On Trump's Middle East Peace Plan

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“It is only reasonable that I also have to do a lot for the Palestinians, or it just wouldn’t be fair.”
- President Donald Trump on his recently released Middle East Peace Plan

Last week President Trump with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing by his side, unveiled his long awaited Middle East Peace Plan. And while there are good intentioned aspects to this plan...a plan mainly brokered by Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner...there is one aspect that I personally will never agree with, that being Israel giving up even one inch of its precious land in order to attain peace. And while this plan is a hoped for pathway...a jumping off point if you will...to a Two-State Solution, the only saving grace in my eyes is that under the leadership of Mahmoud Abbas the Palestinians will not go along with this plan thus exposing to the world the Palestinian leader's true want...as in of all of Israel...a Jew-less Israel...and nothing less. Was what would be a tenuous peace at best President Trump's media marketed “Deal of the Century's” true objective...possibly...or was this Trump's calling the Palestinian leader's bluff...something that seems more likely. I'll get into that in a bit.

Surrounded by 22 Arab nations...a few now Israel's friend, most still Israel's foe...giving up either God-given land or land garnered as the fairly gotten spoils of war is not now nor is it ever a wise idea. And while our president is trying to be fair in regards to a people who've been playing the victim card since being invented by Yasser Arafat in the 1960's to further his PLO cause...those very people have found an ally in Jordan's King Abdullah who under Trump's plan would become the Palestinians caretaker of sorts...which is akin to the wolf guarding the hen house. Why so...because it's King Abudllah himself who could have ended this conflict years ago by welcoming back into Jordan the very people who hold his country's citizenship and passports. Even his own father, the late King Hussein, admitted there were no Palestinians, there were only temporarily displaced Jordanians.

Was President Trump aware of this...I don't know. But Jared Kushner most likely was but decided to take a gamble with fingers crossed for luck I suppose...a bad judgment call if nothing else or is there a method to this madness. And madness it is for trading land for peace has been proven throughout history not to work out in the long run, and I do not believe it will work out now even with certain caveats being placed upon the land Israel would be turning over...land that will more than double the Palestinian territory and provide for a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem. In fact, President Trump stated that we would open an embassy there when a Palestinian State is officially declared.

A Palestinian State...how those words do not sit well...for I believe such a state has no right to exist for it would be a state born to placate a basically non-existent people. And besides, on November 29, 1947, the U.N. passed a resolution regarding British called Palestine stating that said land was to be partitioned between Arabs and Jews... the Arabs turned it down and thus Israel... the Jewish State of Israel...was born.

And know that for better or worse such a Palestinian State is this plan's hoped for ultimate goal...or is it...for creating a nation for a made-up people...a people born of hate for the Jewish people coupled with a misguided want for the Jewish homeland... is not what one would think is a good thing. And while under this plan, as it's currently written, Israel would remain in control of security for both the Jordan Valley and the newly designated Palestinian lands, at least for the foreseeable future, know the land that Israel would be giving up is now being propagandized as but a swap...a swap for Israel remaining in sovereign control of its own rightful and legally existing settlements already in the West Bank. But even that comes with caveats of sorts for at the same time Israel gives up their land they're also facing a four-year ban on new construction on the very land they have sovereign control over. So not kosher in my opinion.

Yet the fact remains that no matter how said swap is packaged and sold, what's being downplayed is Israel's basically surrendering East Jerusalem for as per the plan it would become the capital of a Palestinian State. And this specifically includes the part of East Jerusalem made up of Abu Dis, Kafr Akab and half of Shuafa, thus seeing Jerusalem... which Israel assumed complete administrative control of after the Six-Day War...being divided instead of both the East and West sections remaining both part of the whole and the Jewish State's capital alone. Remember, the plan's saying that Jerusalem remains Israel's undivided capital simply means West Jerusalem does.

This is "the last opportunity they will ever have," so said President Trump...I say this is the so-called Palestinians last opportunity to force and secure a division in a city that must never be divided.

Jerusalem as a divided city...no matter the deals good intentions...actually harkens back to Israel's founding when in 1948, biblical Jerusalem was divided in two. And while Israel, as per U.N. mandate, was given control of the western section of Jerusalem and held said control from 1949 to 1967, Jordan was given control of Jerusalem's eastern section...the very section that includes the sacred old walled city containing both sacred Jewish and Christian holy sites. But when Israel finally re-annexed East Jerusalem back into Jerusalem proper after their winning the Six Day War, Israel said Jerusalem would never be divided again. But this “Deal of the Century” does just that using the old U.N. boundaries to acquiesce to the U.N.'s demand for a Two-State Solution...to make East Jerusalem the capital of a non-existent people's state.

And besides East Jerusalem, Israel is giving away the non-Israeli settlement areas in the a fore mentioned West Bank as well as the Gaza Strip and areas to its south, with those would be Palestinian lands being connected by a series of tunnels and bridges. But I say tunnels and bridges that would afford easy access for terrorists and other unsavory sorts to enter Israel proper no matter how said access points were reinforced or guarded.

