The occupier doesn’t allow ANY gathering of more than ten people without permission. The possibilty that they could protest poses an existential threat to the “Jewish democracy”.

The sooner the reality of a single binational state is accepted the better. They can’t or won’t move a few people out of mobile homes and shacks in Amona so there’s no chance that anyone else will move. I wish the charade of hoping that somehow Israel will wake up and realize the mess it’s created and change would cease . To paraphrase what Gideon Levy who wrote last year, whoever replaces Netanyahu will likely be much more extreme . Israeli prime ministers have consistently refused to set out a view of what Israel will be like in 25 years . It’s time to ponder how a binational democratic Israel is going to survive.

So anyone convinced that Trump will be fair towards the Palestinians, and that the deal they will be offered will be acceptable by them? Or will it simply be a token gesture to show the world they were offered a “generous” deal, and that they turned it down, blaming them as usual?
The Palestinians are going to lose in all ways, and Israel will manipulate Trump to help them lose.
Jared Kushner will be the tool they will use to hammer those poor people.
“U.S. President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that peace between Israel and the Palestinians could only be reached through direct negotiations. In their first phone call since Trump took office, the U.S. president invited Netanyahu to Washington on February.
“[P]eace between Israel and the Palestinians can only be negotiated directly between the two parties,” Trump told Netanyahu, adding that “the United States will work closely with Israel to make progress towards that goal.”
