Is Israel's embassy Trump's Benghazi?

The Jerusalem Embassy Act was passed into law by the Congress and the Senate in 1995. The very first sentence in the Act states: "To provide for the relocation of the United States Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and for other purposes".

Each President since that time has routinely invoked the six month waiver provided for in the Act. Trump made good on a campaign promise to enforce what the people's duly elected representatives had already made into law. The Obama administration held all three branches of government early in his administration, surely he had the votes to repeal the law.

How you get from that to Benghazi is a mystery to me. It is common knowledge that Hamas has been indiscriminately killing other brown people since 1987. Twenty-one percent of the Israeli population identifies as Arabs (brown people) holding Israeli citizenship and from what I can tell they are not blowing themselves up with suicide vests in crowded public areas and killing civilians because the US is going to change addresses for it's embassy.

Notice how every other president decided not to act on such silly act?

Fair Point. Trump is certainly not a politician by any stretch of the imagination. The politically expedient play is to continue to kick the can down the road.
 
Fixed that for you


Kicking the can down the road is a great plan until it isn't.

Howd it work out when O'Dufus kicked the can down the road with the JV Team?

It was "correct and non-fatal" if you could overlook the children being burned alive in cages- which Dufus was able to do quite well for a long time. Oh that's right you are one of the great protectors of brown people.

Sure Bone, he was headed for ruin from the Trump University scam among much else as he was *broke I'd expect so took large amounts of money from seriously extremist Israeli oligarchs.

Very noble. You need to grow up.

*Fairly sure it will turn out his debts exceeded his assets massively. I am pretty wealthy but nothing whatsoever to the three deca-billionares I have worked for and met/chatted with extensively. Trump to them is like "Norman" (recent Richard Gere movie, good film), an anxious grasper but without much of the charm.

He has something... just going low road every time is not necessary.

There are Israeli oligarchs paying Trump ? Do tell...

Sheldon Adelson is the US side of the extreme and dangerous ultra Zionists. The guy doing major influence peddling in Israel.. I'll ask my assistant to remind me tomorrow. Late here in Europe at the moment. She was on about it a couple of weeks back.

Sholom Rubashkin's commutation seems very clear repayment to someone. Trump is having his strings pulled.

Well apparently the commutation you speak of (I was totally unaware, thanks Google) was very widely and publicly supported on a bipartisan basis. This is something that of all things unholy Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump agreed with. Huh, who'd a thunk that one?

"That view [and excessive sentence with 8 years already served] was supported by legislators in both parties, including Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, and three former U.S. attorneys general."

Lot of anti-semitic code talk going on in some of the posts here. Modern versions of all the Rothchild cloak and daggar smear campaigns where rich jews were allegedly controlling all the powers in the world.

Just substitute "Israeli oligarchs" for the term "rich jews" and it is pretty much the same old- same old.
