Trump's Middle East peace plan is 'anything but win-win' for Palestine, says expert

Besides criticizing U.S. negotiators for not seeking "any buy-in whatsoever from the Palestinians," James Moran from the Centre for European Policy Studies says that the peace plan is being used to drum up domestic support for U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Well said general. They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity

Win-win? What a joke!! How about the Israeli live there

it's Austria 1938 all over again - offer terms they know are unacceptable then say you tried and annex the lot - its why they have been trying so hard to knock Iran out the playing and been trying to discredit the ICC.

The apostle Paul gave us this sign; people saying: "Peace and security!" 1Thessalonians 5: 2, 3 so we would know the time was here for the 'sudden destruction' of the arrived Great tribulation. Matthew 24: 21, 22. The 'peace' is not real; as seen in Jeremiah 6: 14; its a sham. But the Great tribulation is manifest with: 'violence pestilence and famine'. Revelation 6:8. The time of this is the 'sunrise', when Iran BOMBS Israel Daniel 11: 44, 45 The 'Medes and the Elamites' Jeremiah 25: 24-26. The leaders of Iran; as seen in Ezra 4: 9. This war is a SHOCKER Daniel 8: 20, 23-25. The financial system suffers a meltdown Psalms 46: 4-6 with the loss of the EURO. Ezekiel 7: 19. This creates another war between Russia and the financially collapsed EU. These are not the only wars. Jeremiah 25: 24-26. The whole world devolves into WRATH Revelation 11: 18 So this is the 'violence', the 'pestilence'has been consuming the news for a while; and the famine is seen in the EU when the Euro collapses Ezekiel 7: 19 and also appears in Africa and other places where a locust invasion is eating the crops of the people. So the SUNRISE Malachi 4: 2 with the appearance of Christ in the brilliant light expressed as a metaphor means the PROTECTION of faithful ones John 3: 16 as seen in Matthew 25: 31, 34. THAT is why this Great crowd survives. Revelation 7:9, 14-17. Psalms 37: 11, 29 Romans 10: 13-15. A small number of people go to heaven, as seen in Matthew 24: 31 and Revelation 5: 10. BUT That's because Jehovah has both heavenly and earthly possessions Ephesians 1: 10; and there is to be a New Heavens, and a New earth, in which 'righteousness dwells' 2Peter 3: 13. CHRIST arrives to protect all the faithful John 3: 16 whether their hope is earthly Psalms 37: 11, 29 or whether their hope is heavenly Revelation 5: 10. Are there people telling you that THEY are all going to heaven; but all of YOU will perish? Well, they are not in charge are they? Christ is in charge Matthew 24: 30. Jehovah's Day of anger arrives Zephaniah 2: 1-11. [See Isaiah 52: 12, 13] That is why you should remain in confidence and in faith, because the 'kings from the rising of the Sun', Jehovah God and Christ Jesus Revelation 16: 12 are arriving to deal with this crisis Personally. These Great Ones do not need the advices of people who are bragging about their trip to heaven.

Where is the origin of Palestine in history? Are they Arabs who visited King Solomon 1000s of years ago?

Let's be honest, it's a starting point. This is a plan that's very favorable to Israel but, it also allows for plenty of room on concessions from Israel. There is room in this plan to give the Palestinians more land back from settlers, the Jordan Valley would also be on the table which could be under joint military protection until Palestine was strong enough to take over the Jordanian border themselves. The right of return is the main sticking issue here. Israel could grant the right of return to a limited number of individuals but, the Palestinians want over 3 million people to be granted that right. This will never happen. Palestine wants the right of return for people displaced after the war of 1948 which the Arab League initiated, if Israel initiated this war I would understand but, Israel is under no obligation to grant land title and citizenship to enemy combatants. So if Palestine wants peace, they will have to forego the right of return, which they will never do. This land will be in turmoil for the foreseeable future.
