House Democrats Warn Israel Against Sovereignty Plan for Judea and Samaria
Legal Insurrection ^ | 06/27/2020 | Vijeta Uniyal

Posted on 06/27/2020 2:03:12 PM PDT by Rusty0604

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have released an open letter warning the Israeli government against applying sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria region. The letter addressed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior members of his government was endorsed by 191 out of 233 House Democrats. None of the 197 Republicans in the House supported the move.

“[W]e express our deep concern with the stated intention to move ahead with any unilateral annexation of West Bank territory, and we urge your government to reconsider plans to do so,” the House Democrats wrote, referring to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s proposed plan to apply Israeli law to Judea and Samaria, an area which Israel acquired in the defensive war of 1967.

Addressed to Netanyahu, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, the letter implores Jerusalem to halt its plan, saying it would erode the possibility of a two-state solution and damage Israel’s ties with America.

Presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden also opposes the proposed Israeli measure which complies with the Trump Peace Plan. “I do not support annexation,” Biden said on May 19, referring to Israeli sovereignty plan. He also vowed to undo the measures taken by President Trump. “I’m going to reverse Trump administration steps which I think significantly undercut the prospects of peace,” he added. This includes moving the U.S. embassy out of Jerusalem, media reports said.

By opposing Israel’s right to extend sovereignty, the House Democrats have firmly positioned themselves in line with the United Nations, the European Union, and the Arab League.

Democrats HATE Israel. When will Jews in the US wake up and stop voting for them?

A lot of Jews don’t care about Israel. Some Orthodox believe that only God will give them their homeland, not man.

Arrest them all for Logan Act violations. Foreign Policy is the President’s job.

Doesn't apply. They're trying to interfere in Israeli internal policy not U.S. foreign policy. They aren't promising anything or threatening anything.

“...Dems hate Jews and Christians. They seem to be ok with Muslims, though. Enemy of my enemy kinda thing.....”

God forbid, IF pedoSloJoe should win the POTUS and the senate flips to the communists, within 6-12 months they’ll ban/close every church and synagogue in USA...permanently. They’ll do this with new “hate crime” legislation. They’ve already ran their test run with the DemoVirus BS, and they see that they were very successful with it. Every person of faith needs to get out and vote in November...EVERYONE!!!

Jews have been there since the beginning.
The two regions belong to Israel.
ipso facto, it belongs to the Jews.

What’s the problem?

Crazy murdering Arabs have lots of desert all over the place.

Choose another pile of sand Ahmet.

If I were the Israelis and Biden tried such a thing I would block purchase of any land for an embassy. I am sure that lawyers could tie up such a move for years in the Israeli courts.

Do you think the Democrats consulted with God regarding His most favored nation? These Democrats could bring the wrath of God down on our country.

Isaiah 45:22-25 “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. 23 By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. 24 They will say of me, ‘In the LORD alone are deliverance and strength.’ ” All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame. 25 But all the descendants of Israel will find deliverance in the LORD and will make their boast in him.

The U.S. still owns the original embassy in Tel Aviv. I think they're using it as a consulate.

I had thought of that but was hoping that the site had been sold.

The only thing Joe Biden will be able to move will be what he fills his adult diaper with.

Haven’t all the Democrats, along with the Republicans, that have run for President, said the would move the embassy to Jerusalem? None of them did until Trump. So Biden will be the first one to run on taking the embassy out of Jerusalem.
