Caroline Glick—Time for the US to walk away from the PLO:
On Tuesday in Bethlehem, the Palestinians demonstrated the choice the Americans now face in their dealings with Fatah – the supposedly moderate PLO faction that controls the Palestinian Authority and the PLO. President Donald Trump and his advisers can play by Fatah’s rules or they can walk away.
On Tuesday a delegation of diplomats from the US Consulate in Jerusalem came to Bethlehem to participate in a meeting of the local chamber of commerce. When they arrived in the city, Fatah members attacked them. Their vehicles with diplomatic license plates were pelted with tomatoes and eggs by a mob of protesters calling out anti-American slogans.
After the Americans entered the hall where the meeting was scheduled to take place, some of the rioters barged in. They held placards condemning America and they shouted, “Americans Out!”
Some of the demonstrators cursed the Palestinians present, accusing them of treason for participating in a meeting with Americans. According to the news reports, the scene became tense and violent. The American officials beat a speedy retreat. As they departed the city, the Fatah rioters continued attacking their cars, kicking them and throwing eggs at them, until they were gone.
The attack on Tuesday was a natural progression.
On Saturday, Fatah members in Bethlehem-area UN camps convened to carry out a very public “people’s tribunal.” Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were tried for “racism” and “bias” against the Palestinians.
The “tribunal” found them guilty and sentenced the president and vice president to death by hanging. Their bodies, the “judges” decided, were to be burned.
In the event, the crowd burned effigies of Trump and Pence.
The implication of the “trial” was clear. Americans like Israelis should be killed.
The burning effigies themselves were a natural consequence of PLO and Fatah chief and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s call last month for Trump’s “house to be destroyed.”

SnyderTalk Comment:
Our country should have walked away from the PLO long ago. Thankfully, President Trump is willing to do it. Despite PLO corruption, none of his predecessors could summon up the courage to tell PLO leaders what they desperately need to hear.
Palestinian leaders have proven over decades of time that they can’t be trusted and that they are purveyors of violence. Their followers willingly and enthusiastically go along and do what they are told.
So much for the average Palestinian on the street being different.
I don’t think Palestinian leaders are bluffing about their desire to wreak havoc in the U.S. and Israel, and I know that President Trump isn’t bluffing. This time, Palestinians will pay. They deserve it.
President Trump didn’t create this problem. Palestinian leaders have never wanted peace with Israel. They are desperately afraid that they may actually have to sign a peace deal if our president insists that they must.
If I were in their shoes, I would be afraid, too.
Palestinian leaders have been preaching Israel-hate and Jew-hate for about 50 years. If a Palestinian leader signs a peace deal with Israel, he’s a dead man. His followers will kill him, and he knows it.
They won’t just kill him. They will string him up and field dress him in the city square.
I’m not exaggerating for effect. Palestinians love brutal torture as a part of their killing.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
