1 \ I published today on @newsisrael13 new details about the Trump administration's Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. The info is from a briefing given by a US official to a small group 2 weeks ago . I obtained the notes of 1 of the attendees in the briefing. Here are the details:

2 \ According to the briefing notes the U.S. plan will include a Palestinian state on a territory which will be "more than double the size of area A and area B" in the West Bank which the PA controls today. This will bring the size of the Palestinian state to 85-90% of the WB

3 \ On top of that the plan will also include the principal of land swaps between Israel and the Palestinians to accommodate for some of the territory in the West Bank which will become part of Israel. It is unclear how big the swaps will be

4 \ The U.S. peace plan divides settlements to 3 groups: Settlement blocks, where most settlers live & will become part of Israel; Isolated settlements will not be evacuated but will not be allowed to be expanded; outposts that are illegal according to Israeli law will be removed

5 \ According to the briefing notes the U.S. plan will make Jerusalem a shared capital. The capital of Israel will be in West Jerusalem and parts of East Jerusalem. The capital of Palestine will be in parts of East Jerusalem & include the majority of the Palestinian neighborhoods

6 \ The Holy Basin which includes The old city, the Temple Mount and its immediate surroundings will stay under Israeli sovereignty. The religious status quo will continue and Palestinians, Jordanians and maybe other parties will be given a role in running the holy sites

7 \ According to the notes, the U.S. official stressed in the briefing that the White House peace team thinks the Palestinians will reject the plan out of hand but wants Israel not to reject it and show willingness to engage

8 \ A senior White House official told me: "As in the past, speculation with regards to the content of the plan is not accurate. We have no further comment". END

Gohmert on Google ‘Blacklist’ Leak: ‘If Mr. Pichai Lied to Congress… It Would Be a Criminal Matter’

Following Breitbart News’ latest bombshell report on Google’s blacklisting of pro-life YouTube videos, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) commented on the company’s manipulative actions. Rep. Gohmert told Breitbart News: “If Mr. Pichai lied to Congress, he was under oath and it would be a criminal matter for a Grand Jury.”

Breitbart News recently published yet another leak from within Google, which reveals that YouTube has manually intervened to blacklist pro-life videos in its search results on numerous occasions. It was further revealed that Google often engages in “manual actions” in order to correct controversial search results in their search product, as well as their Google Home and Google Assistant device search results. Some of the altered search results reportedly relate to Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters and anti-gun activist David Hogg.

Breitbart News reached out to Rep. Louie Gohmert for comment on the issue. In a written statement to Breitbart News, Gohmert said:

The information leaked from Google certainly raises yet another concern of Google and YouTube subjectivity and manual manipulation of search results. If Mr. Pichai lied to Congress, he was under oath and it would be a criminal matter for a Grand Jury. His defense would become more inconsequential by a ‘Trust & Safety Team’ verification that there were ‘huge teams’ at Google involved in determining the manual manipulations that Mr. Pichai testified were not happening.

Regardless, this issue is more reinforcement for my bill (H.R.492) that would remove large social media companies’ immunity from lawsuits. This immunity was provided when these types of internet outlets were argued to be simply like ‘town squares’ where anyone had equal access to come and speak without filter. However, now we know that’s not the case. Instead of acting like the neutral platforms they claimed to be in order to obtain their immunity, it appears to me that some have turned Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 into a license to manipulate results, censor political thought with which they disagree, and even defraud with impunity. Testimony from witnesses like Diamond and Silk that raise issues of potential deception and fraud should be heard in court….

Networks Trashed Trump With 90% Negative Spin in 2018, But Did It Matter?

At the midpoint of Donald Trump’s first term, the establishment media’s obvious hostility shows no signs of relenting, but polls show this negative coverage has had no discernible impact on the public’s attitudes toward the President.

Since January 20, 2017, the Media Research Center has analyzed every moment of coverage of President Trump on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts, seen by approximately 23 million people each night. Highlights:

■ As it was last year, the Trump presidency was the biggest story of 2018, accounting for almost 87 hours of coverage, or 28% of all evening news airtime. But that’s down from 99 hours of coverage in 2017, perhaps a sign the networks are wearying of treating every Trump tweet as deserving of crisis-level coverage.

■ The tone of coverage remains incessantly hostile: 90% negative, vs. just 10% positive (excluding neutral statements), matching the historically bad press we documented in 2017. Yet despite the media’s obvious disapproval, public opinion of the President actually improved slightly during 2018, from an average 40% approval on January 1 to 42.7% approval on December 31, according to RealClearPolitics.

■ For the second year in a row, the Russia investigation was the single most-covered topic amid the networks’ Trump coverage, garnering 858 minutes of airtime. Since January 20, 2017, the Russia probe has received 2,092 minutes of coverage on just the three evening newscasts….
