The peace process is a delusion. The Palestinian leadership is a jihadist operation which seeks a one-state solution, that is, a Palestinian state in which no Jews live. Anything that offends jihadists is regarded as an unacceptable provocation.
The Palestinian National Charter states:
Israel is a constant source of threat vis-a-vis peace in the Middle East and the whole world. Since the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for the support of all the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland.
And the Palestinian “resistance” routinely chants: “from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.” That is, Israel will be destroyed utterly, which would no doubt lead to a new genocide of the Jews.
Pompeo is the first US Secretary of State to visit Judea and Samaria (a.k.a. the West Bank).
Meanwhile, Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani plans to visit Israel for meetings with both Netanyahu and Pompeo.
“PLO: Pompeo can’t resurrect Trump administration with settler winery visit,” by Tovah Lazaroff, Jerusalem Post, November 15, 2020:
Palestinians warned that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s plan to visit Israeli-held areas in the West Bank sets a dangerous precedent and accused him of seeking future electoral American votes at their expense.
“Listen very carefully @SecPompeo: There is no second term for Trump, the American people. There is no second coming for you in Palestine, the Palestinian people. There is no second chance for war criminals, @IntlCrimCourt,” PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi tweeted.
“Now take your passionate intensity [and] slouch back home!” she wrote on Friday.
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh also condemned Pompeo’s move.“We deplore US Sec. of State Mike Pompeo’s intent to visit the illegal settlement of Psagot, built on lands belonging to Palestinian owners in El-Bireh city, during his visit to Israel next week. This dangerous precedent legalizes settlements [and is] a blow to [international] legitimacy [and] UN [resolutions].”
Political pundits have speculated that the Pompeo visit is one of the opening salvos for a potential White House run in 2024.
The US Embassy in Israel and State Department officials have neither confirmed nor denied the report of a West Bank visit published on the Hebrew news site Walla and on the English website Axios over the weekend.
Pompeo is expected to visit the Psagot Winery in the Binyamin region of the West Bank and Jesus’s baptismal site in the Jordan Valley, as well as the Golan Heights during his visit to Israel later this week, according to the media reports. The Jerusalem Post has learned that Pompeo is indeed weighing a visit to the winery.
If Pompeo goes ahead with his plans, he would be the first US secretary of state and the highest US ranking official to visit a West Bank settlement or the Golan Heights….

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister condemns Pompeo’s planned visit to ‘settlement’ as ‘dangerous precedent’

Time to set precedent, then.
The arrogance of these slime. “Listen carefully…no second term.”
The Proverb is true: “Pride goes before a fall.”
And the misnamed… the so-called Palestinians… moslims, invaders and liars all, do not “own” the land where the “settlements” are located. They never did, and they never will.
The plo, a.k.a. the p.a. is like always…just as in arafat’s time…full of lies and terrorists making threats.
Robert Kriegsma says
Trump and Company blessed Israel on behalf of the USA during the first 4 years of the Trump Presidency. The USA was blessed unprecedented growth during the 4 years of the Trump Presidency except when BLM and Company raised its head ..
There is God’s promise to Abraham: ” I will bless those who bless you and your cursors I will curse.

I wonder how many people see the connection?
