Trump Offers Palestinians Peace and a State; Abbas Calls Him an SOB, Vows to 'Escalate' Resistance

President Trump, speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, unveiled his long-awaited "Deal of the Century" plan Tuesday afternoon, offering Palestinians a state and fifty billion dollars.

Prospects for that are not good, as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas recently refused to take a call from Trump, and called him "a dog, son of a b**ch, a violent man who wants to force us into a program we're not interested in." Abbas crowed: "They called me from Washington and I did not pick up the phone. I said no and I will continue to say noWe are going for difficult days and we are beginning to bear the consequences of the refusal. Resistance must be escalated at all points of friction. All young people must be encouraged."

Abbas is passing up a better deal than the Palestinians have been offered for years.

Trump's vision of a Palestinian state would be larger than Palestinian-controlled territory now, as Trump spoke about the "Territorial sacrifices that Israel is willing to make for peace."

Abbas also must know, somewhere in his dark little heart, that a Palestinian state would simply be a new base for more jihad attacks against Israel, as the withdrawal from Gaza demonstrates.

Trump said his plan would "Resolve the risk of Palestinian statehood to Israel's security." Trump said a "Two-state solution" would involve "No incremental security risk" to Israel.

The Palestinians are extremely unlikely to accept the Trump peace plan because of Islamic imperatives that mandate that Islam must dominate and not be dominated, and that any land that once was ruled by Islamic law must be ruled by Islamic law forever.
