The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese&#8230; Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct &#8216;Palestinian people&#8217; to oppose Zionism&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.israelnationalnews.com\/Articles\/Article.aspx\/13146\">http:\/\/www.israelnationalnews.com\/Articles\/Article.aspx\/13146<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s team, led by Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, unveiled the economic part of the plan in Bahrain on June 25, 2019. The idea was to present a vision of what peace could bring not only to the combatants, but to the entire region and world as well.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, this is nothing new. Dennis Ross, chief Middle East honcho for President Clinton, was present when Yasir Arafat walked away from a similar deal which would have given him and his people almost all of the disputed territories in Judea and Samaria (<em>aka<\/em> \u201cWest Bank\u201d only since the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century) along with over $30 billion to sweeten the pot.<\/p>\n<p>Then&#8211;as now&#8211;most Arabs demanding their 22<sup>nd<\/sup> state, and <em>second<\/em>, not first, in the land of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine (Jordan was created on some 80% of the total area in1922), desire the destruction of Israel more than they seek an additional one for themselves or prosperity for their own people. Recall that most of those almost two dozen \u201cArab\u201d states, on about six million square miles of territory, were created via the murderous jihadi conquest, colonization, and forced Arabization of scores of millions of native, <em>non-<\/em>Arab peoples and their lands\u2026Kurds, black Africans, Amazigh\/\u201dBerbers,\u201d Assyrians, Copts, <em>kilab yahud<\/em> (&#8220;Jew dogs\u201d), and others as well. Arabs simply refer to the entire region as \u201cpurely Arab patrimony,\u201d and to hell with anyone else\u2019s political aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>Some say that the Arab-Israeli conflict is complex\u2026Bull manure. You just saw it summed up easily in a nutshell in the last sentence above.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, for example, Arabs also refer to the potential birth of an independent Kurdistan, for some forty million<em> truly<\/em> stateless people in the region, as the creation of \u201canother Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back to Bahrain\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the Trump team\u2019s many critics pooh-poohed the economic conference, saying that without \u201cvision\u201d it was meaningless. Please understand <em>that <\/em>to mean that without the Jews being forced to accept the Arabs\u2019 own perpetual vision of Israel\u2019s consent to suicide or destruction in some other manner, nothing else would matter.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some excerpts giving a firsthand account\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The Trump administration&#8217;s $50 billion economic support plan for the Palestinians cannot succeed without addressing the political elements of a Middle East deal, international financial chiefs and global investors said Wednesday in comments that pushed back on the U.S. insistence that the two must be separated.<\/p>\n<p>Panelists at the two-day conference in Bahrain welcomed the proposal&#8217;s ambitious investment and development goals, but warned it would fall short without good governance, rule of law and realistic prospects for lasting peace through a political vision, which they noted is missing from the initiative\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestate.com\/entertainment\/celebrities\/article231965368.html\">https:\/\/www.thestate.com\/entertainment\/celebrities\/article231965368.html<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So again, please don\u2019t bother to bring me smelling salts\u2026I haven\u2019t fainted out of surprise.<\/p>\n<p>When President Trump\u2019s <em>political <\/em>vision is indeed revealed down the road, have no doubt that it too will certainly be rejected out of hand, since&#8211;once again&#8211;any peace plan (which is not a \u201cpeace of the grave\u201d) that allows for <em>a viable<\/em> Israel to still be around on the morrow is as unacceptable to the latter-day Arafatians-in-suits running the show at the PA and Fatah as it was to the late Egyptian ghoul himself at Camp David and Taba in 2000 and 2001.