And even with President Trump stating that acceptance of the plan would lead to $50 billion in new commercial investment in now what would be Palestine and that if “executed well” it could create one million new Palestinian jobs, being overlooked is the fact that this plan also gives the Palestinians time to meet the criteria for autonomy...criteria including their formally recognizing Israel as the Jewish State as well as their denouncing terrorism... basically giving these people a four-year time frame to start acting like civilized men. But how can those who have for generations been indoctrinated from birth into a culture of Jew-hatred suddenly change their mindset in but four-years...simply they cannot thus leading me to believe that this plan was but a time buyer until either Mahmoud Abbas or King Abdullah is gone, at which time the so-called Palestinians could return to their rightful homeland...Jordan.

So, was this plan designed to fail in order to expose the truth about the so-called Palestinian people? I believe it was for why else would the plan have been preemptively rejected by Palestinian leaders...why else would Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat say the plan was but “copied and pasted” steps that Netanyahu wanted to see implemented, adding that, “It's about annexation, it's about apartheid.” Why else indeed. Again the answer lies within the very words of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who immediately dismissed President Trump's plan as a “conspiracy” calling it “dead on arrival,” and that it was “impossible for any Palestinian, Arab, Muslim or Christian child to accept” a Palestinian state without all...both East and West...of Jerusalem as its capital. Makes me wonder just when did Mahmoud Abbas became the Christians spokesman...ever so sarcastically said.

Now consider this point as well...a spokesman for United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said the U.N. position regarding Trump's Peace Plan was that it defied numerous Security Council and General Assembly resolutions. “The United Nations remains committed to supporting Palestinians and Israelis to resolve the conflict on the basis of United Nations resolutions, international law and bilateral agreements and realizing the vision of two states - Israel and Palestine - living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders, on the basis of the pre-1967 lines,” were his actual words said. Notice the last four words “the pre-1967 lines”...as in before the Six-Day War...again shows that the U.N. sides with the Palestinians and wants Israel returned to its former what would be easily compromised borders.

In fact, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, one Nickolay Mladenov, said that Israeli annexation of any part of the West Bank would end the possibility of resuming Israeli-Palestinian negotiations toward a peace deal, once again harkening back to Israel's pre-'67 borders.

Both President Trump and Jared Kushner had to know this would be the U.N.'s reaction beforehand as the U.N. has never vacillated from either position. And both had to know that the Palestinian reaction to their plan would as unusual be violence and disrespect.

And while Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and the UAE... countries no longer Israel's foes...all issued statements welcoming Trump's plan as a starting point to peace, all their statements had certain telltale words which can best be summed up with the Saudi's words. “The Kingdom reiterates its support for all efforts aimed at reaching a just and comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian cause” and “to move forward the peace process to reach an agreement that achieves legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.” Missing from here and the others statements is what about the rights of the Israeli people to live as they alone see fit...to do as they alone wish to do in their God-given ancestral homeland.

And even with Egypt saying it will go along with the plan if it's adopted, I bet they're not too happy with even more Palestinians living along their border...a border with the Sinai Peninsula where Egypt has enough problems with parts of it now being a terrorist stronghold...they sure don't need Hamas supporting Palestinians adding to their problems.

So what was the reaction in Israel herself to a plan that while it supposedly sees Israel getting “overriding security responsibility and control over entire territory from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea” as per U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Freidman, it still places Israel’s identity as both a Jewish and democratic state in jeopardy for it gives what are a made-up people not only Gaza and the majority of the West Bank, but East Jerusalem as its capital as well. Simply, Trump's plan was greeting with a politically mixed reaction at best what with the Palestinian leadership, as previously stated, wanting no part of a plan they claim was both drawn up unilaterally and negates their belief that the Palestinians have the “inalienable right to self-determination,” while Israeli's from both Netanyahu's Likud Party and Gantz's Blue and White Party are at least happy with the fact that the White House took the “unusual step” of getting a sign-off and plan approval from Benny Gantz before being publicly revealed, thus avoiding Trump's plan being seen as a political maneuver to aid his friend Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming March election.

But for me Joel Rosenberg, co-founder of the Alliance for the Peace of Jerusalem, might have revealed Trump's plan's true intentions with his words, “Seeing three Arab Gulf leaders at the ceremony, he (Trump) just might have succeeded in threading the needle.” I guess “threading the needle” is better than not threading it at all especially since set-in-stone benchmark conditions must be met by the Palestinians if said plan has even an inkling of a chance of succeeding. But if giving these made-up people East Jerusalem as its capital is its true objective then this particular plan remains a "no go" to me.

