#1 We have seen a number of stories lately about minor countries (no offense!) recognizing Israel or moving their embassy to Jerusalem, along with a number of stories on jihadi plots that were thwarted thanks to shared Israeli intel.

Makes me wonder if there is some connection or whether said govts are simply acting like grown-ups for a change.

#2 I’ve been posting them to document how the atmosphere has changed since President Trump formally moved the American embassy to Jerusalem, SteveS. You’re right that most of the countries moving into Jerusalem are not big players — we’ll see what Britain does now that JoBo won his election, but I have no expectations despite his anti-BDS announcement — and no doubt some portion of those moving expect some sort of reward from our president, and from Israel, for openly following his lead on this. But the reported beneficiaries of Israeli jihad intelligence, like France, Germany, and Denmark, generally seem perfectly content to keep quiet the fact that they owe the juices a debt of gratitude, just as they keep quiet the fact that their industries have been picking up Israeli tech firms.

I appreciate the posts, tw. The important bit, IMAO, is that they feel safe doing it now.

Moar Fracking! Less Sillyness!
