Kushner: We Don't Seek to Isolate the Palestinians But We Won't Reward Bad Behavior
(Jewish Insider) Jacob Kornbluh - White House senior advisor Jared Kushner said he told representatives of the "Quartet" on Wednesday that the Palestinians are complaining about "a self-made financial crisis" because they are unwilling to take the money Israel is ready to transfer from an escrow account. Addressing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, he said, "The only reason why they have conflict is because they're shooting rockets on buildings in Israel. In the past, people would rush and try to help them, but we just haven't rewarded bad behavior." "We're not going to send American taxpayer money over...to a people who basically insult America and take [us] just for granted. So we've just taken a common-sense approach. We've tried not to do stupid things."
