A neighborhood advisory panel in Washington that typically focuses on liquor license applications and other local concerns is inserting itself into the international furor prompted by the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last month at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2A, as the Foggy Bottom panel is known, is expected to vote Wednesday to rename the street outside the Saudi Embassy for Khashoggi, a Washington Post contributing columnist who resided in Virginia.
Under the proposal, the east side of New Hampshire Avenue NW between F Street and Juarez Circle would become Jamal Khashoggi Way. The Watergate complex is on the west side of New Hampshire Avenue NW.
The measure would have to be approved by the D.C. Council and, as is the case with all local legislation, would be subject to congressional review.

This is the sort of thing the Chinese Communists used to do. For example, in the mid-’60’s, they renamed the street on which the Soviet embassy stood, “Street of the Fight Against Revisionism.”
I’m fine with it. These knucklehead poison Europe and the U.S. with their demented Wahabbi mosques, butcher a sometime journalist, and we’re supposed to be fine with that because “muh oil” and “he’s MB.”
We’re becoming more and more energy independent. I am thankful that we did sanction 17 Islamoloons in that regime for the killing. The only use the Saudis have for us is as an ally against Iran, IMO, albeit that is a good thing to have. So, if we can’t sanction the batcrap crackers Crown Prince, the least we could do is to show our disdain in some other way.
I actually also like the suggestion in the thread to rename the street after the original World Trade Center, since 15 of the 19 terrorist were Saudis.
Why lets name it Muslim Brotherhood Blvd. for accuracy.
Avenue of 911 Heroes ...
Only if it’s a dead end.
“Bowe Bergdhal Boulevard” has a nice ring (smirk).
a body “that typically focuses on liquor license applications” wants to name a street after alcohol-prohibiting Muslim Brotherhood person!
...........weird...........
Cool. Lets also get Osama BIn Ladin Court and Saddam Circle while we are celebrating known terrorists.
PORK STREET
MBS is making lots of good reforms and is a silent ally of Israel against Iran. If he gave orders to off Khashoggi the Muslim way (brutally) that’s his own business. This is an internal Saudi matter. I could care less.
And Khashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood propagandist...so who cares what happened to him.
“Why lets name it Muslim Brotherhood Blvd. for accuracy.”
Perfect!
Have any streets or buildings been named after the 4 American patriots murdered in Benghazi??
Wasnt this the same group that mocked freedom fries?
“I hate people.....”
Me too! Love dogs, hate people.
just hang a pic of the prince being hanged outside the embassy
Name it after an Israeli instead and p1ss off antifa antisemites at the same time.
D - All of the above.
Great. Name a few more streets after the 9/11 terrorists. Same thing.
At least the cabbies will be able to understand the name. The only other names they seem to recognize are DuPont Circle and the airport.
would be subject to congressional review
Elections have consequences.
Hi. I hope you are doing well.
“Have any streets or buildings been named after the 4 American patriots murdered in Benghazi??”
Good question.
How about a dedication to Cankles? Bloody Benghazi Blvd?
