Iran votes to declare Jerusalem 'capital of Palestine'

Iran declared Jerusalem the "capital of Palestine" on Wednesday following a parliamentary vote, according to the country's semi-official Fars news agency.

Iran's announcement to recognize the holy city as the “Palestinian capital forever” comes in direct response to President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

“It comes in response to the recent U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in hopes of dealing a blow to Muslims,” said Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, according to Turkey's Anadolu news agency.

I think we should vote to declare Tehran the capitol of France.

First problem with this vote is there is no such country as “Palestine”.

Second problem is Jerusalem is already taken as a capitol. It’s the capitol of Israel.

Fail. Fail.

Was Moses “anti-semitic” when Korah (the former Pharaoh’s treasurer) the “fallen angel” was buried in response to his insurrection against God’s law?

Same ol’ state-established Ba’al manure, different municipal toilet.

The U.S.A. should sit this iteration of the squabble out - let them spill only their own blood this time.

No doubt the U.N. would agree.

“Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Israel are the most advanced in the Middle East, and one of the most advanced in Asia.[1] Although same-sex sexual activity was legalized in 1988, the former law against sodomy had not been enforced since a court decision of 1963...”

With all the Mohammedans in the UN do you really have to wait and wonder?

Israel is a sovereign nation.

What Iran did was akin to voting that Paris is the capital of Germany.

The last person who tried that stunt was Adolph Hitler.

You don’t even have to leave Iran to know where it’s capital ought to be:

>>Advanced, eh?

Isa 24:5-6
5 The earth is defiled by its people;
they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
NIV


I wonder what prince Jawad and the poodle brigade think that means?

Same ol' Ba'al manure. 

Different municipal toilet.
