Looks like it's kicking off in Gaza. 16 killed in clashes with IDF so far. If only peace was achievable in the holy land.

The usual suspects who generally CONDEMN all actions of the UN (and indeed, its very existence) are, at least on this one issue of the estabishment of Israel, all in support of UN "decisions."
Let's be truthful at least: the foundation of the State of Israel in 1948 was a terrorist act promoted by the US and the UK that has resulted in a decades-long occupation of Palestine.
By following through on the contentious 1995 act of Congress, President Trump has made it more than clear whose side the USA is on in the conflct which of course, has been crystal clear to the world since 1948 ... the side of the rogue terrorist State of Israel.

Israel was founded on terrorism, so a bit hypocritical i think.
the bombing of the King David Hotel by the Irgun acting under the umbrella of the overall Zionist force, the Haganah. The attack killed 92 people, most of them civilians, some 17 of whom were Jewish

That is a perpetually stupid argument. Those unwilling to tackle the issue in terms of today and for future generations are nothing but an obstacle to peace and progress.
Thinking like yours is exactly what creates the blockage to real and lasting peace in the region.
I am quite certain that years of highlighting the wrongs of past generations and different people from both sides will get us nowhere fast.
I hope the people tasked with the challenges ahead ignore those that would seek to undermine peace by replaying all the deeds of the past.
No sane human can look at this situation and come down on the side of the PLO (oh. Sorry! The Palestinian Authority!)
Not if they are intellectually honest.
If Muslim extremists want to riot and try to plant bombs, let them be shot dead. It's what any terrorist deserves

And yet you make your comments a one sided one.

Where is your condemnation of the terror on the Israeli side? You do realise that children where killed today?

Do you know, during " The Troubles " in Northern Ireland, this is what Republicans did.
However, The Royal Ulster Constabulary used Plastic Bullets instead of Live Rounds.
You would rather see men, women and children shot dead.

I would rather see terrorists shot dead, no doubt.
I am also sickened that any parent would take their children to these riots today. No responsible parent would do any such thing. There was never any doubt that violence would ensue. The death of any child is horrendous and the blame for today lies squarely on the shoulders of those that turned up to protest a damn embassy location and decided it would be a good idea to take their kids.
