Hysteria greets British PM Liz Truss’s embassy move proposal
Arutz Sheva ^ | 14/10/22 | Melanie Phillips

(JNS) In Britain, it’s diplomatic Groundhog Day all over again.

Prime Minister Liz Truss has said she wants to move the British embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

When former U.S. President Donald Trump similarly proposed moving the American embassy, liberals grabbed for the smelling salts. The outcome of such a move, they predicted, would be Armageddon. The entire Arab world would rise up in fury. The relocation of the embassy would utterly destroy the cause of peace.

None of this occurred. Instead, the precise opposite took place. The embassy was moved in May 2018. In Sept. 2020, the historic Abraham Accords were signed between Israel and the Gulf states, a development that did more to advance the cause of peace between Israel and the Arabs than anything else over the course of the previous century.

Yet Truss’s aspiration has provoked similar hysteria in Britain. While the main representative organization of British Jews, the Board of Deputies, has said it hopes the embassy move will happen, the foreign policy establishment, along with the usual Israel-bashing suspects and some left-wing British Jews, have all gone into meltdown.

It’s as if the whole experience of the U.S. embassy move—the ludicrously overheated response to Trump’s plan and the actual, rather wonderful aftermath—never happened.

Thus, Labour MP Naz Shah sent a letter to Truss warning that moving the British embassy might become a “catalyst of uncontrollable catastrophic events.” Similarly, the left-wing Jewish group Yachad claimed the move “could spark protests and violence” and the U.K. would be helping entrench such “violence.”

What’s their evidence for such a prediction? There isn’t any.

The UK has a Deep State, too.

And there’s is as great a menace as ours is.

Truss may be on her way out, but I’m sure there’s more where she came from.

Note to the UK: You have the same problem we do, but you lot don’t have a Trump standing between you and your Deep State. You need to find one before it’s too late.

Nobody thinks the Palestinians are worth the outrage over moving the embassy.

I am seeing talk that some guy who is a WEF stooge is going to be put in place of the guy who is getting sacked today.

That might save her for a year.

Btw..the way Brits are skewering two morning talk show hosts over skipping the queens queue is a hoot. The civilized Brits booed them at some awards show

Brits take their queuing seriously.

Talk about politically tone deaf …

At a time like this, who the hell cares where a British embassy is located in any given country — or if they even have an embassy at all?

When former U.S. President Donald Trump similarly proposed moving the American embassy, 

Actually he didn't propose it. It was the law of the United States since The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 passed by Congress on October 23, 1995. The vote was 93-5 in the Senate and 374-37 in the House. There was a clause in the law which allowed the President to issue a waiver every six months on "national security" grounds which Clinton, Bush 2 and Obama repeatedly did. But the recognition of Jerusalem as the unified capital and moving the embassy there was the law of the land for decades before Trump finally did it.

“Brits take their queuing seriously.”

Is there anyone in the world better at it?
The French? NON!
The Germans? Nein!
The Poles? NIE!
Even the Russians are amateurs compared to the bleeding Brits.

Nope. Truss is a disaster. She is no Margret Thatcher . She is not the right woman for the job . She will be lucky to survive a year.
