In a move that would break from decades of U.S. policy and potentially trigger major regional turmoil, President Donald Trump is reportedly set to announce that the United States will recognize the disputed city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The White House announced that Trump will deliver his remarks on the subject Wednesday, with the New York Times reporting that the president has already informed Israeli and Arab leaders about his plans.
The status of Jerusalem has long been a red line for Palestinians, as well as Arab and Muslim populations around the world that are sympathetic to their cause. With the Middle East already dealing with several major crises, the decision to change the U.S. position on this subject now is likely to inflame tensions both within Israel-Palestine, as well as the broader region. Responding to Trump’s planned announcement, the State Department has instructed embassies worldwide to boost security, warning of possible violence in the days ahead.
“This is something that no American president has dared to do before, because of the kind of pushback that they would receive in the region.”
Trump’s expected move on Jerusalem comes in the context of deepening pressure on Palestinian leadership from D.C. The House of Representatives today passed a bill approving the suspension of aid to the Palestinian Authority, while recent reports have claimed that Saudi leaders have delivered ultimatums to their Palestinian counterparts in a bid to force them into accepting the Trump administration’s proposals for a negotiated end to the conflict — proposals that are said to be wildly at odds with Palestinian national aspirations.
Trump is still expected to sign a waiver on moving the embassy for another six months, raising speculation that the announcement of the change in Jerusalem’s status is part of a strategy to pressure the Palestinians to accept an unpalatable deal.
“The peace process — whatever that is and whatever is left of it — was built on agreements that included a certain set of American guarantees about how the U.S. would approach final status issues, including the question of Jerusalem,” said Yousef Munayyer, executive director of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights. “It now looks as though the Trump administration is trying to ram an agreement down the throat of the Palestinian Authority that would be disastrous for them and is using a number of different threats, such as the status of Jerusalem, as a means of doing this.”
Regional countries and organizations, such as the Arab League and the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation, have lodged objections to any possible change in the status of Jerusalem, while Palestinian factions have called for protests to be held in the coming days. However harsh the reaction, one might have reasonably expected it.
“This is something that no American president has dared to do before,” added Munayyer, “because of the kind of pushback that they would receive in the region.”

If Palestinians want a state why do they refuse to negotiate with Israel or their other border states? Do Palestinians believe Israel will cease to exist if they will it?
If the Israelis want a two state solution, why don’t they just declare their borders thereby creating a defacto Palestinian state?
Do they not have the military power to do this?
Israel isn’t serious about a two state solution, they have never been. They will take over every part of the West Bank they want, and in time the Golan Heights and possibly parts of Gaza if not all of it.
The only question remains is extermination, apartheid, or expulsion, or what combination thereof?
Wow GilG, you have earned your money. Or your immorality. Or both. Whatevev I guess to me and you.
So, Mr Truth Teller… what is the capital of Israel?
And if you would be so kind, would you please share your comments made on the last three presidents who campaigned on the move, was voted in, and refused to honor the promise… much appreciated…
Free Kurdistan!!
With this great move by Trump, it is my hope that the Muslims will see the light and renounce their religion and choose the correct one.
The more your zio Jesus-bait tighten their grip, cretin, the more Palestine will slip through their little Jew fingers.
Nice friends you got yourself there, Glen.
Classy.
ROFL! Awwwwww, shucks, did i hurty YourMom’s wittle zio feelings? :D
And Palestinians are already dying as a result of this with the first casualty reported yesterday. As expected or perhaps designed.
The author is simply anti-American who cannot accept the fact that Trump was elected by the people in a fair election, and is simply following through on his election promises.
Checkmate!
“The author is simply anti American”
How is that exactly?
One thing should be clear to you, there are many in this country and around the world that do not support Israel.
Some may be against the illegal settlements, some against the war mongering and lies and others who think the whole Zionist project has failed.
I actually believed, at one time, that there was some attempt to create a 2 state solution, until I looked at a map of where the settlements were built, the roads to access them where for Jews only. At the same time more road blocks were being put up, creating a situation of people suffering and dying as your bloody guards looked on unbothered.
Then there was the border wall that stole land and divided land from the owners.
There’s also the little issue of settlers being required to be armed, while Christians and Muslims can’t be. The settlers are free to shoot into the homes of people that lived there before you showed up.
I couldn’t begin to count the lies zionists have told to steal land and ethnically cleanse the area where people of all faiths had been living in peace for a millennia or two.
“a land for a people for a people with out land”…what utter deception.
Or Golda…”we hate you for making us kill your children”…simply psychopathic.
Why is it Jews havent found a place to live in all these years. Why is it you’ve been tossed out of so many countries.
Could it be the unbridled abuse you sow…the disregard of the community’s feelings for you?
There are many Jewish people around the world that aren’t like the zionists, that dont want these actions in their name.
That don’t need to push atheism or degrade others religions, so no one will take a look at theirs.
You got permission for your capital, but it’s just one more reason people will loathe you for and innocent Jews, will once again feel the soaring anti semitism they don’t deserve.
Btw…Look at the big donors for this..Shaim whoever..and Adleson. Two men that are so vile looking I would not share a table with either. Why were they ever here…to get enough money and F with our government to help create the baby kittens in Congress…actually that’s just like your zionist state..all victims all the time…or better said baby kittens.
Ironically, blindly supporting a rogue, racist, Apartheid regime is anti-American. Allowing that same regime to dictate the foreign policy of the US is anti-American. Giving away the treasure of the American taxpayers to a regime that will utilize them not only to commit crimes against civilians but also to avert the political process of the US is anti-American.
But you are to anti-Intelligent to understand that.
Hitler was elected, too, and in the end he did just follow through on what he promised in his infamous book “Mein Kampf”.
Do not confuse Swisscheese with “Swiss.cheese”. The second commenter is an individual who is too coward to use her real nickname to challenge me. So, she tries to confuse the sections by following me around using a nickname similar to mine in order to confuse the comment sections.
Conclusion: elections have a consequences. (As I have stated).
Hitler was not the only candidate. Moreover, he did not hide his fascist plans as a candidate. So, if the voters believed the other candidates were worse than him, then it was illogical for them to complain about the Russians destroying Berlin.
Elections have consequences. Trump is the elected president of the US, and he clearly stated what he would do when he was a candidate. He was not the only candidate. Now, you cannot be crying like babies because he is delivering his promises if you spent most of your time convincing yourself and others that all candidates were as bad as him.
The other candidate was corrupt and crazy war criminal hillary. Compared to the orange clown she would have been far worse, because she conceils her evil deads behind a smiling face und humanitarian blabla while trump commits his crimes openly in broad daylight and thus makes people aware of them.
So you should have run yourself and convince the people to vote for you.
As I’m german, that’s not my game :))
If you tell American voters that all their candidates are the same or worse than the other, then there is no point of you complaining about the elected president delivering the promises you do not like.
Well, I’m not complaining at all. I think at the end it will be good news for the liberation of palestine.
All this BSing about two states comes to an end and no one can longer pretend that there ever will be a negotiated and just solution to the dispossession of the palestinians by racist jewish terror gangs.
Almost all Israelis are a disgusting bunch of psychopaths with not even the slightliest idea about justice, moral, ethics or humanity. They are a arrogant, rude, narcisstic, greedy mob that enjoys to make others suffer.
Remember that hill of shame where bloodthursty jews picknicked with their families to watch bombs raining down on UN schools packed with desperate palestinian children that had to flee from their homes?
According to an israeli poll 96% of the jews in Israel supported this butchery in gaza.
They are full of hatred and incapable to see others as victim or even as equal human beings.
Of course there are an handful of decent jews, but they are so few that they have absolutely no influence on the sick Israelis society.
You wrote:
“Well, I’m not complaining at all. I think at the end it will be good news for the liberation of Palestine.”
And then you wrote a long comment about how bad the Israelis are. Consistency is not your favorite word, isn’t it?
Israel is not the only country with a majority having negative views of Muslims/Islam. What do most Germans think about Islam?
Perhaps you got it wrong. I’m not complaining about Trump being elected or making foolish decisions, because on the long Run this will only weaken the USraeli Empire of oppression.
Many gernans are still the Same racists they have been 70 years ago. Since at least 2001 the the german media which is totally israel-controlled got in a full islamophobia mode that resulted in the rise of new neonazi party AfD.
For many decades the jewish councils in germany acted as kind of watchdog against racism and xenophobia in germany but since 2001 they creased this role and increasingly acted as likud propagandists thinking, that inciting racist hatred against muslims will somehow serve israel.
But that is the Same Historic as error as was the support for hitler by anglo-saxon captalists & jewish Bankers whom they considered to be a bullwark against c ommunism.
You are obviously complaining about Israeli policies against the Palestinians. Policies that are reinforced by Trump.
“Many gernans are still the Same racists they have been 70 years ago. Since at least 2001 the the german media which is totally….”
I know. Hence, I asked you that question. You seem to pay a lot of attention on racism from Israeli while you live in a society where most polls show that a majority of you have negative opinions of Muslims and a lot of you hold strong anti Semitic views.
It’s just strange that you focus so much on the Jews’ treatment of Palestinians while the UN recently accused another nation of ethnic cleansing against Muslims.
…and this ethnic cleansing is perpetrated with israeli weapons because israeli weapons and mercenaries serve racist, fascist and oppressive regimes from colombia to myanmar
With that comment any rational individual may conclude you have a problem with Jews. You don’t really have a problem with how Muslims are treated.
