Jerusalem 'Fallout' Updates....

[AZJoe]

I do think that GOD allowed the state of Israel to be created perhaps as punishment for the muslims and perhaps to be used as a placeholder for HIS Israel that he will yet bring forth. ... GODs work can't be frustrated, if it were necessary he would use biblical level miracles to create HIS Israel in spite of whatever happened to this one, but he may chose to reform this Israel into HIS.

 

[AZJoe]

... they are too weak or cowardly to accomplish those things on their own so they attempt to manipulate/blackmail the rest of the world into doing it for them.

Really? That's the argument. And was it the so called "Israelis" that took Palestine forcibly or did they rely upon the "rest of the world" as in UK to do that for them? Who provided the weapons and the billions of dollars in foreign aid and the political cover for the systemic forcible taking of territory and peoples? Oh yeah, that's right, they relied on the "rest of the world" to provide that for them as in US/UK. But will the sword label the Israel "weak and cowardly" for relying on US/UK.

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

And while sword rightly condemns US assistance in arming, funding and supporting ISIS, Al Qaeda Saudi dictatorship aggression in Yemen, funding revolution, where is the condemnation for supporting and aiding the Israeli government's aggression over the decades. US funding alone at $3 billion a year, plus training, military and intelligence cooperation, weapons supply, logistics, political cover, and more. But when the government of Israel relies on US/UK to tilt the scales of its violence , well then its the victims' fault for resisting in the methods they can, and simultaneously the victims are "weak and cowardly" because the don't have the outside superpower assistance that is provided to the Israeli government. Such mentality is inherently self-contradictory.

The situation and the history in that part of the world is VERY complex and no side has clean hands or my support, the only thing we can do about it is to pull out and let GOD be their judge.

Amid ongoing controversy over the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem, a Bahraini delegation has arrived in Israel to "send a message of peace", according to media reports.
A report in the Times of Israel on Sunday said the visit indicated a warming of ties between the two countries, which do not maintain diplomatic relations.
Comprising two dozen members of a group called This Is Bahrain, the delegation will stay in Israel for four days to "send a message of religious tolerance and coexistence", according to the Times.

NY Port Authority suspect blames bombing on Israeli actions in Gaza

NEW YORK — The suspect in a pipe bomb attack on this city’s Port Authority Bus Terminal said he was motivated by Israeli actions in Gaza, CNN reported.

Akayed Ullah spoke with authorities at Bellevue Hospital, where he was taken after the bomb went off prematurely. He was among four people injured in the attack when his homemade bomb partially detonated in a tunnel connecting the Times Square subway station with the Midtown Manhattan transit hub during Monday’s morning rush hour.

New York Police identified Ullah, 27, as a resident of Brooklyn. He is said to be of Bangladeshi origin and has lived in the United States for the past seven years. CNN cited a “law enforcement source” who said Ullah said he was upset with an unspecified “incursion into Gaza.”

On Friday, rockets fired at southern Israel from Gaza damaged the entrance of an empty kindergarten in the town of Sderot. Israel responded late Friday night with airstrikes on Hamas military installations in Gaza that killed two Hamas operatives.

On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces discovered and demolished a terror tunnel that crossed into Israel from central Gaza.

Trump's first terrorist.

 

[Raginfridus]

the propagandists and virtue signalers are distorting the truth

Pathetic. You'll stop at nothing to re-frame every bone people have to pick with Trump's stupid foreign policies as an assault against [your] truth, which is clearly whatever angle favors Trump.

The irony is that what the president said does not concede those rights and claims. His recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital reflects a reality that it is the seat of Israel’s government and that, for the Jewish state, Jerusalem will always be its capital — there is no other city that could be. For Palestinians, they too no doubt cannot envision any city but Jerusalem as the capital of their state, if and when it emerges from moribund negotiations. The president’s statement does not rule that out: On the contrary, he said that the United States is not taking a position on “the specific boundaries of the Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, or the resolution of contested borders.” Those questions, he said, “are up to the parties involved.”

There is no irony.

Israel is our colony, meaning it does not exist w/o the USG's Mid East presence. Trump now recognizes Jerusalem as that colony's capital, which means any challenge to their choice for new capital will be met by our military, and there will be more challenges simply because of this stupid move. Trump's neocon pals in Likud will not initiate or participate in any further talks, so long as we've given them Jerusalem, and that's exactly what the carrot's done. The Israelis will never hand half the city over to a future, hypothetical Palestine, now that they have full cooperation from USG for making the move permanent. Our colonists will continue removing Palestinians and settling Israelis in their place, until in ten years time there won't be a Semite left in Jerusalem.

Sorry but I condemn just about every other foreign policy move that Trump has made.

None of that is any different now than it was before, Israel was NEVER going to give up Jerusalem in whole or in part and we have been totally committed to their defense for longer than I have been alive.

Whether you think we own them or they are independent doesn't matter, one way we are telling the truth about something we have been lying about for decades and the other way we correctly recognized a sovereign state's capital.
