Mayor de Blasio, on Israel Trip, Plans Visit With Palestinians

Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York intends to meet with members of Israel’s Palestinian community during his first Middle East visit since taking office, a gesture toward inclusivity by one of the country’s most liberal leaders and a sharp break from his predecessors. Stories from Our Advertisers

Mr. de Blasio, who will depart for Jerusalem on Thursday, examined the possibility of visiting Ramallah, in the West Bank, during his three-stay stay in Israel.

That trip is now unlikely to happen in part because of security concerns related to the recent outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian violence in the region.

His last name is NOT DeBlasio. It’s Wilhelm. He’s only part Italian and he’s an embarrassment.

There are schools where Arabs and Jews go together? i wonder if they get along.

This ally of the viciously anti-Semitic Sandinistas (they burned Managua's only synagogue) is Mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Tel Aviv? Outrageous. When he discusses antisemitism in Israel, perhaps he will mention how revolutionary it is.

I think Wilhelm should just take a stroll through the arab quarter and east Jerusalem with no armed guards

Feel the Palestinian love

I’d rather he had a meeting with an Israeli D9 Caterpillar, just like Rachel Corrie.

He needs to first go and apologize to the Haredim for defiling Times Square (through which they sometimes must pass) with his topless Moabite whores. Israel has enough yetzer hara to deal with already, they don’t need his.
