For more than a decade Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has refused to negotiate with Palestinian leadership. He has continued to take land which was under dispute by both Israel and the Palestinian people. Retired Israeli generals have expressed their concern for the manner in which Netanyahu has become an autocratic ruler.

Trump’s actions have made the Middle East a much more dangerous region. He talks about peace, but his actions are virtually a declaration of war. By becoming the first American president to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, he has angered not only the Palestinians, but much of the world. He has removed funding for the Palestinian people, and is now threatening to remove additional support if they refuse to negotiate with the man who has revealed himself as the enemy of the people of Palestine, and refusing any negotiations which might create a lasting peace in the reason. Once again Trump is proving that he knows nothing about international affairs.

Trump accused the Palestinians of “disrespecting” the US, and said: “Why should we do something for them when they do nothing for us?” His un-presidential response is always ‘quid pro quo.’

Trump is placing all of the responsibility on the Palestinians while giving Netanyahu a free pass. Could it be because Netanyahu offered praise to Trump in a previous meeting? Trump’s ego is priority number one.

He continued his attempts to bully the Palestinians.

“That money is on the table and it’s not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace,” he said, sitting beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I can tell you that Israel does want to make peace and they’re [the Palestinians] going to have to want to make peace too or we’re going to have nothing to do with it any longer.”

Once again president dumbass is revealing his ignorance.

Netanyahu does not want peace, he wants land. He will never cease his criminal actions until he controls every square foot of the region. This is why Trump supports him with lies. He does not admire great leaders, he admires dictators.

The United Nations as a group, including many western European nations, have recognized Palestine’s right to statehood. Only the United States and Israel reject this edict.

Trump is not a leader, he is a bully. Time to put the bully down. Remove Republicans from office and destroy Trump.