Most of Myanmar’s weaponry come from China and Russia. This is not even a secret!
You are inconsistent as usual.
Checkmate!
Why? Or are you just trolling arround? :))
haha, Trump promised to build a wall and make the mexicans pay for it. Where is the wall and where are the mexican checks?
More important, he promised to stop all those desastrous wars overseas that are bankrupting the US and endagering american lifes and instead use the money to rebuild the US. But what is he doing ? He is even more bellicose than Obama and this crazy woman.
But Trumps most important promise was to focus on the interests of the US and the american people. The american people have absolutely nothing to gain from Trupms or rather Kushners decision to break international law, disrespect UN Resolutions, trample on the rights of the palestinian people, appall american allies, endanger US client regimes and make the US and americans even more hated around the globe.
Really, can you find ONE single benefit for the US?
What is your point? A politician failed to keep his promises? Is that it?
My point is simple: Trump did not hide his policies, his racism, his plans when he was running. Voters picked him. Other voters concluded there were no differences between the candidates. Now, it is illogical to complain like crying babies because Trump is doing what he told everybody he would do. Voters could have stopped him, but they decided not to. So, they have to pay the consequences.
The price is almost exclusively paid by non us citizens in the middle east.
1) Trump did not create any wars in the Middle East
2) If voters cared about Middle Eastern refugees they could have stopped him. Again, he was not the only candidates. Some candidates promised to take more refugees while Trump promised to ban all Muslims. If voters refused to see that difference then there is no point of complaining now.
3) I personally do not believe that you sincerely care about how Middle Easterns are treated. It seems you have a problem with Jews not human rights violations against Muslims.
hahaha, the only one’s concerned with human rights violations against Muslims are racist hasbarists and the IDF, right?
Trump is simply doing what he promised to do. It’s illogical to expect him to do otherwise.
You just can’t think logically, can you?
I think logically and with FACTS, dude!
Checkmate!
Elections *do* have consequences. The Democrats voted time and again,
election cycle after election cycle for “the lesser of two evils”.
Voted for evil over and over until the day arrived when WWIII Hillary was the
candidate and a corrupt and totalitarian DNC was running the show.
*That* is what Democrats wrought.
Instead of voting Green, where their principals are represented,
they voted for WWIII Hillary, corrupt and owned by the banksters,
a supporter of Zionists and the **phony**, endless “negotiations for
a two-state solution”.
And Democrats will continue to vote for evil instead of their
principals every opportunity they get.
Let us hope that some good will come out of Trump’s incompetence.
The false posture of the US as “mediator” has ended. For the last
several decades the US has stood in the way of real negotiations,
it has been pretense, complicity and a stalling tactic to cover for what is
really happening – settlement expansion, theft and oppression.
If a real mediator appears you can be sure the danger to them will
be real. We all remember how the Israelis have murdered negotiators
in the past.
1) In politics voters ALWAYS pick between evils
2) If none of the evils can respond to your beliefs, then you should run for office yourself
3) Only the US can realistically pressure Israel.
Unfotunalety ist the other way round and tiny Israel is pressuring the world’s eczeptional, only superpower
Hear hear!!!
Trump is anti-American. Are you ok with that swisscheese?
Trump or you can be whatever you want.
I really don’t care what Trump does.
I am here to expose commenters’ inconsistencies and hypocrisy, and present alternate facts.
Get real, dude!
Checkmate!
BWAAAAHAAHHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAA!!!!!!!!
The state-worshipping western window licker’s doppelganger has managed to capture the mouth breathing cretin’s mindless inanity brilliantly!
The president has delivered the obvious but since his name is Trump no liberal, progressive democrat will agree giving some in this world a reason to use violence….
I’ve not heard any liberals in America come out against it.
They only repeat what other leaders say…
Something like…the timing of this isn’t good and many of our allies oppose the move..
Politician speak for what they won’t oppose, lest their donor owners replace them…and many of those are from Aipac and other like groups.
Hmmm…that statement sounds eerily familiar. Oh, I know…it’s the same thing the Republicans did with Obama. Perhaps, they set a dangerous precedent with that.
What do you mean….Obama delivered the obvious ?
Maybe…. when he showed his birthcertificate.
Everybody relax. As soon as Abbas, Erekat, the UN, etc. are done with all their angry speeches, the negotiations can continue.
Trump is not sabotaging his own peace efforts; he is recognizing reality. The Arab and Palestinian threats for violence (which, of course, the Left, Greenwald, The Intercept, etc. will do all they can to justify and excuse) have been treated with contempt. Fine.
An American president cannot decide which city is Israel’s capital. Nor can the PLO or the UN. Only Israel can. West Jerusalem is not an issue. Trump’s decision should not have an impact on the issues up for negotiation. Trump did not make Jerusalem the Israeli capital any more than the UN made Israel a Jewish state.
Also, isn’t it bigoted to say that violence is the “inevitable” Palestinian reaction? People are worried that recognizing Jerusalem will empower groups like the Muslim Brotherhood or Hamas. But the willingness to allow the Muslim world’s most radical, reactionist elements some kind of terrorist veto is exactly the kind of thinking that retards progress in this region. There’s always going to be a reason for Palestinian leaders and terrorists to condone or commit violence. If a Palestinian throws a firebomb at a car or attacks a cop with an axe and he is killed in the process, guess whose fault it will be.
It’s also interesting that Democrats have criticized the move even though they supported it when they were sure it wouldn’t happen. You know, “friends” of Israel like Feinstein and Durbin.
Also, Palestinian threats to end the peace process would be meaningful if they had not already done so. Similarly, Erdogan’s threats about a “red line” would be meaningful if he weren’t a dictatorial friend to Hamas and ISIS.
Palestinians always have an excuse for their violence, as do their leftist supporters in the States. It’s like the mafia warning of “accidents” that might occur if you don’t buy the right insurance.
Seriously…what a laugh! This is an expanding occupation surviving under the guise of endless “peace talks”.
And what, pray tell, are Israel’s excuse for violence?!
Their short term existence won’t last…let the zionists start over after they wander the desert some more, and maybe they can be part of something that can be respected and not solely reliant on deception.
Yes, the talks are endless. There’s a reason it’s called a peace “process.”
Getting the zionists to leave is a practical impossibility, just like making the hardcore Palestinians to accept any long-term Israeli presence in the region is a practical impossibility.
1. It was israel which supported the Foundation of Hamas to weaken fatah and it is israel that still supports isil. The Jewish state in the levante (JSIL) openly acts as isil’s airforce.
2. Tell me, why Do jews think, that the UN had the right to decide about the Partition of palestine and the creation of israhell but suddenly loses All competence for any further decisions?
3. Did you Know, that according to internation law, people living under foreign occupation have the legitimate right to fight against this occupation? It is not considered violence but resistance. Go, and ask some jewish fighters that served in the french resistance against the nazi occupation of france.
4. If an occupier wants to Live in Peace he has to end the occupation. Immediately, without preconditions and without a right of “selfdefense” against his victims
1. Yes
2. The UN is useless as far as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is concerned. An international peacekeeping force would be good for both sides. It would protect Palestinians from Israeli arbitrary repression and would provide Israelis security without being corrupted by militarism. It might even let the two build bridges.
Unfortunately, getting Israel to acquiesce is impossible; they won’t even let international peacekeepers near the holy sites. This is hard to do when the US utilizes its veto power to protect Israel (a country the US shares no real interests with) Look at how Russian and China have voted when it comes to Syria. The UN’s inability to prevent conflict is legendary.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
As soon as the world forgets Trump’s gesture, the conflict will continue its endless course.
Haha, life expectancy of un peacekeepers within the Range of israeli weapons bis quite short. Like the Mafia the jewish state tries to silence all witnesses to it’s crimes. ( remember USS LIBERTY)
Stripping away all the rhetoric about destiny and religion, the simple fact remains that Israeli occupation of Jerusalem, and in fact of most of the territory they claim, is a result of a war of aggression. The victorious powers in World War 2 decided, in a manner similar to the actions of the victorious powers in World War 1, to create a Jewish state in Palestine, a region where Muslims, Jews and Christians had been living together in peace for more than a thousand years. Dissatisfied with the borders declared legal by the UN, the Zionists have continuously expanded their land claims. Those are the facts.
Donald Trump’s act is a ratification of an illegal act, nothing more. He plays to his base of fundamentalists who believe that the crap in the Bible and Torah give license for criminality.
So of all the states to come out of the divsion of the Ottoman empire only Israel is illegal?
Typical revisionist nonsence. The UN resolution wasnt what created Israel, the Arabs rejected the UN proposal and it was never enacted. The creation of Israel was the result of a population that had been in land for centuries and a returning diasporia declaring their right to self determination. Now if you want to look at a state set up by the victorious powers after WW1 look at the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Where zero Hashemites lived until they were given the land by those powers and whos existance hypocritical anti zionist have no beef with.
Only Israel is a racist colonial settler state created by foreign terrorists through ethnic cleansing und brutal force.
Perhaps that is what makes the difference ?!?
Well maybe if it wasn’t someone who used the term “so called holocaust” making the point, there might be some room for discussion on this point Alex, but I think we know YOUR reason for singling out Israel.
“we know” ?? Are you using pluralis majestatis or are you simply referring to your multiple identities as hasbarist? :))
It’s the so-called Holocaust because jews have been made similar claims throughout history. Also, they weren’t the only ones targeted and harmed by the Germans, they were plenty of others including the Russians who lost a reported 20 MILLION of their civilians fighting for the jews. How come all those other people have never made any grand claims of victimhoom much less demanded special treatment, world welfare and the land of others?