Sorry BiBi, sorry President Trump, if and only if this is the plan's true goal...and while I will always support and stand by you both...I cannot abide surrendering any part of Israel's ancestral land ...especially surrendering to those wish were all Jews dead. But if this plan indeed was designed to show the world that the Palestinians are not really serious nor interested in peace...than it was a gamble worth taking. After all, it's well known that leopards never change their spots...I doubt a non-existent people would do so as well

Jerusalem...Israel's Foundation of Truth
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

"Israel is a sovereign nation, with the right like every other sovereign nation, to determine its own capital."
- President Trump's video address to those at the U.S. Embassy opening ceremony in Jerusalem

Three thousand years ago the great Jewish King David declared Jerusalem as Israel's capital... Israel...the land God Our Father gave to the Jewish people...His chosen people. And on Tuesday, May 14th at around 9am EST...a date and time that coincides with the 70th anniversary of Israel’s Declaration of Independence...President Donald J. Trump had these United States honor both God's will and his personal promise made...a promise made by past presidents but a promise never kept...as Jerusalem officially became the location of the United States Embassy in Israel.

After last December's announcement that the U.S. Embassy would be moving from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem... keeping yet another campaign promise made...the opening ceremony was attended by Trump administration officials including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, various senators and representatives, as well as White House adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and adviser and daughter Ivanka Trump, who unveiled the embassy's new plaque.

"Remember this moment. This is history. President Trump, by recognizing history, you have made history. We have no better friends in the world. You stand for Israel and you stand for Jerusalem." So said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

And while this was truly a glorious and symbolic day where Israeli and American friendship was forever sealed, it was also a day that saw deliberate and calculatingly planned violence happening against the Jewish State...violence carried out by Palestinians aligned with the militant group Hamas...violence being orchestrated and financed solely by Iran.

But it goes further than simple violence as the hardline anti-Israel group, the Iranian Justice Seeker Student Movement, issued a statement that, “Whoever bombs the embassy’s building will receive a $100,000 award. It is necessary to mention that the steps by Trump to transfer the US Embassy to Holy Qods [Jerusalem] has led to the anger and hatred of Muslims and liberators throughout the world.”

Perhaps that $100,000 will be from part of the dollars the traitor Barack HUSSEIN Obama gave to the mullahs...no perhaps about it.

And with said violence once again being the Palestinians order of the day came many untruths...untruths reported as fact by a media so blatantly not in Israel's corner. And while claiming that their anger was now being fueled by the embassy move alone, the anything but peaceful protesters acted like savages as they set tires on fire which sent plumes of choking black smoke up into the air; as they hurled firebombs, threw rocks and fired shots at Israeli troops manning the Israeli side of the Gaza border; while some even tried to tear down, push their way through and/or place bombs along the wire fence delineating and separating the two sides.

But with Israel having every right to defend herself against the 40,000 Palestinians who took part in violent demonstrations at 13 different locations along the fence, Israeli soldiers retaliated and shot and killed 58 of them along with 'supposedly' wounding more than a thousand others in what was called the deadliest protests against Israeli occupation in years...occupation of lands the Palestinians had no right to occupy in the first place...occupation of lands that if truth be told belong to Israel alone for only Israel has been forced to turn over lands they rightfully captured in war.

And of course the media paints the violence and deaths as being all Israel's fault, leading White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah to issue a statement that basically absolved Israel of all blame. Saying that, “The responsibility for these tragic deaths rests solely with Hamas,” Shah added that, “Their cynical exploitation of these issues is what is leading to these deaths.”

“The Gaza violence is not over our embassy location, it comes from those who reject the existence of Israel in any location.” So said U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley as she defended Israel against mounting international criticism of its response to the violent demonstrations at the Gaza border.

And with said brouhaha spilling over into a Tuesday emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, Palestinian envoy Riyad Mansour accused Israel of not only “a war crime” but of “crimes against humanity” in regards to what he called the “odious massacre committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip.” But Ambassador Haley set the record straight by explaining that, “By killing fewer than 100 Hamas terror group operatives who attempted to bomb and break through the border in order to massacre Israeli citizens in border communities, Israeli Defense Forces showed considerable restraint, considering that there were tens of thousands of violent muslim rioters posing as "peaceful" protesters.”

And with those words Ambassador Haley let the world known that these were anything but peaceful protesters and that “Hamas is pleased with the results from yesterday.”

“These were violent muslim rioters...many of them were armed...many of them were enemy combatants”... as per Israeli envoy Danny Dannon...muslim rioters committing “crimes against humanity”...muslim rioters that must be called to task...muslim rioters otherwise known as but one arm of Iran's many proxy armies. Iran...the true destabilizing force in the entirety of the Middle East.

“I ask my colleagues here in the Security Council, who among us would accept this type of activity on your border? No one would.” So said Ambassador Haley who walked out of the chamber after Riyad Mansour proposed a resolution in regards to an “independent review” of the “incident in Gaza”...a resolution Haley vetoed.

