Not a particularly graceful move. With what had happened in the region with the "Arab Spring" and the Palestinian struggle, this will undoubtedly lead to clashing and violence in that region. Also, moving from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem will take a few years logistically, so who even knows who'll be manning the White House at that point.

‘If he’s wrong, he’s doomed’: Kushner’s push to relocate US embassy to Jerusalem threatens Trump adviser’s fate

Broad Majority of Americans Support Moving Trump to Jerusalem

WASHINGTON —In a new poll conducted on Wednesday, a sweeping majority of Americans said they support moving Donald J. Trump to Jerusalem.

The sixty-three per cent of survey respondents who approved relocating Trump to Jerusalem

placed few conditions on such a move, other than that it take place “as soon as possible” and that it be “permanent.”

In other poll results, an overwhelming majority of respondents said that they

would support relocating Trump to any number of other foreign destinations, including Russia, the Philippines,

and “that station where scientists live at the South Pole.”

Though Americans were strongly enthusiastic about moving Trump to Jerusalem,

in a rare consensus both Arabs and Israelis vehemently opposed the move.

Sure enough, clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli soldiers erupted in areas across the West Bank and Gaza Strip this Thursday. Reports say the situation is under control so far with no casualties, but the big test remains for this Friday when large crowds leave their mosques after weekly prayers. The Washington Post reports that the Palestinian Authority called for a general strike in Palestinian cities, while in Gaza the Islamist Hamas goverment called on people to ignite a third intifada, or uprising, against Israel.

At least three rockets were fired from Gaza but did not reach their targets, nevertheless prompting the Israeli Defense Forces to retaliate by striking two military sites in Gaza.

Netanyahu Ditches US Jews for Alliance with Christian Evangelicals and the Alt-Right (https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/12/07/netanyahu-ditches-us-jews-for-alliance-with-christian-evangelicals-and-the-alt-right/)


https://uziiw38pmyg1ai60732c4011-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/dropzone/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-9.06.31-PM-768x542.png

For decades most American Jews have claimed an “Israel exemption”: resolutely progressive on domestic issues, they are hawks on their cherished cause. Racism they would vigorously oppose if applied in the United States is welcomed in Israel.

But paradoxically, just as American Jews look close to winning the battle domestically on behalf of Israel, many feel more alienated from a Jewish state than ever before.

Given that half the world’s Jews live outside Israel – the great majority in the US – their support for Israel is critical.

The rift has grown into a chasm as Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government widens its assault on civil rights. It now targets not just Palestinians but the remnants of liberal Jewish society in Israel – in open contempt for the values of most American Jews.

Avraham Infeld, a veteran Israeli liaison with the US Jewish community, told the Haaretz newspaper this week that the crisis in relations was “unprecedented”. American Jews have concluded “Israel doesn’t give a damn about them”.

Tzipi Hotovely, the deputy foreign minister, all but accused American Jews of being freeloaders. She condemned their failure to fight in the US or Israeli militaries, saying they preferred “convenient lives”.

Her comments caused uproar.

They echo those of leading Orthodox rabbis, who argue that Reform Jews are not real Jews – and are possibly even an enemy.

the Israeli prime minister set out his rationale for sacrificing the support of liberal Jews overseas at a recent closed-door meeting with officials.

He reportedly told them that non-Orthodox Jews would disappear in “one or two generations” through low birth rates, intermarriage and more general assimilation. Liberal Jews were a “lost cause” in his view, and wedded to a worldview that was incompatible with Israel’s future.

he added, Israel should invest in cultivating stronger ties to Orthodox Jews and Christian evangelicals.

Netanyahu’s demographic predictions may turn out to be faulty, but they are clearly now driving his policy towards liberal Jews at home and abroad.

In fact, as Israel’s attacks on liberals in Israel echo Trump’s rhetoric and policies towards minorities in the US,

American Jews are gradually being forced to reassess their longstanding double standard towards Israel.

How would legitimizing the capital of the Jewish homeland appease the Christian evangelical contingency he has?

Because the modern state of Israel is required for the second coming of Christ.


Why Evangelical Christians Support Israel

These facts about modern day Israel are all true. But mere political rhetoric does not account for the profound devotion to Israel that exists in the hearts of tens of millions of evangelical Christians.

You must realize that the God who spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai is our God. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are our spiritual Patriarchs. Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel are our prophets. King David, a man after God's own heart, is our hero. The Holy City of Jerusalem is our spiritual capital. And the continuation of Jewish sovereignty over the Holy Land is a further bulwark to us that the God of the Bible exists and that His Word is true.

