Kushner says there’ll be no Palestinian recognition if peace plan goals unmet
[IsraelTimes] US presidential advisor Jared Kushner says that if Paleostinians are unable to meet the conditions of the new Middle East peace plan he crafted, Israel should not take "the risk to recognize them as a state."

The plan laid out by Kushner, President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
’s son-in-law, and unveiled Tuesday was warmly embraced by Israel but curtly dismissed by the Paleostinian Authority along with others in the region, including the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
Kushner is challenged by CNN host Fareed Zakaria in a program aired Sunday to explain why demands made of the Paleostinians before they are given a state ‐ a free press, free elections, religious freedom, an independent judiciary and a reliable financial system ‐ did not amount to "a killer amendment."

"There is no Arab country that would meet these criteria, certainly not Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, Egypt" or other countries Kushner has worked with closely, Zakaria says.

Kushner replied that the Paleostinian territories amount to "a police state... not exactly a thriving democracy."

"For the Paleostinians, if they want their people to live better lives, we now have a framework to do it," he says.

"If they don’t think they can uphold these standards, then I don’t think we can get Israel to take the risk to recognize them as a state."

Kushner adds: "The only thing more dangerous than what we have now is a failed state."

Pals already are a failed state, it is just nobody is willing to admit it.
