These folks have been at each other’s throats for thousands of years. Best to back off and left them have at it. Maybe give them water bottles. Jerusalem is a burdensome stone.

As far as I’m concerned, and I think Trump would agree with me, the people who call themselves Palestinians can have their own state, but they cannot have Israel.

The Arabs in the region have a state. It’s called Jordan.

Based on what? The Palestinians have never been a State and have not been recognized as such. How about making a ‘Palestinian State’ in Jordan, which they came from?

Probably some Arabphile is the State Department trying to force his desires on President Trump.

I do not know if US recognition of Palestine would be good or bad.

I do know that wars usually end when one side wins and the other side loses, and the outcome of Israel’s 77 year long war with Palestine is, amazingly, not yet determined.

If the US can facilitate the end to this war without the extermination of one side or the other, we would be doing a good work.

Palestinians were created in 1963 by Yassar Arafat and Russian KGB.

yes. the SnakeDept has needed deNazification for years.

this fake news article could also be just more of the dnc/commie/naxi/leftist campaign to smear Trump as they did with 2 patently faked impeachments, the russia whore story, and about 100,000 false or insulting media stories

the leftwingers fight hard (and very dirty) to retain power over us...very hard and as dirty as any group in history

technically, the Romans under Titus destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in AD 70 and then renamed the area after the ancient enemy of Israel, the Philistines. Philistia is Palestina. So, thanks for all this Rome.

The Arabs in Israel are mostly from Syria and Egypt.

King David battled the Philistines around 1000 B.C., well before the Roman Empire existed:

“The Philistines were a seafaring people who settled along the coastal regions of Canaan, in what is now modern-day Gaza, around the 12th century BC. They were known for their advanced military technology, including the use of iron weapons and chariots, which gave them a strategic advantage over the Israelites. The Philistines’ constant threat to Israel is a recurring theme throughout the books of Judges and Samuel.

David’s rise to prominence begins with his anointing by the prophet Samuel, as recorded in 1 Samuel 16, and his subsequent victory over Goliath, the Philistine giant, in 1 Samuel 17. This victory marks the beginning of David’s military successes and his growing reputation as a leader chosen by God.

David’s Battles Against the Philistines

1. The Battle of Baal-Perazim: After David becomes king over all Israel, the Philistines seek to challenge his authority. In 2 Samuel 5:17-25, the Philistines deploy their forces in the Valley of Rephaim. David inquires of the LORD, who instructs him to attack. The LORD promises victory, saying, “I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand” (2 Samuel 5:19). David defeats them at Baal-Perazim, a name meaning “the Lord who breaks out,” signifying God’s intervention in the battle.

2. The Second Battle in the Valley of Rephaim: The Philistines regroup and return to the valley. Once again, David seeks the LORD’s guidance. This time, God instructs him to circle around behind the Philistines and attack them in front of the balsam trees. The LORD tells David, “As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean the LORD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army” (2 Samuel 5:24). David obeys, and the Philistines are defeated once more.” (Bible Hub source)

Amen.

If he does that -0 it will be the end of US-Israeli relationship. And will signal the end of Israel itself. This is Jared Kushner’s doing at the behest of Ivanka; the Royal Couple [ NYC democrats ] destroyed 45’s term with bad to awful recommendations and advice. Now they are worming their way in again.
