    The Massachusetts Democrat spoke to several thousand attendees Friday at The Union For Reform Judaism convention in Boston.

    Warren said she believes a two-state solution is the best hope for peace and that diplomacy between Israel and the Palestinians should determine the final status of Jerusalem.

    She called on Trump to deliver a “comprehensive strategy” for negotiations.

    The Union For Reform Judaism said this week that while Trump was affirming “an age-old dream of the Jewish people,” it also had serious concerns about the timing of the announcement and that it could undercut peace efforts.

    Given her “native-american” background, one could guess she would have reservations about the Trump’s decision.

    Sorry, Senator Warren, but you are factually ignorant. The biggest obstacle to peace is the Arab world’s obsession with hatred toward Israel. Most Arab countries do not recognize Israel’s existence, and many of those engage in constant efforts to murder Israelis and Jews. The only deterrent to these acts of terror is Israel’s military might. It is really PC to want to resolve this issue with diplomacy. But there is a long history of failure. No Republican or Democratic president wanted to buck the insanity of political correctness, until Trump. Most Democrats still suffer from that form of rabies.

    There is no “good time” to make statements regarding the Middle East. The Arabs riot and commit terror anyway, because that is what they do. Has anyone in the Arab world ever called for a “Day of Peace”? No. They cannot. They are a sub-human herd of bloodthirsty savages. Today’s excuse for violence is Trump. Tomorrow it will be something else. Wake up Senator. It is the barbaric, sadistic, bloodthirsty Muslims that are the enemy.

    Like those who questioned President Reagen on his approach to Russia. History proved them wrong.

    In May of 1979, Prime Minister Menachem Begin was invited to London where he was hosted for lunch at 10 Downing St. by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. On his way into their meeting, a reporter asked him, “Are you going to ask Mrs. Thatcher for her support of the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital?” Frigidly, the prime minister answered. “No, sir – under no circumstances.” “Why not?” asked the reporter. Begin answered, “Because, sir, Jerusalem was a Jewish capital long before London was a British capital. When King David moved the capital of his kingdom from Hebron, where he had reigned for seven years, to Jerusalem, where he reigned for 33 years, the civilized world had never heard of London. In fact, they had never heard of Great Britain,” and he turned on his heels towards the door, where Mrs. Thatcher was waiting to greet him.

    In 1947, the U .S. State Dept., as well as General George C. Marshall, and many others in government were against the recognition of Israel, as an independent state. President Harry S. Truman ignored the bureaucrats in the State Department, whom he personally detested, and whom he referred to as “the striped pants boys”. Hence, within 12 minutes after Ben-Gurion proclaimed Israel as an independent State, Truman recognized Israel, as did other countries in the following days. The Soviet Union also was one of the first countries to recognize Israel; in fact, some eight months ago, in April, 2017, Russia, recognized West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. However, there wasn’t a peep from the press at that time, compared to this time. Incidentally, Pocohantas wants her parties’ nomination for President in 2020. She has ZERO chance of beating Trump. The organization where she appeared at (the Institute for Reform Judaism) reminds me of another Reform group, which in 1962 petitioned Israeli President Yitzchak Ben-Zvi to spare Eichmann’s life. Ben-Zvi ignored them, and Eichmann was hanged, as he should have been.
