    Trump says in a pair of tweets that, “we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue … peace treaty with Israel.”

    He adds that, “with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?”

    Trump infuriated many when he announced late last year that the U.S. would consider Jerusalem the capital of Israel and move its embassy there.

    Trump has long said he wants to broker Mideast peace, calling it “the ultimate deal.”

    Great the list is getting greater.

    Paris accords
    The UN
    Pakastain
    Palestine

    And we also have a reduction in state department personal which the fake news cries about all day.

    Can we pass another tax cut? It looks like we have the money to pay for it!

    It has been true for decades that the money being provided to the PA did not accomplish its purpose. It was intended to support the development of infrastructure, the conduct of a democratically elected government, and engagement in peaceful interactions with Israel. None of these ever happened. No development of plumbing, sewer systems, electricity, building and housing. Zero. It went into creating weapon systems, and into making the elite richer, while providing nothing to its own people, except for the reward salaries to terrorists. Not exactly civil. Not exactly productive. Not exactly the target and mission.

    Meanwhile, the PA sings on stage about its poverty, and its desire to take away what belongs to Israel. Obama liked that song, because he was a lover of terror and hater of Israel. That’s how he began his administration, and how he ended it with the mega payoff to Iran. May his memory be forgotten.

    Finally a president that withholds support for terror. Thank you Trump, and thank you Haley. May Hashem bless you.

    The ‘great deal maker’ has once again fouled things up. His ‘easy’, ‘day one’ Mid-East peace deal has blown up with more violence on the horizon. He can’t be let off the hook for this failed promise. And son-in-law Kushie was his chief negotiator? What a failure he is.

    Might as well. The US no longer has an interest in having influence with them. I suppose this is a part of the plan to let the Chinese and Russian run the world.

    Wow. The Israelis are a sample of peace. What a joke! While I dont care what the Palestinians get from our govt, the Israelis are not in any way showing any sign of compromise. Trumps been feeding them all along so of course theyre on his good sign. Try touching Bibi with his illegal settlements and hel jump. Its all bogus.
