German leaders just can’t help themselves. Bloody awful. It’s not enough that the “Chancellor of the migrants” flooded the continent with millions of Jew-haters, she means to work against the Jewish State.
Merkel urged Romanian president to not move embassy to Jerusalem
Germany refuses to say if Jerusalem is Israel’s capital.
NEW YORK – In an effort to stop Romania’s government from relocating its embassy to Jerusalem, German chancellor Angela Merkel called Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis in April, urging him to stop Bucharest’s declared announcement to move its diplomatic building to Israel’s capital.
A Western source told The Jerusalem Post that Merkel lobbied the Romanian president to put a halt on the relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem. It is believed that Merkel called other European politicians as part of a campaign to block the relocation of European embassies to Jerusalem.

The president of Romania’s Chamber of Deputies and a member of Romania’s governing party, the social democratic politician Liviu Dragnea, told the television station Antena 3 in April that the “government adopted a memorandum deciding to start the procedure to effectively move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.”
The dramatic and apparent anti-Israel intervention by Merkel, who proclaimed in a Knesset speech in 2008 that Israel’s security interests are “non-negotiable” and part of Germany’s raison d’être, was not denied by the governments of Romania and the Federal Republic.
A spokesperson for the Romanian ministry of foreign affairs wrote the Post on Friday by email that “Regarding your question, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot comment on alleged discussions between Angela Merkel and the Romanian President. We would advise you to contact the Presidential Administration should you need to have further information.” Iohannis’s office did not immediately respond to a Post query.
A spokeswoman for the Merkel administration wrote the Post on Thursday “We cannot report from confidential talks.” When asked if Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, the Merkel administration spokeswoman declined to answer directly. She said that the “status of Jerusalem should, in the framework of an agreement, be clarified.” The spokeswoman said a solution to the conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis can take place with an agreed upon two-state solution, adding “Until a such an agreement is reached, all sides should avoid steps that sharpen the existing tensions and complicate a peaceful solution of the conflict.”
Shir Gideon, a spokeswoman for Israel’s ambassador to Berlin, wrote the Post by email: “We have no comment on this issue.”
In April, Romania’s president called on Romania’s pro-Israel prime minister Viorica Dancila to resign because of the government’s approval to relocate the embassy in April. It is unclear if Merkel’s call to Iohannis played a role in his decision to urge Dancila’s ouster.
The US relocated its embassy to Jerusalem in May. Guatemala followed the US lead, and now has its embassy there. Brazil’s newly-elected president Jair Bolsonaro has stated he will move his country’s embassy to Israel’s capital. Similarly, in April Honduras’s National Congress supported a resolution supporting the relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem.
In addition to waging an ostensible campaign to stop the relocation of European embassies to Jerusalem, Merkel rebuffed President Reuven Rivlin’s request last month during her visit to Jerusalem to join US sanctions against Iran’s regime. The US state department considers the Iranian regime to be the top international state-sponsor of terrorism.

Europe keeps thinking that ‘commie lite’
– is the ‘sweet spot’ between socialism and capitalism
– but it’s really just a ‘dose-response’ effect
– where strong communism produces catastrophic failure
– and weak communism causes slower failure
– but they both cause failure
felix: yes
– and Lenin meant that literally
– even the Italian Euro-communists
– made it clear that their goal was ‘gradualism’
– where Europe would eventually be communist
– but European ‘Social Democrats’ [aka Democratic Socialists]
– claim that THEY are after the ‘sweet spot’
Agree. And Finally Vatican Bishop confesses: “Senior Catholic officials are being paid off by George Soros to promote mass Muslim migration into Europe” https://tinyurl.com/y7hllebo

Merkel want to create an european army, and she has brought millions of muslims to be the soldiers… they now just need the guns:
Merkel is akin to Saruman the White building an army of evil, treacherous and vile Orcs (i.e. Muslims) in middle earth (i.e. Europe) on the behest of Sauron (a.k.a Soros…)

The resemblance is remarkable. She even looks like Der Fuhrer. Too young to be his love child though.

Merkel was propaganda Secretary under the East German communists..a Joseph Goebbels of Socialism’s mirror enemy. She is consistently voted as Fuhrer of Germany. Given 20 years, the German people will have managed to destroy themselves once again in conflict. Is it possible that these people have some kind of genetic defect that detaches them from Reality and causes them to hurt each other..”.Vote for Goebbels For Chancellor” is somehow catchy and effective. Perhaps she was good at propaganda and managed to become a Grandmother to the country. As a communist propagandist, I believe that she is as evil as Obama in orchestrating the demise of an entire country..
Now why would this ughlee bwitch do that?? Is she still a Nutzi??
And Israel return those damn German subs. I still can’t believe you bought it from Germans.

Why expect anything else from the lumpen sausage sucker Merkel, she’s just following the script like T May, both as useless at supporting their nations best interests as a chocolate fire guard would be.
IF you want peace, move your embassy to Jerusalem.

The more I muse about it, I realize that Merkel either has Hitler blood in her veins and is a student of the fuhrer! Heil Hitler Merkel!

Romanian intelligence and KGB invented the Pali narrative and pitched it to Arafat..
Merkel must be aware of that of course.
In the meantime everyone stubborn enough to still consider borders a necessity to a functioning republic is being called right-wing (i.e. Nazi in post-modern european newspeak)
She can, with France, close their airspace to TAROM and Blue Air in retaliation, which would cripple both airlines.

Merkel and her government supports are the start of the 4th Reich. The position that they sway in the EU is huge. Just like Hitler and his National Socialist Party wanted to control all the world, so does Merkel and her supporters. Her/their globalist mentality is no different than Hitler’s, they’re just going about it in a different manner.