Really Jews have made other claims of Holocausts happening to them?
Can you name them? Bet you can’t.
Who said Jews were the only ones targeted by the Germans?
How are the Jews getting world welfare?
I love it when anti-Zionsits get exposed as really being anti-Jew.
Perhaps the Joker refers to the fact, that throughout the last century jews always had this crazy fixation on the on the mystical figure of “6 Million jewish victims” ?
I don’t Know, maybe it’s One of their weird kabbalah things. :))
http://www.thebirdman.org/Index/Jews/Jews-History&ScripturalOriginOfThe6MillionNumber.html
You are linking to an article by an admitted holicaust revisionist who has links to dozens of articles on the Jewish question. You have totally outed yourself Alex. Too funny. Ignorant and bigoted is no way to go through life Alex.
Haha, I have totally outed myself the same moment when I denied any legitamacy to this disgusting colonial settler enterprise that jewish terrorists like begin bombed into existance.
Nope you totally outed yourself when you linked to a Jew haters web site in an attempt to prove that the Jews made up the 6 million number. Face it clown you fool no one by claiming it has to do with your hatred of Israel.
Oh wait you probably fool your equally ignorant friends who will no doubt continue to defend you even though you have provided the evidence that it is Jews you hate which is why you also hate Israel.
Too funny, you guys are so transparent and dumb you never manage to hide your bigotry for long. :)
Yeah, and?
ROFL…If the frum little Nakba denying israel-worshipping ziopath says so.
I love it when frum little israel-worshipping ziopaths get exposed as really being obsessive-compulsive mass Jew-baiters.
How is a state set up by the Hashemites in a area they had never lived before not a settler colonial state Alex? Is this another example it only counting when it is Israel, or is it another case of you being clueless about the the history of the region. Please explain.
How does a state that didn’t have to commit genocide in order to come into being and which doesn’t have to maintain a permanent and brutal apartheid regime in order to survive, even remotely compare to the genocidal zio apartheid regime currently operating in Palestine, ziopath?
Wrong again, Gil.
I’m beginning to wonder about your education other than the Hasbara training.
The Hashemites????
http://www.kinghussein.gov.jo/history.html
They’re one of the most ancient people in the region…
But they had never lived in the what would become Jordan. They were given the land by the British. They moved there and set up a kingdom lock stock and barrel.
ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
Your mass-murdering zio amalek fake-Jew scum moved to Palestine in order to genocide the indigenous Palestinians and establish an illegal zio apartheid regime in the Palestinian people’s homeland.
Typical zio hasbara nonsense.
Careful, ziopath, your mask is slipping. You are supposed to say the Palestinians rejected the UN proposal not, “the Arabs”.
More zio habara nonsense from an israel-worshipping ziopath.
Nah, you frum little israel-worshipping ziopath, the “creation of Israel” was the result of a corrupt world power allowing a foreign criminal gang of violent zio colonizers, terrorists and murderers to infiltrate, occupy and ethnically cleanse Palestine while actively denying the indigenous Palestinian population their right to self-determination.
Yea, except that unlike your mass-murdering foreign criminal gang of zio infiltrators, who had to holocaust the Palestinians in order to create their illegal zio apartheid regime in Palestine, the “Hashemites” didn’t have to commit genocide in order to create or live in Jordan.
Oh, and you forgot to mention that you israel-worshipping ziopaths also claim Jordan as part of your “Jewish state:
“The UN resolution wasnt what created Israel, the Arabs rejected the UN proposal and it was never enacted.”
The nerve of the Arabs! How dare they not want to give their country and land away? Coincidentally, if the Mayor and Council in your town came in, divided your house and land and give that to a family (that say, for example, lost their home in a fire), would you agree to that? Now, apply that logic to the conflict and you’ll understand.
Logic and Zionist are two things that never come together.
Indeed. These fuckers are mad and they have infected the rest of the world with their brand of madness.
You keep saying that yet you can’t provide an example. On the other hand how many falsehoods have I caught you and Grace in on this thread? Wanna bet I can provide more things you both got wrong then you can provide faults in my logic. So far you haven’t been able to provide one.
The property I live on now in the northern suburbs of New York City was confiscated from the Tories who sided with the British during the US revolutionary war. I am not suggesting the the Palestinians were treated fairly but for someone lecturing me about there being other victims of the Nazis it’s pretty funny to act like the Palestinians were the only ones who were displaced during that time period. In fact the the number of Jews who were displaced from Arabs countries were equal to the amount of Palestinians that were displaced from Israel in raw numbers and on a percentage basis the Arabs were way more successful at ethnically cleansing Jews then the other way around.
After the Expulsion and deportation of the palestinians the immigrated european jews needed laborers to Do all the Hard work for them. They lured the arab jews to israel and even “encouraged” them (Mafia style) to leave their arab countries where they had peacefully lived for centuries.
In Bagdad for example the mossad detonated Bombs in synagoges to create fear among Iraq jews and Make them emigrate to israel.
I recall the zionists admittedly blowing up old Synagogues in Iraq to scare the Jews to move to Israel.
I will not waste my time pointing to other examples.
I will ask what has been inaccurate in anything Alex and I have said that become “lies” in your delusional mind.
It seems more accurate that you simply call people liars when you disagree.
Peace be with you Gil, the road ahead will not be good for you, as the numbers against your whiny little abusive state are against you and no daily falsehoods you write here will change that.
PS…plenty of holocausts thru time, the one you claim has lost its power no matter the monuments to it you build.
Wait til you see even more backlash the more free speech you seek to alter in the anti bds laws you seek to pass.
I can’t help but wonder if it hasn’t been people like you defending the indefensible that has helped dry any sympathy I may have one time felt.
What have I defended that was indefensible Grace give me an example. You can’t because once again you tell lies. Quote something I said where I am defending something indefensible.
All I have done was call you out on your bs, starting with you claim about access to the Dome Of The Rock.
OK, but you can only please all Palestinians by kicking the Israelis out and having the Palestinians settle the land in its entirety. Ever think that’s going to happen?
Perhaps, you can explain that “peace process” that the Palestinians are so contemptuous of and why that is so. I’ll give you a hint: read the Palestine Papers so you can get a clue. Everyone is painfully aware that the US goes thru a yearly charade with this while Isreal engages in the wanton and accelerated theft of whatever is left of the Palestinians’ land while, at the same time, accelerating their Holocaust. Cheap Hasbara doesn’t work anymore!
Hey Pepito still waiting for you to tell me the “big lie” that you accused me of telling.
Man you guys are great at making false accusations that you don’t back up.
Man you psychotic little ziopaths are frum little israel-worshippers.
@ GilG…
Call people names all you like, it doesn’t change the fact that you give the challenge to others to prove you wrong.
You may think that you have had a “win” today for your country, but you will never win..you don’t on this site and Israel has never been more than a blip in time.
I backed up my claims with sources and proved you didn’t know what you where talking about Grace. I didn’t call you a name, but now I will call you a liar, a name you justly deserve.
Nah, you frum little israel-worshipping cretin, you backed up and proved once again that you’re a frum little israel-worshipping cretin.
Your Hasbara myths aren’t flying these days..it hasn’t in a very long time.
You may want to tell your “bosses” that their AHC, American Hitler Channel, is only serving to desensitize people to your holocaust. It’s extreme overkill and going by the American History Channel.
There’s a new holocaust that has full US/IS/SA support in Yemen with many dying the same deaths as in the work camps of Nazis.
We will remember not to forget the children dying tortuous deaths from starvation, typhoid and cholera..IF they’ve survived missiles. Skin and bones…7 million, GilG.
Nor will many of us forget the picnicking Israelis on a hill near the border of Gaza to watch the disgusting and murderous attack on the people there, with no means of defense…rather like a caged hunt.
First up was the slaughter of 50 graduating police officers.
You defend that by saying you dropped flyers, but where in the ruins were they supposed to go??
It has only deteriorated since then.
So now we are supposed to believe your “country” to be anything more than a savage group of killers.
The truth will out..and people will see that the legal terms under the UN have consistently been violated..but by then you will have done irreparable damage to humanity.
You getting a temporary claim to Jerusalem will be like all you never could hang on to.
Truth will out huh. That’s pretty funny coming from someone that just got caught telling multiple lies. You seem to be very concerned about the devistation in Yemen, good what are you doing about it except using it as a half assed attempt to bash Israel for a fight between Arabs. For what it’s worth my county is the US. What’s yours Grace? Or are you to afraid to say or maybe to dishonest. No wonder thePalestinians are no better off today. The people who claim to be supporting them no nothing and are dumb enough to think they can get away with lies. Face your propaganda won’t work. But keep trying. It’s fun for me to expose you.
ROFL…Yea, the multiple zio lies you’ve told are as hilarious as you are transparent, ziopath.
Shushy, ziopath, you are supposed to say “a fight between anti-Zionists” not “Arabs”. ROFL…Don’t you love it when the mask falls and you israel-worshipping goy-hating ziopaths stop making any pretense about who you hate?
