Leaked information shows Trump's so-called deal of the century is a one-sided scam, favoring Israel at the expense of fundamental Palestinian rights.

The so-called peace process is the greatest hoax in modern times, along with the US war OF terror worldwide, not on it.

Israeli/Palestinian no-peace/peace plans have been around since the 1970s, a near-half century of failure to reach accommodation proof positive of US/Israeli unwillingness to respect Palestinian rights.

If both countries wanted conflict resolution with Palestinians, it would have happened long ago.

Former Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir explained why not. He and his predecessors wanted forever talks accomplishing nothing giving Israel time to steal all valued Palestinian land.

His successors to the present day followed the same strategy.

Since Israel seized control of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza in 1967, colonizing and developing the most valued Palestinian land for exclusive Jewish use became official state policy explained by Yigal Allon's regional scheme, its elements including:

  • permanent militarized occupation;
  • maximum land for Jews with minimum Arabs;
  • dispossessing Palestinians from areas Israel wants for exclusive Jewish development and use;
  • annexing all valued parts of Judea and Sumaria;
  • controlling Jerusalem as Israel's exclusive capital;
  • establishing settlements, military bases, free-fire zones, commercial locations, tourist sites, nature reserves, no-go areas, Jews-only roads, checkpoints, other barriers, and other exclusive Jewish areas non-Jews excluded from them;
  • stealing Palestinian resources; and
  • cracking down hard on resisters.

The above policies make peace, stability, equity and justice for Palestinians unattainable.

Achieving them defeats the US/Israeli agenda dependent on endless regional conflicts and instability.

It's why decades of peace plans when unveiled were dead on arrival, Trump's let em eat cake deal of the century dead before arrival.

Partly introduced last June at a so-called "Peace to Prosperity Workshop" in Bahrain, the Trump regime's dog and pony PR show was boycotted by Palestinians.

Deceptively billed as "a vision to empower the Palestinian people to build a prosperous and vibrant Palestinian society," the economic plan has nothing to do with peace, equity and justice for long-suffering Palestinians, and everything to do with one-sidedly serving US/Israeli interests.

Based on what's known so far, subject to fine-tuning, Trump's overall scheme ignores fundamental final status issues, especially real Palestinian self-determination free from Israeli occupation and control, Israeli land theft, air and water rights, other resources, the right of diaspora Palestinians to return to their homeland, and East Jerusalem as exclusive Palestinian capital.

He illegally recognized Jerusalem (a UN-established international city) as Israel's exclusive capital, moved the US embassy there, abandoned a legitimate two-state solution, recognized Israel's unlawful Golan annexation, and no longer considers illegal settlements occupied territory.
