‘Palestinians’ Are Enraged at Trump’s Israel-UAE Deal, Which Means It Must Be Good

Aug 15, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

“The Palestinian leadership rejects and denounces the UAE, Israeli and US trilateral, surprising, announcement,” said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a senior adviser to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. That was just one indication of how welcome, how much of a breath of fresh air, the agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel really is. The Palestinian leadership has encouraged the murder of Israeli civilians and boasted of the ultimate destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jews. If Abbas and company are unhappy, the free world should be happy.

Israel currently has peace agreements with only two Muslim Arab states, Egypt and Jordan, and those are cold friendships indeed, marred by a steady flow of hateful anti-Israel rhetoric in both Arab countries, and worse: Ahlam Tamimi, who aided the 2001 jihad massacre at a Sbarro’s pizza parlor in Jerusalem in which 15 people were murdered and 130 wounded, lives in Jordan, where she is a national hero and a popular television host. The United States has filed charges against her, as Americans were killed in the attack, but Jordan refuses to extradite her.

Words are cheap, but the UAE-Israel rapprochement doesn’t seem, at least at this point, to be a grudging, reluctant, cold peace at all. The official statement announces that “delegations from Israel and the UAE will meet in the coming weeks to sign bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit. Opening direct ties between two of the Middle East’s most dynamic societies and advanced economies will transform the region by spurring economic growth, enhancing technological innovation, and forging closer people-to-people relations.”

To be sure, the agreement is based on a quid pro quo that takes the wind out the sails of Palestinian outrage: “As a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President Trump with the support of the UAE, Israel will suspend declaring sovereignty over areas outlined in the President’s Vision for Peace and focus its efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in the Arab and Muslim world. The US, Israel and the UAE are confident that additional diplomatic breakthroughs with other nations are possible, and will work together to achieve this goal.”

How can the Palestinians object to an agreement that will at very least delay Israel’s assertion of its sovereignty over portions of Judea and Samaria? They’ll certainly find a way, but Trump has now maneuvered them into denouncing something that gives them what they want.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    I was hoping Israel would continue to gradually extend its sovereignty, since there is no possibility of an agreement with the Pallies. This continued stalling will not bring about a settlement. The settlement will eventually have to be imposed. The Pallies will then either take out an Israeli passport or move to Jordan.

        Wow, a “Palestinian” on JW with a functioning brain! This is my first time seeing one, and I salute you good sir/madam. You are 100% correct and I sincerely wish that you do get Israeli citizenship. But you can’t blame the Jews for not wanting to risk letting another possible attacker on their people in; you only have your fellow “compatriots” to blame for that.

        If only the rest of 99.99999999% of “Palestinians” would wake up–as you did–to the fact that you are disposable tools who are worth more dead than alive to your self-elected money-hoarding leaders, you guys wouldn’t have as many problems in life as you do now.

        There’s also the issue of admitting that there is no such thing as “Palestine” and “Palestinian people”… But baby steps, baby steps.

          So you are for Muslim (playing the odds that he is one) immigration? You actually trust Muslims? So he wants a better job. Big deal. That does not mean he can be trusted. Where is trusting Muslims working out for the host non-Islamic nation? No where.

        Are you a Muslim? Muslims should not even be allowed to enter non-Islamic countries. Cultural suicide.

    Palestinians need to understand that they are yesterdays news.

    I heard a commentator here in Australia say, when he was commenting on the Palestinian rejection of and anger at the peace arrangement, “Ah, yes, they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity” for peace to develop. I thought it was spot on about the Palestinians and their belligerent attitude.

      tim gallagher,

      The commentator’s quote regarding the “Palestinians”:

      “…they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity” for peace…”

      Absolutely priceless, thanks for sharing…

        Thanks for the comment, James. The witty comment came from either James Morrow or Rowan Dean, who are two of the three presenters of the “Outsiders” TV program which is on Sky News TV channel on Sunday mornings. The three presenters also include Rita Panahi, who is also excellent. They gather a lot of the rubbish from the loony left on various issues and skewer the idiocy with plenty of humour. I think James Morrow, originally from New York, may have said it when Rowan Dean, originally from England, said that a Jewish group here in Australia had mentioned that the Palestinians had rejected this Trump peace deal and Morrow responded with the comment. I thought it was a very clever comment.

    I hope part of the peace deal is that descendants of an-nakhbar in the UAE will be made eligible for UAE citizenship. One of the greatest obscenities of the ME conflict is that the USA has made citizens of more Falastin Arab refugees and their descendants than any seven Arabic-speaking states (excluding Jordan and Israel itself) put together.
