Palestinians disappointed after 'tense' meeting with Kushner
President Trump will reportedly receive a report about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process following a "tense" meeting between White House senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner and leaders about the issue.
The London-based Arabic daily al-Hayat reports that Kushner's meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was “tense,” according to a translation from the Jerusalem Post, and Abbas was reportedly furious at Kushner relaying the demands of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz also reports that Palestinian officials were “greatly disappointed” by their meeting with Kushner and Trump’s Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt.
"They sounded like Netanyahu's advisers and not like fair arbiters," a senior Palestinian official told the newspaper. "They started presenting Netanyahu's issues and then we asked to hear from them clear stances regarding the core issues of the conflict."
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Seriously . . . Any reasonable person with an elementary understanding of the workings of politics of the Israeli/Palestinian situation would not send a person avowed to Judaism, a friend of Netanyahu, and having a business relationship with a developer of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine to be your primary emissary to establish a baseline for peace talks in the area.
Only an uniformed, blatantly ignorant person on the subject of occupied Palestine would consider sending an unqualified person like Jared Kushner to negotiate peace in the area.
But, that's our president . . . Donald Trump . . . "he went to Jared"
