The US has plunged its relations with Israel into crisis
Israel National News ^ | 05/11/2021 | Caroline Glick

In light of the reactions from Washington to the Hamas-and Fatah-inspired Arab violence in Jerusalem, it is hard to see how Israel will be able to maintain a constructive dialogue about its relations with the Palestinian Arabs with the Biden administration or more broadly, with the Democrat Party.

Indeed, the reactions coming out of Washington to the Arab violence in Jerusalem indicate that Israel will be hard-pressed to conduct a constructive dialogue with Washington about anything, and that this will be the case regardless of who forms the next Israeli government.

On Saturday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) published a shocking post on her Twitter account in response to the Arab riots in Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, which started in earnest last Thursday. The progressive powerhouse wrote, “The forced removal of long-time Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah is abhorrent and unacceptable. The Administration should make it clear to the Israeli government that these evictions are illegal and must stop immediately.”

Warren’s statement isn’t a demand for justice for Arabs. It is a demand for injustice for Jews.

Warren has adopted this position—and is demanding that the Biden administration adopt it as well—for one reason. Warren is only demanding an action that empowers terror groups presently engaged in organized violence against Jews because the property owners are Jewish. If they were Muslims or Christians or members of any other group, she wouldn’t have cared. But since they are Jews, Warren is spreading blatant lies that effectively justify terrorism, thuggery and mob violence.

This brings us to the Biden administration and to the issue of its position on Warren’s anti-Semitic demand for Jews to be denied their legal right to property simply because they are Jewish. Unfortunately, there is very little daylight between Warren’s anti-Semitic position and the administration’s stand on the issue.

Even before Warren opened her mouth, on Friday the State Department issued a statement on the events in Sheikh Jarrah. It read: “We are … deeply concerned about the potential eviction of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrh and Silwan neighborhoods of Jerusalem, many of whom have lived in their homes for generations. As we have consistently said, it is critical to avoid steps that exacerbate tensions or take us farther away from peace. This includes evictions in East Jerusalem, settlement activity, home demolitions, and acts of terrorism.”

People can argue about what a peaceful settlement between the Palestinian Arabs and Israel should look like. There is a wide spectrum of legitimate positions in this policy dispute. But those who seek to deny individual Jews their well-established property rights simply because they are Jews are not a legitimate side in that policy debate or any other policy debate. They are antisemites.

Statements like Warren’s and the State Department’s don’t serve to calm the situation and restore peace to Jerusalem. They serve to incite still more violence by inspiring the likes of Fatah and Hamas to believe that the United States supports them as they threaten an all-out terror offensive, beat Jews, burn Jewish property and intimidate Israeli judges, government ministers and police into unlawfully discriminating against Jews.

In light of the administration’s hostile behavior, and the even more hostile positions of the dominant progressive wing of the Democrat Party, the prospects for constructive relations between the Biden administration and Israel have all but disappeared.

And yet the vast majority of dual Israeli-U.S citizens living there voted for Biden and will continue to vote Democrat until the Arabs wipe them out ....

Don’t forget—Bibi congratulated Biden while court challenges were in play. He’s made his bed—unfortunately the People of Israel have to lie in it.

Bibi does what he has to do for his country and people. It’s ridiculous to suggest Bibi calling Biden is the cause of Israel’s problems. It didn’t change anything.

Maybe Bibi called Biden in order to try to get on the good side of someone not completely anti-Semitic in the Democratic Party. If Trump had come through with the win, relations could likely have been patched up. In the opposite case, Bibi calling Trump and Biden taking the White House, it would have been a very difficult situation.

Per the article:

“The situation in Sheikh Jarrah is cut and dried. Buildings in the neighborhood that were purchased by Jews 146 years ago were illegally seized in 1948 by Jordan as its forces illegally occupied eastern, northern and southern Jerusalem in the course of the pan-Arab invasion of the nascent Jewish state. During the course of Jordan’s illegal occupation of those areas of Jerusalem, the Jordanian Registry of Enemy Property illegally leased the Jewish-owned buildings to Arab tenants.”

Continued

“When Israel liberated the Jordanian-occupied areas of Jerusalem in 1967, the owners of the buildings reasserted their property rights. Their ownership over the properties in Sheikh Jarrah was duly registered in Israel’s land registry in 1973. But when the owners tried to retake possession a 48-year legal battle between the owners and the squatters began, which is scheduled to finally come to an end this week.”

As Israel says...” it is hard to see how Israel will be able to maintain a constructive dialogue about its relations with the Palestinian Arabs with the Biden administration or more broadly, with the Democrat Party.”

Unfortunately the citizens of this country were warned and didn’t take the warning if Biden was seated.....everything we said, and Trump said, would come is doing so.

77% of Jewish voters voted for Biden. May you enjoy the consequences of your decision.
