Trump: Money will be cut off to “Palestinians” if leaders don’t engage in peace negotiations
At last some common sense in the Oval Office. The peace negotiations are useless and foredoomed, of course, but the point here is that President Trump is holding the “Palestinians” accountable, as no President has ever done before.
“We give billions of dollars away every year to countries and in many cases those countries don’t even support us, they don’t support the United States,” Trump said. “Israel has always supported the United States, and so what I did with Jerusalem was my honor, and hopefully we can do something with peace.”
Showering money upon those who hate us has for decades been a staple recommendation of the foreign policy establishment. That establishment needs to be repudiated once and for all.
And the “Palestinians” need not worry: the Europeans will keep the jizya flowing.

Pence announced on Monday the move is planned for 2019….