                                                                                                                                                 So what was our response to all the Hamas instigated Palestinian uncalled for violence... violence that even Senior Hamas Official Mahmoud Al-Zahhar admitted was “not peaceful resistance...it is supported by our weapons...it is growing and developing. That’s clear.” As per Department of State requests due to what Defense Department spokesman Maj. Adrian Rankine-Galloway called the “heightened threat environment” posed to American diplomats in the region, Marine Corps security forces were increased at American embassies in both Turkey and Jordan, as well as at the former embassy site in Tel Aviv and other diplomatic installations in the Middle East.

Simply, there will be no Benghazi's on President Trump's watch.

Now as for the world's response to the actual embassy move, Turkey announced that it was recalling its ambassador to Washington in protest, and the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation...the world’s largest muslim organization...denounced the U.S. embassy move as “an attack on the historical, legal, natural and national rights of the Palestinian people”...as if there actually are a Palestinian people...which there are not...and which Benjamin Netanyahu rightfully calls “a fictional nationality.”

In fact, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has boycotted peace talks Jared Kushner was trying to mediate, as if on teleprompted cue said the embassy move amounted to “an illegal settlement” and vowed not to accept any peace deals proposed by the Trump administration...as if he would accept any deal short of Israel's total demise.

But what of our allies Great Britain, Germany and France...the three musketeers who stabbed us in the back over the Iranian nuclear deal...where do they stand in all this? Actually, nothing has changed since President Trump's announcement last December. Boris Johnson, the British Foreign Secretary, continued to reiterate what Teresa May said when Trump first spoke of the move that, “such a move could further disrupt efforts to reach peace in the region.” As if the Palestinians really wanted peace...they do not.

Remember when German Chancellor Angela Merkel...the woman who wants Iran to finish off what Hitler started... said that the “German government does not support this position, because the status of Jerusalem is to be resolved in the framework of a two-state solution”...well nothing has changed there either nor has it for French President Emmanuel Macron who said that moving our embassy is “a regrettable decision that France does not approve of and goes against international law and all the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council”...but pray tell how does moving an embassy...moving a building...violate anything especially when done by a sovereign nation with permission from the other sovereign nation involved.

So while our allies are turning their backs on us and only aligning with us when it's convenient for them to do so...what of the Arab world?

Much of the Arab world was on the surface quite shocked when President Trump announced the now come to fruition embassy move, in fact, the Palestinians held a general strike in protest...anything not to work. And while thousands in Turkey, Lebanon, Morocco and elsewhere in the Arab world joined their Palestinian brethren in protest, their protests were short-lived and for the most part peaceful...save for Iran of course. A quite unexpected turn of events as several key Arab leaders turned their backs on the Palestinians whining as reality set in that for them and their countries it was way more advantageous to forge ties with Israel instead.

Now seeing the Palestinians as the regions troublemakers not Israel, as well as their having their own issues with Iran, Egypt for one secretly allowed Israel to carry out drone strikes against militant groups in the Sinai peninsula while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman not too long ago said, “It’s about time the Palestinians take the proposals and agree to come to the negotiations table or shut up and stop complaining” adding that Israel had the right to “their own land.”

And last week, right after President Trump rightfully withdrew the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal and Iran fired missiles into Israel, Bahrain’s foreign minister tweeted that Israel has the right to defend itself in the face of Iranian aggression...a move that possibly indicates that more moderate Arab leaders fear the growing threat posed by Iran over petty regional disagreements...disagreements including President Trump's moving our embassy to Jerusalem.

And so while both allies and foes are claiming that the Palestinian deaths are proof that President Trump should not have moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, I say kudos to him for doing so. And I also say kudos to Prime Minister Netanyahu for calling on other countries to follow Trump's example and relocate their embassies to Jerusalem, calling it "the right thing to do." Saying that moving their embassies to Jerusalem "advances peace" because peace is based on the foundations of truth, Netanyahu has let the world know that "the truth is that not only has Jerusalem been the capital of the Jewish people for millennia and our state for decades, but the truth is that under any peace deal Jerusalem will remain Israel’s capital."

And to that I say "amen."

The Cowards vs. The Pitbull in a Dress
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“I will decline the advice I was recently given by your top negotiator, Saeb Erekat. I will not shut up.”
 - U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley rocks...there is no other way to say it and I cannot say it enough. John Bolton revisited and so very long overdue.

A strong woman...a woman of conviction...I applaud Ambassador Haley for her “bitch slapping” PLO Secretary General Saeb Erekat across his chauvinistic, sharia-wanting, disrespectful face after he said to her at a recent U.N. meeting that she "needs to shut up and realize the Palestinian leadership is not the problem."

Oh really...if the Palestinian leadership is not the problem in regards to the farce known as the Israeli/Palestinian anything but peace talks, then I ask Mr. Erekat who or what exactly is the problem.

