Middle East Tensions - UK Reaction - Update 4 - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 4.13pm post the following,  " Alistair Burt, the UK’s minister of state for the Middle East, said he was concerned the demonstrations were being “exploited by extremist elements.”  "  

Lets Get Real:

It is nice to see that the FCO for once sees both sides to blame when it comes to the Middle East, normally the Arabist FCO only sees one side, the Arab side.  The Israeli security forces can not allow the Palestinian people to cross the border, that would be a threat to Israeli homes close to the border.  The elite left wing press on the whole is anti Israel, any chance they get they use to undermine Israel and its right to a Jewish State.   The two State solution is DEAD IN THE WATER, it is a dodo, it will not happen, time for the Palestinians to smell the coffee and understand the real politic of the Middle East.

Daily Mail: Reports " Israeli snipers kill scores of Palestinians and wound 1,300 as 35,000 protesters rally against the US Embassy opening in Jerusalem overseen by Trump's Middle East envoy Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka   "

Lets Get Real:

One is sad to see deaths over a building.  But and there is always a BUT, the Israeli Capital is Jerusalem, and the in the Campaign of 2016 Trump promised to move the Embassy to the capital if he was elected.   You can call President Trump many things, but he always keeps his promises, as with the case with Israel.  In a odd way Trump is very truthful, if he promises something he follows through with it, not the norm for Western politicians.  The tough Trump foreign policy has seen a breakthrough with the North Koreans, who is to say that Trump is not right when it comes to the Middle East.  Peaceful protests YES, but violent ones requires the Israeli security forces to react.

Sky News: Reports " 41 Palestinian protesters killed as the opening ceremony for the US embassy in Jerusalem begins. "

Lets Get Real:

The leaders of the Palestinian protests are pushing people to their death, the security of Israel has to be protected.  Not one life is worth it, at the end of the day it is just a building.  The Palestinian leadership have had a chance of their own Country, under the Bill Clinton and Bush 43 Presidencies, but they walked away.   The Palestinian people deserve better leaders, leadership that sees the real world, not some forgotten history.   The Palestinian people should accept a deal that allows Israel to feel secure, otherwise it is a pointless deal. Sad for the MIDDLE EAST, a building is not worth the cost any life.

BBC News: Reports " Gaza clashes: Dozens killed as US opens Jerusalem embassy "

Lets Get Real:

This is an historic day for Israel, the US Government moves its Embassy to Jerusalem, the Capital of a Jewish Israeli State.   The Palestinians think that they will get a State at some time, that will never happen, a Palestinian State would be a threat to Israel, a real Palestinian State would control its borders and air space, these would be used by Iran to spread it terror in to Israel.  The Palestinian people have to understand that Israel and the West in reality will not help or allow for a such a State.  The US will always protect Israel, also the Countries in the Middle East are more worried by a nuclear armed Iran since the Trump Oval exited the Obama/Iran deal.   It is time for Palestinian people to move on, accept a compromised State, one that is not really sovereign, Israel would need to control its borders and airspace, as to secure the security of Israel.
