- Zionist ‘666’ Israel is a Satanic counterfeit. It is NOT the Israel of the Bible. It is a Satanic LIE, HERESY! Emphasis mine:

The Nakba Continues
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S MUCH-AWAITED “Deal of the Century” Middle East peace plan looks like a blatant attempt to wield an economic stick to browbeat the Palestinian leadership into forgoing their national aspirations.
–
The proposal is due to be rolled out in stages, with the first step an investment “workshop” in Bahrain—titled “Peace to Prosperity”—in late June. The event will seek to gin up tens of billions of dollars, mostly from oil-rich Gulf states, to underwrite a later stage, when it is assumed the White House will put forward its political proposals.
–
The move appears to be designed to implicate the Arab states in this betrayal, effectively locking them in as partners with the Trump administration against the Palestinians.
–
The unexpected decision by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to hold fresh elections in September, forced on him by one of his prospective coalition partners, has undoubtedly thrown a wrench in Washington’s timetable for the peace plan’s roll-out—much to the evident irritation of President Trump himself. He said he was “not happy” about the new elections and warned Israeli politicians to “get their act together.”
–
However, U.S. officials have said the Bahrain Conference will go ahead as planned. Jonathan Tobin, a columnist for the Israeli daily Haaretz, noted that the Trump administration’s peace plan was integral to U.S. efforts to build a regional coalition with Arab states against Iran and would be difficult to jettison.
…
The investment conference follows a series of U.S. blows to the Palestinians. They include the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital by moving its embassy there, to shutter the PLO’s embassy in Washington, and to defund the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, and the USAID mission to the West Bank and Gaza.
–
Israel, meanwhile, has added to the Palestinians’ economic troubles since February by withholding a portion of the taxes it collects on behalf of the Palestinians, and which it is obligated under the Oslo Accords to pass on to the Palestinian Authority.
…
Greenblatt sought to reassure neighboring Egypt and Jordan that they would not shoulder the burden. He discounted rumors that Gaza’s Palestinians would be encouraged to move to the Sinai, in a land swap that would allow Israel to annex parts of the West Bank, or that Jordan would find itself recast as an alternative Palestinian homeland.
–
The Jordanian king is in a particularly precarious situation if the plan is seen as a sell-out of the Palestinians, given that a majority of his population is Palestinian and that the country is already suffering from simmering discontent.
…
A land corridor, doubtlessly overseen by Israeli military contractors the Palestinians must pay for, is supposed to connect Gaza to the West Bank. Confirming earlier reports of the Trump administration’s plans, Gaza would be opened up to the world, and an industrial zone and airport created in the neighboring territory of Sinai.
–
The land—its extent to be decided in negotiations—would be leased from Egypt. Helpfully for Israel, such a move risks gradually encouraging Palestinians to view Sinai as the center of their lives—another way to undermine life in Gaza.
