Finally, someone gets it. President Donald Trump has implicitly determined peace between Israel and the Palestinians are impossible when the latter refuses to accept the existence of the former.
Let’s stop pretending the PLO is an honest broker
and accept them for the homicidal maniacs they are. This murderous regime must be ostracized and
that’s exactly what the Trump administration is doing. Here is an excerpt from an article by
Caroline Glick:
The
PLO is disoriented, panicked and hysterical. Speaking to Newsweek this
week, Saeb Erekat, PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas’s chief conduit to Israel and the
Americans, complained that since President Donald Trump was sworn into office,
no administration official had spoken to them.
“I don’t know any of them [Trump’s advisers]. We have sent them letters, written messages. They don’t even bother to respond to us.”
“I don’t know any of them [Trump’s advisers]. We have sent them letters, written messages. They don’t even bother to respond to us.”
The Trump
administration’s shunning of the PLO is a marked departure from the policies of
its predecessor. For former president Barack Obama, together with Iran, the
Palestinians were viewed as the key players in the Middle East. Abbas was the
first foreign leader Obama called after taking office.
Erekat’s
statement reveals something that is generally obscured. Despite its deep
support in Europe, the UN and the international Left, without US support, the
PLO is irrelevant.
All the achievements the P.L.O racked up under Obama – topped off with the former president’s facilitation of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 against Israel – are suddenly irrelevant. Their impact dissipated the minute Trump took office.
Israel, in contrast, is more relevant than ever.

What a difference an administration makes.
