Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha. The sole intent of this "plan" is to make the inevitable Palestinian rejection seem "unreasonable". Not that I expect the "liberals" of the Democratic Party leadership to object strenuously. Hell, I bet Schumer is beating himself off to this abomination.

What rage?!? This is EXACTLY what the Israelis want: a plan specifically designed to paint the Palestinians into a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 So Palestine gets to be a semi-autonomous territory if they change their borders to cede land to Israel and restructure their government to Israel's liking? And the whole semi-autonomous territory is only a maybe three years down the line, assuming that Israel approves of all their government changes. If they don't, too bad, Israel gets to keep the land regardless? Am I missing something here? Otherwise, damn me, what a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The deal maker President in action. Not that Trump could ever get the Palestinians to sit down at a table with him. At the same time this is happening, Netanyahu withdrew his request for immunity on corruption charges. Hours later Israel's attorney general filed criminal indictments against Netanyahu. So you've got a US President going through an impeachment trial and an Israeli PM in a criminal corruption case, both facing elections this year. What group could possibly be more ready to finally solve Middle East peace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Those two Palestinian areas to the south of Gaza along the Egyptian border are definitely land swaps for territory in the West Bank because that area of the Negev Desert is currently actual Israeli territory.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Israeli government plans to vote Sunday on annexing 30 percent of the occupied West Bank, official saysI Quote Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to move forward with annexing the Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and the parts of the Jordan Valley addressed in the just-released Trump peace plan on Sunday, according to a government official with knowledge of the matter. The move comes after the announcement of Trump’s plan, which would allow Israel to extend sovereignty over the settlements,bringing them into Israel proper, as well as the Jordan Valley extending north from the Dead Sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is everything Israel wanted short of shipping every Palestinian to Madagascar. Because the only other option is the slow decay towards there being no Palestine at all. More of the Arab people in the region will become Israelis over time and enjoy the benefits of living in a liberal democracy. The only way the Palestinians can actually move forward with building a lasting nation is to agree to the terms the Israelis are offering. They have rejected better deals and the deals keep getting worse because the position of Israel keeps getting better. There is no reason to believe the Israeli position won’t continue to improve over that of the Palestinians. But again, the leaders of the Palestinians aren’t the ones suffering due to rejecting every deal offered for decades now, so what do they care?
