    The U.S. administration’s announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital has triggered violence. In a statement Sunday the Holy See recalled Francis’s appeal last week for “wisdom and prudence” to prevail and it reiterated its position asserting “the essential need for respecting the status quo” of Jerusalem.

    The Vatican statement says only a negotiated solution between Israelis and Palestinians can achieve “stable and lasting peace and guarantee the peaceful co-existence of two states within internationally recognized borders.” It calls Jerusalem “a sacred city for Christians, Jews and Muslims from all over the world.”

    Isn’t it ironic how we all admit that when the Palestinians are dissatisfied there will be violence? And we can never speak the truth lest we suffer from their wrath. What about condemning their sick violent nature? They are wild beasts.

    May Palestinians be smitten with Cancer &ALS;

    The Orange Yutz would have been nominated for the Nobel if he offered the Palis something in return, but the Yutz of course screwed that up. He should be nominated for the Adolf War Prize instead. What a ‘deal maker’ Remember he said how easy it would be to make a peace deal in the mid east? Another brain-dead statement by the Yutz.

    What a crazy world. Instead of everyone recognizing how insane it is that the Palestinians are like tantruming two year olds everyone takes their side?!

    To #3-Hashomer- Regarding the name which you use for Trump, which starts with a “Y”, kindly be advised, that it you would substitute a “P” instead, it would describe you perfectly!
