the American Embassy in Jerusalem

At least they didn't invite Trump to the royal wedding. I hope that bothers him. It hasn't bothered me that much that I don't appear to have been invited but I suspect it might just bother Donald J Trump.

Trump seems to be immune to informed discussion or advice. Those poor, poor Palestinians.

I agree that Trump is a reactive individual. I can't believe though, that the decision about the American Embassy was made without full discussion and strong advice to him about the likely outcome.
Depressing,dreadful and disgusting (the shootings I mean)

I dont watch BBC IF I can avoid it ,they dont report news anymore they spin it to suit their masters in government.I do remember when the BBC was quite respected but they lost any right to that decades ago.Now this wedding nonsense when the world is in turmoil ..just what bad news will the Tories slip out while England is wedding watching .

It's already sidelined on BBC news for stupid wedding nonsense. Am furious - see my thread about it!

I do wonder how long this particular atrocity will be in the news?

Truly disgusting.

pps for a more balanced report look up Haaretz, which is a leftwing Israeli newsspaper.
Haaretz means the Land.

Gosh Fennel I'll stick to mooning Trump if he ever comes here. That may well finish him off. Maybe a massed Grans moon would do the trick
However, I don't mean to divert this thread. I'm still raging. It's just so unfair!

ps but like every other country you never get a full unbiased report of the news.
The situation there is so fragile, Trump surely knew what he was doing.

"The people of Israel CANT believe that the treatment of Palestinians is right or just"
There's a strong opposition in Israel from the Left. Netanyahu is becoming more extreme Right.

Boris Johnson has avoided the urgent question in the House today, left it to one of his ministers.
People may find this interesting, I think she articulates the situation very well

Like most of you what I think is unprintable ,I sat here in rage and tears watching the horrors on screen last night .Surely the world cant sit back and watch this carry on?
While most of us understand the reasons behind the need for an Isreali state after WW11 ,there should have been much firmer reactions to the breaking of the rules time after time after time .The people of Israel CANT believe that the treatment of Palestinians is right or just !Any ciricism of Israel is considered anti semitism and that stops many from speaking out....I am not anti semitic ,but I am anti this type of behaviour from the israeli state .

What he has done is the absolute limit as far as I'm concerned.
I hope someone with a bit of sense puts an end to him when he visits the UK. I would do it myself if I had the courage (and a gun.)

DT has lit the blue touch paper where he can watch the fall out from a great distance away. I was going to say what was he thinking, but I don't believe he ever really does.

Agree wholeheartedly with all these comments. Words fail, it’s a tragedy for the Palestinians who have lost their homes and lands by wars and by illegal settlement and who are are now in effect prisoners in Gaza, crowded into a tiny piece of land 25 miles by 6 miles, so many people, so little hope.
These unwarranted killings and injuries are crimes. They will only aggravate the already dreadful situation and peace, if it ever does come, will be even harder to achieve.

According to a late night broadcast, Trump has gained considerable support from the Israeli vote in the USA, also from the Evangelical Christian movement, as a direct result of this action.
All about votes, for Trump.
Is this a surprise?
And on another tack, as someone else said, I am so glad for our Royal Family when I look at Trump.
He is now inflicting his Barbie-doll daughter and husband on the world stage.

Trump is too stupid to understand the situation and too insensitive to care about anyone or anything apart from his egocentric self!

I saw that too Jane10 dreadful. I am in agreement with everyone else, I simply can't understand why the American Gvt has done this.

RIGHT NOW Palestinian officials say at least 58 people have been killed in the latest round of protests.

• More than 2,700 Palestinian demonstrators were injured on Monday — at least 1,350 by gunfire — along the border fence with Gaza, the Health Ministry reported.

This won’t advance the cause of peace one jot. Let’s hope the U.K. government doesn’t follow in DTs footsteps.
