Yesterday, the Trump administration officially opened America’s embassy in Jerusalem. This completes the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, was passed into law by a super majority of both the Senate (93–5) and the House (374–37).
The act recognizes that Israel declared Jerusalem to be its capital in 1950. This was done as Jerusalem was the capital of the Kingdom of Judea, and is the center of Judaism since the Kingdoms of Solomon and David. Jews have been saying “Next Year in Jerusalem” at the Passover Seder since the 15th century.
Yesterday, was also the bloodiest day of fighting along the Israeli border in the last few weeks.
With all eyes on the Trump administration dedicating the embassy in Jerusalem, how did the Left in politics and the media respond?
Jew hatting, Louis Farrakhan loving Congressman Keith Ellison Tweeted out this statement, cosigned by rpresentatives Mark Pocan, Pramila Jayapal, Keith Ellison, Barbara Lee, and Henry C. “Hank” Johnson Jr. – because the CBC is just the biggest group of pieces of shit in DC.

WASHINGTON, DC (April 12, 2018) – U.S. Representatives Mark Pocan (WI-02), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Keith Ellison (MN-05), Barbara Lee (CA-13), and Henry C. “Hank” Johnson Jr. (GA-04) released the following statement in advance of demonstrations scheduled to take place on Friday within the territory of Gaza. The Members of Congress are urging Gaza protesters to carry out their right to assembly nonviolently, while also calling on members of Israel Defense Forces to exercise utmost restraint in the use of deadly force and to fully comply with international law.
“We are deeply disturbed by the tragic loss of life over the past two weeks of protests carried out within the territory of Gaza, with more than a dozen Palestinians killed by sniper fire – including an unarmed teenager and a respected photojournalist – and many hundreds more injured by live ammunition.
“While it appears that the vast majority of Palestinians who have gathered to protest have been peaceful, we object to reported cases of non-peaceful actions carried out by some Gaza protesters, and we call on them to exercise their rights nonviolently. We also urge Israeli soldiers to refrain from shooting live ammunition at unarmed Palestinian protesters from hundreds of meters away, across the fence separating the two territories.
“We strongly reject the dangerous contention made on April 8 by Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman that ‘there are no innocent people in the Gaza Strip.’ Media reports suggest that on Friday, Israeli soldiers will once again be ordered by high command – in contravention of international law – to engage in sniper fire on Gaza residents who come within 300 meters of the border fence or engage in other non-life-threatening actions.
“We applaud Israeli human rights groups that are calling on Israeli soldiers to resist such illegal orders from their superiors, and are urging IDF forces to fully comply with international law and exercise utmost restraint in their use of deadly force. Such measures must only be used as a last resort to stop an imminent threat to life.”
See, it’s the Jews’ fault. The Jews just need to show restraint. The “unarmed” protesters are the victims. “Unarmed” as in throwing grenades and Molotov cocktails.
There are also “terror kites” in which Hamas uses kites armed with incendiary to set fires in Israel. So far, these kites have caused fires in fields being farmed by Kibbutz.
Here is what we know about the situation. Hamas, which is supported and funded by Iran has been stoking protests and riots along the Israel security fence with the intention of having civilians breech it, at which point Hamas fighters can enter through the breech and start killing Israelis. Hamas is using civilians as human shields and battering rams to try to break through the Israeli border. Hamas admits this.
The more civilians Israel kills, the better it is for Hamas propaganda. Hamas is using the people killed to instigate another Intifada.
The White House, in an act of brutal honesty, blamed Hamas for this.
The media, which is so consumed by hate for Trump and Social Justice hate for Israel, that it became a mouthpiece for Hamas.
Is it the official position of the Israeli and US governments that lethal force is justified for unarmed protesters who approach a border fence with intent to climb it?

It’s just climbing a fence. The throwing firebombs over the fence once it is climbed is neither here nor there.
Just like MS-13 and Los Zetas are just immigrants who want to live the American dream.

No mention of Hamas’ announcement that it wants to murder thousands of Israelis after it breaches the security perimeter.
From a reporter for VICE.
Imagine the desperation it takes to walk into live gunfire from the Middle East's most powerful fighting force, armed with nothing more than rocks & the occasional Molotov or grenade. Try to conceive of the circumstances that could drive so many human beings to such an act. #Gaza

She admits these people were throwing grenades and Molotov cocktails, but somehow when Muslims throw bombs as Jews, the Jews shouldn’t shoot back.
John O. Brennan, Obama’s head of the CIA, Tweeted this statement.
Deaths in Gaza result of utter disregard of Messers Trump & Netanyahu for Palestinian rights & homeland. By moving Embassy to Jerusalem, Trump played politics, destroyed US peacemaker role. New generation of Israelis/Palestinians need to isolate extremists to find path to peace.
— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) May 14, 2018
This really shows you just how biased the whole Obama administration was against Israel. He believes an Iranian backed terror cell has less culpability in this than the Trump and Netanyahu.
The worst by far came from the New York Daily News, who went full blow antisemite.
Deplorable https://t.co/EMGX6xPzva

Somehow it’s Ivanka’s fault that Hamas has been trying to get Gazans to breach the Israeli border for weeks. Apparently Ivanaka, the Jewish First Daughter, cannot enjoy representing America at the opening of the American embassy in Jerusalem while Hamas is using civilians as human shields.
The Left has shown beyond any doubt that they hate Israel and they hate the Jews. When their anti Israel hate resonates with their anti Trump hate, the result is that they will openly support a terror cell in its genocidal plans against Israel while sitting atop their moral high horse.
These immoral, mendacious, feculent assholes should spend the rest of their lives hanging their heads in shame. They are never allowed to question our morals ever again.
“Don’t start none, won’t be none.”
How is this such a hard concept for the lefty media to understand?
It’s really pretty clear in flyover country. Might be why it’s so confusing to “our betters”.
Even the “Pallywood” footage approved by CNN et. al. shows more of a riot than a “peaceful protest.” I was saddened by a report that an 8 month old infant was shot by the “evil span of Satan” Jews. What kind of parents being an infant to a riot , hopping it will be killed for propaganda?

It looks pretty simple to me.
Terrorists attempt a violent invasion of Israel. Terrorists are repelled by force. A few die. What’s the problem, exactly?
This is exactly the same scenario as armed self defense against a home invader. And sure enough, the people pushing the antisemitic propaganda here are the same people who oppose self defense against criminals.
BTW, from what I understand, Hamas has been telling people that Israel would not have armed defenders at the border. That makes sense: the goal of terrorists is to kill people. It doesn’t matter a whole lot which people. Their own, that’s perfectly ok with them.
What I find confusing is the blatant anti semitism and blind hatered of Isreal coming from news that all the jew haters say are owned and run by jews???
More of obammys great unification…..
