Caldera (the fired writer) Wrote:“There was a time when the liberals in the press fought hard to protect free speech. How they fight hard to mandate speech because, heaven forbid, someone be offended or have their feelings hurt. It’s okay people get offended in fact; I encourage it. It means we are being challenged. It’s not hate speech. It’s speech. It used to be the press was all about.”

Fine, we all could have foreseen Palestinians heavily disliked the peace plan Trump had proposed recently but isn't it a bit extreme to cut ties with those nations altogether!? O_o?

Way more extremist since I was home and watched the Joint Announcement by Netanyahu and Trump about the deal.  It expressed (and I'm actually copying from the official Peace Accord itself)

1. Meets the security requirements of the State of Israel;
   
2.  Delivers significant territorial expansion to the Palestinians;
   
3.  Takes into account the State of Israel’s valid legal and historical claims;
   
4.  Avoids forced population transfers of either Arab or Jews;
   
5.  Enhances mobility for both Israelis and Palestinians within their respective states;
   
6.  Provides pragmatic transportation solutions to address the needs of the Israeli and Palestinian enclaves that are  described below;
   
7.  Enhances the commercial viability and economic independence of the State of Palestine,
   
8.  Provides for a potentially significant expansion of Gaza to enhance its development and success; and
   
9.  Facilitates the integration of the State of Palestine into the regional and global economy.
   

These are all nine points in Chapter Four of the actual 'Peace to Prosperity' accord handling national borders. No more. No less.  So when I read some newspapers say Israel is taking land FROM Palestine, I knew it was a lie. Point #2 confirms that they're lying.

With that in mind, I could only assume that Hamas is embedded with the Palestinian government.
