(17,028 posts)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.

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