Most foreign envoys absent as Israel, U.S. launch embassy festivities

[Gerald]

Israel launched celebrations on Sunday for the U.S. Embassy's relocation to Jerusalem, a move whose break with world consensus was underscored by the absence of most envoys to the country from a reception hosted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Most countries say Jerusalem’s status should be determined in a final peace settlement, and say moving their embassies now would prejudge any such deal.

Rather than start complaining they should have worked harder for the peace settlement they speak of.

True, but the real problem is that they don't worship the same God

Update.

GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot dead dozens of Palestinian protesters on the Gaza border on Monday when the high-profile opening of the U.S. embassy to Israel in Jerusalem by the Trump administration raised tension to boiling point after weeks of demonstrations.

In the bloodiest single day for Palestinians since 2014, Palestinian Health Ministry officials said 58 protesters were killed and 2,700 injured by live gunfire, tear gas or other means.

The bloodshed drew calls for restraint from some countries, including France and Britain, and stronger criticism from others, with regional power Turkey calling it “a massacre”.

The White House declined to join in urging Israel to exercise caution and pinned the blame squarely on Gaza’s ruling Hamas group, backing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who described the Israeli military’s actions as self-defence of his country’s borders.

It doesn't really matter now because the US have blocked the UN motion calling for investigation into Israeli killing of Gaza protesters.

I think Australia hit the nail square on the head.


Maybe the U.N. can investigate why HAMAS started deadly confrontation to begin with that lead to 60 killed and a baby.

Also, lets not forget Israel isn't the only one with religious asshats shooting, killing and throwing rocks. Europe same problem, same source.

France goes from temporary state of emergency to a permanent state of emergency.

Many Christians murdered recently in Indonesia - by one Muslim family clan, during several simultaneous strikes. Afterwards, they attacked police stations and security forces.

But Hamas demanded that Israel should deliver them more tires that they could burn. And that sanctions are lifted that came into place due to Hamas murderous hateful policies.

Most of the world always uses double standards when it goes against Israel, that wicked, evil, malicious Jewish hellhole on this planet. And I sa yit clearly, many of these people whoc all themselves friends of Israel and that they mean it so well, in some dark, forgotten corner of their heart regret that the Nazis did not fulfill their task. For then there would be no Israel, ands magical peace could not be stopped from breaking out in the world, all of a sudden.

Its all the guilt of these wicked, evil, underhanded Jews.

The UN really needs to get rid of that single veto rule.

Agreed but any attempts to do so would probably be stymied by an immediate veto

But then, imagine how many stupid, outraging, biased, injust follies would have been passed without a single veto preventing them.

The UN needs to get rid of itself. And in the end, national states, political parties and professional politicians as well, all this ruthless, childish, infantile, arrogant, power-hungry, anti-social, parasitical bull. The single veto dilemma is not the root of the problem, but the symptom of a much greater dilemma/problem/crisis.

Part of that problem is that we allow politicians to avoid the consequences of their own decisions and laws and that they usually never are being held in full responisbility for their actions and courses plot. He who has nothing of personal value at risk, is not shy to act irrespooinsibly, stupidly, carelessly. He who never must pay the bills himself, is not shy to waste the moeny he has plundered from all the others.

In the end, there are only two kinds of people. The ones who want to impose their will on all others, and the others who do not want that. The first never can be ethically, morally right. And that is why any force needed to defend against their hubris and arrogance is naturally justified. No matter what any law - written by the first in an attempt of self-accreditation - says. Nobody has the right to demand that he may rule about someobdy else who has not voluntarily agreed to put himself under the control of the other.

There is a anme for all this. Freedom. There is a principle this all founds on. The Golden Rule.
