US proposed Abu Dis as future Palestinian capital, says former Hamas chief
Middle East Eye ^ | Tuesday 26 December 2017 | MEE staff

Posted on 12/28/2017 8:41:28 PM PST by SunkenCiv

Hamas’s former chief in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, said during a meeting in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday that the movement had received information of a US plan to offer Palestinian leaders a state with its capital in Abu Dis, a Palestinian village near East Jerusalem... connected to the Al-Aqsa compound in East Jerusalem with a bridge. The plan also proposed dividing the West Bank into three sections and creating an autonomous region in the Gaza Strip. Abu Dis, a small rural community overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem to the southwest and the Jordan Valley to the east, had been suggested by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the future Palestinian capital, as reported in the New York Times on 3 December... Commenting on Trump's move, Haniyeh said: "The recent US decision on Jerusalem is part of ongoing efforts to terminate the Palestinian cause within the context of a so-called 'deal of the century.'" The move "has implications for the reconfiguration of the entire region and the [Arab and Muslim] nation… which will come at the expense of Jerusalem and Palestinian rights," added Haniyeh... The suggestion that the Palestinian capital could instead be Abu Dis contradicts the Oslo Accords of 1993 that foresaw East Jerusalem as the eventual capital of a future state... After Oslo, the PA started the construction of a headquarter for the Palestinian Legislative Council in Abu Dis because of its proximity to Jerusalem, but the planned parliament project was halted by the second intifada and the separation wall.

The silly bastard hasn't figured out that it's a take it or leave it kind of deal -- there won't be further offers, or any interest in a counteroffer. That's mostly a consequence of the "Palestinians'" past practice of not implementing any aspect in any negotiated agreement.

[snip] It was once a small rural village, noted for its fields of olive trees and spectacular views, overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem to the south-west and the Jordan Valley to the east. But now Abu Dis is a name spoken by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as a potential capital of a future Palestinian state, as reported in the New York Times on 3 December. [/snip]

VERY bad idea. Why should these ignorant hate filled murderers rate a "state" of their own for their atrocious behavior? And one OVERLOOKING Jerusalem would make it ideal to send rockets raining down on Jerusalem. What a stupid idea. Of course, an A-rab thought of it, so it figures. And of course, it ain't in their backyard, is it?

Arab Palestine (Jordan) already has a capital.

UNR 181 lays out the boundaries rather clearly. Those are the only internationally recognized boundries.

God doesn’t want his land divided. Unfortunately, 80% of the earth’s population will have to be wiped out before the “community of nations” understands that God ain’t foolin around.

There are already 22 Arab states. The world does not need another.

So? Screw the Oslo Accords. The idea that "Palestinians" are a separate nationality deserving of a homeland is absurd - these people already have a homeland and it's called Jordan. The fact that they are being offered yet another territory to ruin is an undeserved bonus - and any notion that this new territory should have any claim on any part of Jerusalem is fantasy.

“has implications for the reconfiguration of the entire region and the [Arab and Muslim] nation… which will come at the expense of Jerusalem and Palestinian rights,”

Yup. Folks is just plain clamoring to live under the PA’s rule. Can’t get enough of that kleptocracy. Nosirreebob. Those Jooos! have made Jerusalem into a third-world hell hole. Can’t hardly even offer an official a bribe without getting cuffed.

Will they get to continue destroying the Mount of Olives tombs? They haven’t wrecked Yoselle Rosenblat’s grave yet, and there might be a few sages and prophets here and there whose final resting place hasn’t been defiled.

There is no such thing as a Palestinian.

They would be more accurately termed “North Egyptians”.

The Muslims rejected that in 1947 both formally officially and by invading Israel. It was doa and has no legal effect. Anyone who tries to advocate dredging that worthless old UnitedNazis bs up now needs intensive mental health care

Muslim Ottoman empire left the Judea and Samaria area, along with the rest of Israel established after WW1, a barren wasteland.

Good to see the Pali’s will have a clean slate to finish their Capital

about 10 percent are Christian, actually (and are protected from Muslim attacks if they are in Israel)... please don’t fall in love with the enemy because they have a few Christians in the territories they’ve seized... the Muslims are slaughtering, bombing and knifing Christians throughout the middle east including tons of force and intimidation in the areas under PLO and Hamas control, plus actual burning alive and crucifixions in Iraq and Syria
(by comparison, there are only very rare attacks by errant Christians or Jews on each other, or on Muslims for that matter....99 percent of the Christians and Jews and Druze are civilized....)

It will never happen. There is no way in Hell that the Jihadi would ever accept Statehood. If they did, they could no longer hide behind the Occupied laws. Accept Statehood today, fire a rocket tomorrow, and be wiped from the face of the earth the day after when Israel declares war because they were attacked from a neighboring STATE.

It’s not “resistance” when you are a State instead of an illegal immigrant who is on “occupied territory”.

Please, PLEASE, declare Statehood you Muslim invaders!
When the smoke clears, there truly will be peace.

Don’t think for a second Trump does not know this. And don’t think for a second this BS claim by the Jihadi is true. They lost face big time with Trump, and in the Muslim world, you loose face, you are replaces by a bigger bolder liar than you were.

This is panic in the ranks of the Israel based Islamic pestilence.
