The only security need the Palestinians have is to protect themselves from Israel.

We are funding the purchase of rockets that are being used on Israel, a country we claim as an ally. How insane is this? It&#8217;s time to cut the spending on Palestinian security forces. That&#8217;s one budget cut I think most of us could agree on!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_h.png?x-id=9d9bffea-4390-4319-bebc-5e3d6793f928\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I realize Wikipedia is not the best source on most things, but based on what I heard in an interview with Caroline Glick about her new book, \u201cThe Israeli Solution: A One-State Plan for Peace in the Middle East,\u201d this &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/?p=22235\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[7260,86,245,7259,227,7261,7258,285],"class_list":["post-22235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-caroline-glick","tag-israel","tag-middle-east","tag-palestinian","tag-palestinian-national-authority","tag-palestinian-national-security-forces","tag-palestinian-territories","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22235"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22237,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22235\/revisions\/22237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