But he can't answer that or better yet he dare not answer that for Saeb Erekat knows it will not serve him well if he let the truth be known that it's actually the entirety of the made-up people known as the Palestinians who are the problem...a problem consisting of the sum of its parts starting at the top with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas clear on down to the littlest child being trained today to be tomorrow's terrorist-in-waiting.

And what started this altercation between Haley and Erekat...it was Ambassador Haley's previously stated words before the U.N.'s Security Council where she rightfully called out Palestinian Authority President and 'supposed' peace broker Mahmoud Abbas for remarks he gave back in mid-January in a speech before the PLO's Central Council in Ramallah.

Incendiary words chosen just to inflame the passions of the Palestinians and their supporters, Abbas' speech not only deliberately and with much malice intended, ignored any and all legitimate Jewish and Israeli claims and ties to both the Holy Land and to Jerusalem proper, but where Abbas also stated that during the Holocaust years Europe's Jews “willingly chose” to undergo “murder and slaughter” instead of emigrating to what was then British-held Palestine. Then adding that Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, “imported” Jews from Yemen and Iraq to Israel against their will to deliberately “stir up trouble in Arab countries,” it was clear that Abbas's remarks were that of a man who in no way sought peace...and who in reality never really did.

And Abbas continuing on by saying that, “Ben-Gurion did not want Middle Eastern Jews to come [to Israel]...but when he saw the vast land, he was forced to bring Middle Eastern Jews...that didn’t want to come. From Yemen they flew 50,000 Jews...They didn’t suffice with 50,000 Jews. Then they went to Iraq, which had large reserves of Jews.”

“Reserves of Jews”...what pray tell did Abbas mean by “reserves of Jews?” And when he claimed that this was all accomplished by Israeli politicians making deals with Iraqi politicians ..."deals to take away the citizenship of Jews and force them to emigrate,” Abbas' claims became but the stuff of a madman's delusions.

And his reasoning behind these ridiculous statements... according to Abbas' own words it was because he believed that the State of Israel was formed as “a colonial project that has nothing to do with Judaism,” as it was created solely to safeguard European interests. In fact, Abbas reiterated his previously stated demand that Britain apologize for its 1917 Balfour Declaration, which endorsed the idea of a Jewish state, because according to Abbas the history of the British-Jewish connection to Palestine actually reached back to the rule of Oliver Cromwell in 1653, which is decidedly untrue.

"He invoked an ugly and fictional past, reaching back to the 17th century to paint Israel as a colonialist project engineered by European powers," correctly said Ambassador Haley about Abbas's comments.

So what is Abbas but a man buying into the lying rhetoric he probably helped write for Mahmoud Abbas is ever so desperately trying to rewrite history to better serve his and his anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, anti-American cohorts unabashedly nefarious agenda. And he's doing so by deliberately choosing to ignore the fact that the Jewish people, both biblically and historically, have deep connections and ties to the land of Israel including having had Israel see long periods of sovereignty back when the land was under the rule of the great Jewish Kings Saul, David and Solomon.

And know that Abbas in spewing his what amounts to islamic propaganda in Ramallah, was doing so to further push forward Iran's islamic agenda that would see the current Jewish State of Israel...Iran's called “Little Satan”...being wiped off the map and then to claim all of Israel as the Palestinian's homeland with Jerusalem as its capital.

The Levant finally realized...or so Abbas thinks...or so Abbas hopes.

And this is the man that Israel...that BiBi Netanyahu...is supposed to broker peace with...no I don't think so...for how can peace be  Mahmoud Abbas' true objective when he neither understands nor will he entertain the fact that the Jewish people have both a biblical and a legal claim to the whole of the U.N. mandated modern Jewish State of Israel. And dare we forget that Abbas' demanding a two-state solution would be the death-knell for Israel for this is the very man who has never once said that the Jewish State of Israel has a right to exist.

Simply, peace will never be achieved while Mahmoud Abbas is the man brokering the 'supposed' peace talks for Abbas is but a man hiding behind the mask of saying that he wants peace but doing everything possible so that there can be no peace. And that includes him having met just a few weeks ago with the ultimate wolf-in-sheep's-clothing, King Abdullah II of Jordan, the man who says he's Israel's friend but who in reality is anything but.

In fact, during his meeting with Jordan’s king...a meeting that was nothing but a U.N. generated push-back against President Trump's recognizing an undivided Jerusalem as Israel's capital...Abdullah assured Abbas that he, as a 'supposed' respected voice on the international stage, will always defend what he called the so-called “legitimate rights” of the Palestinians to independence along with them having a capital in East Jerusalem.

And Abdullah does so even knowing well that the so-called Palestinians are actually Jordanians who he refuses to allow to come home...and he does this while still refusing to give full rights to those Palestinians that already call Jordan home.

And so, both men agreed to coordinate positions saying that, “great efforts are now being made to limit the damage” done by the U.S. recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital especially now that President Trump has said that the issue of Jerusalem is “off the table.” But what Abdullah willingly chooses to ignore is that he has now taken sides not just against Israel but against our country as well for Abdullah forgets that Jordan is a U.S. ally as well as Jordan being a major recipient of U.S. economic and military aid...both of which, I believe, now need to be immediately discontinued.

