German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel warned Thursday that continued Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank endangers the possibility of a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians and could lead to war in the Middle East, Reuters reported.

“We are concerned that unlimited construction of settlements will … make a two-state solution impossible and could increase the risks of conflicts in the Middle East, including possible war,” Sigmar Gabriel said during a news conference at a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in Bonn, Germany.

Despite being one of Israel’s strongest allies, Germany has taken a more critical stance against Israel of late, particularly in regards to Israeli settlement policy.

On Monday, the Haaretz daily reported that Germany cancelled an upcoming summit in Jerusalem between the Israeli and German governments due to Angela Merkel’s unhappiness with a law passed in the Knesset last week legalizing outpost settlements built on private Palestinian land, as well as the announcement of some 6,000 new homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the inauguration of US President Donald Trump in January. …

Good to know the Chancellor of Germany is working on a Final Solution to a Jewish problem that has nothing to do with Germany.

Golly, they mean the Arabs might attack Israel? Wow, who would guess something like that might happen. It's absolutely unheard of.

Does anyone find it ironic that the Germans are saying this since they have become part of the caliphate.
Germany was conquered by the MUDSLIMES about 18 to 24 months ago.

Whens the best time to kill a raghead; when their ass is in the air, and it’s supposed to happen 5 times a day.

Two States living side by side in Peace is a dead dream. It is a war—one side must win—one side lose. Ask yourself, If the Islamic people won—what would happen? A Bloodbath—all Jews killed, the streets would run with blood, Millions would die. They would kill Christians too and even peaceful Arabs. Israel must become as mean and bloody as the radicals—Push the Islamic People into the sea—or out into the desserts to die. Hard, cruel, but no worse than the fate the Jews would suffer if they won. How about forced conversions? All who live in Israel must become Jews! All children raised in the traditional Jewish Faith. babies taken from Burka wearing slave/women and raised by Jews—as Jews. All Mosques Burned to the ground! Even the Dome of the Rock—blow it up and rebuild Solomons Temple!

War? Really? Like how is that different than what the Palis are doing now? It’s like saying “if you don’t do what I want, I’ll be really really mean instead of just plain simple mean to you”
