Ali Abunimah discusses Jared Kushner’s presentation of his peace plans’economic portion in Bahrain. He dangled fifty billion dollars for the Palestinian economy, but no freedom, political rights, nor an end of the Israeli occupation. Talking about Jared Kushner’s conference about the Peace to Prosperity Workshop, he (Jared Kushner) said President trump have not given up on the Palestinians. The Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner argued this week that US President Donald Trump’s deal may be the Palestinians’ last hope for peace in the Middle East. However, after examining the details of the deal, many are contending that it is unlikely to lead to any changes in the status quo. Abu Nimah emphasizes that the anger expressed surrounding the peace deal “steams from the US sort of formally giving everything to Israel or saying Israel should have everything. “If you don’t accept this as a major opportunity for Palestinians and a major step forward, then I just think you have unrealistic expectations, and again, you are probably stuck with the people, “Kushner told CNN’s Christianne Amanpour in a video interview that surfaced earlier that week. “The point I would stress is how little different this is from really every other so-called peace proposal. The basic approach has always been: ‘If only the Palestinians would surrender all their rights, then there would be no problem,’” Abunimah said. “The point I would stress is how little different this is from really every other so-called peace proposal. The basic approach has always been: ‘If only the Palestinians would surrender all their rights, then there would be no problem,’” Abunimah said. Abunimah said that while Trump’s approach has been similar to those of past administrations going back to US President Bill Clinton, 45 is able to advance toward his goals because “he’s been willing to come out and say openly what others and not willing to say openly.” “The Bush administration and the Obama administration basically agreed that Israel would get all the big settlements. Trump agrees with that,” he noted. “We’re quibbling about small issues. The key thing here is the continuity in the anti-Palestinian, American approach.” Speaking of the impact the deal will have, Abunimah predicted that there will be a “continuation of the status quo” because of the international community’s hypocrisy when it comes to Israel. He noted that Israel annexed Jerusalem under Israeli law in 1981 and proceeded to do the same with the Golan Heights in the years that followed. However, the US and EU did not issue sanctions against the nation, despite the annexations being violations of international law. Instead, the Trump administration has recognized both claims by Israel as legitimate or de facto legitimate. Abunimah highlighted that the US, Canada and the EU introduced sanctions against acting Governor of Sevastopol Milhail Razvozhaev and additional officials “who organized local elections in what the US and European Union refer to as “illegally annexed Crimea” at the same time Trump’s peace plan was introduced. “This is the same European Union, the same United States, that have done nothing but reward Israel and embrace the Israeli officials … who are pushing annexation, who are building settlements, who are demolishing Palestinian homes and so on, and so forth,” he said. Abunimah said he isn’t convinced because due to some facts, Jared Kushner has talked about increasing the Palstianian GDP and cutting unemployment, according to the world bank,a millitary’s restriction has affected the palestianian business and agriculturewhich has reduced the country’s economy by 35 percent. So ending Israelis’s military restriction absolutely increae the Palestinian GDP by 35 percent boost. But this plan isn’t looked upon, as unemployment in Gaza, Palestine is over 50 percent,and close to 80 percent for graduates. Not of lack of investment, but of Israelis blockage and Kushman is not looking into that. Infact, most of the top officials in Trump administration support this blockage, and are very happy the Israelis are creating a demarcation between the Israelites and the Palestinians. They also support everything that destroys the Palestinians’ economy, things that plunge millions of Palestinian into poverty and prevent Palestinians from thriving . Also, Abunimah said the Palestinian don’t need Kushman’s charity, but liberation from attacks and oppressions.