And Israel...and Netanyahu...need to add Jordan and its backstabbing king to the list of Arab...of muslim...countries wishing for Israel's demise.

Now remember what I said earlier, that Mahmoud Abbas really does not want peace and to that affect I offer you this as proof. Just last Tuesday when the U.N. Security Council again convened a meeting on what they call “the Palestinian question,” Mahmoud Abbas showed the world exactly what he and the Palestinian Authority really thinks about peace.

In his address Abbas listed his demands including that there must be a “suspension of the decision regarding Jerusalem and halting the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem.” And immediately upon his last word, Mahmoud Abbas and his minions got up and walked out of the Council chamber, knowing full well that the next two scheduled speakers were to be Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley.

See Abbas and his minions walking out before Ambassadors Danny Danon and Nikki Haley are to speak here: https://tinyurl.com/y97ayot7

“I expected Mr. Abbas to stay with us and have a dialogue...unfortunately he’s once again running away,” said Ambassador Danon but really, that is what cowards and phonies do...they run for fear of being confronted and being exposed to the truth, and in Abbas' case that truth is that he really does not want peace.

In fact, Mahmoud Abbas is actually an obstructionist to peace for Abbas knows well that the Palestinian issue brings in big bucks and that he is one of those benefiting directly from those big bucks...so why upset the status-quo and risk losing his ever increasing bank account.

And Ambassador Haley's response to what amounts to being deliberately demeaned and shunned is that instead of her ignoring Abbas she stood strong and hit the now gone PLO president head on. Saying that, “The United States stands ready to work with the Palestinian leadership,” and that “Our negotiators are sitting right behind me, ready to talk. But we will not chase after you. The choice, Mr. President, is yours”...what Haley actually did was tell the Palestinians they had but two choices...as in either go on a “path of absolutist demands, hateful rhetoric, and incitement to violence” or to follow a “path of negotiation and compromise”...a path that for now “remains open to the Palestinian leadership if only it is courageous enough to take it."

Unfortunately, Abbas, as expected, chose the cowardly path by walking out taking with him Saed 'shut up' Erekat. Both sharia endorsing men now showing the world that they indeed are afraid of Nikki Haley and the words emanating from what they consider a mere girl... one really needs to see both the irony and shamefulness in that.

But if truth be told the entirety of these 'supposed' peace talks is now and has always been but a sham on the Palestinian's side for peace based upon the sovereign nation of Israel giving up even one inch of its precious land...which is what the Palestinians want...instead of working towards a peace based upon changing the Palestinian's mindset regarding Israel’s right to exist as the nation/state of the Jewish people, coupled with accepting as fact the Jewish people's sole historical and biblical connection to the Holy Land and to Jerusalem...will never see their misguided brand of peace working out nor will it ever come to fruition. And President Trump rightfully knows this.

And why...because the PLO, the Palestinian Authority, and their terrorist arm Hamas, continue to promote and instigate violence and terrorism as a way to seek Israel’s destruction by using the 'so-called' Palestinian people as their current favored weapon of choice. A true Pandora's box of contradictions...one the true reality that peace will never be brokered and the other the pretending that peace could be at hand if only Israel acquiesces to the demands of its enemies. And this sees the ones suffering the most being the 'so-called' Palestinians themselves for they already have a homeland lying just east of the Jordan River, but it's headed by a king who simply does not want to let them in.

So the U.N. supported pro-Palestinian banter will continue to drone on with nothing of substance being accomplished, especially when the now officially "off the table" issue of Jerusalem (and with this May's U.S. embassy groundbreaking...groundbreaking designed to coincide with Israel's 70th Independence Day) was something the Palestinians knew... something that Abbas knew...would always be the case. But know that Ambassador Nikki Haley will continue to shine while at the very same time still being disrespected by the very same ones she is trying to help...and all I can say is I hope that Nikki Haley never shuts up.

Op-ed: 
An Alliance Forges Ahead...An Alliance Obama Never Expected
By: Diane Sori

Well he's done it again folks...stabbed Israel in the back that is.

And while some might think this is NO big deal for they still harbor the old hatreds against Jews...this is indeed a big deal for while we know Obama hates both Israel and Jews...except when the Jews open their wallets to line the Democratic coffers that is...his newest deliberate action against the Jewish state is his delaying or outright canceling arms and munitions sales to them after finding out that the Pentagon had been approving the sale of munitions to Israel without his exalted approval...which they did NOT need by the way...bypassing Obama's approval in favor of that of Israel's allies in Congress.

