1)

The List includes most EU leaders, King Abdullah of Jordan, and a number of American politicians in the Democratic Party.

“Dire consequences”. Where have we heard that before? 2)

President Trump promised to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. 3)

Worldwide, a chorus of “dire consequences” came out, from the European Union, European leaders such as Macron & Merkel, American politicians such as Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Senators Feinstein & Schumer, Harris & Sanders. 4)

All warning, the “sky is falling” if Trump dares change the status quo. But he changed it. And no “dire consequences” 5)

In 1973, October, Israel was told by the US State Department & by the Foreign Ministries in most European states, not to react to the massing of Egyptian & Syrian Troops on its borders. 6)

Israel was told that there would be “dire consequences” if Israel overreacted and a war started. Well, Golda Meir hesitated, and on Yom Kippur, there were dire consequences for listing to all the foreign advice. 7)

In June 1967, Arab troops were massing on all of Israel’s borders. Trade routes were closed by Arab blockades, Arab leaders were promising massacres of all the Jews. 8)

The UN Security Council told Israel to wait. There would be “dire consequences if Israel would react to the implicit threat from its neighbors. British PM Harold Wilson & French President Charles DeGaulle & US Sec of State Dean Rusk all warned Israel of “dire consequences”. 9)

Should Israel not be patient and wait for the International Community. Fortunately, Israel did not wait.

It’s always “dire consequences”. “Dire Consequences if Israel does not agree to Oslo. 10)

"Dire consequences” if Israel allows Jews to resettle Jewish property in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria.

And now, “dire consequences” if Israel extends Israeli law to areas where Jews live on land that legally, under International Law, is Jewish land. 11)

But one correction. It is NOT “ANNEXATION”. One cannot annex something that one already owns as a matter of law." 12)
