henrymakow.com – July 6, 2019

Eric Margolis: “This whole ‘peace deal’ is a big smokescreen  to cover Israeli land expansion and more ethnic cleansing. Many thoughtful Israelis are dismayed by their far right-wing government’s expansionist plans, seeing nothing but more troubles and violence ahead.”
1. Israel steals Palestinian land, homes and businesses. 2. The US convinces the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia to pay off the Palestinians. Shouldn’t Israel be paying reparations here?  I forgot. Israel doesn’t pay for anything.
Palestinians response: First lift the siege and stop stealing land
Trumpites always negotiate with a gun to their adversary’s head. Doesn’t work that well when the adversary is strong.

A Deal No One Will Accept 

by Eric Margolis — (henrymakow.com) 

President Donald Trump’s attempt to sell the Brooklyn Bridge to the Palestinians – using Gulf Arab oil money – has so far been a resounding failure, as was widely predicted.
The so-called ‘Deal of the Century’ turned out to be a shabby swindle.
I watched Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, deliver the first part of his big deal to a bunch of tame Arab oil monarchs and assorted hangers-on. Kushner looked like a nervous sophomore taking a tough oral exam. There were no Palestinians or Israelis present. But Israel’s powerful American backers were watching from the sidelines as their ‘deal’ was enunciated.
Trump’s offer was pure New York City real estate hipper dipper. He would get the rich Gulf Arab states, all of them American protectorates, to offer some $60 billion in payments, credits, loans and other financial inducements to the Palestinian Authority – but nothing to the democratically elected Hamas government in the open-air prison of Gaza that holds two million Palestinian refugees.
