State Dept. Blames Israel for Terrorism: Tillerson has got to go, it’s time for John Bolton @POTUS

18

The experiment is not working. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is out of his depth. He has no idea what he is doing. This baptism by fire, on the job training isn’t working. Who knows? Working for decades in the oil industry has made Tilerson used to kowtowing to Muslim world. Tillerson never had the resume for it. Foreign Service is a different kind of animal. Most get subsumed by the culture at State and the snakes in Foreign Service. Condi was consumed by them, and Kerry was completely and utterly out of his depth. They ate him for lunch (and were still hungry).

Amateur hour is over. Send in the cavalry. It’s time for a pro. It’s time for John Bolton. Bolton is tough, brilliant and seasoned. He knows how to deal with careerists, the Arabists, and the Obama-holdovers at State. He would remake the State Department in America’s image — not the EU’s.

There has been too much blood. And he is blaming Israel?

John Bolton is the man for the job. He has the resume, the testicular fortitude, the brash and the brains. It’s time.

State Dept. Blames Israel for Terrorism, Claims Palestinians Rarely Incite Attacks

Latest Trump admin report viewed as wrongly blaming Israel for attacks

By Adam Kredo, July 2017:

The State Department is facing harsh criticism for claiming in an official report that Israel is to blame for terrorism attacks committed by Palestinians and accusing the Jewish state of being largely responsible for an impasse in peace negotiations, according to a leading member of Congress who is calling on the State Department to correct its “inaccurate and harmful” characterization of Israel.

The State Department, in its latest annual report on the global terrorism situation, blames Israeli security policies for stalling the peace process and claims that Palestinians rarely incite terror attacks.

The claims are coming under fierce criticism from pro-Israel advocates and have prompted one leading member of Congress to formally call on the Trump administration to amend the report to more accurately reflect the situation.

Rep. Peter Roskam (R. Ill.), co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus, criticized the latest report in a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and called on the administration to immediately amend it to portray Palestinian terror attacks as a primary reason for the impasse in peace talks.

The State Department’s current characterization, Roskam claims, is harmful to Israel and likely to impede efforts by the Trump administration to renew peace talks.

“The State Department report includes multiple findings that are both inaccurate and harmful to combating Palestinian terrorism,” Roskam wrote in a letter sent Thursday to the State Department, a copy of which was exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. “This report wrongly insinuates Israeli security measures on the Temple Mount and a stalled peace process as key forces behind terrorism.”

“Most egregiously,” Roskam adds, “it portrays the PA as innocent peacemakers far removed from being the source of terrorist activity.”

The State Department characterizes Palestinian calls for terrorism and violence against Israel as “rare,” stating: “Explicit calls for violence against Israelis, direct exhortations against Jews, and categorical denials by the [Palestinian Authority] of the possibility of peace with Israel are rare and the leadership does not generally tolerate it.”

“This assertion is demonstrably false,” Roskam writes. “The PA does not only tolerate terrorist attacks against Israelis but it also incites, rewards, and memorializes those who carry out these horrific attacks.”

Regional organizations monitoring the situation routinely cite the Palestinian Authority and its senior officials as calling for violence against Israel and glorifying past terror acts.

Palestinian television programs also promote violence against Israel and Jews, with some aimed at children promoting hatred of the Jewish state.

The Palestinian government also uses U.S. taxpayer aid to pay salaries to one-time terrorists who are imprisoned in Israel. This issue has become a particular sticking point in peace talks with Israel, and Congress is currently considering legislation that could cut all aid to the PA until it formally ends this terror payment policy.

The President has to realize quickly that all the internationalists in State and other agencies are not on his side and need to be routed out.

Toss the tillerson, bring on Bolton. How anyone can reach tillerson’s age and position and be so totally clueless about a few simple realities is unbelievable. Washington is no longer an place for amateur diplomats to demonstrate stupidity. It is time to get some competence and responsibility in public office.

Yes. End the internationalist games-playing, and derned-tootin’ return to good old- fashioned Judaeo-Christian America and Constitutional Republicanism.

It should have been Bolton from the get go. I once saw him, in action at the University of Chicago and at Q & A time the students lined up at the microphones. They were promptly stamped on and dismissed like weak ants!

It is Tillerson’s job to fire the career bureaucrats and he has chosen not to do so. But I deeply agree with your sentiment.

The first and biggest mistake I saw Trump make was in not making a place for Bolton in his government. It would be a lot easier to move him over than to bring him in. Besides, the crocodile tears from the Senate and media alone would make it all worth while.

To be honest, this incident really was provoked by the Palestinian side, they killed 2 officers in cold blood without any apparent cause, and it escalated from there.

Geller nailed it. I like Tillerson but the careerist are putting something in the water at State for this to happen. Blaming Israel for the terrorism and believing the Palestinians will stop paying the families of terrorists? Goodness, this is pretty basic stuff to get wrong. The big question is if Bolton would take the job.