And we should clearly take note that evangelical Christians serve a Jew that we believe was the divine Messiah of Israel, spoken of by the ancient prophets, to whom He entrusted the worldwide dissemination of His message to 12 Jewish apostles.

http://www.patrobertson.com/Speeches/IsraelLauder.asp
The reasoning is out there. Sopping to Israel makes evangelicals generally happy. Their interpretations of stupid bible prophesies require the nation state of Israel to exist.

Delusional Self-Interest in Trump’s Jerusalem Move

President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital let him boast about his courage but he ignored both international law and U.S. interests in delivering this gift to the Israel Lobby, as Lawrence Davidson explains.

Trump: “I want to make one point very clear …. The United States remains deeply committed to helping to facilitate a peace agreement that is acceptable to both sides.” We are “not taking a position on any final status issues.”

Comment:

It is at this point that you have to ask just what world the President is living in.

Actually, the answer is not that hard to come by.

It is a personal world that is singularly egocentric.

As such it has no real relevance to U.S. national interests and certainly not to Palestinian-Israeli conflict resolution. Its only reference point is Trump’s own, largely unrestrained, self-serving urges and needs.

According to reports (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-jerusalem-israel-capital-peace-process-campaign-promise-advisers-a8097596.html)coming from inside the White House, Trump was interested in the alleged prestige of being the President who actually went through with the promise to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

“While previous presidents have made this a major campaign promise, they failed to deliver. Today I am delivering (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-trump-jerusalem/).”

He sought out those who would encourage his goal – those who are hardly any more knowledgeable than he –

his Christian Fundamentalist Vice President Mike Pence, and

son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is a family friend of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump is also reported to have been encouraged to take this step by the Senate Minority Leader (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/363465-schumer-advised-trump-on-declaring-jerusalem-as-israels-capital)

Trump ignored the advice of

his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and

Secretary of Defense, James Mattis,

both of whom thought the move ill-advised.

So now we have the Zionists and Christian fundamentalists standing behind Trump, patting him on the back.

The rest of the world stands in front of him, aghast (http://mwcnews.net/news/middle-east/69477-trumps-jerusalem-move-3.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mwcnews%2FXrew+%28MWC+News+Al ert%29).

Typical of the self-serving type he is, Trump only cares about the blandishments pushing him in the direction he wants to go.

After he served 8 years of a 27-year sentence for money laundering, kosher meatpacking executive Sholom Rubashkin had his sentence commuted.

Initial charges (https://www.amazon.com/Born-Junk-Food-Deficiency-Quacks/dp/1616145935) against Agriprocessors’s employees included

harboring illegal aliens,

use of child labor,

document fraud,

identity theft,

physical and sexual abuse of workers,

unsafe working conditions,

wage and hour violations, and

shorting workers’ pay.

According to the search warrant, one thousand discrepancies between worker names and social security numbers occurred in three years.

There was even a methamphetamine production plant existing within the slaughterhouse, sanctioned by management.

Agriprocessors’s owner, Aaron Rubashkin; his son Sholom; and others,

the charges were dropped as prosecutors unspooled elaborate financial wrongdoing at the plant, which they pursued instead.

In 2008, Sholom Rubashkin was convicted of eighty-six counts of federal-bank fraud in connection with loans to the company, including fabricating fake collateral for loans, ordering employees to create false invoices, and laundering millions through a secret bank account in the name of Torah Education, reported the New York Times.

Trump Makes the Crisis Worse for Palestinian Refugees

“Any reduction of aid would be a death sentence for refugees in Gaza.”

Trump retaliated

by cutting US financial support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) by more than 50 percent.

“A Death Sentence” for Gazan Refugees

The US cutback in aid to UNRWA critically threatens (http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/43305-gaza-residents-fear-impact-of-us-cuts-to-un-aid) the access of Palestinian refugees to food, health care and education.

Pastor Hagee from SA gonna speak. Says Trump will go down in political immortality. Did orange guy get the implication of the underlined in the statement?

As far as the Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem, the following article is very good. For so long the Palestinians have been funded from other Arab nations for violence, yet these nations don’t give a shit about the Palestinians. Yassir Arafat, Hamas, Fahtah, have all taken money from outside interests while their people suffer.

Good breakdown on the people wanting non-violent protests, Ghandi and Mandela inspired...

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/05/hamas-fatah-groups-failing-180512082001713.html

The liberal Israeli public, who recognize and are sympathetic to the cause, have been buried by Gaza and the West Bank organizations being funded by people who don’t give a shit about peace as long as the Palestinians rocket or stab Israelis. This has led to Bennie and the jets ruling. Arafat stole his people’s money, yet the old Palestinians still have his picture on the crumbling bedroom wall. This is why younger intellectuals can be so crucial in peace. Or can bury a movement if they go to violence. You want to hang on to 1948, you want to hang onto the stupid Arab states who lost territory with idiotic military endeavors, you get Benji to deal with. The Palestinians put their faith in Arab dictators who did not give an F about them. Used them as fodder.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate candidate Mitt Romney of Utah says a prominent Baptist minister shouldn't be giving the prayer that opens the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem because he's a "religious bigot."

