Donald Trump is abandoning his base and the polices that got him elected. The idea that his Manhattan liberal daughter and son-in-law are calling the shots is appalling.
Report: Bannon Urged Trump to Move U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem — Was Blocked by Jared Kushner
By Aaron Klein, Breitbart, August 20, 2017:
TEL AVIV – According to a report in Vanity Fair, while he served as White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon heavily lobbied President Trump to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem, but the move was blocked by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser.
Citing three Bannon allies, the magazine further reported that Bannon boycotted a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, quipping, “I’m not going to breathe the same air as that terrorist.”
Story continues below advertisementThe magazine revealed that Bannon pushed a tougher stance against the PA, which pays salaries to terrorists imprisoned in the Jewish state for committing violent acts against Israelis and routinely incites against Israel.
Vanity Fair reported:
Bannon, they say, lobbied Trump aggressively to move America’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but was blocked by Kushner. And, according to three Bannon allies, Bannon pushed a tougher line against the Palestinians than Kushner did. In May, when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited the White House, Bannon stayed home. “I’m not going to breathe the same air as that terrorist,” Bannon texted a friend.
Abbas visited the White House and met with Trump last May.
Standing alongside Trump during his White House visit, Abbas attempted to whitewashdecades of official PA incitement to violence and anti-Israel indoctrination that continue unabated to this day. “Mr. President, I affirm to you that we are raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace,” Abbas claimed. “And we are endeavoring to bring about security, freedom and peace for our children to live like the other children in the world, along with the Israeli children in peace, freedom and security.”
Despite the PA’s repeated use of maps that erase Israel and PA propaganda calling for the dismantlement of the Jewish state, Abbas misleadingly claimed at the White House meeting that the “Palestinian people recognize the state of Israel.”
The official media and educational institutions of Abbas’s PA regularly incite against Israel. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a terrorist group responsible for scores of suicide bombings and deadly shooting attacks, is closely aligned with Abbas’s Fatah Party and is routinely referred to as Fatah’s so-called military wing.
Abbas has refused to end payments to convicted terrorists, defending the stipends as a “social responsibility” even though the financing is said to encourage attacks against Israel.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump had repeatedly pledged to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. In July, Trump signed a waiver that delayed for six months a U.S. law requiring the embassy to be relocated from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Bannon, meanwhile, submitted his resignation letter to the White House on August 7 and officially departed the administration last Friday. Within hours, he resumed his role as executive chairman of Breitbart News.
Bannon is known for his pro-Israel views. He was the driving force behind the founding of Breitbart Jerusalem and recruited this reporter to the news agency to defend Israel amid a constant barrage of biased news media reporting.

Bannon may have been fired because of a massive breach of security about NK. He said we could not attack NK because we could protect Seoul. If that’s the true assessment, it was a massive breach, and within a day or two Bannon was fired. I am ignoring the cover stories about when Bannon supposedly resigned etc., which may be no more than that.

What if it costs us the ability to neutralize NK? It’s a hard probllem, because I think Russia is supporting them. They like having NK there as a proxy. If they want to attack us, they’ll just have NK do it, using NK as a buffer. It’s a place where they can threaten us, having this intransigent Kiim there, meanwhile Putin can act very reasonable. This is Putin’s modus operandi. He was backing Hillary by the way.

I think Iran is much more of a threat than NK. NK is a puppet state of the PRC. The PRC could take out N. Korea in week if they had to.

I am not convinced NK is so tied to PRC. Granted they have a lot of business across the border. But Russia also has a highway bridge to NK and historically helped set up this regime. Also, someone is helping NK to leap ahead in technology, and I suspect it’s Russia. Same as they use Iran to threaten us, they also have NK.

Why would Kushner, a Jew, put his own people in peril by blocking that move. Clearly, there is something wrong with this picture. It appears that Kushner is not what he appears to be. No doubt, he is/was a pawn used by the unseen hand to further the agenda to weaken Israel, among other things.

There are several tribes of Jews in which a large portion live in the US and most likely have no idea they have Jewish roots. There were also bad tribes of Jews which are usually referred to as the “red Jews”. These are the evil ones. The same with most religions is there are 2 sides.

