Jerusalem status: World condemns Trump's announcement
BBC ^ | 12-07-2017 | Staff

Posted on 12/07/2017 6:10:31 AM PST by Trump20162020

Traditional US allies are among a growing chorus condemning President Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Saudi Arabia called it "unjustified and irresponsible", while France and the UK said they did not support the decision.

But Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu hailed it as "historic" and said he was sure more countries would follow suit.

President Trump's move reversed decades of US policy on one of the thorniest issues between Israel and Palestinians.

Hundreds of Israeli troops have been deployed to the West Bank amid a day of protests and strikes by Palestinians.

I believe this is a necessary step toward stability and peace in the ME.

Tis proven by all of the "smart" people being against it.

Once more the degenerate descendants of a once proud and free people bend over and assume the position for a horde of retrograde savages worshipping a moon god.

The same “world” that routinely criticizes Israel and supports Arab terrorists in Palestine while knowing little or nothing of the history of the region? Sounds to me like it must have been the right move if “the world” is unhappy with it.

Muzzies are chomping at the bit...

Their hate for Christians and Jews is the reason for the existence of Islam. It is NOT a religion....it's an evil political system.

Nothing has changed in 1400 years.

Trump, not the large bipartisan and overwhelming Congressional support for the underlying law, is vilified. See how this works?

In diplomatic-ese, those are pretty mild statements....

I use to work with a Palestinian when I drove a cab in New York city. EVERYTHING about that conflict is based 100% on antisemitism. I never met in my life a more antisemitic guy than him who BTW was always making demands of people. He blamed everything on the Jews. Too much traffic? It was because of the Jews. Gas prices too high? It was because of the Jews. Didn’t get enough fares today? It was because of the Jews. Street construction going on? It was because of the Jews. The Palestinians are nothing but a bunch of Islamo-Nazis and if it was up to me I’d get them the furthest thing away from Israel and Jews, they’re all psychopaths.

Congress and past presidents approved the measure but did nothing. All talk, no action. Trump promised and he delivered. A man of his word. The Lord keeps His Word and delivers at the appointed times.

I am thankful Trump did thid. It was long overdue. Anyone with their knickers in a bunch over this needs to understand bending over for muslims is a no win position. Particularly “Palestinians”, which are not a legetimate people.

BBC is the MSNBC of occupied Britain.

Send us the statue of Churchill standing outside Parliament, Tate British no longer deserve it, they can replace it with the 6th century psychotic pedophile they follow these days.

[[Jerusalem status: World condemns Trump’s announcement]]

The world is full of leaders that have no backbone that bow to terrorist and even fill their own countries with terrorist and make excuses for their rotten behavior . They have sewn into the wind , let them reap the whirlwind.
These leaders are not leaders , they are rotten little children trying to pass themselves off as men.

God bless Donald Trump for standing up for what is right .
Now it’s time to stop paying the murderers . Cut all funding to the fake Palestinians. They are nothing but savage invaders .

All this fluster over a harmless decision to relocate an embassy office from one city to another. Think about that. If this was any other nation or city it would be a nothingburger. Ahh but Jerusalem—- a spiritual battleground of a city ordained from above plain and simple.

Other countries have joined Pres. Trump and the USA.
Why is this not covered?

Why does the BBC misrepresent “US policy” (ie. the
Congressional resolution).