In a tweet Sunday night, the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee criticized Dallas minister Robert Jeffress for his remarks about Jews, Mormons and Islam......

Historic Christianity has taught for 2,000 years that salvation is through faith in Christ alone. The fact that I, along with tens of millions of evangelical Christians around the world, continue to espouse that belief, is neither bigoted nor newsworthy,: Jeffress said in the tweet,

The role of Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, a Southern Baptist megachurch, underlines the significance of the Jerusalem event as an appeal to Christian conservatives, part of President Donald Trump's base of supporters......

What’s this method called?

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/14/world/middleeast/gaza-protests-palestinians-us-embassy.html

Near Gaza City, a voice on a loudspeaker urged the crowd forward: “Get closer! Get closer!”
The charge was often led by women dressed in black, waving Palestinian flags and urging others to follow.

The atmosphere grew more charged after midday prayers, when more than 1,000 men gathered under a large blue awning. Officials from Hamas and other militant factions addressed the worshipers, urging them into the fray and claiming — falsely, to all appearances — that the fence had been breached and that Palestinians were flooding into Israel.


Under urging protester forward despite the risks.

The leaders of Hamas, Fatah, Yassir Arafat stopped living like their people when the money rolled in. They sold out to violence for cash. Pinprick missles from Gaza and suicide calls. Israel is, especially now with Trump, perfectly able to supply blood.

NYT's Thomas Friedman Explains How Trump Screwed Up the Israel Embassy Deal:

'They're Laughing at Him'

Our 'Art of the Deal' president made a really bad one.

Trump had promised peace in the Middle East,

and assigned son-in-law Jared Kushner to achieve it. Yet, Friedman noted

they've already bungled their shot at any kind of deal.

He argued that Trump had a chance to make a deal for the embassy by demanding Israel give a little too. Friedman suggested the deal be to "freeze all Israeli settlements in densely-populated areas in the West Bank, to preserve that zone for the two-state solution" in exchange for the new capital and embassy.

Cooper noted that example "would have been the Art of the Deal," citing Trump's famous book.

"That would have been the Art of the Deal.

Trump did the Art of the Giveaway," Friedman retorted.

He could have a leverage. Instead

he gave away the most valuable diplomatic real estate in the Middle East treasure box and he gave it away for free.

Believe me, in jerusalem they are laughing at him.

In the Arab world they're laughing at him.

They can't believe what a sucker he was to take that bait and give it away for free

when he could use it,

he could have used it for leverage to truly advance the peace process."

From Israel’s own oldest newspaper.

And I hold to the claim that the Arab States intent on funding suicide elements within legitimate rallies,and BN, get their lifeblood from the same backwards hate money. The money that buys violence to perpetuate its own existence. Arab leaders and Iran have traditionally not given a shit about Palestinians, and either has the right in Israel. The most legitimate talking points concerning the Palestinian situation come from fresh grass roots Palestinian movements, and the Israeli left.

[pgardn]

The ideal situation would be a UN recognized Palestinian Embassy to the UN in East Jerusalem.

Problem is that their is no legitimate Palestinian group to bargain with because they have all been bought off or killed. So Israel can claim there is no legitimate Palestinian government or organization. They need leaders who live among (live and feel the poverty) them who can’t be bought so they actually can actually represent the situation as it now stands. These elements exist. But both extremes want them dead or neutered.

NEW HOUSE BILL WOULD EMPOWER DONALD TRUMP TO PUNISH U.S. COMPANIES THAT BOYCOTT ISRAEL (https://theintercept.com/2018/06/28/israel-boycott-law-bds/)

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE on Foreign Affairs unanimously passed a measure on Thursday that would give the Trump administration power to decide how to punish U.S. companies that engage in or promote boycotts of Israel — including through criminal penalties.

Royce’s effort to move his version out of the Foreign Affairs Committee is part of a push to reinvigorate Capitol Hill’s efforts to use statutory means to clamp down on the growing movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction the Jewish state for human rights violations against the Palestinians.

the most dangerous version of the bill yet, because it delegates the lawmaking power to the Trump administration.

bill to direct the administration to issue regulations that prohibit U.S. companies from involvement with the BDS movement, as it is known.

The bill covers those companies that attempt to “comply with, further, or support” United Nations or European Union calls for a boycott of Israel, including merely by “furnishing information” about them.

“consistent with the enforcement practices” of the 1979 Export Administration Act (https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-93/pdf/STATUTE-93-Pg503.pdf) — which allows for a range of

civil and criminal penalties (http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:50%20section:4610%20edition: prelim)) topping out at a maximum of $1 million fine and 20 years in prison.
