President Trump announces a Mid-East Peace Plan
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I played for you the President's announcement of a peace plan for the Middle East.
He noted, and this is significant, both Benjamin Netanyahu and his opposition have signed on to the plan.
So this is not a, quote, right-wing Israeli plan.
This is an Israeli and hopefully Palestinian plan.
I don't think the Palestinians have always rejected every offer, even the one that Bill Clinton signed with Yasser Arafat.
And he blamed Arafat for blowing it up.
By the way, you will probably see some terrorism against Israelis in the near future.
Whenever there is a peace plan, there's terrorism.
People don't care about truth.
As a general rule, People want to believe what they want to believe.
It's too painful to really think that most Palestinians don't want peace with Israel.
They want peace without Israel.
See, that's what people don't understand.
Do Palestinians want peace?
Yes.
Do you want peace with Israel?
No.
I spoke at Stanford many years ago.
I'll never forget.
I spoke at a pro-Israel rally.
And there was an anti-Israel rally close by.
So a woman came over to me, told me how wrong I was, and that's fine.
Somehow I can deal with that.
So I said to her, go over there, because it was mostly Palestinian and Muslim students, and this was a white American woman.
I said, ask them if they want peace with a Jewish state of Israel.
She said, they want peace.
I said, okay, just ask them, do you want peace with the Jewish state of Israel?
Do you recognize that there would be a Jewish state?
So she came back about a half hour later.
I said, well, what did they say?
She said, they said, what do you mean?
I said, that's my point, ma'am.
That's exactly right.
They won't answer yes.
So I assume that they will reject this as well.
Israel's existence is an insult in their eyes.
Better to be poor, better to not have complete liberty, better to languish and have refugee camps than have a Jewish state to live alongside of.
My video for PragerU, the first one I made was on the Middle East.
What is it called, the Middle East conflict?
The Middle East problem.
It's gone viral.
Many, many, many millions of views.
And my recurring theme is one side wants the other side dead.
And that's the Middle East problem in a nutshell.
The Israelis do not want the Palestinians dead.
The Palestinians would like the Israelis dead, or certainly Israel dead.
If you deny that, it's either because you don't care about truth, or you went to graduate school.
Those are the only two possibilities.
So anyway, that's what will happen there.
