Palestinian messaging: When you do try to help us, we reserve the right to spit in your face. - by Bassam Tawil

In reality, the Palestinians have one main message for the US administration: We hate you and incite against you, but we fully expect that you will continue providing us with cash, to the tune of billions of dollars.

Once again, the Palestinians are conveying conflicting messages about their attitude towards US President Donald Trump's administration.