Your “county” is the US, huh? That’s pretty fucked up coming from an israel-worshipping ziopath who spends his every living moment defending zio war crimes and zio crimes against humanity that are being committed in the name of all Jews. No wonder Jews are hated today. The frum little israel-worshipping ziopaths who claim to be supporting them know nothing, and are so fucking stupid that they willingly swallow every last drop of zio hasbara Kool-aid while zio Jews murder, rape and steal in the name of all Jews. Your transparent zio hasbara won’t convince anyone with more than half a brain, nor will it save your Zionism in the long run, but keep trying. It’s fun watching indoctrinated little israel-worshipping ziopaths like you gleefully drink every last drop of zio hasbara Kool-aid.
Hasbara 101. You should be proud, you’re an expert at it. And if you’re American as you claim to be, then, shame on you for defending, supporting and legitimizing the actions of a rogue, illegitimate regime that does more damage to your country than all the so-called ‘terrorists’ put together for the Zionists are the real terrorists.
I am not an expert but I do bother to find out what the facts are before I post. How is is Hasbara to correct falsehoods? On the other hand what is very true is that you have been caught spreading falsehoods, so if anyone is the propagandist it’s you and your buddies. Now tell me how logical you guys are again.
Hasbara is all about gaining sympathy for israel.
Looking at this troll who is twisting others peoples comments to create statements that actually were never made in order to “proof” their “falsehood” and call everybody a “liar” seems to be not a particularly successful way to gain sympathy:))
Speaking of liars…how’s that revisionist history working for ya? And how about the Hasbara effort?
What revisionist history? Name some history that I claimed that was false.
Not only do you lie about the facts but you make false accusation to boot. Wow, I am overwhelmed. Hey are you being funny yet Joker? Maybe you should change your handle to Know Nothing And Not Afraid To Show It.
Blip in time? Wishful thinking, Grace. History has already proved you wrong. It will again.
For all the just criticisms Bush and Obama earned over ISIS/DAESH, at least they didn’t grant those racist violent extremists the ‘right’ to name their own capitol city.
Trump just showed he’d not only have done that, and claimed it was the normal thing to do, he’d also have said it opened the path for peace between DAESH and the Assyrians.
No, he did not.
You have clearly never been to Israel or read anything about that country.
Ignorance is such a powerful tool, amazing !
When you say “those racist violent extremists” are you referring to the Zionists?
When you say “capitol city” do you mean capital as in the most important city or town of a country or region, usually its seat of government and administrative center or capitol as in a building such as the seat of the US Congress in Washington, DC?
This will allow the democratic party establishment, who have abetted Israel’s ethnic cleansing for decades, to engage in revisionism and claim that Trump is responsible for “killing” the peace process.
The last sentence in the article should read, “This is something the President dares to do *because* of the pushback he expects to receive in the region.”
This is pure provocation.
maybe it’s a Saudi plot … ;-0
Donald Trump, with this ill advised move, has done more to fan the flames of anti-Semitism than any radial ever. From Wikipedia: “Antisemitism may be manifested in many ways, ranging from expressions of hatred or discrimination against individual Jews to organized pogroms by mobs….”
The religious evangelical fanatics are in control of foreign policy in America, the Middle East and Israel, but they do not represent the wishes of their constituents, who just want to live in peace and for whom religion is an excuse for a holiday feast.
DiT chose to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel.
But Dit speaks only for himself.
Thieves sociopaths morons and greedy selfish types who murder people to steal land need a capital, a flagable victory. UNDERSTAND, these mentally deranged persons who perpetrate or support such evil will thereafter want to be re-assured that they are correct and accepted and praised by at least not being criticized or protested in any way by any one. They will equate any such form of opposition as threatening. This is CLASSIC PARANOIA – a serious mental disorder which aspiring syncophants (sickophants?) will flock to for sustenance and cover.

I think President Donald Trump is a brave person and I like him for that. We need a President like him. Lars Andersen
The Germans also thought that Hitler was a brave person and liked him for that. They needed a president just like him. Or maybe not?
This is very risky, ulterior and secret motives aside. As Dave and some others pointed out, the U.S. and Saudi Arabia might want to foment war, which would not be the first time. But there are other huge considerations here.
As much or more than anywhere else, there is a major disconnect between the people and the rulers in the Middle East (by “Middle East” I mean the region excluding Israel). Relevant here, the people fully and unequivocally support the Palestinians and their cause, but many leaders (Saudi Arabia and the smaller Gulf states, to name the most obvious ones) support Israel.
What Trump et al. should realize is that the PEOPLE in the Middle East will be outraged by this. While the rulers aside from those in Iran might support or go along with it, the fury of the people could result in revolutions in the oil countries upon which the U.S. depends for its colonial control in the region. Similar to what’s going on in Honduras, if the cops and military grunts are as outraged as the people will surely be and turn on the leaders because the leaders gave the people’s holy city to infidels (a description of THEIR anticipated characterization, I hate all religion and couldn’t care less about this BS), the U.S.-friendly rulers might not be around too much longer. Add the always dominant-in-the-region oil issue to the equation, and this stunt could backfire very easily and catastrophically for the U.S. So there is some hope here!
BTW, don’t fall into the foolish trap of thinking that Trump et al. are stupid or don’t know what they’re doing. Opponents used to say that about Reagan, and he was the only president I remember who said what he was going to do before he was elected, then did it after taking office. Just because you don’t know what they’re doing and/or why doesn’t mean that they don’t, and your dislike of what they’re doing doesn’t make them stupid or ignorant, it makes them immoral and evil.

Sure will be interesting if the Kushner real estate company suddenly gets tossed a lifeline by a ‘friend’ of Israel (a bank, investor, etc..). They/He has a $1.2 Billion mortgage due Feb. 2019 on their disastrous 666 5th Ave property in New York City, which they’ve been shopping the world for investors w/o success. Kushner supposedly has a very real problem with that property.
And with no rational strategic reason to suddenly recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and against the consensus view that it’s bad diplomacy, it might not be a reach to consider it foreign policy via quid pro quo.
With that address he should get investment from hell.
Great decision president Trump, we finally have a president that doesnt give in to the pressure from the islamic savages, throughout the world.
It’s amazing how Hasbara has fueled disgust with Israel.
So, what are you saying we can call zionazis…something worse…I suppose I should refer to them as “savages”.
Right?!
Haha, that’s exactly the kind of “sophisticated plan” one expects from such narcisstic, arrogant idi o ts like Netanjahu, Kushner, MbS and Trump.
As sad as it is from a humanitarian point of view, politically it’s great news, as it will strenghten the axis of resistance and deepen the rift between the arab people and their zionazi controlled rulers. The liberation of palestine will come as soon as as the arab people get rid of their bloodsucking dictators and degenerated princes and act united against this shit*y little apartheid colony.
Gosh – when I read the headline this morning, my first thought was “What do the Saudi’s get out of this” – because I KNEW the Saudi’s had agreed to this.
The Saudis (MbS) plans keep blowing up in their face one after the other – Harriri’s forced resignation in Saudi Arabia turned into Harriri’s reinstatement in Lebanon, the Saudi deal with Saleh turned into no more Saleh and a Houthi victory, and this latest pressure game targeting the Palestinians will go the same way. The Saudi rule over the GCC states seems to be evaporating, with a new “Saudi-UAE” bilateral alliance being proposed since apparently nobody else wants to go along with the MbZ-MbS axis, not Bahrain or Kuwait or Qatar or Oman.
Probably what the House of Saud now has to worry about more than anything else is outrage among its own Saudi population over their dealings with Israel and Israel’s continuing abuse of the Palestinian people.
But who knows, maybe it’s another crazed plot to destablize the region and create more chaos, which they think they can use to their advantage. Along with Trump and Netanyahu, they’re an collection of lunatic asylum inmates.
Hear, Hear!!
intercept ought not fear my opinions so much that they don’t post them
I would suspect Saudi Arabia and Jordan support this privately. Additionally, the militants that would react violently to this are otherwise occupied in violence elsewhere or dead
One man’s terrorist, is another man’s freedom fighter..right?!
This will fuel anti semitism the world over..and don’t think there won’t be millions of people living for the day to hurt Jews everywhere and make any attacks on Israel they can.
King Abdullah has been strongly against this, as he is sitting on a powder keg in Jordan.
The only reason there wasn’t more support of IS there, was due to the very well documented burning of a Jordanian pilot, regardless of which IS did it!
Anti-Semitism, anti-schmetism. Enough with the anti-semitic bullshit which is only a cheap cover for the crimes being committed by that terrorist organization wholly owned by transplanted Europeans known as Israel. If you treated others as you so vehemently demand to be treated, you wouldn’t have any problems.
So true!
Love the photo…Banksy is always on top of things!
I wonder how is Walledoff Hotel is doing???
Oh dear…these zionists and their supporters seem to have lost all perspective of the world we live in.
Let’s just start with 2003 through to today, how many people in the region, including N Africa, have been displaced, grown up with war, never known peace, or a home.
They have an assault on their culture and their religion, as this will put The Dome of the Rock fully under Israeli control.
How will all these displaced people respond..
Grab the popcorn it will be most interesting and dare I say deserved?
Too bad Christians have no interest in protecting Bethlehem or Jerusalem for them, as their neighborhoods have been repurposed for Jews and Bethlehem is fully occupied and even the church from the time of Christ was burned by the IDF.
Israelis respect one faith…Judaism, the version that says ” we are better than every other human being”..so no surprise.
What nonsense we hear about “threats to wipe Israel off the face of the earth” and other absurd translations brought to us by Memri …that fabulously manipulative zionist think tank that supports this type of action.
The left and the right back this move as they’re owned by their zionazi donors.
