The State Department has issued a warning for U.S. citizens traveling anywhere in the world after the Trump administration announced its decision to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognizing it as the capital of Israel.
The alert, posted on December 6, is a “worldwide caution” that asks U.S. citizens to be on high-alert when traveling.
“As terrorist attacks, political upheaval, and violence often take place without any warning, U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness when traveling,” it reads. “In addition to concerns stemming from terrorism, travelers should be alert to the possibility of political unrest, violence, demonstrations, and criminal activities when traveling. Country-specific information pages and Travel Warnings should be consulted to obtain the latest data on such threats.”
According to the Associated Press’s longtime diplomatic correspondent, this is the first time such a warning has been released over a policy decision since 2003, when the Iraq War began.
“The last time the @statedept issued a "Worldwide Caution" because of a US policy decision was March 2003 at the start of the Iraq war,” he said on Twitter.

Diplomatic staff in Israel meanwhile have been banned from traveling to the West Bank and Old City over Palestinian riots.
“With widespread calls for demonstrations beginning December 6 in Jerusalem and the West Bank, U.S. government employees and their family members are not permitted until further notice to conduct personal travel in Jerusalem’s Old City and in the West Bank, to include Bethlehem and Jericho,” a December 5 statement reads. “Official travel by U.S. government employees in Jerusalem’s Old City and in the West Bank is permitted only to conduct essential travel and with additional security measures. United States citizens should avoid areas where crowds have gathered and where there is increased police and/or military presence. We recommend that U.S. citizens take into consideration these restrictions and the additional guidance contained in the Department of State’s travel warning for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza when making decisions regarding their travel.”
While the administration is now officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the embassy move will be delayed for “logistical reasons.”
How much of this warning is real - an increased risk to American citizens from terrorists? How much is just the Deep State trying to blame President Trump for the constant dangers inherent in a world with a billion people who support terrorism?
The alert should say: beware of muzzies on Fridays after their services, during and after ramadamadingdong, before Christmas, after Christmas, before Easter, after Easter, in m*slim countries, or in areas where there are m*slims.
That about covers it.
Nothing new.
The warning doesn’t surprise me and is of valid concern. With all the ‘refugee immigration’ happening a very volatile stage has been set for worldwide terrorism or worse.
...because Odungo’s multi-billion
dollar playoff doesn’t cover Trump
playoff = payoff
I think this is just revenge on Americans by the swamp creatures at State. They hate Israel, hate Trump, and despise ordinary Americans like me.
EXCELLENT POINT!
And we can be sure that the Propaganda Machine (aka the "news media") will amplify the disinformation.
Sean Hannity was magnificent last night in exposing how the Federal Government, and specifically the "Mueller Investigation", have degenerated into a recrudescence of the Gestapo/NKVD.

I watched it. He was inches away from pulling a Beck and starting to cry. Unfortunately it appears that the one person who can do something about this is focusing on the opiod epidemic and not draining the swamp.
Yes, Sessions.
These days, you need to be on high alert going to the corner convenience store.
Yep.
Islam is a religion of peace.
Now there is a global warning for American citizens from global islam.
Sounds like a global international government preparing to act.
And yet people want to call it a religion, in spite of the facts. Are communists a form of religion?
Islamonazis, Global islamnazis.
Ya' learn something new every day here.
Arab-Muslim-Paleostinians are in a state of perma-rage. No need to aggravate them, it’s a permanent case of Terminal Hemorrhoids...

...........
All Deep State and it is insulting that Tillerson allowed or did this.
Just don’t show any YouTube videos critical of Islam and we have nothing to worry about...........
But is this valid concern connected to moving our embassy to Israel's capital, as implied, or is the warning merely a reminder of the status quo?
IOW, muzzies are animals. Beware of the animals....
In these last days everyone should be aware of whom they are among at all times.
It’s a good word. We see the recrudescence of lots of nasty things these days. Once we’ve stomped ‘em out, they don’t go away; we have to keep stomping.
