Netanyahu and Trump are celebrating and smiling at the "opening" of the US embassy in Jerusalem while dozens of Palestinians are again slaughtered in cold blood.
It's very difficult to watch the "celebrations" in Jerusalem without wanting to be sick. An American soldier sings the Star Spangled Banner. The reception is muted. Ivanka and her husband hold hands on heart in a desperate attempt to encourage others. But this is not about them. This is not about the USA. It is not about Trump. It's not even about Israel. It is about Netanyahu.
Benjamin Netanyahu is all smiles. Smarmy smiles by a man who has got his way. A man who has convinced Trump, the so-called "leader of the free world", to be his stooge. A man who has fooled Trump into entering the fray in Israel and Palestine. A man who smirks all day because Trump is celebrating his final humiliation of the Palestinians while he is killing their protestors down the road.
And no-one is shouting STOP.
At least no-one who matters. We do not matter. Jewish protestors at the White House do not matter. The Jewish Voices for Peace do not matter. Conscientious voices within Israel do not matter. Government leaders do. But the common chant of these leaders is that Israel should "show restraint". A new definition for weasel words.
Who cares if 52 people are shot dead and 2000 injured as long as they are not Israeli citizens.
Shame on Israel. Shame on Trump. Eternal shame on Netanyahu
