So what the hell is the embassy doing running around Israel, meeting with Palestinians?
How would we like the Israeli consulate in Ferguson palling around with the hands up crowd?
With their security detachment armed with full-auto weapons. The US embassy people have no business sticking their noses into the affairs of the host country.
Just proves that our relations with our allies is at the bottom.
The consulate obviously was working with the police to some degree. If not, the police would not be standing up for them on this.
Secondly, we never asked Israel or western powers to help us get land back or to help facilitate this or anything else in any way back in the 40’s or in 1967.
Third, law enforcement and those working with them should not have people in Ferguson throwing bottles and rocks at them - this is unacceptable behavior.
Nor should Israeli's be brandishing clubs to use against these people over in Israel or throwing objects at them when they are investigating claims. That is a mob mentality - and it is unacceptable everywhere - and the defense of “they shouldn't have been there in the first place won't cut it.”
Or will we have one mentality regarding how we want law enforcement and those working with them to be treated in this country and turn around and say that that law enforcement and those working with them can be treated another way in Israel. That is not a reasonable, rational nor logical approach.
We must hold Palestinians, Israeli and American citizens to the same standards.
