The Israel Police is preparing for the US embassy's official opening ceremony in Jerusalem with thousands of policeman deployed through the city. At 4:00 PM the official ceremony will take place at the US Consulate in the Armona neighborhood of Jerusalem, which will officially become the US embassy this week.
Palestinians throughout the West Bank and Jerusalem were urged to turn out en masse to protest the embassy move.....
3:11 PM Protest death toll rises to 28, Gaza Health ministry reports.......
(Excerpt) Read more at haaretz.com ...
The violent and deadly reaction is underway as well.
bkmrk!
Death toll report comes from Hamas.
Violence on the border will continue for some time
Fox pictured a drone dropping what appeared to be a cluster of tear gas bombs. The immediate effect was dispersal of the Palis below.
I understand that Jeffers, the first major evangelical to back Trump over Cruz, will give the prayer. Since Cruz will also be there, it might be interesting in the Texas contingent.
Who knows what will happen? A few dozen dead muzzies can’t be all bad. It would be nice if they fought their own wars and left the US out of it.
Trump is such an IDIOT - now he has the Palestinians mad at the Israelis.
(crappy attempt at a joke, but just watch the Dems/Media, they’re likely to claim just that)
Something to keep in mind.
Information coming from one side has been a big problem in Syria with the Al-Qaeda jihadists and sympathizers claiming numerous atrocities including the alleged “chemical attacks” which our leaders chose to believe as truth.
The figures on casualties coming out of Gaza today are fantastic with over 1600 reported injured.
But Israeli military noted a big buildup on the border today with 10,000 committed militant protestors ready to go for the fence.
The embassy move to Jerusalem was the right thing to do.
The suicidal insanity of the protestors is beyond Trump’s control.
Anyone with a live link to the festivities?
This is not a deadly reaction to the US opening its embassy in Jerusalem ... although the timing doesn't help.
Today, May 14, 2018 is the 70th anniversary of the creation of the state of Israel. For the Israelis today is Independence Day and is greeted with celebrations.
For the Palestinians this day is the 70th anniversary of their displacement from their home. For the Palestinians today is Nakba Day and is greeted with demonstrations.
May 14 1948...
Israel formed as a Nation.
A few dozen dead Muslims is just as bad as a few dozen of anyone. They weren't committing terrorist acts. They were protesting our Embassy being moved into disputed territory.

“The embassy move to Jerusalem was the right thing to do.”
In fact it was THE LAW in the United States. The fact that the former presidents both promised to enforce it upon taking office and then immediately BROKE their promise is not Trump’s fault.
If the Left doesn’t like the embassy moving, they should have RESCINDED that law, back when Obama was president, or before.
Israel celebrates its birthday according to the Hebrew calendar, which was a month ago.
I see Jared, Ivanka, Alan Dershowitz, the President of Israel and the Prime Minister.
So? Why does the world record the date as May 14th?
I caught Ted Cruz in the crowd as well.
