UN Plan for ‘Palestine’: the Palestinian View
Latest update: February 14th, 2013
When this happens, the reaction of “ordinary” Palestinians will be exactly the same as it was on September 11 – absolute jubilation.
The reverberations will also be felt outside Israel. Despite steadily receiving large amounts of U.S. tax dollars, all Palestinian organizations, both official and non-official, remain deeply involved with, and sympathetic to, anti-Israel terrorism. For its part, Israel remains at the very front line of anti-terrorist engagement for the United States. For American policy, of course, Israel is still the “canary in the mine.”
Any Palestinian state would have an injurious effect on Israel, and therefore a correspondingly debilitating effect on U.S. security. After “Palestine,” Israel’s security would require, among other things: (1) a far more comprehensive nuclear strategy involving deterrence, preemption, and war fighting preparations; and (2) purposeful enhancements to a corollary and interpenetrating conventional war strategy. Without such strategic and tactical improvements, America – not just Israel – would be at substantially greater risk than had existed before “Palestine.”

"further U.S.-mandated deportations of Jews from Jewish lands ".
Other than removing Jews from their homes that were in the path of a freeway in New York City in the 1950s, I'm unaware of any "U.S.-mandated deportations" of Jews.
General Grant?
Grant's order was quickly overturned; were any Jews actually deported?
Obama wants the Jewish homes in Samaria and Judean Dessert removed,bringing all Jews behind the 67 borders! Hopefully Bibi won't please him!
