According to Nikki Haley, the moving of the embassy was not to blame for the violence.

[spanone]

how fucking tone deaf is this administration?

she blamed Iran and called the protesters terrorists.

we may never recover from this maladministration.

[Guilded Lilly]

1. According to sane people everywhere Nikki Haley is full of BS. n/t

[Sneederbunk]

2. This certainy is comforting.

[Freethinker65]

3. It got exactly the reaction that the U.S. and Israeli leaders intended.

They are very pleased with the results of inflaming tension in the region.

[Runningdawg]

9. Exactly!

[sinkingfeeling]

4. If Iran or Hamas was behind the slaughter, then why did the US block

an investigation? You are not believeable.

[arthritisR_US]

5. She is now officially down the road of losing any

credibility she had previously garnered.

[Phoenix61]

6. She is sort of correct

Massive protests were planned for today, May 15th, or Nakba, "Day of the Catastrophe." It is the day after Israel Indepence Day, however, that date is based on the Hebrew calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar. These two days falling this way, right next to each other, happens once every 19 years. So, that the administration picked yesterday for the official opening of the embassy, of all days, was just pouring fuel on the fire. IMHO, it was done deliberately to get the response they got. Their evil knows no limits.

17. it HAD to be done intentionally.

[Johonny]

7. No, but the total lack of a US response to the violence will ensure more will die in future

The move was part of a pattern of denial by the US to the situation.

[maxsolomon]

8. What would any other Administration have done?

AIPAC has both parties in its pocket, even if the Dems get no credit for their obeisance.

A Clinton Admin. wouldn't have moved the Embassy, but they'd have blamed both sides for the violence.

[jmowreader]

14. Any other administration wouldn't have moved the embassy

Jerusalem should have remained neutral territory, due to its importance in all abrahamic religions. The embassy’s presence turns it into a “Jewish City.”

[malaise]

10. Of course not

I heard someone of TV say that watching the split screen reminded him of British colonialism in India - one set sipping tea while Indians were being killed in the streets

[spanone]

18. while jared is calling the protesters 'part of the problem'...riddle me this-why was jared there?

and why did he speak?

[malaise]

19. Why was he there and why was his wife there

This is a kakistocracy on steroids.
Nepotism to enrich the family on steroids -it's beyond vulgar.

[RandomAccess]

11. They're not tone deaf

they're fascists.

They aim to muscle their own narrative onto the events.

[sandensea]

12. They're nothing if not shameless.

Which is why Bibee loves them so much.

[Skidmore]

13. Isn't she an evangelical?

Right in their Revelations playbook. Scripting Armageddon or the death cult.

[IronLionZion]

15. Does this administration have an Israel/Palestine policy posted somewhere?

Because it sounds like this was done like they do everything else, no planning or analysis of consequences.

[oasis]

16. Tricky Nikki has her eyes on a 2024 WH run. Palestinians won't be voting

then, whether they be alive, or dead.
