Returning to the old arrangement: pressuring our only reliable ally in the Middle East, while coddling and enabling those who would conquer and subjugate us.
“Exclusive: Q&A with Kamala Harris ahead of election,” Arab American News, October 28, 2020:
DEARBORN — Democratic vice presidential nominee and California Senator Kamala Harris visited Metro Detroit last Sunday, making a notable, unannounced stop in Dearborn to grab dinner at the Khalaf Grill. The visit by Joe Biden’s running mate was just one of several visits by both prominent Democratic and Republican candidates in the last few weeks ahead of the critical upcoming general election….
Many Arab voters in Dearborn and Hamtramck hold foreign policy issues important, particularly the Israel and Palestine conflict, Syria, the war on Yemen and others. What can a Biden presidency mean for lasting peace and demands for human rights in the Mid East region? Could we see an end to continued U.S. military engagements in the region?
Joe and I are committed to helping the people of the Arab world meet the challenges they face. The United States cannot dictate the outcomes in other countries, but we do have a responsibility to advance human rights and democratic principles on behalf of all people. We have an obligation to promote universal values and work toward a more peaceful and secure world.
Joe and I also believe in the worth and value of every Palestinian and every Israeli and we will work to ensure that Palestinians and Israelis enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, prosperity and democracy. We are committed to a two-state solution, and we will oppose any unilateral steps that undermine that goal. We will also oppose annexation and settlement expansion. And we will take immediate steps to restore economic and humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people, address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reopen the U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem and work to reopen the PLO mission in Washington.
In Syria, Joe and I will once again stand with civil society and pro-democracy partners in Syria, and help advance a political settlement where the Syrian people have a voice. We will work to protect the most vulnerable Syrians and lead the global coalition to defeat ISIS. And instead of standing by as the government of Saudi Arabia pursues disastrous, dangerous policies, including the ongoing war in Yemen, we will reassess the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia and end support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen….

Open the “East Jerusalem Consulate”? He’ll make it an “Embassy”, and re-build it with a cost of half a Billion Dollars.

And yet, many of America’s secular Jews couldn’t care less about the security of Israel. They buy the leftist fantasy that the Pallies are an ethnicity different from other South Syrians.
Arabs call the whole region ‘Shams’. They only care that Arab Muslims control the region. ‘Others’ will live there as subjugated, second-class dhimmis.

“Big Guy” head of the Biden Crime Family and Kamalareparations aren’t going to be restoring aid and opening consulates anywhere if some of the latest election projections turn out to be accurate. The Fakestinians may just have to wait another election cycle. We can always hope.
James says
More leftist lunacy.
SJ says
Yeah, it’s like financing terrorism.

Harris: Biden will restore aid to ‘Palestinians’ and reopen East Jerusalem consulate and PLO office in DC
………………
Appalling insanity. Get out and vote if you have not already done so.
maria says
Of course . Demented Joe and a a racist and criminal Harris must lose.
And the best president we ever had Donald J. Trump will be re elected
Andrew says
I guess nobody told Kameltoe Harris that there were no such peoples known as Palestinians until the 1960s, named by an Egyptian.
Handing money over to thugs like PA-PLO etc is even worse than a protection racket by the Mafia as the Mafia will kill you ONLY if you dont pay whereas the PLO will kill you even after you pay them.
Unapologetic American says
There is no such thing as a “Palestinian”, they are Jordanians and Egyptians.
maria says
Yes, absolutely. There was no state called “palestina”
L Mayor says
Being aware of the democrat intentions towards the ME, yet still voting democrat, is one of the real puzzling behaviors of so many Jewish Americans (of which I`m one). I attribute it to leftism having replaced Judaism as their religion, with the democrat party being their temple, at which they blindly worship.
SJ says
How would we ensure that the Palestinians won’t misuse the aid for financing terrorism yet again?

Think! That is YOUR hard earned taxes you pay being funneled to support terrorist activities against Israel all by Mr. Abbas and other dealers of death and terror.
Remember that when you hear about a restaurant in Israel being blown up with innocent/uninvolved people being killed with such great violence.
Remember the blood spilled painfully on the floor.
Remember the families and children who will never see their loved one again until they themselves reach their reward.
Remember who helped make this possible whether through a willfully blind sense of humanity or by being rewarded in some surreptitious manner.
REMEMBER.
