectively sided with Hamas against Israel in 2014.
Across three administrations, the Americans made it impossible for Israel to take decisive military action against its enemies.
Under Obama, the US also derailed every Israeli attempt to curb the power of EU-funded subversive organizations operating from inside of Israel.
Under Trump, Israel is free to defeat its enemies.
Unlike his predecessors, Trump is serious about winning. He is willing to take the radical step of accepting Israel as an ally.
The PLO is right to be hysterical.

PLO...Fake people bump.

Winning is the Trump way. MAGA. I’m not tired yet.
And this doesn’t need to involve American lives, or even money. Just turn Israel loose.
“Winning” in Hebrew.
Bibi & the Israelis are “smelling the roses” since Trump was inaugurated ..... God bless them.

“There is no confrontation with half of the power or a quarter of the power, only at full force,” Liberman said. “You don’t stop in the middle – this is the instruction at the moment for the IDF. The next confrontation will be with full force until the other side raises a white flag. It must be a war with the most forceful possible profile,” the defense minister said, according to Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv.
Referring to Israel’s decades-long conflict with the Palestinians, Liberman said he “propose[s] to world powers not to touch the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Whoever wants to help us should forget the over-involvement of the powers that be, on this issue they have no understanding of the meaning of the conflict and they try to force themselves upon us without being asked to.

I got the following variations:
winner
victor
conqueror
top dog
Works for me!
Why on earth should President trump even acknowledge a terrorist organization (other than the fact that they exist) let alone talk to them?
“Across three administrations, the Americans made it impossible for Israel to take decisive military action against its enemies.”
While that statement is certainly ‘true’ and an important factor in Israeli strategic calculations, it is also likely that there is no purely-military solution to Israel’s strategic problems. Look at a map. The harder the Israeli’s push militarily the more push-back they get.
Also ‘maestro’, ‘top dog’. ‘winner’, ‘conqueror’ ...
Now how to pronounce it ......
It should be common sense that group supporting terrorism should NEVER get a seat at the table.
