JERUSALEM (AP) — Jerusalem’s city hall says it has put up road signs pointing to the new U.S. Embassy, which is set to move to the contested city next week.
Mayor Nir Barkat placed the first signs on Monday in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood where the embassy is to be located. According to a picture sent by Barkat’s office, the white signs read “U.S. Embassy” in English, Hebrew and Arabic.
The new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is to be opened on May 14 with a huge American delegation expected to attend, perhaps including President Donald Trump.
The embassy move comes after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital last year, heightening Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
Israel claims the entire city as its eternal capital. The Palestinians seek the eastern sector as capital of their hoped-for state.
So, one more step toward blowing up the Middle East.
Words fail.
Phew. And here I thought the truck bombs would get lost on the way.
Trump throws so much shit around that I’d forgotten about this one. This ought to help with that peace prize some of his supporters are saying he deserves.
Since anyone can nominate anyone else for the prize, I decided to nominate my dog for the Nobel Peace Prize.
She is loyal, she helps me keep my blood pressure down and whenever I see a red mist while reading the daily news, she comes and begs for attention until the mist evaporates. So she’s keeping the peace, at least in our household.
I figure I’ve got a better shot than those RWNJs do…
Since the peace prize isn’t distributed by Americans, I’d say yes you do. If it was though, I wouldn’t be as sure!
