US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responded to the unveiling of President Donald Trump’s peace plan by tweeting: “This is not a peace plan. It is theft. It is erasure.” She also retweeted a statement from J Street: “This is an annexation plan, not a plan for peace.”
Later, Omar retweeted a post by If Not Now – a “movement led by young American Jews to end our community’s support for the occupation” – “Trump’s plan is totally and utterly bankrupt and reveals the shameful way that our government has catered to the Israeli right — at the cost of Palestinian freedom — for our entire lives. All people of conscience must publicly reject Trump’s plan for permanent occupation.”
US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) who recently re-tweeted a false blood libel accusation of an Arab child being murdered by Jewish “settlers” and then deleted it without any apology, responded to the peace plan by writing in Arabic: “From Detroit to Palestine: What was announced today is futile and useless, and contrary to all UN resolutions and international legitimacy.”
This is not a peace plan.
It is theft. It is erasure. https://t.co/N2rduGVnze

President Donald Trump unveiled his long-awaited Middle East peace plan Tuesday, calling for the creation of a State of Palestine with its capital in portions of east Jerusalem, saying it is a “win-win” opportunity for both Israel and the Palestinians.
The plan more than doubles the territory currently under Palestinian control, although it also recognizes Israeli sovereignty over major settlement blocs in the West Bank, something to which the Palestinians will almost certainly object. The Palestinians have already rejected the proposal, accusing Trump of being biased in favor of Israel as he has adopted policies that bolster Israel at their expense.

Of course the Palestinians wouldn’t agree to it
What plan have they agreed to?
As a general rule, I find it helpful to read the proposal before I make a recommendation. The Palestinians condemned the plan before they even read it.
I believe the Palestinian leaders are not interested in any plan that would change the status quo and threaten the corruption in the Palestinian government and the handsome sums the leaders take for themselves while leaving the Palestinian people poverty stricken.
At this point I would recommend a campaign of maximum pressure by the Palestinian people to overthrow their government and takes the peace process into their own hands.
These clowns usage of the words “Futile & Useless” is actually very appropriate for them. It brings to mind the words of chaza”l; כל הפוסל במומו פוסל…..
Neither of these two witches has proven to be knowledgeable about foreign affairs. I do not have an ounce of respect for stupid people who opine on subjects where they know nothing.
Without knowledge upon which to base opinions, we are subject to nothing beyond their feelings. And both of these witches are hate filled anti-Semites, with a passion to support terror and to destroy Israel. May both of these evil haters become the targets of terror attacks from within their own. May we all merit watching their fall in disgrace and their demise.
