Trump and Jerusalem (22 December 2017)

Trump and Jerusalem....dated 22-12-2017

●     Yesterday I followed the General Assembly's debate concerning the annulment of the American president's decision regarding the relocation of the American embassy to Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish people... as he claims... which was passed by an overwhelming majority. We observed the US delegate to the United Nations, who was at the height of arrogance and haughtiness... and she left after the Israeli representative delivered his provocative speech against the member states of the General Assembly, calling them puppets... and saying that any decision put to a vote "will go to the dustbin of history..!." Despite the fact that it is the United Nations that created Israel..! What drew my attention was the delegate's attempt to pass an envelope containing the image of a Jewish coin dated about 70 years before the birth of Christ, peace be upon him, to prove to the world that they have owned the land for thousands of years before Christ.... but this did not work with the majority of the world's assembled states, which voted to annul the Trump decision and its effects..... and it was a victory for international justice and international legitimacy, and for Palestinian diplomacy... which performed a wonderful job in cooperation with all regional and global blocs. What attracts my attention is that when Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish people, and not the State of Israel, and linked it with the showing of the ancient coin by the Israeli delegate... I became convinced that Trump made his decision regarding Jerusalem from a religious perspective... since he is from the sect of Christian Zionists, who believe in the links between the Jewish people, the Temple, and Jerusalem, and these ideas emerged... from a text that world Zionism invokes, which subjects the events of the past to manipulation and distortion, where they considered the ancient conquest of Palestine (Joshua son of Nun) to be a divine promise found in the Book of Genesis of the Old Testament (15:18) and its text ("On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates").. Excerpt from the book "Jews in the Ancient World" by its authors Dr. Mustafa Kamal Abd al-Alim and Dr. Sayed Faraj Rashid.. First edition 1995... and in the Book of Exodus likewise with the same meaning (32:7-14)

●     As for the Book of Joshua, it contains the text ("Every place that the sole of your foot treads upon I have given you...") Book of Joshua (1:3-4)

●     I will not prolong this for you, as the referenced book has been in front of me for weeks... but it is perfectly clear that Trump's decision will not stop at Jerusalem... rather it will be followed by other tragedies... against the Palestinians... and the Arabs... in many other places trodden by Jewish feet.... when they lived in settled communities in most Arab countries... in Medina.... Babylon and Sinai... and others are likely to emerge....

●     The danger of the situation is that Trump does not respect the principles of international legitimacy in honoring agreements signed between states.. behold he wants now to withdraw from the agreement of the states with Iran regarding its nuclear program, and he wants to withdraw recognition of Cuba... and he withdrew from the climate summit conference.. etc..... and what about the American delegate's threat... to record the names of the states that will vote with the Assembly's decision.... as if she were a schoolmistress marking the roll of a row of students..! All of this is in the same context... and it is expected that America will withdraw funding from the nongovernmental organizations that are widespread and targeted by it in the Middle East.. in addition to restricting American support for the international organization... etc..

●     The Arab states must realize that the intent is deliberate, and what remains is fragmentation, planting terrorism, destroying countries, and keeping some US military units quietly in these countries as happened and is happening in northern Syria.. and its companies will enter reconstruction tenders later to create jobs in the United States..!

●     But what is the situation of the Palestinians in this turmoil... where President Abu Mazen promised at his reception after Trump assumed the presidency that he — Abu Mazen — would sign with Trump an upcoming peace agreement.. but the matter was reversed, and he began to intone that the Palestinians need a new leadership..!

●     By God, it is arrogance and haughtiness..!. May God conceal what is hidden under the table, with Trump's allies in the Arab world, whose names, as I suspect, the American delegate did not record, because she is in agreement with them... and God and His Messenger know best…!
