B"H
Hi, y''all,
This time it is ET who sent me a pearl: see below the missive sent by the US Embassy in Tel Aviv to US citizens. Thanks, ET!
I'll highlight the important sentences ( might be missing a few; it is worth it to read the whole thing).
First of all, this warning supersedes an earlier warning. I haven't checked that one, but I would think that the restrictions are even greater.
Notice the evil, hypocritical STATE DEPARTMENT, which on one hand does everything in its power to make life untenable for Jews in Yesha and Jerusalem, and which, at the same time, warns ITS PERSONNEL TO STAY AWAY.
You'll notice that the only roads permitted to Americans are Route 90 and Route 443 during the daytime.
Route 60, where most of the terror by the PA originates, thanks to the USA, is off limits to their own dear ones.
And of course, warnings in Jerusalem. Doing everything they can to destroy Jerusalem as we know it, while warning their own of terror here.
Such hypocrisy, such evil!
By the way, I saw something very unusual today, and I thought I'd report it:
Driving by Bethlehem on Route 60 , I saw TWO EMPTY UN BUSES GOING INTO BETHLEHEM. And one more, unmarked, white bus, looking like a UN bus, but without the emblem, also driving in that general direction. PLUS another UN vehicle. I drive a lot in that area, and don't remember seeing a UN convoy of EMPTY BUSES going into the PA.
WHAT COULD BE GOING ON?
Preparing for imminent war: is that why the warnings are getting more strident?
And what about this UN movement??
At the same time there were also a huge amount of checkpoints along the way today ( but I would think that this was due to the kidnapping of a Jewish truck driver by PA car thieves earlier today)
FEEDBACK, please.
