Australia recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel would “increase religious war in the area”, according to the head of the terrorist “Palestinian” delegation in Canberra. Jihad. It’s all they know.
Palestinian Muslims are now calling on Muslim states to target Australian exports over the Jerusalem embassy move.
Australians back the move two to one. That was a key finding in the YouGov survey when respondents were asked the question as whether to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Australians supported recognition by a margin of almost two to one (40 to 21 per cent).

Australia recognizes West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
Foreign Ministry praises move as ‘a step in the right direction’ as Australia recognizes western half of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Israel National News, December 15, 2018:
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Saturday that his country officially recognizes West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
“Australia recognizes West Jerusalem, the seat of the Knesset and many government institutions, as the capital of Israel,” Morrison told reporters at a special conference in Sydney.
However, Morrison stressed that the embassy would not move to West Jerusalem until a peace agreement was reached between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but said that his government would establish an office that would deal with security and trade.
Australia joins the United States and Guatemala in recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The Foreign Ministry praised the Australian Prime Minister’s decision, calling it a “step in the right direction”.
“Israel views the decision of the Australian government to open the Ministry of Economic Affairs in Jerusalem as a step in the right direction,” said a statement released by the Foreign Ministry. “Israel welcomes the Australian government’s position on the sanctions against Iran and its aggressive stance against Israel at the UN and anti-Semitism.”
There were conflicting reports last
week about the possibility of Australia recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
On Tuesday, The Australian reported that the Australian government would formally recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel, but is not planning on relocating its embassy from Tel Aviv in the near future.
Morrison later rejected that report, saying it was too early to discuss such matters and that “when I’m in a position to make that announcement, I will.”
Shortly after he entered office, it was reported that Morrison was weighing the possibility of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, as well as the relocation of the Australian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
He later stressed that he had not yet decided to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and would hold consultations on the matter, while stressing Australia’s commitment to a two-state solution.

Half a step forward.
Today YLE TV station lied when it claimed that Australia moves its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. YLE tv news at 11 a.m., Dec 15, 2018. The TV news presenter was Heta-Leena Sierilä.
Well done, I thought, until another TV station told the truth. Australia won’t move its embassy to West Jerusalem until the city’s status is finalised under a peace settlement. Finnish YLE TV station does not hesitate to cover up or lie if the issue is politically sensitive. YLE TV station is controlled by politicians, although it claims to be “neutral”.

There should be no gamble concerning freedom from Muhammadist tyranny.
Relying on votes in governance is uncredible.

Good thing to cut Australian meat exoorts as would save many animals been tortured to death. Also would bring down meat prices that Australians paying through the nose to sell meat cheaply overseas.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is still bowing to Muslim Indonesia by not building the Embassy at Jerusalem, while refugees are again allowed to enter Australia thanks to doing deals with Labor on encryption laes

Yes, it does. I would rather than not be part of Trump’s legacy.
As we both know lasting peace there is impossible.
Look at Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya and Sudan are behaving.
Russia aligns itself with Syria too. All Muslim countries. Prophecy is shaping up.
Notice how China has a strong military and colonizing countries with predatory lending. They are building up their infrastructure – ports and transportation and then confiscating it when they default and having their own people maintain it. China doesn’t see Hamas as a terrorist organization and always votes against Israel – for a two state solution – rolling back border to pre 1967….. It’s shaping up.

Australia, Brazil and now the USA should form a special alliance all by themselves! A trio of democracy! 🙂

Did you know there are 4 times the population of palestine in London. London 8 million, palestine 2 million. And it is worth noting that, I think it will be unlikely that indonesia will support the ban on exports from Australia, due to the fact that Australia subsidises indonesia. 24 million Australians, 273 million indonesian muslims. So there you have it. Where ever islam raises its ugly head there is unrest and poverty and without oil the arab states would be no different.

World Israel News had a similar article about Australia moving its embassy to WEST Jerusalem. But critics have commented that not just WEST Jerusalem, but ALL Jerusalem belongs to Israel. Would have to agree wholeheartedly.

I agree. I don’t care for the qualifier “West” Jerusalem. East and West Jerusalem are not two separate cities.

But they won’t actually move the Australian embassy “until a peace agreement was reached between Israel and the Palestinian Authority”
Nice job back-pedaling AUS because peace w/muslums is an impossibility (see Hudna treaty).
