Newsweek ^ | 10/3/18 | Jason Lemon

President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, referred to “the so-called state of Palestine” while discussing the Middle East on Wednesday.

Pressed to clarify his comments, Bolton said: “It’s accurate. It’s not a state.” He then used air quotes when mentioning “Palestine” again.

Unlike the U.S. and 56 other nations, 137 member states of the United Nations officially recognize the Palestinian territories as a sovereign state. In 1948, the U.S. was the first country to officially recognize the state of Israel.

Last month, the Trump administration announced it would shutter the Palestinian mission in Washington, D.C., which Palestinian leaders described as “a declaration of war” on peace efforts

It never was a state, it was the name of a region, at best.

It’s like calling Western New York’ a country

Exactly right, yet stupid people across the globe act like there is some presumptive rights for the Palestinians. Pure BS.

Sorry, President Trump, I’m calling you on your lie: I am NOT tired of winning, and doubt that I ever will be...but keep trying, I’m all about giving people as many shots as they need to get things right.

Falestine is not a state.
and our government should not use either Palestine nor “Palestine” or anything like it.
As far as I am concerned, our government can use “intolerable continuing Arab occupation of Israeli territories”

This is why Bolton is a genius.

It is the "so-called state."

Ask a "Palestinian" WHERE THEY WERE BORN....

Especially the young ones on full scholarships at Harvard and the like... I know this crowd. They will always ultimately fold:

"Well, I identify as Palestinian,"

And and the same is true of Yassir Arafat himself, and almost all the great "Palestinian" scholars.

They are usually western bred and KGB fuelled.

Another nest of frauds:

Columbia University’s

“Center for Palestine Studies,”

http://www.palestine.mei.columbia.edu/

A multi-million (billion?) Dollar institution, funding only radical historian revisionists with dubious backgrounds, focused like a laser on the destruction of Israel and “Global Zionism.”

It's always a curse to pretend that a lie is the truth. It's the effect of digging a deeper and deeper hole.

In 1948, the U.S. was the first country to officially recognize the state of Israel.

It's always a blessing to recognize reality. That's why recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel means winning big.
