The move announced by the Hague-based International Court of Justice comes against a backdrop of deeply strained ties between Washington and the Palestinians, in part because of the Trump Administration’s decision in December to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv in May.
Times of Israel (h/t Marvin W) The move infuriated the Palestinians, who claim East Jerusalem, which Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War, as their capital. The Palestinian Authority broke off contact with the US after the Jerusalem announcement.
Abbas also said at the time he would go to the ICC and ICJ over what he claimed was evidence that Israel planned to allow Jewish prayer on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Rumors of Jewish prayer being allowed have in the past sparked widespread violence.
The PA leader also indicated he would sue the US at the ICJ over its Jerusalem decisions and the slashing of funds for the UN Relief and Works Agency, which provides welfare to Palestinian who don’t want to work.
Palestinian Authority textbooks encourage children to view the entirety of Israel as Arab territory, and teach them to seek the land’s liberation even at the cost of martyrdom, according to a new report.

Let see how UN tell Turkey to get out of Cyprus! Turkey illegally invaded North Cyprus in 1974…. still there!

Why don’t they just attack the embassy? We all know that they want to. And we all know that it will not end like Benghazi.
Nunya Bidness says
Wrong venue. Abbas would have more luck filing a suit in Hawaii where a US judge could issue a nationwide injunction forbidding the Embassy from being located in Jerusalem. He could cite “anti Palestinian enmity” on the part of the President as invalidating the move.

Bwhaaahaaahaar besides showing them the finger and not budgeting, Trump should cut ALL funding to these nasty Arabs and the UN
cat says
The un is a corrupt organization of islamically controlled hell hole countries. I hope that this corrupt un soon loses all support and I hope that President Trump will soon stop all funding for the un. A part quote from C. Malcolm.” the annual love-in of the world’s despots, dictators, and a handful of Western liberal democratically-elected leaders — also known as the United Nations General Assembly.” Yes. ‘The un is a world of wasteful make-believe, where we all pretend that the UN has real legitimacy or exists beyond the purpose of stroking the egos of the madmen who run the world’s most regressive regimes. The un, Security Council, is an immoral and corrupt institution, known for politicizing global conflicts and disproportionately singling out Israel for defending itself against terrorism while ignoring gruesome human rights abuses in neighbouring countries. It is time to Abolish the un.
gornisht-helfen says
Abolish the UN, remove them from NYC. The hell with them, ad infinity.
The land where the UN stands, should either be sold and used to build the WALL, , or the building used to house homeless veterans. Would help clean up streets of San Francisco. and other shitholes.

Along with their mother’s milk, Muslim children are indoctrinated to a MURDEROUS HATE for Jews, Christians and all other non-Muslim innocents.
Muslim children embrace barbarism and savagery with horrifying enthusiasm making it too dangerous to even allow Muslim children into our nations.
Palestinian Children Taught to Hate Jews
solange Silverman says
Even if it did, the United Nazis has no power to enforce such an order, which the U.S. would most certainly dismiss, especially after Trump’s latest speech denouncing globalism at the UN.
David Grisez says
The United States with President Trump has already moved the United States Embassy to the capital city of Israel, which is Jerusalem. This is where our embassy belongs, and the United States under president Donald Trump will not back down from this. Because of all the Jewish hatred in the Koran the Palestinian Authority hates this. Just let them hate and oppose this, because there is no actual Palestine nation and Jerusalem was never and is not now a capital of Palestine.
Linda Rivera says
End the Abomination and CRIME Against HUMANITY of Giving TAXPAYER MONEY TO THE UN AND MUSLIM TERRORISTS
NO more taxpayer money to Muslim countries and organisations.
* PLO Leader: The Palestinian People Does NOT Exist – March 31, 1977
PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein: “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese.
Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism – Dutch newspaper Trouw
Linda Rivera says
U.S. president John Adams: “I will insist the Hebrews have contributed more to civilize men than any other nation.
If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations…
They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews.”
Linda Rivera says
No Power on Earth will Ever be able to Extinguish the Light of Reborn Israel. Israel’s Light will Shine Forever!
Arabs first started calling themselves “Palestinians” in 1967. Global terrorist, Egyptian Arafat was the first leader of this new people.
Partner with Arafat for over 40 years; immorally respected by the US/EU-Holocaust denier, TERRORIST Abbas, financed the SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE MURDERS of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
Before 1948, Jews were known as the Palestinians.
The Jewish newspaper, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestine Post. The Jewish-founded electric company was Palestine Electric.
The Palestinian Symphony Orchestra was all Jewish. During World War II, the British army had a Palestinian Brigade made up entirely of Jewish volunteers.
After Jews migrated to Palestine in significant numbers in the late 1800s and miraculously transformed desert and swamps into rich, agricultural land, Arabs came in large numbers from Arab countries for jobs from the Jews.
The fact that the overwhelming majority of Arabs resided only briefly in Palestine is attested to by a one-time special UN decree:
That any Arab who had resided in Palestine for only two years before 1948, and then left, would be considered a refugee and so would his descendants!
Throughout history, people were NEVER regarded as refugees if they had resided in a country for ONLY TWO YEARS because they were clearly CITIZENS OF OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!

Abbas said that he would go to the ICC and ICJ over what he claimed was evidence that Israel planned to allow Jewish prayer on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Rumors of Jewish prayer being allowed have in the past sparked widespread violence.
On Judgement Day, God’s WRATH will strike Muslim TERRORIST Abbas and VIOLENT Muslims…
The Muslim claim that the Temple Mount is their Third Holy Place is a LIE.
In all of history, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount was Never a Holy Place for Muslims:
13th Century Arab biographer Yakut noted: “Mecca is holy to Muslims; Jerusalem is holy to the Jews.”
The conquest of Jerusalem and all Israel is a major goal of global jihad. The PLO’s Palestinian National Covenant of 1964, does not mention Jerusalem even once.
Jerusalem is mentioned hundreds of times in the Bible. Not once in the Quran. At the time of Warlord Mohammad’s death, there was not a single mosque in Jerusalem.
From 1948-1967, when Jordan invaded and illegally occupied Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem, Jordanian radio broadcast Friday prayers not from Al-Aqsa Mosque, but from a mosque in Amman, Jordan.
No foreign Arab leader visited Jerusalem during the nineteen years Jordan illegally occupied and controlled Jerusalem.
David says
That should be an interesting law suit. Abbas suing the United States over our embassy placement and cutting funds to a UN agency. Must be an Islamic thing like their claim of ownership of land from conquests, or the ludicrous idea that if you gave a donation to a charity group you have to keep giving for life! Oh that’s right it is Islamic, once a Muslim a Muslim for life.???
Rebel Patriot says
I hereby command the UN to use whatever means necessary to remove all fakestinans from the gaza strip and west bank. This land will then be given to Israel for the use of Israeli citizens. That land will then be given to Israel for use by Israeli citizens. I hereby decree it. Rebelpatriot.

The CIA and the FDA, etc are anti-American. They are arms of the CCP. The FBI is responsible for many of the terrorist attacks in the US, false flag attacks. Notice that we never hear anything re the perps, after the media blast?

These so called Palestinians are such rubbish.
There isn’t a single Jew that is worth less than the combined value of every Muslim that lives or ever lived or will ever live..

Wishful thinking, Abbas. Jerusalem is the capital of ISRAEL now. Stop those temper tantrums; they make you look immature. When you can prove yourself capable of anything other than terrorism, hatred and racism, your fortunes might reverse.

Who cares? Let them bark all they want. Maybe a change in their situation will make it harder for them to do their population jihad- over breeding.
