Psaki: Jerusalem Construction 'Exacerbates' Violence
Arutz Sheva ^ | 13/11/14

Posted on 11/12/2014 3:40:00 PM PST by Eleutheria5

The United States Wednesday sharply condemned Israeli plans to build 200 new Jewish homes in Jerusalem's Ramot neighborhood, according to AFP, warning such moves would only "exacerbate" spiraling tensions in the city.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki also denounced the alleged torching of a mosque blamed on suspected Jewish extremists calling it a "hateful and provocative" act and urging officials to investigate.

"We are deeply concerned by this decision, particularly given the tense situation in Jerusalem, as well as the unequivocal and unanimous position of the United States and others in the international community opposing such construction in east Jerusalem," Psaki told reporters.

"These decisions to expand construction have the potential to exacerbate this difficult situation on the ground, and they will not contribute to efforts to reduce the tension."

The announcement came just ahead of the arrival of US Secretary of State John Kerry in Jordan where he was to meet Jordanian King Abdullah II to discuss the flare-up in tensions over a private dinner.

Building tenders for Jewish homes in the Jewish state "fly in the face of the stated goal of achieving a two-state solution because it predetermines or pre-decides where construction should be," Psaki insisted.

The State Department’s Barbie Bimbos, Psaki and Harf are nauseatingly stupid. Imagine career foreign service experts having to work with them not to mention Hillary pantsuit and Lurch.

Of course it does, the presence of Juden anywhere promotes violence. It's in America's interest to create another Judenrein state in the Mideast, and a Judenrein Jerusalem. Doubt most Americans think so, but the face of America to the world is our President and Secretary of State

The US State Department.

Enemies of the United States since 1933.

Foggy Bottom should be bulldozed into the Potomac.

The security of the United States would improve twenty-fold.

The two state solution is a fantasy.

Mohammed never went to Jerusalem so why is the Temple Mount so holy to Muzzies?

They built a mosque on the Temple Mount as a sign of conquest.

The proposed mosque by Ground Zero was intended to do the same thing. SOP for Muzzie trash.

Israel should ban all Muslims from the Temple Mount.

You are never going to appease the Muslims so you have to show them who is boss.

That is the only language they have understood for 1400 years of their Satanic, murderous pseudo-religion.

Yes, Virginia. There are people who get paid to say stupid things. Make sure to believe everything your leftist professors tell you in college, and you, too, can be a career idiot.

Alternatively, believe nothing and say anything for money or power. Not sure which is in effect here.

Not a peep out of the lying beeotch regarding the “car intifada”, bombings, and stabbings.

“The two state solution is a (racist) fantasy (that if implemented fully and fairly would destroy the world; only the hypocrisy of its proponents saves us all).”

There. Puff. Pant. Puff. Fixed it. Pant.

That’s all being caused by building houses in Jerusalem (using Arab workers). You heard her.

“Believe nothing and say anything for money and power” is for people with real power. Psaki’s just a messenger girl, whose sole qualification is that she won’t think for herself, and probably no longer can, if she ever did.

Think of her as Ju Di in the first Avatar series:

Her assistant,Marie Harf,is as bad. This is how low our government has sunk.

Jen Psaki and Marie Harf: The Laverne and Shirley of the Obama administration.

Laverne and Shirley were cute and funny.

Psaki and Harf are dour and homely.
