I'm on mobile so forgive me for not sourcing but Trump has been slashing financial aid to Palestine and Palestinians for weeks, quietly cutting hundreds of millions in funding to various programs.
So much for making Kushner work on peace in the Middle East.
I'm sure that Facepunch's resident IDF will be in soon to tell us why this is totally a good thing.
committing genocide of a people does solve the problem, not that they're actively killing them but its obvious that the US policy now is that the Palistinians are illegitimate people and every little policy change or removal of aid goes further and further to dehumanize them and further drive them down.
Holy shit I forgot about that hahahahaha they legit said a random ass real estate developer from New York was gonna solve the Israeli Palestinian conflict by making great deals
On top of the like five other things Trump put Kushner personally in charge of handling. As far as I know, Kushner has not made significant progress on any of them.
At this point, we've fucked the Middle East up to the point where the most humane choice would be to just pack up and leave it.
The Middle East will sort itself out, once given the time.
They're all terrorists, didn't you hear? A member of Hamas lives within 5km of the hospital, so it's Hamas funded.
You do know that "packing up and leaving" will most likely result in the extermination of Palestine.
It's funny, you could say the exact same thing about the US.
I hope this photo goes down in history as everything wrong with the trump presidency

This man is probably thinking what we're all thinking.
Fuck that, everyone in this picture except for Kushner himself is hurting on the inside.
okay kushner is a complete chode for actually dressing like that but i gotta admit the bulletproof-vest-over-suit look is still pretty cool
the guy who's got so many security flags that he was only able to obtain security clearance by presidential authoirization. He has so many declared foreign contacts that the FBI wouldn't have granted him clearance, especially since he continually lied about them on his forms.
The thing is that trump seems to be randomly slashing aid. I have no problem with him making sure that Palestinian terrorists dont get paid for their terrorism by having the Palestinians be unable to continue with their Martyrs fund but i see no benefits in slashing aid to a private chain of hospitals which dont really associate with any terrorism and work closely with Israeli hospitals like Hadassah. The PA itself isnt really having anything cut which is really confusing, the US is cutting aid for the stuff that doesnt really matter politically but the PA is not really suffering from these cuts. He's demanding a peace deal in exchange for aid being restored but he's not really done anything super damaging to the Palestinians and any damage will just further Palestinian resolve against Israel while also fucking up the unwritten balance that Israel has with the PA. Bibi might be outwardly happy about this but hes losing his shit inwardly.
The Palestinians and Israelites have been fighting each other since the Bible was written.