By the way..when will Israel be able to stand on their own financially??? It is such a successful “democracy”, after all …LOL.
Oh well…one thing has always been true..many zionists and their supporters are very self destructive.
” this will put The Dome of the Rock fully under Israeli control”
Firstly Jerusalem has been under Israeli control since it was taken from Jordanian control after Jordan attacked Israel in the ’67 war.
Secondly since Israel got control of the eastern portion of Jerusalem it has given control of the Dome Of the Rock to the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf .
Where do you get your information Grace?
The Dome of the Rock? Isn’t that the Mosque where people have to have a pass to attend, is patrolled by the IDF and has cameras installed on it to monitor those who enter – that is, on the days when it is permitted by the Zionist cabal to be opened?
That, btw, is common knowledge to anyone who doesn’t have his head firmly planted up his Hasbarist ass.
Nope that only happened earlier after some Palestinians who had stashed weapons there ran out of the Dome of the Rock with machine guns and shot some Israeli Druze policemen who were outside on the street, and the site was closed for a few days and then gradually reopened.
Actually non Muslims can NOT go into the Dome of the Rock at all.
Those are Islamic Waqf rules.
A pass won’t help you get in Joker. Non Muslims can visit the Temple Mount Compound for a few hours on some days and those days and times are controlled by the Waqf. For someone who claims common knowledge you are woefully ignorant. Or is the joke that you don’t know what you are talking about, and claim what you don’t know is common knowledge, and that’s why you call yourself the The Joker?
http://foodfolksandfun.net/visiting-dome-on-the-rock/
I’m sorry, but that’s just BS.
’67 was a war of aggression from the zionazi side. Israel wasn’t attacked nor was it a preemptive war. The Zionazis on their way to “greater israel” started this war to steal more land. That’s what almost ALL involved zionazi generals and politicians confessed afterwards.
You are absolutely WRONG. Jordan attacked Israel at the behest of Egypt who actually convinced them they were winning the war.
“Israel warned King Hussein not to enter the war. But his mind was already made up, and he had put Jordan’s efficient army under the command of a less than capable Egyptian general.
Just before midday fighting started in Jerusalem. The Jordanians opened fire. King Hussein ignored Israeli signals that Jordan would be spared if it stayed out of the war. After the Samua raid in 1966 he didn’t believe Israeli assurances; and he was convinced that if he reneged on the military alliance he had entered with Egypt he would lose his throne.

It’s not too hard to find some revisionist history to support a zionist world view.
How charming that you think that would be credible on this board.
Well here is a link from Al Jazzeera backing up what I claimed. Now you provide you non-revisionist documentation, or is that to hard for you to come up with Grace?
How charming that you think you speak for the board.
How funny is it that you continually spout off without know the first thing about what you are spouting off about.

Where does that article say Israel attacked JORDAN first Alex?
East Jerusalem had been annexed by Jordan in 1948. At that time they ethnically cleansed 100% of the Jews. As I said this land was captured from Jordan in the 67 war after Jordan attacked Israel. Try again.
“Captured” ….tsss, that may have been a legal way to acquire some piece of land 4000 years ago, when the jews invaded canaan and massacred man, women and children living there.
UN resolution 242 emphasizes” the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”. Therefore the israeli occupation is completely illegal.
Resolution 476 and 478 declared israels annexetion of jerusalem completely illegal and requested the UN member States Not to recognize jerusalem as israels capital and not to maintain an embassy there.
Today Kushner and Trump decided to be above international law and Do their masters in israel and their fitfth column donors at Home a little favor.
Your claim was Israel attacked Jordan. Now you are changing it. Why didn’t you know this. Why are you too dishonest to admit this and instead trying to change the subject.
My claim was that Israel was the attacker and deliberately started the war against the arabs in ’67 to grab more land from the palestinians.
There was no Jordanien attack as you claimed, but simply a reaction to jewish aggression.
You responded to my post saying that Jordan attacked Israel by saying it was bs. Now you are flat out lying about what is right on this page. You haven’t been able to show that even one thing I posted was bs.
Israel made a plea to Jordan to stay out of the conflict, now you are calling the Jordanian attack a reaction!!! Reaction to what.exactly? Being lied to by Nasser? You really are doing your best Goebbels impression Alex.
Stop bulls***ing around and making things artificially complicated. Israel started the war by attacking egypt, that had a mutual defense treaty with jordan. An attack on egypt was therefore also an attack on jordan. Consequently there was no jordan attack on israel but simply a reaction to the israeli aggression.
Rabin was quoted in ‘Le Monde’, on February 29, 1968, as saying, “I do not think Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to the Sinai in May [1967] would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it.”
In August 8, 1982, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin made a speech saying, “In June, 1967, we again had a choice. The Egyptian army concentrations in the Sinai did not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him”.
The thesis according to which the danger of genocide hung over us in June 1967, and according to which Israel was fighting for her very physical survival, was nothing but a bluff which was born and bred after the war,” declared Gen. Matituahu Peled, chief of logistical command during the war and one of 12 members of Israel’s General Staff, in March 1972.
A year earlier, Mordechai Bentov, a member of the wartime government and one of 37 people to sign Israel’s Declaration of Independence, had made a similar admission. “This whole story about the threat of extermination was totally contrived, and then elaborated upon, a posteriori, to justify the annexation of new Arab territories,” he said in April 1971.
Jordan was duped into attacking by Egypt and admitted it. Besides how does that pact change the fact that it was Jordan, who controlled that territory and had ethnically cleansed it of 100% of it’s Jewish population in ’48, that attacked Israel, not the other way around which is what you claimed.
Hmm, that’s a funny thing. If it we’re the poor little innocent jews immigrants who we’re ethnically cleansed as you claim, how comes it, that it we’re the palestinians who were expulsed and deported and ended as world’ s largest refugee Population?
Perhaps those poor little jewish immigrants were not so innocent as they claimed and since 1895 secretely had already planned the deportation of the palestinian population to create arab-free judenstaat?
Just read this about the the innocent jewish “victims” of “ethnical cleansing”:
“Historical Survey of Proposals to Transfer Arabs from Palestine 1895 – 1947 “- by Rabbi Chaim Simons
Jews had a continuous presence in Jerusalem going back centuries, they weren’t all immigrants. Apparently you think ethnically cleansing is only bad when it happens to some groups of people and not others. The Nazis had similar ideas about people. I would think that as a German you would know about that.
Of course there was a continuous presence of jews in palestine. No one denies this, except the zionists.
The jews never left palestine. The stayed there and during the centuries many of them became Christians and later moslems. Todays palestinians are decendants of the antique jews, while Europäern and American jews are decendants of east European converts
“Antique Jews”…priceless and like all your posts, correct.
I learned a lot from you today.
So what you are saying is that the Arab Muslim conquest resulted in no movement of Arab Muslims into the area. And while some Jews may have converted there is no evidence most did. Unless of course you have proof otherwise. What is a fact is that Over 50% of the Jews in Israel are not decended from Jews that ever lived in Eastern Europe or America. So once again you display your ignorance Al. How many falsehoods have you been caught i now? So many I lost count.
No, i did NOT say the no single muslim moved to palestine. I said that the jews as whole never left palestine althoug some jews may have emigrated in the course of 2000 years.
See the difference!?
Learn something. This is one of many different explusions.
“The Bar Kokhba revolt resulted in the extensive depopulation of Judean communities, more so than the First Jewish–Roman War of 70 CE. According to Cassius Dio, 580,000 Jews perished in the war and many more died of hunger and disease. In addition, many Judean war captives were sold into slavery. The Jewish communities of Judea were devastated to an extent which some scholars describe as a genocide. Roman casualties were also considered heavy – XXII Deiotariana was disbanded after serious losses. In addition, some historians argue that Legio IX Hispana’s disbandment in the mid-2nd century could also have been a result of this war. In an attempt to erase any memory of Judea or Ancient Israel, Emperor Hadrian wiped the name off the map and replaced it with Syria Palaestina.
The Bar Kokhba revolt greatly influenced the course of Jewish history and the philosophy of the Jewish religion. Despite easing the persecution of Jews following Hadrian’s death in 138 CE, the Romans barred Jews from Jerusalem, except for attendance in Tisha B’Av
To make it short: the jewish terrorists got badly kicked in their as*es because they started some intifadas against the romans, who were the legitimate rulers of palestine/judea after they conquered it from the jews.
haha, can you please tell me why you whine about this sh*it the romans did 2000* years ago in absence of stuff like international law or geneva conventions, but at same time say that it is perfectly OK for the jews to treat the palestinians today in the same way??
By the way, while cassius dio excaberated the number of jewish victims 1948 the jews killed, deported and expelled around 800.000 palestinians from their homeland.
I wasn’t whining about it you twit. I was bringing up to counter another of your false claims “that the jews as whole never left palestine”.
Too make it short you got caught showing your ignorance yet again Alex.
Jordan had a fucking defense pact with Egypt, you obtuse Zionist cretin.
Waaaaahhhh!!! Waaaaaaahhh!!!! Waaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Your foreign criminal gang of zio colonizers, terrorists and murderers shouldn’t have politicized Jews and Judaism, infiltrated and ethnically cleansed Palestine, and then declared an apartheid “Jewish State” inside Palestine if they didn’t want innocent Jews to eat shit.
Hear, Hear!!
And another thing.
No version of Judaism says ” we are better than every other human being”.
Your ignorance is astonishing Grace. But go ahead let’s see if you can back up that moronic claim. I bet you can’t.
