At least 10 countries discussing embassy move to Jerusalem, says deputy foreign minister

By: Andrew Friedman/TPS and World Israel News Staff

 

At least 10 countries besides the US and Guatemala are considering recognizing Jerusalem as the Israel capital and possibly moving their embassies there, Deputy Minister Hotovely says.

Since Guatemala’s announcement Monday that it will follow the US and move its embassy to Jerusalem, at least 10 more countries are in talks with the Israelis about doing the same, Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely told Israel Radio.

She declined to say which countries were involved, but “noted that several of the talks are just beginning, while others are further along,” Ha’aretz reported.

Israeli diplomats estimate that Honduras, which borders Guatemala, is likely to be one of the next countries to follow suit.

‘No less than the beginning of Israel’s victory’

Guatemala’s decision to return its embassy to Jerusalem is “no less than the beginning of Israel’s victory,” a leading  analyst and author told Tazpit Press Service (TPS) Monday, adding that it will likely set off a chain reaction, with countries in Latin America, Africa and even in Europe following suit in the coming months and years.

Media deems Trump the Grinch who stole Christmas in Bethlehem

By Christine Douglass-Williams / Jihad Watch

The fake news media narrative circulating the past few days goes something like this: President Donald’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital set off an “eruption of violence,” thus dampening the mood in Bethlehem and keeping tourists this Christmas season from one of the holiest cities in Christianity. Less than two weeks ago, Nazareth’s Muslim […]

Dangerous Column: PAMELA GELLER’S YEAR IN REVIEW, Jihad in America

By Pamela Geller / GELLER REPORT

In each of the past few years, I have done an end-of-the-year summary on jihad activity and Islamization in the United States, so that people might better understand the overarching progress of the jihad in the U.S., and connect the dots.

After years of shouting into the wilderness, the message hit critical mass in November 2016, and Donald Trump, to the absolute shock of the totalitarian left elite, was elected President of the United States.

President Trump’s initiatives to stem jihad and sharia in America have been met with fierce resistance from the jihad-aligned left. Even just last Friday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals yet again struck down his travel ban, despite earlier versions of the ban having been approved by the Supreme Court. This one will be approved by the Supreme Court as well, but the left is doing all it can to obstruct and delay President Trump’s attempts to defend Americans from Islamic jihad attacks.

Let’s review the catastrophic consequences of Obama’s Islamic policies in the U.S., so as to remember what kind of game the 9th Circuit Court is playing. According to the Sinclair Broadcast Group, “FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress Thursday that the agency currently has about 1,000 active ISIS investigations in all 50 states. He claimed hundreds of attacks have been prevented and cited 176 domestic terror-related arrests in the last year.”

It’s Official: Nikki Haley Announces Cuts to the UN Budget

Katie Pavlich / Townhall Tipsheet

Just days after warning the United Nations the United States doesn't pay to be be disrespected, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has announced a $235 million cut to UN Budget. The news comes after more than 100 countries voted to condemn the U.S. for officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol city of Israel. More from Fox News:

Calling it “a big step in the right direction,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Sunday night announced a historic reduction in the U.N. biennial operating budget.

Haley said the plan calls for a $285 million cut for the 2018-19 fiscal year.

“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known,” Haley said. “We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked."

So did at least two other jihadis, Pennsylvania cop shooter Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty and New York City subway jihad bomber Akayed Ullah.

Why the Constitution is still the most important government document, but is always overlooked

By Aedan Aktulun / GELLER REPORT

The Constitution is something we all take for granted in a era where there are accusations about the Constitution that the Founding Fathers have built. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the key player in the AKP party of Turkey, and the current president of this regime, has just recently made a constitutional reform that will drastically change the way the country is governed. Turkey’s fundamental part of the constitution that maintains it as a secular republic is now hanging in the balance, coming under threat of Islamic nationalism.

This has a big effect on the minorities of Turkey, both Jews or Christians that live abroad or are of dual nationality. This means that those people of dual nationality are even more likely to value the ideals of American freedom of ideas and the separation of government and religion. However, the threat in Turkey is greatest for journalists who have had the highest amount of human rights based solely on the fact that they have an opinion which makes them an enemy of the state. According to a CPJ (Committee to Protect Journalists) special report by Elena Beiser for the second year in a row, the number of journalists who have been imprisoned for their work is high. One can’t help but see how superficial the a “social justice warrior” mentality comes off as being fake to those who actually have a real fear and safety for their life in a certain country, and now what it really is like to be in danger of your life for having an opinion.
