Australia to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel? Maybe

Australia will formally recognize Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, as the capital of Israel. The Australian national security committee approved the measure on Tuesday, The Times of Israel reported.

They were expected to formally announce the decision on Wednesday, but Australia's prime minister Scott Morrison appeared to get cold feet and said the announcement was premature. During a conference in Adelaide, Morrison was asked about the decision and said that "when I'm in a position to make that announcement, I will."

In October, Morrison said that he was "open" to recognizing Jerusalem as the capital, and that it would be "sensible" and "persuasive" to relocate the embassy there.

In a follow-up conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Australian leader said: “We’re committed to a two-state solution, but frankly it hasn’t been going that well, not a lot of progress has been made, and you don’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results.”

In a statement on social media on Tuesday, senior Palestinian official scumcrumpet, Saeb Erekat, harshly criticized Australia’s decision and called on Arab and Muslim countries to sever all diplomatic ties with the country, if Australia moves ahead with the announcement. 

Erekat said Arab and Muslim countries [but I repeat myself] have adopted a resolution calling to break off ties with countries recognizing Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, as the capital of Israel.

One cabinet minister said to The Sydney Morning Herald  that a “practical and pragmatic approach” was needed to ensure Australia’s Muslim trading partners are not upset, but also so that it does not appear that Morrison is backing down from what he said in October. At the time, Morrison came under criticism for his announcement right before the by-election, with his critics charging that he was “pandering” to the Jewish constituents in the district.

For Muslims, not rocketing, shooting or otherwise killing Jews is a form of pandering to them.

As it stands now, Australia is in a holding pattern and it looks like they might put their collective tails between their collective legs and pee on their collective tails.

Palestinian 'peace negotiator' tell Nikki Haley to 'shut up'

Oxymoron: a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g., Palestinian peace negotiator).

A senior Palestinian official accused the Trump administration of attempting to spark a "coup" of Palestinian leadership and slammed the United States' UN Ambassador Nikki Haley. 

Saeb Erekat, a so-called "peace negotiator" for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, told Ambassador Haley to "shut up." Apparently Erekat is no less typical of many Muslim men who see women as half as intelligent, and half as valued as men, as the prophet of Islam, Mohammad, said years before he was poisoned by a woman.

Erekat is the P.A.'s head peace negotiator, a laughable oxymoron of a position for a group of radical Muslims whose idea of peace will come when all the Jews are slaughtered and Palestine takes over Israel. He complained in an interview with the Palestinian fake news agency al-Watan that Haley had "called for overthrowing the democratically elected Palestinian president."

What actually happened was that Abbas gave a speech last month that denied the Jew's historical connection to Israel, which is denying the history of the Jewish religion as depicted in the Old Testament. Abbas blasted the Trump administration's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and Haley responded in a speech at the U.N. saying:

"A speech that indulges in outrageous and discredited conspiracy theories is not the speech of a person with the courage and the will to seek peace."

Erekat then claimed Haley's remarks amounted to a "coup" against the "Palestinian political system" and that the U.S. and Israel wanted to "undermine the Palestinian national project." [The project's slogan is: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," meaning that all the Jews will be gone from Israel.]

"Nikki Haley needs to shut up and realize that the Palestinian leadership is not the problem," Erekat said. "Instead, the problem is the Israeli occupation and the policies it continues to pursue. I'm not saying that we don't make mistakes; every society and every government makes mistakes."

And a so-called 'peace negotiator' who tells a United States ambassador to the U.N. to 'shut up' has made the mistake of messing with the wrong country and the wrong woman using the wrong tactic.
