This is a giveaway to Israel or something
Trump’s Failure in Jerusalem
His giveaway to Israel of an American embassy is a blow to the dream of peace.
The day the United States opened its embassy in Jerusalem is a day the world has longed for, because of what it was supposed to represent: the end of a seemingly endless conflict, a blood-soaked tragedy with justice and cruelty on both sides. Israelis and Palestinians have envisioned a capital in Jerusalem, and for generations the Americans, the honest brokers in seeking peace, withheld recognition of either side’s claims, pending a treaty that through hard compromise would resolve all competing demands.
But on Monday President Trump delivered the embassy as a gift without concession or condition to the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu, and as a blow to the Palestinians. The world did not witness a new dawn of peace and security for two peoples who have dreamed of both for so long. Instead, it watched as Israeli soldiers shot and killed scores of Palestinian protesters, and wounded thousands more, along Israel’s boundary with the Gaza Strip.
A couple things. First, that subhead, which appears on the Internet front page, along with things like “gift”, are idiotic, since the U.S. Congress passed a law all the way back in 1995 about moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Why would we need to demand anything for this “gift”? It was the official position of the U.S. government. You can bet if Obama did this, the Times would be jumping for joy, at least in print. Because they, like Obama and so many Leftists, despise Israel, and usually Jews, as well.
Second, peace? As long as Palestinians are backed by a U.S. government recognized terror group, Hamas, there can be no peace. And, as long as Leftists like those at the NY Times, give aid and comfort to Hamas and the violent Palestinians, there can be no peace. But, they do not want peace. They want Israel wiped off the face of the map
“Over is the time Hamas spent discussing recognizing Israel. Now Hamas will discuss when we will wipe out Israel,†Sinwar said, according to the Hamas-linked news agency Shehab.
That’s Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, in 2017.
Lastly, it’s cute how the NY Times Editorial Board attempts to blame Israel for Palestinians being violent, which forced the reaction from Israeli security forces.
And, really, what’s one move of an embassy in the grand scheme of “peace”? It wasn’t occurring prior. Palestinians do not want peace. And the NY Times backs the Palestinians, as you can see in the rest of the editorial. The Times even gives a person who claims he helped start the “protests”, for which he has no regrets, a platform to attack Israel. Ahmed Abu Ratima is a Gaza writer, activist, and big backer of The Great Return March, which is, when you dig deep, all about pushing Jews out of Israel and reclaiming the land.
If you look across the Credentialed Media, most of them are putting the blame on Trump and Israel for the deaths of the violent Palestinians. Kinda like suicide by military. So many of these American news articles look like something that Iran would put out.
