The US Embassy is scheduled to open today in Jerusalem

The U.S. Embassy in Israel officially opens on Monday in Jerusalem – a location which has been at the epicenter of tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, as both claim the holy city as their capital – coinciding with the nation’s 70th anniversary.

“It is a historic moment,” Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations said, “We need to celebrate it, and we intend to celebrate it. We are grateful for President Trump for finally – many presidents promised to move the embassy to Jerusalem. He’s delivering, he’s doing it.”

I fear it will hit the fan today as politics, religion and strong emotions come to a head.

Rough start witch was to be expected ...

26 Palestinian protesters are in longer with us and another 900 injured ...

More to come ...

This has been going on for a month now...

Ya .. i know ... it’s been going on since the day he announced it ...

Todays numbers are going to be big ... any death is sad ... todays going to be very very sad in that regard ...

The official ceremony hasn’t even started and i’ve heard between 30- 50k more protesters at multiple locations depending on the media outlet ...

Israel had warned the protesters not to approach the security fence. Protest but stay back from it or you could be hurt.

Those dead and injured did not listen.

Sad.

40: The 15 year old kid shot in the back should have been further than 500 feet from the fence. If only it could've been prevented. So sad.

Bold, good move by Trump.

This should have been done a long time ago and was promised by previous presidents who wilted under criticism.

I'm starting to like Trump even more.

Hopefully future generations of Palestinians and Jews will find peace.

We've assigned this task to *checks notes* Jared Kushner

PDF: Who in their right mind allows a 15 year old boy approach a security fence during a riot?

Wait, you think being a football field and a half away from something is "approaching" it? Seriously?

Or how they're expanding bullets that were banned in 1899 under the Hague convention.

Wait, you think a 15 year old boy should be allowed anywhere near a riot where there is shooting going on? Seriously?

*Israeli army shoots a 15 year old in the back from 150 yards away for no reason*

40: The problem here is with this child's parents

Also, I'm not sure the proper description for indiscriminately shooting at a crowd of people is "riot"

I never mentioned the parents.
Why are you twisting my words so early in the day?
You usually wait to play your games later in the day.

Also, I laughed out loud at 40 not understanding how the joke format works.

40, you're supposed to use it as a re-phrasing that's more pronounced or hyperbolic, not re-state your own opinion.

Please, explain this one to me.

Why should this have been done a long time ago......

I'm really excited to hear this one

Good bye for today.

Aw, 40 is fussy because he got laughed at for trying to argue that a 15 year old being shot in the back from 150 yards away by the Israeli army is somehow not the fault of the Israeli army.

Please don't go, buddy.

It's pretty funny to see who would be in support of segregation in the 60's.

I think we all knew 40 would be a big fan long before we delved into Middle Eastern apartheid.

40: Who allowed those children to be in the vicinity of Bull Connor's fire hose?

Or even apartheid in South Africa until the early 1990's.

Because that is what's been going on over there. Apartheid.

"If MLK didn't deserve to be killed, then he shouldn't have been on the balcony and speaking against the White man."

Well it wouldn’t be segregation if ‘they’d’ just willingly not sit at the lunch counter.

Let's be real: they're not that well read. Even today, they probably think Nelson Mandela is a great Actor.

"Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice."

But in all seriousness, yeah, 40 doesn't exactly seem up to speed on what's going on in the Middle East.

Cons think that Kanye is the new Fredrick Douglass.

Was he in Pulp Fiction? I always get him and Samuel L Jackson confused.

I think he's still behind those two anti-Semitic Trump ladies 40 kept calling "articulate"

I think so. They are a very talented family. Did you ever see the Winnie Mandela biopic 'The Shining'?

Do you guys remember last month when Trump rambled at a rally about a trade war with Rwanda, and all of his rube followers started tweeting at Don Cheadle about it so much that he had to clarify that he's not from Rwanda, and merely acted in a film that contained the county's name.

Ceremony just finished ...

Its official ....

PROMISES MADE ... PROMISES KEPT!!!!

TY Mr. President ....

Speaking of people who would have supported segregation in the 1960's...

We are so lucky to have a strong leader who is cleaning up all these messes after 30 years.

So refreshing to have leadership with some guts for a change.

Congrats to Israel, Congrats to America.

No, I didn't. That's too funny though. Especially since Trump is pissed Rwanda isn't buying hammy down clothes.

TRUMP: *3 part tweet crying about how the hosts of "Morning Joe" were mean to him*

40: What a strong leader

AMEN to that brother ... AMEN to that ...

I love the fact some of the pups have no clue that some of us were alive in the 60’s ...

I was the real odd ball ... i had black friends in the 60’s, yet now i’m learning from the pups i supported segregation ... those two are pretty much MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE ... i must have been a closet segregationist and just didnt know it ... i hate when that happens ...

I guess i owe my black friends from back in the 60’s an apology for supporting segregation while at the same time being friends with them ... i hope they forgive me ... ....

There is a lot of Bad Trump, but this is Good trump.

You simply must try to be a little more understanding of the pups as their world view is distorted by the hate bubble they have to look through.

You openly cheerleader for a racist, and last week said it wasn't racist when he posted white supremacy propaganda on Twitter.

You also once said that you were afraid of Times Square because of its increased diversity.

Do you seriously think saying "I used to have black friends" is somehow absolving of all that?