Now setting Israel up as the only nation whose sales and transfers of arms must be monitored, reviewed, and then approved by both the State Department and the White House...and doing so for even routine munitions requests by Israel...what was once handled strictly as a military-to-military matter by the Pentagon...Obama has now given himself and John 'Swiftboat' Kerry, alone or together, the definitive yea or nay as to what arms and munitions will or will NOT go to our only true ally and friend in the Middle East.

And with this unilateral decision on Obama's part, the what was set-to-go transfer of precision strike hellfire missiles to Israel has been put on hold. And with his using this transfer as an attempt to force Benjamin Netanyahu into stepping back his attacks on Gaza, many of Israel's leaders... leaders like the Labor Party's Miri Regev...now believe that, "We (Israel) can only rely on ourselves.”

But that might NOT be quite so for Israel has now forged new friendships of sorts... to Obama's chagrin I might add...friendships with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and even with Russia to some extent. And alliances have been formed with Egypt's President el-Sisi and...shock of all shocks...with Mahmoud Abbas of PA infamy. But while this alliance will well serve Israel, Egypt, and the Palestinians in their quest for a homeland, let's NOT forget that for this alliance to stand strong, the PA charter must be amended to remove any and all references that Jews must be killed.

And contrary to Obama's stance, these three men know the truth about Hamas, and together insist that Hamas accept Egypt's ceasefire proposal unchanged and unconditionally or face an escalated war that Israel will surely win...and will do so with Egypt by their side. And most importantly, these three men have now demanded that Obama's hand and EU interference be kept out of any and all peace negotiations from here on out.

But this new alliance...an alliance where Obama has now been rightfully delegated to being NOTHING but a bystander...means little to him as he continues to stab Israel in the back with one hand while shaking the hands of both terrorist supporting Turkey and Qatar with his other.

And get this...Turkey...like a kid in a candy store...has gone shopping, so to speak, at America's weapons depositories comprising a want-list that includes 145 AMRAAMs, 10 missile guidance sections, and 40 LAU-129 launchers. Also they've included on their want-list containers, support equipment, spare and repair parts, integration activities, publications and technical documentation, test equipment, personnel training and training equipment, government and contractor logistics, engineering and technical support, along with other related elements and program support.

Now here's the kicker, the Obama administration has said that this sale meets "consistency with U.S. national interests" (but Israel's does NOT) and approved it all. But by his selling these advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles and all other things asked for by Turkey, Obama is again dealing in arms with the same country he (I believe) funneled weapons through to Syria in the fiasco known as Benghazi. And Turkey is NO friend of Israel as they are a main source of monetary support for Hamas and its parent of sorts, the Muslim Brotherhood.

And if the Turkey deal doesn't have you hopping mad, add into the mix that Obama recently signed an agreement with Qatar to sell them Apache attack helicopters and both Patriot and Javelin air-defense systems, never mind that Qatar is one of the main financiers and supporters of both Hamas and ISIS.

So in reality, the Obama administration has now directly funded with weapons our ally Israel's enemy Hamas, and has directly funded with U.S arms being sold to Turkey and Qatar the most barbaric of all savage terrorist groups...this being the group known as ISIS...a group who has publicly announced its flag will soon fly over the White House.

And let's be honest here...Obama would probably hoist their flag up the flagpole himself if he could.

Now please don't say, 'oh you just hate Obama,' because if truth be told his actions...or lack thereof...speak for themselves as all his chest pounding that he's attacking ISIS really amounts to NOTHING of substance for a few 'targeted strikes' here and there will in NO way lead to the defeat of the very ones out to kill us all...that is all of us who do NOT have prayer rugs in their homes.

And now with his continuing to stab Israel in the back by supplying weapons to her enemies, and with his aiding in the birth of ISIS by leaving NO troops behind in Iraq to help keep the peace, Obama heads off to Estonia next month to assure the former Soviet republic and other countries in central and eastern Europe...countries who fear that Russia's and Putin's aggression into Ukraine might spread...that he and America have their backs...yeah right.

And with Obama saying that this upcoming trip offers him the opportunity to discuss regional security, economic growth, and collective defense issues with the region's leaders, if I was one of those leaders I would be leery indeed for Barack HUSSEIN Obama will try to sell them out to his brethren just like he has tried but thankfully failed to do with Israel.

But as far as Israel is concerned Obama's just warming up as he's got two-and-half years left to try and reach that goal...good muslim that he is.

Op-ed: 

Because they were Jews 

By: Diane Sori

"It’s not foreign policy. It’s not a cycle of violence. It’s not the 'occupation'. It’s Islam." 

- Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center in New York City upon hearing of the deaths of the three Israeli teenagers

 

“If he did the kidnapping I’ll be proud of him. I raised my children on the knees of the (Islamic) religion, they are religious guys, honest and clean-handed, and their goal is to bring the victory of Islam.” 

- Statement by the mother of Amar Abu-Eisha, one of the suspected kidnappers and killers of the teens

One statement speaks the truth...the other speaks of those who do NOT deserve to live let alone walk amongst civilized men. 

