Palestinians say U.S. 'deal of the century' will finish off their state

The U.S. blueprint to end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, still in draft form after almost two years, is seen by Palestinians, and by some Arab officials and politicians, as a plan to finish off the Palestinian cause.

The initiative, driven by Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser, was billed by the U.S. president as the “deal of the century”.

While its precise outlines have yet to be revealed, Palestinian and Arab sources who have been briefed on the draft plan say Kushner has jettisoned the two-state solution — the long-standing U.S. and international formula that envisages an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza. […]

“What we’re seeing from the plan is that it will blow up the Palestinians,” one Arab official told Reuters. “The plan doesn’t give justice to the Palestinians.”

“The Palestinian cause is being liquidated — no Jerusalem (as capital), no right of return for refugees, no sovereign state. That is why this American project is dangerous,” one senior Palestinian leader told Reuters.

The deal as outlined so far has been dismissed by President Mahmoud Abbas’ western-backed Palestinian Authority in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. …

Israel is fine but seriously, why do we worry about Israeli borders more than our own.

You never had a state!

There has never been a Palestinian government or kingdom.

There are zero Palestinian artifacts.

There are no architectural or scientific achievements of the mythical Palestinians

No Palestinian language.

No Palestinian bloodline or DNA

They are an invention necessitated by the existence of Jews.

If that's the case, "deal of the century" is quite the understatement.

Winning!

I fail to see a downside to this.

"Palestinians say U.S. 'deal of the century' will finish off their state."

They say that like it was a bad thing. Poor babies.

Please let it be true ! We’re sick of hearing about the damned fakestinian twrrirists. They need to be eliminated or at least repatriated to their own countries/ end their immoral evil Occupation of israel Promised Land— even their own Koran says it belongs to the Jewish people. They’re fighting directly against their god’s Express instructions. Guess where they’re going!? Ha!

Tell the “SO CALLED” Palis that they NEVER HAD A STATE and have never been a DISTINCT BRAND of ragheads.
Just another bunch of camel humpers trying to get something for nothing.

To quote a so called palestinian “GIVE IT TO ME OR I KEEEL YOU”.

In 1947, when Israel was created, the Arab states and the Palestinians rejected a two-state plan by the UN. They instead attacked Israel and lost. Additional attempts to destroy Israel were defeated in 1956, 1967, and 1973, with Israel subjected to repeated conventional, guerilla, and terror attacks in between and afterward.

The Palestinians are now so deeply committed to terrorism and routine criminality that few if any Arab countries genuinely want a Palestinian state or to accept large numbers of Palestinian immigrants. In sum, the Palestinians are so unsuited for statehood that giving it to them would enhance their potential for terrorism, to the mortal detriment of Israel and her neighbors.

The Trump plan would no doubt dramatically improve the Palestinian standard of living and the opportunities for individual Palestinians. The Palestinians though will no doubt reject it despite Arab advice to the contrary. This will lead to further marginalization of the Palestinians, a fate they will richly deserve.

There were no “Palestinians” in 1947. The USSR helped the Arabs concoct that term.
