Plain truth from Trump:
The Muslim world must correct an historic error and finally recognize the Jewish state, President Donald Trump said Tuesday as he unveiled his long-anticipated “deal of the century” for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “It’s time for the Muslim world to fix the mistake of 1948 and recognize Israel,” Trump said.
The “Muslim world” has tormented Israel from the day of its birth in 1948 because it was a Jewish state. Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon immediately launched attacks against Israel. To this day, the goal of obliterating Israel is still in the PLO, Palestinian Authority, Fatah, and Hamas Charters. This should be removed if any peace is ever to be hoped for, but it should be obvious that peace is not the goal of the Palestinian leadership and its supporters, as is evident from the routine chants of “From the River (Jordan) to the Sea (Mediterranean), Palestine will be free.”
Recognizing Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state is a stumbling block for the Muslim world.
Although Trump’s Deal of the Century can be commended, the Palestinian leadership is unlikely to be able to surrender its vicious Jew-hatred — enshrined in Islamic belief — not to mention its decades of profiteering from its fake victimhood, which has seen billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money internationally go into the coffers of Palestinian jihadists, so that they could continue murdering Israelis.
“Trump: Time for Muslim World to Fix Mistake of 1948 By Recognizing Israel,” by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, January 28, 2020:
The Muslim world must correct an historic error and finally recognize the Jewish state, President Donald Trump said Tuesday as he unveiled his long-anticipated “deal of the century” for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“It’s time for the Muslim world to fix the mistake of 1948 and recognize Israel,” Trump said.
Recognition was also one of the conditions for the Palestinians to finally receive their own state under the plan for what Trump called “a realistic two-state solution.”
Israel would have full control of Jerusalem and of settlements, he said, and “Jerusalem will remain Israel’s undivided capital.”
He later added, however, that “eastern Jerusalem” would be the capital of the Palestinian state. The Palestinians would get peripheral neighborhoods in Jerusalem that are already outside the Israeli security fence, namely Kfar Aqab, Abu Dis and some of Shuafat.
The U.S. would “work to create a territory for a contiguous Palestinian state in the future” that would “reject terrorism,” he said.
The flashpoint holy site of the Temple Mount would remain under the current status quo overseen by Jordan’s Islamic Waqf. Israel would continue working with the Jordanians to allow Muslim prayer at the Al Aqsa Mosque.
“This vision for peace is fundamentally different from past diplomacies,” Trump said. “Even the most well-intentioned plans were light on factual details and heavy on conceptual framework.”
He added that the 80-page long plan is “the most detailed proposal ever.”
It would “do a lot for the Palestinians or it just wouldn’t be fair,” he said.
The plan sees borders for a future Palestinian state that would see Israel making “territorial sacrifices for the sake of peace,” he said.
The proposal “more than doubles Palestinian territory,” he said.
“No Palestinians or Israelis will be uprooted from their homes,” he said.
He added that the contiguous Palestinian state would be established such that it “resolves the risk to Israel’s security” and the risk of terror attacks……