 

Saying NOTHING in his Monday all for show photo-op news conference with amnesty advocates...a news conference where he as usual lambasted the TEA Party and where he told of his plans to circumvent Congress to push through his open-borders agenda via his pen and his phone...Obama had the perfect opportunity to say something...to say anything...about the three teenage boys MURDERED and found buried under a pile of rocks, debris, and garbage...about the American MURDERED...by his brethren. But as expected NOT a word was said...NO anger expressing over the MURDERS...nor did he demand a call to justice for those muslim bast*rds who did this.

Instead this Israel-hating, (I believe) anti-Semitic president said NOT a word and that silence speaks volumes. However, later in the day in a carefully worded statement issued by his new mouthpiece Josh Earnest...Obama had the audacity to caution Israel to exercise “restraint” in regards to whatever payback options she undertakes both now and in the future. 

 

Continuing on with Obama's statement Earnest said, "...From the outset, I have offered our full support to Israel and the Palestinian Authority to find the perpetrators of this crime and bring them to justice, and I encourage Israel and the Palestinian Authority to continue working together in that effort. I also urge all parties to refrain from steps that could further destabilize the situation. As the Israeli people deal with this tragedy, they have the full support and friendship of the United States."  

 

Oh really...the words "full support and friendship" mean NOTHING to this man as he has done everything every chance he gets to stab Israel...to stab the Jewish people...in the back.

And in this silence of empty words...words spewed NOT even out of his own mouth...memories are brought back of the ghosts of Benghazi and Extortion 17...yet when a traitor recently came home this miserable excuse of a president went all over television praising God...or in his case...allah.

Following along in his course of saying NOTHING while an American pastor still languishes in an Iranian jail, while a U.S. Marine still languishes in a Mexican jail, while Coptic Christians are still being slaughtered like animals all over the Middle East and North Africa, this stain of a man dared to issue a statement full of empty words showing he cares more about "destabilizing the situation"...a situation that has his hand all over it I might add...than he does about the boys MURDERED or the grieving families they leave behind.

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu... the world's last great statesman...on hearing that the boys bodies had been found said words that needed to be said...words our very own 'enemy within' will NEVER say...when he vowed "Hamas will pay a heavy price" that "They were abducted and murdered in cold blood by human animals." Then he quoted Israeli poet Hayim Nahman Bialik saying, "'Vengeance for the blood of a small child, Satan has not yet created.'"

 

Maybe NOT yet created but know that Israeli payback will indeed be swift and focused for these terrorists who murdered the teenagers are NOT operating alone...they have help...they have supporters...and I believe one of them resides in the White House. And so Israel must now and forever send a message for all the world to hear that NO one will ever lay a hand on a Jew again...NO one will ever spill Jewish blood again simply because they are Jewish...and NO one will ever dare to kill Jewish children again for every Jewish child killed will see consequences NOT seen before.

 

And as Israeli jets...who had struck 34 locations in Gaza overnight...went silent when, wrapped in blue and white Israeli flags, Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel, and Eyal Yifrah were laid to everlasting rest side by side in the town of Modiin. And as yesterday became an Israeli national day of mourning...NO...a national day of mourning for Jews everywhere...their families can maybe take some comfort in knowing that the three boys left behind a legacy of bringing a nation together as echoes of 'Never Again' have been awoken within the hearts of the Jewish people NOT only in Israel, but in the hearts of the Jewish people wherever they may be.

And while Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri warned Israel against any broad offensive in retaliation, Israeli Deputy Minister of Defense, Danny Danon, called on the international community "to end all aid to the Palestinian Authority and its Hamas-backed government" as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "cannot continue to claim to want peace with Israel, while at the same time partnering with Hamas as they kidnap and brutally murder teenagers."

 

How right he is, but as long as this abomination of an American president remains in office...and while Israel's domestic security agency has already named two Palestinians...Marwan Kawasma and Amar Abu-Eisha...as the Hamas operatives who kidnapped and MURDERED the three boys...Israel will be on the losing side of any diplomatic actions for Israel's hopes and dreams of living in peace are just NOT on the agenda of Barack HUSSEIN Obama or his muslim brethren. 

 

And I leave you with this ancient prayer that has been on the lips of Jewish mourners for centuries...a prayer heard echoing throughout Israel yesterday for the souls of the three boys as they enter forever into God's embrace:

Exalted and hallowed be God's great name in the world which God created, according 
to plan.

May God's majesty be revealed in the days of our lifetime and the life of all Israel --speedily, imminently, to which we say Amen.

Blessed be God's great name to all eternity.
Blessed, praised, honored, exalted, extolled, glorified, adored, and lauded be the name of 
the Holy Blessed One, beyond all earthly 
words and songs of blessing,praise, and 
comfort. To which we say Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, 
and life, for us and all Israel,
to which we say Amen.

May the One who creates harmony on high,     
bring peace to us and to all Israel.
To which we say Amen.
