Why anti-Jerusalem statement protests around the world are fake news

Interestingly, governments in the countries where there are massive protests going on, as well as physical attacks on Jewish sites (here's looking at you, Sweden), have not issued any statements calling for peace and dialogue. That's because such protests against an uncontrollable course of events related to people they have absolutely nothing to do with and living far away, is in the interests of those governments. Rather than refocusing on the needs of their people, they are far happier having the attention diverted elsewhere = as has been the case for decades. Same people who are now protesting over the alleged violation of rights for Palestinians by the mere statement of recognition of an already Jewish portion of Jerusalem with Israeli government in it would not grant Palestinians full citizenship in their own land. (AHEM, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, etc.) So let's see what's really going on:

1. Either this is not about Trump's statement (because Trump did not explicitly recognize any particular Jerusalem borders), and it's all about Israel not having a right to exist, even including specifically Jewish sites)

or

2. No one actually cares about it just as no one cares about the Palestinians, and people just want to let out their generalized rage at life, but they don't have the freedom to protest their own government, so to make themselves feel better, they pretend to be outraged about some distant cause to which they have little connection. Also, when was the last time Palestinians stood up for their rights to anything? Have Palestinians picked up the human rights issue in Egypt? Have they protested against al-Assad in Syria? Taken an issue with Hizbullah's corruption and control in Lebanon? No? And yet all these people are rioting on their behalf.

Enough With the Threats About Jerusalem

If, as a result of any White House Jerusalem-related announcements, mass violence occurs, the full blame will be with the rioters and their corrupt instigators, not with the President of the United States for conducting reasonable and fair foreign policy in doing nothing more than recognizing the political capital of a sovereign state and declaring intent to move the US embassy there. Particularly unwelcome are riots from people who have been on the US taxpayer dole for many decades and have paid us back with the murders of our citizens.

Who Stands in the Way of Palestinian Self-Determination?

The Palestinian leadership has been denying its people their right to self-determination since 1948. Think about. Thanks to Rahim Hamid for inspiring reflection.

Normalization of Terrorism in Israel

Of the three Israeli soldiers who were murdered by the terrorist, one was of Ethiopian background, one was Arab, and one was a light-skinned guy.

Terror does not discriminate by race, religion, or origin.

Palestinian attacks against Israel have killed Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, civilians, soldiers, citizens, tourists, visitors, foreign workers, men, women, children, people of all ages and all backgrounds.

The Western press barely covers these bloody and terrible murders, unless the terror attack is of such numerical magnitude as to attract mass attention.

Terror against Israelis has been normalized. We hardly pay attention, same as we hardly pay attention to slave trade in Libya, or terrorist explosions in Afghanistan.

This is what normalization of hatred, evil Islamist ideology, and terror looks like.