It is true! I’m assuming people aren’t talking about it either because they are Jew in hiding or simply have no idea or care in regards to their roots. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the radio and talk show hosts are Jews themselves since Jews were spread and/or migrated into multiple lands across the globe. It would be refreshing to hear more truth in America instead of the garbage the left spits out about bathroom equality and other non-sense.

Evidence to date suggests that the Democrats are doubling down on identity politics, in which case we will, sadly, have four-more years of a fairly ineffective Trump.

The rise of the Anti-Christ should be coming very soon as the Biblical signs are clear. He must be Jewish.

Also, MANY, MANY people believe that the False Prophet in the Book of Revelation of the Holy Bible is THIS Pope.

Mr Trump was and is a New York Liberal. He isn’t a Democrat because they have moved so far left. But what Mr Trump SAID to get elected and what he DOES is typical of politicians, most are liars. As for Kushner- he is such a typical New York Jewish Liberal – their instinct is to side with the “poor oppressed Palestinians” so to have him doing anything on Israel is as bad as any Democrat. Shame on Mr Trump and shame on his arrogant son-in-law.

Perhaps its time for you to move out of the White House and leave the running of the USA to your daughter and her husband.

Is anyone the least surprised that as Jewish “leaders” across the country were demanding Bannon’s head on a spike – a court Jew, Jared Kushner in this particular case, blocked Bannon’s efforts to move the Embassy to Jerusalem – which, incidentally, is required by law in the first place.
Back in 1992, James Baker, at the time Secretary of State to President George H. W. Bush, said “[Expletive] the Jews. They didn’t vote for us anyway.”
They don’t vote for their own interests either.

There was a “JINO” (Jewish In Name Only) who was Chancellor of Austria in the 1970s. He was absolutely no friend of the State of Israel and took sides with the “Palestinians.” Henry Kissinger and Bernie Sanders aren’t my cup of tea in this respect either. The “friendship” to Linda Sarsour the latter flaunts feels like a slap in the face. Most “serious” newspapers all over the world have written that Mr. Bannon is a nazi and KKK sympathizer who hates Jews, also “serious” TV anchors have said the same thing. What is the truth here?
I don’t know whether Jared Kushner is another JINO or not (his wife Ivanka converted to Judaism before marrying him) and I guess this shtik of not moving the embassy to Jerusalem is in order not to upset the Saudis because of the “black gold” they have.
In any case it’s about time to accelerate the search for other energy sources in order not to depend on the Arabs for the above mention mentioned ”black gold…”

If these things are true, President Donald J. Trump has made a grave mistake. He has broken a firm promise to Israel. He and his administration have fallen for capitulation to Israel’s enemies, including many Leftist/Liberal Jews, which it appears is what Jared Kushner is.
Kelly and H. R. McMaster are right in there as well with the same old anti-Israel philosophy and political doctrine. Sadly the Leftist old guard of the IDF and Shin Bet are slitting their own throats and those of their fellow citizens (see Caroline Glick’s commentary on this matter).
Bannon is right; Kushner is wrong, wrong, wrong.

It’s highly likely that Kushner is going down the diplomatic path in order to negate any criticism towards the Trump Administration that it did not give Abbas an opportunity to negotiate fairly. Jarad is not a stupid or impulsive person and in my observation he is trying to help Trump negotiate through rather than bulldoze his way through (which is not working for Trump in terms of getting Bills passed).
In other words, Trump and Kushner KNOW that Abbas will not agree or be reasonable anyway, and they know that peace talks will fail……and that will enable the US to take a more tough line approach towards Palestinian funding, Palestinian demands, and refute Hamas lies publicly. When this period of time for negotiation is up, I think we will see more action and there will be more announcements made regarding the US Embassy AND support for Israel to defend itself.
Patience and seeing the strategic approach is key with Middle East matters. It is too volatile, and any sudden, ill-thought-out move can give Iran and other sympathizers the excuse they need to actively line up against Israel on her borders.
It seems the armchair critics are very quick to dump on Trump despite the fact that they are not privy to closed door meetings, and ongoing plans to support Israel. Even the Bannon departure is quite a clever strategy that could very well be a part of the over-all plan. Time to stay united and not fracture off against the only positive thing that has happened in US Politics for years. I’m encouraging you Americans to continue to support Trumps Administration because we in the Western world (I live in Australia) NEED freedom and truth to win. We can’t allow the leftist agenda to take over.
