Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Video: Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama promise to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Trump delivers

May 14, 2018 12:18 pm By Robert Spencer

Why did Clinton, Bush and Obama promise and not deliver? Because they were convinced by “foreign policy experts” that if they moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, “Palestinians” and other Muslims would riot and murder innocent people. They were bowing to naked intimidation, which only encourages and enables those who are doing the intimidating.

President Trump has done the right thing: stood strong in the face of threats and fulminations and denunciations. Courage is in such short supply these days, many people don’t even recognize it for what it is. Our entire foreign policy regarding the “Palestinians,” and in other areas as well, has been based for decades upon the proposition that we should bow in the face of intimidation and threats, and try to buy off or otherwise placate the bullies, giving them as much of what they demand as we possibly can. This doesn’t work, has not worked, and will never work. President Trump is setting a new course. Every free individual should hope that he succeeds in carrying through the spirit of this embassy move to the entirety of U.S. foreign policy.

    Yet Trump is now being accused of inhibiting any ability for peace in the Mid East. The resistance is showing it’s true colors.

    After 20 plus years of lack of balls, this is very refreshing.

    The riots broke out and many Palestinians were killed. Do they know no other way to voice their opinions? I’m sure their families will be well taken care of as they are now martyrs for ‘the cause’.

    God bless Donald Trump and his stand against the spread of Islam. We must do everything possible to inform our North American population of the true intent of the invaders. Can we not learn from our European partners? They appear to be doomed.

      To Muslims life is cheap. The loss of it rides on the belief that by sacrificing it, it will achieve ‘martyrdom’ and would fulfil the will of ‘Allah’. This is the extent to which their insanity stretches. A belief that solely derives itself from the rantings of some delusional, murderous, warmongering paedophile from the 7th century.
      And because they breed like rabbits due to their women having to be available at all times so as to satisfy the evil perverted lust of their sex mad male members, the loss of a few thousand souls here and there is easily made up in a day or two of rampant breeding.
      If only Muslims were of sound mind enough to see how ridiculous their beliefs really are, they would be leaving the evil cult of Islam in droves, but alas their misguided beliefs run far too deep for common sense to prevail.

    Supposedly, Donald will release his ‘peace plan’ for ‘Palestinians’ and Israel…no matter what it is, it won’t work…

      Arafat rejected the best offer that would have brought peace while robbing money from his own people. An offer was extended before the 67 war; again, no deal. Israel just got large rafter defeating

      Hamas, and most of the “Palestinians”, won’t accept the existence of Israel, genocide intended, so no peace deal is currently possible.

    A grand this is, for the USA has relocated her Embassy for Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
    As the Bible informs its readers “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem … the Lord will be the hope of His people ,and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16.

    To keyboard in a better in improved way than posted above ,.What a grand and glorious day this certainly is .For the USA has moved her Embassy to Jerusalem.
    As the Bible informs its readers “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem … the Lord will be the hope of His people ,and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16.

    The greatest disappointment in all this? Bush 1 and Bush 2. Everybody knew that Clinton was a playboy that used the White House for sexual and personal monetary gains. Obama was and is a Muslim who hated Israel.

    First it should be declared that this is certainly a grand ,glorious and wonderful day. For America has moved her US Embassy to Jerusalem..
    Second, President Trump by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel and likewise moving the US embassy to Jerusalem is keeping with reality Both Divine and historic . This is good, wise ,right ,fitting ,proper and appropriate .
    Third, the Islamic agenda of many Islamic terror organizations as Hezbollah, Hamas, P.I.J. etc. of destroying the State of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic “state” is already as lost cause. This is because those Islamic groups with that goal are all fated to lose in the end. For that agenda of those Jihad terror entities are greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. For the Jewish people have every right to all of that land, including the West Bank, by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. Furthermore, the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
    In conclusion, the jihadists members of Hezbollah, Hamas, P.I.J. and other like-minded Islamic organizations have joined a lost cause and a bad cause.
    It may even rightfully be said that the jihadists of such Islamic entities have taken up a stand for a bad cause. This is a bad cause to the extreme. The Bible instructs in much wisdom, as in “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]

    Just watched a CTV-Toronto news broadcast which is spinning today’s Jerusalem event into that of BULLY TRUMP-NETANYAHU vs. the innocent, victimized Palestinians. Enough said.

    The MSM refuses to say, “Muslims have lost their sh!t because Jews have taken Jerusalem.”

    —————————

    The broadcast then went on to paint the second Indonesian Islamic family-suicide bombing as such:

    “Another family-suicide bombing today in Indonesia. In both cases, the families attacked churches. The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for both attacks.”

    You see the disingenuousness (or outright naivete and stupidity) at work.

    Here’s how it should’ve been reported:

    “Another senseless, delusional Islamic family-suicide bombing today in Indonesia. In both cases, the families attacked Christian churches–i.e. jihad against the infidel– as instructed by their so-called Allah and his prophet, Muhammad. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for both attacks…..duh!”

    Yes, this is a great day for everyone, even Muslims. They are, and continue to be, brainwashed.

    “Video: Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama promise to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Trump delivers” Just to point out the obvious, which no one else appears to be saying, which is that obviously Clinton, Bush, and Obama were lying.

    Good for Trump. Good for the World.
