“Palestinian” Authority outraged at U.S. decision to merge Palestinian mission into new Jerusalem embassy

When aren’t they outraged? Terrorist entities should be given no quarter, no sanction, no seat at the table of human discourse, let alone a “mission.”

The Palestinian Authority denounced the U.S. decision to fold the duties of its separate consulate in Jerusalem, which serves Palestinians, into the new U.S. Embassy.

The United States Consulate General in Jerusalem, which serves Palestinians, will be absorbed into the new U.S. Embassy to Israel in March, a U.S. official said on Tuesday, giving a date for a merger that has been condemned by Palestinians, according to the Reuters news agency.

The decision to create a single diplomatic mission was announced last October by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who did not say at the time when this would take place.

“The merger of the consulate and the Embassy will take place on March 4th or 5th, at which point the position of the consul-general will end,” according to a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to Reuters because the date has not yet been announced by the American administration.

At the time of Pompeo’s announcement, senior Palestinian Authority (PA) official Saeb Erekat denounced the decision to eliminate the consulate as the latest evidence that the Trump administration is working with Israel to impose a “Greater Israel” rather than a two-state solution.

Asked on Tuesday by Reuters about the merger, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for PA President Mahmoud Abbas, said that nothing had changed from their point of view.

“Contacts at the political level with the American administration have been cut off and will remain so unless the American administration changes its positions on Jerusalem and the [Palestinian] refugees,” said Abu Rudeineh.

However, he said, there were still “contacts at the security level to fight terrorism.”

Trump has said that despite his recognition of Jerusalem and transfer of the Embassy from Tel Aviv last year, Jerusalem’s final borders should be decided by the sides to the dispute.

When aren’t they outraged

Pamela, that is very unfair.

They are often not outraged. A young woman out for a private walk is brutally raped and murdered- nah, no real outrage. Thirteen year old girl murdered sleeping in the middle of the night- give the guy a hero’s welcome. Babies murdered- just fine.

See- plenty of examples of lack of outrage on the part of “Palestinians”.

“2 state solution”? sure, whenever the m000slims give back all the christian lands they have destroyed in the last 1400 years, then we’ll talk. any of you ever noticed that nearly every city mentioned in the new testament, which were beacons of western civilization filled with romans and greeks and jeeeews and christians, are now hovels occupied by m000slims?

The genocidal Fakestinians are perpetually outraged, not to mention congenitally retarded and psychotic.

Mahmood Abbasshole, now in the 15th year of a four-year term, is an unrepentant anti-Semite, terrorist and mass murdering terrorist puke (he was the money man behind the 1972 Munich Massacre). Here’s hoping a debilitating and excruciatingly painful cancer cures him of his numerous pathologies, just as AIDS did with the Egyptian pedophile Arafat.

Why do they need an American consulate if they are boycotting meetings with Americans?

They don’t want a two state solution either. Who do they think they’re fooling any more?
