Germany warns US against recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital
Deutsche Welle ^ | 12.05.2017 | amp, ls/se (AP, dpa, Reuters)

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel on Tuesday warned the US about the dangers of moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

“Recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel does not calm a conflict; rather, it fuels it even more,” Gabriel said. “It’s in everyone’s interest that this does not happen.”

Despite widespread international opposition to the move, Trump is expected to recognize the city as Israel’s capital on Wednesday. A senior administration official speaking on the condition of anonymity told AFP news agency that the president would make the announcement during a speech slated for 1 p.m. local time (1800 UTC). But Trump will reportedly also sign a legal waiver that would delay moving the embassy by another six months. […]

In Europe, the US proposal has been met with skepticism and warnings. French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that he reminded Trump that the status of Jerusalem should be determined during negotiations for a two-state solution.

After meeting with US State Secretary Rex Tillerson on Tuesday, Federica Mogherini, the EU’s top diplomat, said any action that risked undermining efforts to restart peace talks “must absolutely be avoided.” …

If the Israeli PM came out and said we should not do this, I’d listen. Some German politician? Feh, whatever. Ignore and move on.

The Palestinians will get upset? They’re always upset
The muslim world will get upset? They’re always upset

Just do it.

Exactly! And their “warning” is exactly the kind of signal we need to know that we are DOING THE RIGHT THING!

I think we are done with Peace talks. To the other side, they are capitulation talks. Bush and Clinton, then Obama proved this. There is no interest in Peace, just an interest in pushing Israel into the sea.

Should we recognize Berlin or Bonn as the German capital? It seems when the Germanys reunited, we were just fine moving our embassy to Berlin and accepted this as the unified German capital. Since Israel says Jerusalem is its capital, who are we to say it’s not? What gives the Germans the right to tell the Israelis where to put their capital? The Knesset is in Jerusalem, the prime minister works in Jerusalem, all major government activity is conducted in Jerusalem. It makes sense for all countries to accept the obvious; Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. The fact that the opinion of the Arab street makes the Germans and other Europeans tremble, says more about them than Trump making this move.

Hey Hitler-Merkel, remember the last time you said something bad about the Jews? Remember what happened?

Bible Code “DAMASCUS WILL BE DESTROYED” from Bible Code Codesearcher Kyle

This table is very relevant especially right now because there’s so much turmoil regarding Donald Trump’s wanting to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.

Under the heading: You Can’t Make the Stuff Up!
The verse in the plain text, right above the access phrase, “Damascus will be destroyed”, is Zechariah Chapter 12:2.

ZEC12:02 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

God. KING JAMES BIBLE TOUCH - KJV (Kindle Locations 37152-37154). Kindle Edition.

This access phrase occurs only once it the Bible, and confirms the link between Isaiah 17 and Zechariah 12.

No dates have been found in the matrix, but the skip of 23278 characters suggests (2+3)5(5+2)778 ==> 5778

Germany is destroying the lives of its own citizens. Why should we listen as it gives advice to us?

Germans have a knack for starting horrible wars... and always on the wrong side.

Guess they’re doing it again...

Well said. When the Germans said they were moving their capital to Berlin we followed them.

But the Weenies have a whole lot of new guests who they seem to be more interested in listening to rather than logic and reason.

I could be wrong, but I thought there was something in the terms of Germany’s Surrender in WWII that their capital could not be in Berlin.

God is punishing Germany for Hitler’s murder of 6 million Jewish men, women and CHILDREN!!! Hitler made big pals with the Muzzies from Palestine, and the mooo-ftee of Jerusalem. So, now God is allowing those same muzzies to over run Germany. Enjoy Germany. You are getting what you sewed. Good.
