Obama Violates Agreement With Israel And Begins Training Palestinian Armed Guards
NTEB News Desk | January 15, 2015
The US Consulate, stationed on the edge of the Jewish neighborhood of Arnona in West Jerusalem, sees itself “as the embassy of the United States of America in Palestine.”
“Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalm 135:21 (KJV)
Last time I checked, Jerusalem was the Eternal Capital city of Israel, or so says the holy bible. So why does the Obama administration refer to it’s consulate there as the “embassy of the United States of America in Palestine.”? And why are they arming Palestinians in violation of a long-standing agreement with Israel to not do that?
The US Consulate in Jerusalem is training a force of 35 Palestinians from East Jerusalem to serve as armed guards, particularly for consular trips to the West Bank’s Area A, which is off-limits to Israelis, the Times Of Israel reported on Wednesday.

The arrangement violates a 2011 agreement between Israel and the consulate, the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth stated, whereby only IDF combat veterans would be authorized to carry arms as consulate guards.
“The consulate was authorized to keep roughly 100 handguns for security staff, on condition that they be either American diplomats or Israeli army veterans,” the paper’s Itamar Eichner wrote.
Additionally, Israeli guards at the consulate alleged that the Palestinians were being trained with firearms in Jericho at a Palestinian Preventative Security base and in the United States.
