The President fresh off of suspending foreign aid to Pakistan is threatening to suspend foreign aid to the Palestinians.
It's not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing, but also many other countries, and others. As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue…

…peace treaty with Israel. We have taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table, but Israel, for that, would have had to pay more. But with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?

Like the suspension of foreign aid to Pakistan, I’m also supportive of suspending foreign aid to the Palestinians. Of course, in an ideal situation, this would happen in conjunction with a suspension of foreign aid to Israel. Not doing so reveals a transparent bias towards the Zionists.
Unfortunately, Trump’s hostility and agitating rhetoric is only being directed towards enemies of Israel. The Palestinians, Iran and Pakistan all view Israel as an enemy.
The only thing we can hope for is that these agitations will cause the Islamic world to come together and declare a unified front against the Zionists. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that none of these problems are going to be solved until there is a war of some kind.