You are absolutely right! Your late chief Rabbi of israel, who got the largest funeral in Israels history, would have never said “we are better than every other human being”
Instead he said: “Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel….
Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat… That is why gentiles were created.”
He was the Sephardi chief Rabbi for a 10 year period. He was not the “Chief Rabbi of Israel” ever. And when he made those remarks he held no official position nor had he for almost 30 years. He was criticized in Israel not only because of those remarks but for bigoted remarks me made about Jews who he didn’t think were religious enough and women. He was a racist and a bigot, but in no way spoke for Israel when he made those remarks. Oh and he also was an Arab Jew who was born in Iraq and given the name Abdullah Youseff at birth. Anyone who knew anything about this guy would know this, unless he was purposely just trying to spread propaganda and was being deceitful by leaving out this information, or he he was too dumb to research it himself before posting it and relied on some propagandist web site that relies on people being too dumb to check out if what they say is true. Which category do you fall into Al?
Haha, you must admitt, this jewish name change game is really a bit complicated for us dumd gentiles to follow. Abdullah Youssef becomes ovadia yosef, auerbach becomes rahm emanuel , scheinermann becomes ariel sharon, ben-gurion was formerly known as prince…äh, nonsense, as David Grün….you Guys really have faible for deception, haven’t you? :)
If this gentile-hating rabbi is such an irrelevant figure, hot is it possible, that he got the largest funeral in israel’s history?
And hot Do you explain These Statements.
“We’ve been left orphans,” Aryeh Deri, the political leader of the Shas political party steered by Yosef, wailed at a funeral ceremony. “We have no father. We have no leader.”
According to the Times of Israel, Yosef was a “genius of Torah who brought thousands closer to Jewish halacha” (laws).
Israeli President Shimon Peres paid personal tribute, saying that he “was a great man with an unbelievable memory and the wisdom to share his knowledge with others. His contribution was his love for Israel and he solved problems no-one else could solve using his wisdom and spirituality.”
According to the new Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef–the son of the recently deceased former chief, there “was no one like him, and there will not be in the future.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quoted as saying that Chief Rabbi Yosef was “one of the most important Jewish legal authorities of our generation.”
That you are dumb has nothing to do with you being a gentile. Nor does the fact that you got caught making multiple false statements and wern’t honest enough to admit to them. I didn’t say he was irrelevant I said he didn’t speak for Israel when he made those statements as you falsely claimed. Face you are spreading falsehoods just like the Nazis did. As a German Iwould think you would know about that Alex. Why do so many anti zionists act like Nazis Alex? Oh and Since you are a self pro claimed expert on the Nazis please tell me hoe you feel about Hitler’s relationship, with the Grand Mufti of Palestine.
That you are dumb has nothing to do with you being a Jew. Face it, you are spreading malicious falsehoods , just like the Nazis did, ziopath.
You mean this so called grand Mufti that was never elected or choosen by the palestinians but installed by a british jew, Herbert Samuels, High commissioner of palestine? Well, I have no idea was Samuels picked him oft.
Perhaps you can tell me why s amuels did this. And perhaps you can also tell me why german zionists coopereted with the nazis, who allowed them to operate training camps for jewish terrorists inside Germany! HOW Do you Feel about the zionist friendship with Adolf Eichmann, yes, THIS Adolf Eichmann, who was invite to jerusalem by the jewish haganah. They made special coins to remember this extraordinary friendship with a star of david on one side and a swastika on the other. Go, and do a bit google about this and about the ha’avara agreement. :))))
Chma
Wrong yet again Alex. He was elected to The Supreme Muslim Council with authority over all the Muslim waqfs and sharia courts in Palestine. on 9 January 1922, the fifty-three former electors to the last Ottoman parliament, elected Hajj Am?n al-Husseini as president, by a vote of 40 out of 47.
In 1936, all the Palestinian Arab groups joined to create a permanent executive organ known as the Arab Higher Committee under al-Husseini’s chairmanship.
This must be frustrating for you Alex how may tales have you told that I debunked in just this short period?
Ah I See, you are a very educated Person and an allround expert. There is just one little point, you have to work on. Your reading compehension skills are as great as my knowledge of mandarin: non-existing :))
I wrote, thar this mufti was never elected to this position by the palestinians and you ins ist, that Not true, because he elected to the muslim supreme court by the Ottoman’s.
I ask you, are the ottomans palestinians? Is
member of the Muslim Supreme court the Same Position as Grand mufti of Jerusalem??
Do you really believe people are that stupid, that they can’t See this are t wo totally different things??
“Al-Husseini’s appointment as mufti was itself the subject of much controversy. The decision to grant al-Husseini the position was made by Herbert Samuel, the first high commissioner of Palestine. It was odd that Samuel, a British Jew, would appoint a man who would be responsible for so much unrest within the Mandatory area. Al-Husseini in fact had been sentenced to ten years in prison by the British for inciting riots in 1920. None of that sentence was served, as al-Husseini had fled to Transjordan, and was soon after amnestied by Samuel himself.”
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/haj-amin-al-husseini
Yes those riots culmimated with the Jews being ethnically cleansed from Hebron. The point is he was still chosen as an Arab leader by Arabs. Did you read the part of my post that said: 1936, all the Palestinian Arab groups joined to create a permanent executive organ known as the Arab Higher Committee under al-Husseini’s chairmanship.
What about all Palestinian groups dont you understand.
well, the ethnical cleansing of innocent people ist always a crime, isn’t it?
Unfortunately those riots in hebron didn’t come out from nowhere. They had a history, which is told by one of the first Zionists, Ahad Ha’am aka Asher Ginsberg:
“We who live abroad are accustomed to believe that almost all Eretz Yisrael is now uninhabited desert and whoever wishes can buy land there as he pleases. But this is not true. It is very difficult to find in the land [ha’aretz] cultivated fields that are not used for planting.
We who live abroad are accustomed to believing that the Arabs are all wild desert people who, like donkeys, neither see nor understand what is happening around them. But this is a grave mistake. The Arab, like all the Semites, is sharp minded and shrewd.
All the townships of Syria and Eretz Yisrael are full of Arab merchants who know how to exploit the masses and keep track of everyone with whom they deal – the same as in Europe. The Arabs, especially the urban elite, see and understand what we are doing and what we wish to do on the land, but they keep quiet and pretend not to notice anything. For now, they do not consider our actions as presenting a future danger to them. … But, if the time comes that our people’s life in Eretz Yisrael will develop to a point where we are taking their place, either slightly or significantly, the natives are not going to just step aside so easily
He urged the Jews “not to provoke the anger of the native people by doing them wrong…
we should be cautious in our dealings with a foreign people among whom we returned to live, to handle these people with love and respect and, needless to say, with justice and good judgment.
And what do our brothers do? Exactly the opposite! They were slaves in their Diasporas, and suddenly they find themselves with unlimited freedom, wild freedom that only a country like Turkey [the Ottoman Empire] can offer. This sudden change has planted despotic tendencies in their hearts, as always happens to former slaves [‘eved ki yimlokh – when a slave becomes king – Proverbs 30:22].
They deal with the Arabs with hostility and cruelty, trespass unjustly, beat them shamefully for no sufficient reason, and even boast about their actions.
There is no one to stop the flood and put an end to this despicable and dangerous tendency. Our brothers indeed were right when they said that the Arab only respects he who exhibits bravery and courage.
But when these people feel that the law is on their rival’s side and, even more so, if they are right to think their rival’s actions are unjust and oppressive, then, even if they are silent and endlessly reserved, they keep their anger in their hearts. And these people will be revengeful like no other.”
Unfortunately Hebron proofed him to be right!
He was right about what? That it is ok to blame the victim? At least if the victims are Jews right Alex?
Waaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!
Your zio terrorist scum can fuck off to where their grandparents came from if they don’t like Palestinians or Palestine.
Yea, and if your precious criminal gang of foreign zio Jew infiltrators, terrorists and murderers tried to do in Britain or America what they did in Palestine, every last fucking Jew would have been sent packing.
The point is The Palestinians don’t owe Jews a fucking favor and if your precious zio asshole scum don’t like Palestine, Palestinians or Arabs, they’re more than welcome to fuck off back to where their grandparents came from.
Your ignorance of Judaism is par for the course, you delusional little israel-worshipping ziopath:
I believe this move by trump is meant to increase tensions and cause a conflict that will take the focus off the bombshell that is coming with Flynn and the Russia investigation. Otherwise what purpose does it serve.
You mean this Flynn/Russia investigation, that’s actually a Flynn/Israel investigation, with a jewish first son-in-law acting as agent for the jewish apartheid state and it’s totally illegal jewish settlements on totally illegal expropriated palestinian land in the totally illegal occupied west bank?
Shush alex you are supposed to say “zionist first son in law” not jewish. I love when the mask falls and you guys stop making any pretense about who you hate.
Get back to me when you can provide evidence that Israel attacked Jordan first during the ’67 war you dimwit bigot.
Haha, I’m quite open about what I hate! I hate injustice and racism, I hate selfdeclared Herrenmenschen and apartheid and I hate illogical people who claim that their jewishness entitles them to create a jewish state on stolen land but start to whine and cry if a jew is called a jewish. That’s simply crazy!
What self declared herrenmenschen? You know as little about Judaism as you do about Jordan during the ’67 war.
