My Comment: NUREMBERG WAS NOT FOR NOTHING

I said weeks ago when Trump first came out with his no thought declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli Jewish state that this would mean never ending war. Sumner Adelson financed imbecilic policy with a billion bucks that will ultimately take more Israeli lives before it is over if it ever will be over. 

This US embassy policy declaring all of Jerusalem the Jewish capital brushing the other two major religions aside without an inch of thought to the ramifications of it.  It will be using its own Jews (my own Jews) as a sacrifice to the alter of feel good news so Trump can puff his chest out and claim a victory to his base.  Trump knows nothing of Jewish history, nothing of Palestinian history and even less about the history of Islam and its divisions.   Netanyahu and his dupes are this era's Pharisees; the hypocrites that Jesus himself in the New Testament hated.  This will not end, if it ever ends, in our lifetime and we will be lucky if this does not spread to the rest of the Middle East like the cancerous policy it is. 
I have just put out of reach any hope I may have had to see Israel before the end of my life. Trump and Netanyahu have ruined the history the Jewish people who rose from the ashes of the Holocaust. They cheer in the Trump dictate of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state while the people of Gaza and other Middle East nations cry out for Israel's demise.  They may have just arrived at the beginning stages of their wish.

Why foment the simmering flame of Palestinian anger into the explosions of an an all out war? Many Palestinians are dead and many more will follow.  Jewish deaths will follow too.  All are human. Until you walk in the other's shoes you cannot know how they feel. 70% unemployment in Palestinian Gaza; their boundaries to the west are Israeli barricades and to their east is the sea.  There is nowhere for them to go.  The wounded are everywhere and there are few places to medically treat them all.  Those who are protesting by the hundreds think they have nothing to lose and, perhaps, they do not.  Jerusalem is a killing fields initiated by Trump and stupidly the raving rightwing nuts of Israel sit there smugly in their pristine American embassy and cheer while the split news screen shows the depth of Palestinian resistance and anger.

I was intensely pro Israel all of my life.  Now I will no longer give to the Jewish state unless and until Netanyahu and Trump are electorally crushed and the Jews who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust remember what it was like to be oppressed, hunted like animals and killed. Jews everywhere need to remember. Nuremberg was not for nothing. THINK!

 

NOT ANYMORE
