Hard-right Israeli Politician: Trump Is Messiah

Another day, another WTF moment...

Arye Deri
According to The Jerusalem Post, Arye Deri—Israel's Shas Chairman and Interior Minister—was quoted as saying, “If such a miracle like this can happen we have already reached the days of the Messiah, therefore we are really in the era of the birth pangs of the Messiah."

The "miracle" Deri was referring to was the election of Trump, a simian primate who will not stand in the way of Israel's continual annexation of Palestine. Although a direct violation of international law and the Geneva Convention, Israel's hardline conservative government has spent the last 40 years building Jewish-only settlements on Palestinian land.

The illegal occupation and annexation of Palestine continues to sharply divide Israel; roughly half of Israelis are pro-annexation while half believe it is past time for Israel to comply with the 1967 agreement and withdraw. In the pro-annexation camp, most supporters do not believe Palestinians should be given equal rights as citizens, which would usher in a US sanctioned apartheid—if not the outright genocide of Palestinians—in a one-nation Israel.
