When I initially read that headline “PA threatens to quit America,” I thought, “of course I care! We need their 20 electoral votes!”
But Palestinian Authority? Piss on ‘em.
They voted for Trump. I thought they were getting better.
Oh, well.
It was a hard conversion to begin with.
In 1992-93 the PLO, a murderous and cruel terror giant pretended to make peace with Israel.They were promised that if they behave their call sign, letters PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), would be converted to PA, Paleostinian Authority. This was a nice symbolic gesture.
All they had to do, as they promised they would, was to erase 2 paragraphs in their 1964 Charter calling for the destruction of the State of Israel.
They promised Bill Clinton, Warren Christopher, Dennis Ross, Israeli and European leaders that they would recognize Israel. In return they would get the slow retreat of Israeli forces back from their borders and cities.
The deal?
Promise to stop being a terror organization on paper and in return, get tangible, real, physical assets like land, property, guns, a new airport (Dahaniya in Gaza), APCs, tons of ammo, training (by CIA, SHABAK, MI6, etc.).
It never happened, the PLO part I mean. Israel pulled back and gave them weapons.
The PLO turned these weapons on the Joint Israeli-PLO patrols. Also came massive bombing campaigns on the part of HAMAS and PLO. In addition, there began KASSAM rockets raining down on Israeli cities.
All these scum had to do was TRY TO CHANGE their letters from PLO to PA, Paleostinian Authority. It failed because they do not want peace, they want military victory.
Nothing has changed.
Me too. My first thought was, "Not before we relocate the Phillies and the Pirates!"
