Four days after the US allowed the UN Security Council to censure Israeli settlement building, Israel’s government is on a heated rhetorical campaign against the 14 countries that voted against it.
"As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever." Psalm 125:2 (KJV)
EDITOR'S NOTE: Israel many enemies know that President-elect Donald Trump will move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, and that will forever change the face of the Middle East, so they are furiously trying everything they can to do as much damage to Israel as possible before January 20th. The battle for Jerusalem has begun.
It has cut aid programmes, summoned ambassadors for angry admonishing and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has apparently decided to snub Theresa May at next month’s Davos meeting in retaliation for Britain’s vote.
Why 10,000 French Jews Will Move to Israel This Year:
Undeterred by a resounding defeat at the
United Nations,
Israel’s government said Monday that it
would move ahead with thousands of new homes in East Jerusalem and warned nations against further action, declaring that
Israel does not “turn the other cheek.”
Just a few days after the
United Nations Security Council voted to
condemn Israeli settlements, Jerusalem’s municipal government signaled that it would not back down: The city intends to approve 600 housing units in the predominantly
Palestinian eastern section of town on Wednesday in what a top official called a first installment on 5,600 new homes.
Israel has a capital and it's called Jerusalem:
The defiant posture reflected a bristling anger among Israel’s pro-settlement political leaders, who not only blamed the United States for failing to block the Council resolution, but also claimed to have secret intelligence showing that
President Obama’s team had orchestrated it. American officials strongly denied the claim, but the sides seem poised for more weeks of conflict until Mr. Obama hands over the presidency to
Donald J. Trump.
"The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel." Psalm 147:2 (KJV)
Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has
lashed out at Security Council countries by curbing diplomatic contacts, recalling envoys, cutting off aid and summoning the American ambassador for a scolding. He canceled a planned visit this week by
Ukraine’s prime minister even as he expressed concern on Monday that Mr. Obama was planning more action at the United Nations before his term ends next month.
