The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
They are idiots.
They OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER, Jerusalem IS PART OF ISRAEL.
The State Dept. is in panic mode after Bibi kicked them where it hurts today. :)
I'm 'shocked!'
That would be Hillary Clinton's State Department!
So the US State Dept. takes it upon itself to decide the status of a city in a foreign country. Arrogant morons. Jerusalem belongs to Israel. ALL of Jerusalem.
Call me crazy, but all this division of Israel talk makes me nervous.
Exactly. Bibi drew the line in the sand on Jerusalem today and this State Dept. thing may be the reason why.
Devils.
I liked Bibi’s speech today, but his portrayal of this administration was...shall we say...generous. Neither this WH nor State has Israel’s interests or really even those of the West in view. In fact, it appears quite the opposite.
The Ivy League gender majors in State must not know that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
1. October 30, 1991: The Perfect StormAs President George H. W. Bush is opening the Madrid (Spain) Conference to consider land for peace in Israels Middle East role, the perfect storm develops in the North Atlantic, creating the largest waves ever recorded in that region. The storm travels 1000 miles from east to west instead of the normal west to east pattern and crashes into the New England Coast. Thirty-five foot waves crash into the Kennebunkport home of President Bush.
2. August 23, 1992: Hurricane AndrewWhen the Madrid Conference moves to Washington DC and the peace talks resume, Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster ever to hit America, comes ashore and produces an estimated $30 billion in damage and leaving 180,000 homeless in Florida.

4. January 21, 1998: Lewinsky ScandalIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President Clinton at the White House and is coldly received. Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright refuse to have lunch with him. Shortly afterwards on that day, the Monica Lewinsky scandal breaks into the mass media and begins to occupy a major portion of Clintons time.
5. September 28, 1998: Hurricane GeorgeAs Secretary of State Albright works on the final details of an agreement in which Israel would give up 13 percent of Yesha (Judah and Samaria), Hurricane George slams into the United States Gulf Coast with 110 mph winds and gusts up to 175 mph. The hurricane hits the coast and stalled. On September 28, Clinton meets with Yasser Arafat and Netanyahu at the White House to finalize this land deal. Later, Arafat addresses the United Nations about declaring an independent Palestinian state by May 1999, as Hurricane George pounds the Gulf Coast, causing $1 billion in damage. At the exact time that Arafat departs the country, the storm begins to dissipate.
6. October 15-22, 1998: Texas FloodedOn October 15, 1998, Arafat and Netanyahu meet at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland. The talks are scheduled to last five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13 percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and conclude on October 23. On October 17, awesome rains and tornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area is deluged with rain. The rain and flooding in Texas continue until October 22 and then subside. The floods ravage 25 percent of Texas and leave over one billion dollars in damage. On October 21, Clinton declares this section of Texas a major disaster area.
7. November 30, 1998: Market Capitalization EvaporatesArafat comes to Washington again to meet with President Clinton to raise money for a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. A total of 42 other nations were represented in Washington. All the nations agreed to give Arafat $3 billion in aid. Clinton promised $400 million, and the European nations $1.7 billion. On the same day, the Dow Jones average drops 216 points, and on December 1, the European Market had its third worst day in history. Hundreds of billions of market capitalization were wiped out in the U.S. and Europe.
8. December 12, 1998: Clinton is ImpeachedAs Clinton lands in the Palestinian-controlled section of Israel to discuss the land for peace process, the House of Representatives votes four articles of impeachment against him.
9. May 3, 1999: The Powerful Super TornadoOn the day that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital, the most powerful tornado storm system ever to hit the United States sweeps across Oklahoma and Kansas. The winds are clocked at 316 mph the fastest wind speed ever recorded. The declaration is postponed to December 1999 at the request of President Clinton, whose letter to Arafat encourages him in his aspirations for his own land. He also writes that the Palestinians have a right to determine their own future on their own land and that they deserve to live free, today, tomorrow and forever.
10. Week of October 11: Hurricane, Earthquake and Dow CollapseAs Jewish settlers in 15 West Bank (Israel) settlements are evicted from the covenant land in Israel, the Dow-Jones financial averages lose 5.7 percent in the worst week since October 1989. On October 15 the Dow lost 266 points, and a hurricane slams into North Carolina. On the next morning, October 16, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocks the southwest in the fifth most powerful earthquake in 20th Century. The earthquake was centered in the California desert and did little damage but was felt in three states.
And DC isn’t a US state so let’s move our capital to St. Louiis and start anew.
I hope that the Israelis realize that for the next two years they are on their own, and not to trust the scumbags in the current administration.
... and Washington, DC is separate from The United States.
State Dept = Hitlery Clinton. I wonder if Babs Striesand still thinks they’re friends.
It’s their capital. Un-freakin’-believable!