Well, I’m german, unfortunately knowing a lot about this sh*t and therefore I will never understand and never accept, that someone calles himself a choosen Herrenmensch who has a right to steal some Lebensraum from the subhuman eastern Untermenschen. Is this a problem for you?
I have no doubt you know about the Master Race, but unfortunately you no nothing abut Judaism. You clearly don’t know anything about what chooses means in the context of the Jewish religion. Just like you were wrong about Jordan and the 68 war, and just like you showed your ignorance about that rabbi you claimed spoke for Israel, have once again shown your ignorance about what Jews mean when they use the term chosen.
Well, a short look at apartheid israel Shows the world what zionist jews mean when they use the Term chosen. Except the gas chambers they try their best to copy the Nazis.
And again you show your ignorance Alex. The term chosen has to do with being chosen to spread the word of god. It is considered a burden not specialness. Learn something.
Except for the gas chambers your lies show you are trying your best to copy the Nazis doesn’t it Alex? Or doesn’t being compared with Nazis not count in your case because you are special?
Why use a gas chamber when other means of “cleansing” works just as well.
Hence the term zionazis.
The 66% of the Jews in Europe died during the Holocaust. By contrast the Palestinian population in the WB and Gaza has increased 400% since 1967. Another disgusting claim by Grace debunked .
Haha, you nailed it. Jews in europe we’re Killed by europeans. So why should the palestinians Pay the price for this european crime??? That’s totally insane, :))
Who said Palestinians should pay any price? We were discussing your and Gtaces claim of there being a holacaust in I/P. Now back up your claim, otherwise admit you were wrong yet again.
you claimed that the palestinian population in the WB and the Gaza ghetto has increased by 400% but somehow forgot to mention that their population share in whole palestine dropped dramatically from about 97% before the start of jewish invasion to about 50% today.
Because we were talking about your and Graces comparision to the Holocaust. Not emigration by Jews. Or are you saying that the fact that as a percentage the ethic German polulation in Germany is smaller today then in 1960 means there has been a holocaust in Germany?
lol, here it is again, this little problem with your reading comprehension skills. :)) Neither grace nor I did ever mention the so called Holocaust.
I stand correted , you said just like the Nazis except for the gas chambers and Grace said it had the same effect as the gas chambers. How does just like the Nazis not include the Holocaust? Oh and I notice you term it the “so called” holocaust. Why “so called”?
Because you call it so.
As you already noticed I’m no native english speaker but even I understend the meaning of “except”. Obviously “like nazis except gas chamber” explicitely exclude the holocaust.
Gee for someone who knows so much about the Nazis I would think you would know that about 1/2 the Jewish victims of the holocaust were killed via gas.
From the a Polish Interior Ministry prepared a report, Sprawozdanie 6/42,[323][330] which said at the end:
“There are different methods of execution. People are shot by firing squads, killed by an “air hammer”, and poisoned by gas in special gas chambers. Prisoners condemned to death by the Gestapo are murdered by the first two methods. The third method, the gas chamber, is employed for those who are ill or incapable of work and those who have been brought in transports especially for the purpose/Soviet prisoners of war, and, recently Jews”
As a German why don’t you know this Alex?
Since frum little israel-worshipping ziopaths like you are such holocaust experts, can you please clarify why you’re still insisting that six million Jews died, when the plaques at Auschwitz-Birkenau stating the numbers who died there were revised down to “about one and a half million” from the previous “four million”, when the “official” death count at Auschwitz-Birkenau was actually closer to one million people (the last time I checked), and when the death count has been further revised downwards according to quasi-official sources?
Oh because I called it that, what do you call it?
I call it a racist crime.
Tell me, are than any special terms for the killing of 27 million russians during WW 2??
That`s more than 4 times the alleged number of jews killed in the same period.
(I use the term alleged because when I went to school the official number of jewish victims was 4 millions, today it’s 6 millions despite the fact, that for example Auschwitz hat to correct the official number of jewish casualties from 4 millions to 1.1 millions, maybe when my grandchildren will go to school we have 8 or 10 million victims))
And WTF what has this whole sh*t to do with the palestinians, who lost their land as “reparation” for european crimes????
Israel attacked the US Liberty killing and injuring its crew, as a false flag designed to blame Egypt so the US would enter the war. Admiral McCain, John McCain’s dad, ordered the stand down and coverup
http://www.theguardian.com%2Fworld%2F2001%2Faug%2F08%2Fisrael
A false flag to blame Egypt? When did Israel ever try and blame Israel foe what happened or in fact when did they even deny that they attacked the Liberty? Besides what does the Liberty have to do with what we are talking about? Can you actually find one thing I posted that was false?
This bunch of zionazis also made several terror attacks in Egypt.
The Lavon affair refers to a failed Israeli covert operation, code named Operation Susannah, conducted in Egypt in the Summer of 1954.[vague] As part of the false flag operation,[1] a group of Egyptian Jews were recruited by Israeli military intelligence to plant bombs inside Egyptian, American, and British-owned civilian targets, cinemas, libraries and American educational centers. The bombs were timed to detonate several hours after closing time. The attacks were to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian Communists, “unspecified malcontents” or “local nationalists” with the aim of creating a climate of sufficient violence and instability to induce the British government to retain its occupying troops in Egypt’s Suez Canal zone.
After Israel publicly denied any involvement in the incident for 51 years, the surviving agents were officially honored in 2005 by being awarded certificates of appreciation by Israeli President Moshe Katzav.
Reminds me a bit of 9/11…..
Isn’t it funny how rapist katzav “honors” some tribesmen for committing Terror attacks in a neighbouring country while at the Same Time they are complaining aboutbpalestinian “terrorism” which according to international law is a legitimate resistance to the illegal occupation by jewish terrorists?!? Crazy world!!
So, as you are such an expert, who don’t you tell us a bit more about this Samua “incident”, that your cited above?
On November 13, 1966, Israel invaded the West Bank to collectively punish the civilian population of the village of Samu for the killing of three Israeli soldiers by the Palestinian group al-Fatah two days earlier.
Israel’s assumption was that by terrorizing the villagers, they would appeal to King Hussein of Jordan—which administered the West Bank in the wake of the 1948 war and ethnic cleansing of Palestine—to clamp down on Fatah. After rounding up villages in the town square, Israeli forces proceeded to engage in wanton destruction that included the razing, according to UN investigators, of 125 homes, a village clinic, and a school. Three civilians were killed and ninety-six wounded, and the UN Security Council condemned Israel for its “violation of the UN Charter and of the General Armistice Agreement between Israel and Jordan”
As german, I can tell you, that’s exactly what the nazis did !! You must be sooo proud to defend this kind of collective punishment and disgusting massacres against innocent villagers and the racist war criminal state that perpetraded and still !!! perpetrates this kind of nazi crimes.
Jordan didn’t just administer the West Bank they annexed it making it part of Jordan. And those living there became Palestinian citizens. Can you go even one post without being purposely deceitful?
Why would I ever be proud of something like that?
Joseph Goebbels the Nazi propagandist told lies and then did not admit when thy were proved lies just like you are doing Alex. as a German I would think you would know all about that.
Oh, I’m so sorry that I somehow got the impression that you are a fanatical unconditional defender of apartheid israel :))) I can’t imagin how i got it sooo wrong :)))
If you tell me, that Jordan annexed Jerusalem ist must be true because if there is One thing Israelists are experts in, than it’s the annexation of others peoples land
What you got wrong were the facts Alex. Jordan did annex the West Bank and your being ignorant of that fact only speaks to willingness to speak about things you don’t know about. Your back handed admission of this only speaks to your lack of character. If it’s one thing the antizionists on this board are experts in its being ignorant of the facts concerning this conflict and their willingness to lie. :) You have a good day Alex.
Yea, ziopath, as a trustee, at the request of and in agreement with the Palestinians.
Awwwww, did alex hurt your fragile little Zionist feelings, you psychotic little Jew-baiting zio bigot?
Get back to me when you’ve learned to read, ziopath, and can provide evidence that Jordan, which had a defense pact with Egypt, attacked your belligerent Talmud thumping zio war criminals before your belligerent Talmud thumping zio war criminals attacked Egypt.
Besides steal more land from the Palestinians and continue marginalize/delegitimize them and their cause while receiving more and more money and weapons from the US, not much.
How does it ” steal more land” or give them more and more money?
By stealing more land from the Palestinians while receiving more and more money and weapons from the US, you toxic little ziopath.
By creating conflict–provoking Palestinians, doing false flag operations–then claiming to be the victims. The West screams,” Israel has a right to defend itself! Send arms! Send money! They need a buffer zone!” What a scam.
Wait you think Israel created Palestinians. Wow that’s a new one. I think instead of telling America to wake up you should get some sleep. Too funny.
Learn to read English, you illiterate israel-worshipping ziopath.
Learn to read. I said Israel creates conflict by provoking Palestinians. Israel always comes out of it with more money, more land, more military might, more sympathy from the West.
It.Is.A.Scam.
The language and the concept are too complicated for you to understand, eh? Maybe, if you concentrated more on reality and less on spinning Hasbara for your ZioNazi masters, you’d understand simple little sentences.
What a phony you are. You make a claim and then get so pissed off when you get called out on it that you start making false accusations about the person who called you out on it. Face it Peppy you have been exposed.
Left this on the similar congressional reaction post but it didn’t get through:
Pay attention to what John Thune said. Despite the poor attention span of our commander-in-chief, this is likely a well thought out change in policy and undoubtedly coordinated with “Israelis and … the region [i.e. Saudi Arabia]. The surprising part of all the discussion I see about this is that no one seems to be considering the possibility that the provocation is exactly what is desired.
