Trump Mapping Committee needs to break its deafening silence : Comments

By David Singer, published 24/8/2020

Peace between Jews and Arabs after 100 years of unresolved conflict - promised with President Trump's release of his deal of the century on 28 January - has stalled - with the continuing failure to produce a map.

"And I haven't once mentioned your president so why bring him into our conversation "

Three hours earlier...
"Much of that has dissipated as our fawning over your president increases."

I can see that you are very passionate in your hatred of Israel and that its left you incapable of ration discussion, so I'll leave you to it.

Dear mhaze,

So I did. My apologies. It wasn't on my original document so I have obviously added it prior to posting. I am getting old it seems.

You write: "I can see that you are very passionate in your hatred of Israel and that its left you incapable of ration discussion"

I don't hate Israel rather I hate the treatment of Palestinians by the current, demonstrably corrupt, brutish, Israeli government. The fact that you can't see the difference is an indictment on you my friend.

You have seemingly lost that Australian-ness that I hold in high regard, being able to recognise and call out bullies. Only the most jaundiced would deem Israel the victim here.

Bidyah, Salfit District: Settlers stone Palestinians out strolling, fire shots nearby and threaten to kill villagers who dare return
Majdi

Issa and I.A. from Bidyah wanted to go for a stroll in an open area that locals use for leisure and picnics. The area, known as Khallet Hassan and Khalayel Bidyah, lies about a kilometer and a half north of the village.

On the evening of 30 June 2020, at around 8:00 P.M., the two men, who are in their fifties, drove into the area. About seven armed settlers who were there started approaching the car from some 70 meters away. When they were about 50 meters away, the settlers started firing shots in the air. As the car is not equipped for off-road driving, the two men left it and tried to escape on foot.

The settlers chased 'Issa and I.A., firing shots in the air and at the ground by their feet. They caught up with their victims after about 100 meters and started beating them. When one of the settlers put a gun to ‘Issa’s head and the latter tried to push it away, he fired a shot near his ear. The settlers asked the two men what they were doing there and what they do for a living, and then grabbed them by the shirts and led them forcefully back to the car. On the way, one of the settlers fired several shots close to the two men. Before the settlers left, they warned the two to never come back and ordered them to spread the word in the village: settlers will shoot any Palestinian who dares visit Khallet Hassan and Khalayel Bidyah.

How will a map help them?
