International Bodies Fail to Understand the Middle East Crisis

One sentence summarizes the Zionist expansion from an incursion to ultimate takeover of Palestinian lands – the Zionists act aggressively and the world bodies re-react passively.

Israeli Minister Wants To Name Western Wall Station After Trump

If Jerusalem’s soon-to-open high-speed rail line was extended to the Western Wall, what would the station be called? Why not name it after US President Donald Trump?
That’s the proposal Israel’s transport minister recently pushed forward, according to an Associated Press report.