Consider first motive. Both Trump and Netanyahu are fending off legal troubles which the potential to topple them from power. Mohammed bin Salman, recently appointed Crown Prince, is attempting to consolidate power, having recently arrested princes, ministers, and billionaire rivals. What better way to shore up support for themselves than a popular war, or at least an increase in tension? Israel and Saudi Arabia have both been agitating in the region and within the United States against Iranian influence (“support for terror, nuclear weapons, etc.”). Israel is struggling with the impossible desire to maintain security control throughout the territories, keep a significant portion of the territories for settlements, and maintain a Jewish voting majority all while leaving some semblance of democracy and human rights. War with the Palestinians and Iran is the obvious answer.
Next consider recent Saudi Arabian, Israeli, and American moves. Not satisfied with destroying Yemen to decrease Iranian influence there, MBS recently widened the proxy conflict to ostensible allies. He appears to have kidnapped the Prime Minister of Lebanon and his family and forced him to resign. He led a boycott of Qatar, with the Orwellian accusation of funding terrorism. Meanwhile, Israel, long known to be supporting anti-Asad militants in Syria while claiming neutrality, recently made its role more blatant, going so far as to launch missiles at a military installation near Damascus. All the while, Trump works to delegitimize the Iranian nuclear deal, even refusing to certify the deal.
Finally, Trump continues his transformation into a Zionist Sunni. Initially a critic of Saudi Arabian funding of terrorism and a proponent of neutrality in negotiating an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, he now dances with Saudi princes and seems determined to recognize occupied territory as the Israeli capital. Jared Kushner and David Friedman both supported settlements before entering politics, and it seems inconceivable that Trump’s peace agreement will be anything other than an attempt to force the Palestinians to give up as much as possible to the Israelis. Indeed, rumors have it that Abbas was both threatened and bribed on his recent trip to Saudi Arabia in an attempt to negotiate away Palestinian aspirations.
That Trump, Netanyahu and bin Salman have formed a triangle, negotiating a grand plan in the Middle East seems obvious. That this will come at the expense of the Palestinians and Iran seems obvious. Is there any reason to think that the coming violence isn’t positively anticipated?
You are totally right BUT as we’ve seen in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, lebanon and with the kurdish “independence”, all their great plans endend as shameful desasters, that weakend the usraeli axis and strenghten the axis of resistance.
There will be limited outrage in Muslim countries, not the widespread anger or disorder as predicted, everyone knows and have known that the US is no honest broker in the peace talks, this current administration is much the same as the ones that went before it who equally funded and armed Israel whilst demanding the occupied peoples do not arm or seek to defend themselves, this move has been in the making a longtime, previous administrations would just sweep it under the carpet whilst still keeping the option open, trump has just used that very option other administrations could have ended but chose not too.
Obama supplied more arms and funding to Israel than many republican presidents so the narrative between the two political powerhouses of American politics differed very little. A viable Palestinian state ended years ago, this charade of talks is just a time buying device as settlements grow and the world weary with such a long lingering sore spot slowly find other causes to fight for, the Palestinians themselves must shoulder some of the blame, the intrenched infighting has done nothing at all to favour their cause, in fact if a dictionary had to use a picture to describe ” divide and conquer” no doubt the picture would be of the Palestinians.
It is unfortunate that Mr. Trump has disrupted the peace process when it was so close to success.
It was just around the corner, and I was so looking forward to planting a orange orchard there. Snap ;)
it’ s getting harder for the judeo fascists to play the victims whule they rape the world.
Shush, you’re supposed to say zionist fascists.
Why no mention of Chuck Schumer’s push behind this? A person reading this might think that Donald Trump is the only person in DC that wants this.
Which would be patently false.
yes, it will be interesting to see how much push back there is from the haim saban-funded democrats on this one.
Trump and his fellow Nazis in Congress need to roil up the Middle East even more, in hopes of a retaliatory attack on the “Homeland”, which would allow them to roll back democracy even more drastically.
With FBI and Mossad, who needs an authentic retaliatory attack?
Like the flagrant Narcissist he is, Trump seizes every opportunity to grab attention, and with these sociopathic types, negative attention is better than no attention at all. And congratulations to Jared, heckuva job on that Middle East piss…errrr…peace plan.
Definition of narcissist (from Merriam Webster Dictionary)
plural narcissists
: an individual showing symptoms of or suffering from narcissism: such as
a : an extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance
… since the narcissist is so convinced of his high station (most are men), he automatically expects that others will recognize his superior qualities and will tell him so. —Charles Zanor
But unlike the garden-variety snob, narcissists have impaired relationships because they’re unable to enter anyone else’s world. —Adelle Waldman
They’re still raging narcissists with a sense of entitlement stronger than the gravitational field of Jupiter. —Judith Rascoe
b : a person who is overly concerned with his or her physical appearance
I’m like most baby boomers, a narcissist. In pursuit of the perfect body … —Cathy Booth
What is the US thinking? This is sure to piss off Islamists and Anti-Semites around the World. We should really be concerned about their thoughts. The region was so peaceful before this move.
Oh, heavens yes, please, let’s worry about the Islamists and Anti-Semites and fuck the Palestinians.
I stopped reading midway through the first paragraph. It was too depressing to see the Intercept refer to Jerusalem as a “disputed city”. In fact, it is occupied, illegally annexed and colonized in contravention of the Geneva Convention. I thought the Intercept, of all media venues, would acknowledge these facts. “Disputed” gives the impression that two equal parties disagree about something. Kinda like saying the Congo was a “disputed” land during King Leopold’s reign. For shame.
This propaganda slowly creeps into the language. Objectivity has become impossible, not that there ever was any. Israeli treatment of Palestinians, all by itself, is reason to disband the U.N. for its obvious impotence.
We don’t need to disband the U.N. We just need to eliminate the totally illegitimate Security Council and give the General Assembly all the power that the Security Council now has.
Perhaps one should read the NYT or Jerusalem Post –
“Monday, The New York Times published the Palestinian response to an alleged Saudi peace plan. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly presented it to PLO chief and Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas last month.
According to the Times’ report, Mohammed told Abbas he has two months to either accept the Saudi proposal or leave office to make way for a new Palestinian leader who will accept it.
The Palestinians and their European supporters are up in arms about the content of Mohammed’s plan. It reportedly proposes the establishment of limited Palestinian sovereignty over small portions of Judea and Samaria. The Gaza Strip, over which the Palestinians have had full sovereignty since Israel pulled its military forces and civilians out in 2005, would be expanded into the northern Sinai, thus providing economic and territorial viability to the envisioned Palestinian state. While the Palestinians would not receive sovereignty over Jerusalem, they would be able to establish their capital in the Jerusalem suburb of Abu Dis.”
The Middle East politics are changing rapidly with the new Saud willing to broker Israeli / Palestinian peace accord to US support against Iran and thus becoming the Middle East superpower.
This is the new paradigm …
Colonialism-21st Century style..
That seems to be in lined with what was shown in the Palestine Papers leaked back around 2010.
Before reading the NYT, read this..
https://theintercept.com/2017/12/05/drone-strikes-israel-us-military-isvis/
Is there a relevant point you’d like to make – or is thi just an observation on the advancements in modern warfare that make the Intercept a bit squeamish ?
Well it’s like the Indians and “Indian Territory “ now known as Oklahoma..So the Sinai will be Palestinian Territory..after they push the Bedouin out..
The relevance is in that history repeats itself, the relevance is in the way that man on the videotape was describing the ways and means to destroy people’s houses..so they can move to the Sinai
I must admit I didn’t read the research like that … but I am known for interpreting things a little more objectively.
how this for relevant from the Israel drone gaza article “the most startling detail about this whole article is the calm statement regarding Gaza. He coldly and casually states that in the upcoming round of Israeli military actions, we should expect around 1000 buildings to be destroyed. So, earlier this year, escalation and mass destruction of Gaza was already a foregone conclusion”
As I said peviously – statements regarding the impersonal nature of modern warfare seem to make Intercept reader’s a bit squeamish. Do you not know the history of conflict across the globe ?
This is why we should be speaking and acting in peace.
We overlook the law of human nature at our collective peril: People who feel they have nothing to lose are likely to do anything.
Granting Likud’s grab for power may very likely be their end. Of course, they will drag Israel down with them.
Well said!
Do the Zionist want a violent reaction from Muslims?
The Zionists will counter punch against a violent reaction, “justifying” increased oppression and increased land theft.
The Palestinians lose if they accept whatever carp deal is being foisted upon them by the Trump administration. They lose if they fight back.
Lose-lose for the Palestinians, win-win for the Zionists.
Might even be good for the stock prices of weapons manufacturers (think MIC).
I await the Gulf States’ reaction.
The U.S. has been helping Israel shit on international laws for almost 70 years. Recognizing the militarily-occupied and colonized Free City of Jerusalem as the capital of the “Jewish State” of Israel would be the latest dump…but it would be a big one.
What do Trump, Netanyahu, Kushner, and others care, if the Muslim world will be totally upset about this? They provoke, and when Muslims react, they point out to how violent they are.
If this was the other way around, and the embassy was moved to a sensitive area benefitting the Palestinians, their would be the usual howls of “anti-semitism” from Netanyahu and his cabal.
Give right wing Israel exactly what they want…and stand back as they go up in flames.
