Way to talk down to the Palestinians..."willing to talk with them" lol. You'll be more than lucky if after what Trump did with the embassy they even let you in the territory.

How does the USA expect that the Palestinians will view a Jewish mediator (Kushner) meeting with Netanyahu (rabid Zionist) and U.S. Ambassador David Friedman (another Jew known for his hard-line pro-settle position) to discuss the fate of occupied Palestine? May as well not even bother with the pretense that the USA cares about the whole issue...it would be more honest.

The Trump "peace plan" is a plan for total war.

Ah, yes, Trump's peace plan, let me guess.

***Give occupied East Jerusalem to the Israelis, even though occupying powers exercise no legal sovereignty over the territory they occupy.

***No right of return for Palestinian refugees, even though the right of refugees to return to their country of origin is fully recognized under international law, specifically the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that states: "Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and return to his country."

***The illegal settlements stay, even though an occupying power transferring its own population into occupied territory for the purposes of colonization is a clear violation of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and constitutes a war crime under the Rome Statute that governs the International Criminal Court.

***And Palestinians are confined to disconnected South African-style Bantustans with limited self-rule where Israel controls the borders and air space, and can re-invade any time it feels like it.

That's not peace, that's colonial pacification.

Well, that's the thing. The US can say "We're willing to talk to the Palestinians, but they're the ones who don't want to have a mature and civilized discussion with us because they are so obsessed with hatred and terror in their hearts against God's chosen ones."

senior adviser,

That's the American English for son-in-law ? It's scary that there is nobody with a little more brain and sense ethics than Mr Ivanka to advise the POTUS on hot diplomatic issues.

Yeah, looks like total war with N.Korea now.

As if Obama did such a bang-up job in the ME. Let's see what happens.

Plan for the Middle East? Let's see - he's making money off these wars over there and he's a traitor satellite of Russia just like Donnydouche. Spare us.
