Forums - Politics Discussion - Israel 70 years celebration & US opens embassy in Jerusalem, lethal clashes erupt

numberwang on 14 May 2018

On May 14, 1948, as the Jews of Palestine declared the establishment of a Jewish state, called Israel, U.S. President Harry Truman granted immediate recognition on behalf of the United States, becoming the first head of state to do so. On May 14, 2018, 70 years later, President Donald Trump will move U.S. Embassy operations to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, where it has been since 1966.

At least 43 Palestinians have been killed and 2,200 wounded by Israeli troops, Palestinian officials say, on the deadliest day of violence since the 2014 Gaza war.

Israel is there to stay and Jerusalem is their capital. End of story.

And he was so close to getting that Nobel Peace Price. But I guess that's smart, Peace Prices are for sissies and you can't have a sissy on the throne.

Trump is such an asshole for doing that. I wonder how much money he got for that.
I guess it's the victim/perpetrator mentality. It's just sad the abused have to become the abusers over there.

Very anti-sematic of you. Palestinian children are literally brainwashed in school that is Israel is evil and they should be wiped off the face of the earth. Is there little wonder why they grow up into adults incapable of co-existing with Israelis?

A lot of people are for or against this but many of whom I’ve spoken to have no clue about any of it. They just know their “D” or “R” have taken certain positions and they’ll follow.

All this hubbub over some place. What's so great about Jerusalem anyways?

Not every criticism of Israel is anti-semitism. Just as we can criticize any other state for instances of brutality, repression, and the likes, so we can do and should be able to do it for Israel. Palestinian and Israeli children are brainwashed. 

 

In fact all people who fall victim to various forms of exceptionalism and nationalism are brainwashed. It doesn't matter the source.

Im not going to say the palestines are right. That would mean that isreal is wrong and you cant say that due to an event a while in the past.
