ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, about the time of the U.S. elections for president, the PLO/PFLP in Ramallah said it was ready to negotiate with Israel.
Ramallah’s negotiators told the world they were prepared to resume negotiations with Israel with a third country to mediate.
Now, the leadership in Ramallah has reneged.
What could have caused this sudden change of heart?
WHAT HAPPENED INDEED.
Until about three weeks ago, a U.S. President was lining up Muslim countries to make “normalization” agreements with Israel.
- UAE signed on.
Bahrain signed on.
Sudan is signing on.
Even Saudia Arabia is entertaining the idea of formal normalization with Israel.
Abu Mazen and the PLO/PFLP were being left in the cold.
So, seeing the writing on the wall, Abu Mazen ordered a return to the negotiating table
BUT THEN
But then Joe Biden won — stole if you prefer — the election.
Biden was vice president to a previous president.
That president was pro-Muslim and anti-Israel.
He had been a student at a madrasa, and he was one of Jeremiah Wright’s congregants for many years. Wright is the preacher who asked god to damn America.
He made that perfectly clear by
* Snubbing Israel’s prime minister
* Funding UN organizations that served ONLY the “Palestinians”
* Sending a US$221 million gift to Ramallah on his last day as president.1
* Having the U.S. abstain from the annual UN Israel bashing 2
Stands to reason
With Biden expected to bring back Obama’s disastrous-for-America and disastrous for Israel policies, and with far left Harris-Emhoff waiting in the wings to take over the government when Biden is either pushed out or carried out, Abu Mazen had a change of heart.
He no longer wants to negotiate with Israel.
There is no need to negotiate with Israel; the Democrats have his back.
Unlike the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iran is not a DIRECT threat to either Ramallah or Gaza.
But, if Iran acts on its promise to obliterate Israel, then both Ramallah and Gaza will be counted as “collateral damage.”
Saudi Arabia already is in danger of losing access to U.S. weapons to use in its fight with Iran-backed rebels attacking the kingdom from Yemen.
Israel cannot protect these Muslim countries threatened by another Muslim country. Would any of them come to Israel’s aid if it is attacked … by Iran or any other rogue state. Rhetorical question.
MEANWHILE there are those close to Biden and Harris-Emhoff that are pressing to remove President Trump’s supplemental sanctions on Iran. Granted, while the sanctions have hurt Iran financially, like Hitler before him, the ayatollah will spend his country into a depression before he will give up his grand scheme to blow up parts of the world (the Big Satan and the Little Satan – and anything nearby).
Nobody knows
At this point, no one really knows what Biden (or his handlers) are thinking. Anyone who claims he will, or won’t, do this or that is simply gazing into a cracked crystal ball.
There’s a better chance of predicting what Harris-Emhoff will do when she moves into the White House.
She was a senator only a brief time, but established herself as one of the most liberal — if not the most liberal, left-wing — members of the senate.
The question now is: Will Harris-Emhoff win election to the presidency after completing Biden’s term?
America and Israel are in for a fraughtful four years.
