Marines beef-up security at embassies
Stars & Stripes reports that the US Marine Corps is strengthening presence of embassy guards at “several U.S. embassies” in reaction to President Trump’s decision to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
The controversial move Monday of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem sparked bloody clashes between Palestinian protestors and Israeli forces along Gaza’s border. Israelis and Palestinians both claim Jerusalem as their capital. The Associated Press reported more than 50 Palestinians were fatally shot by Israeli soldiers and some 2,400 others were wounded in the exchanges, which included firebombs lobbed at Israeli troops by protestors.
Rebarich said the Pentagon could not say how many Marines were deployed or to which embassies, citing security concerns. The Marines were deployed from the Marine Security Guard Augmentation Unit from Quantico, Va., a unit designed specifically to respond to such security threats worldwide at the State Department’s request, a Marine official said.
NBC News reported the additional Marines were sent to embassies in Israel, Jordan and Turkey, citing five unnamed defense officials. They reported only modest increases of more than 10 but less than several dozen Marines at each location, according to three of the unnamed officials.
I hope Hillary is taking notes.

Hopefully they will be allowed to actually defend the embassies and are given overwhelming firepower to do so.
Don’t tell ’em shit. Semper Fi!
Just tell the demonic muslim scum “Bye”!!
Here comes the Fake Ass SEAL Team! 🤣
Controversial my left one. This has been promised by the last four administrations, and only Trump had the stones to actually do it. The EU has shown beyond all doubt to be anti-Israel, Dems at home head’s are exploding, and the Palestinians are reacting in their normal reasoned and rational manner (thought I wasn’t looking, weren’t you).
This act will force the world’s hand in actually facing a real Middle East peace process, all because of Trump.
I always thought the location of the capital was decided by the country in question and that’s where other nations put their embassy but what do I know.
As I understand it, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capitol for some 3000 years, but other countries didn’t recognize that for political reasons, and set up shop in Tel Aviv to placate angry Muslims.
Trump, on the 70th anniversary of the Israel State, broke with the past and moved our embassy to Jerusalem, where if belongs.
It doesn’t matter what Israel wants to do, he rest of the world except the US thinks its wrong! you know, just like dumocraps think everything the republicans do is wrong!
Memo to people who throw bombs, rocks and other shit at IDF soldiers, NEVER AGAIN!! You would do better to eat shit and die then keep poking the sleeping bear. And the liberal media makes it like a bad thing for people trying to burn down fields and kill soldiers to get shot after about a skillion warnings.
NEVER AGAIN!!
Do they need someone to hand out donuts and coffee over there?
The Palestinians were really celebrating the move to Jerusalem, the only way they know how. Last I heard 50 dead and 1200+ wounded.
That is too bad. All my sympathies will be posted below:
“Rebarich said the Pentagon could not say how many Marines were deployed or to which embassies, citing security concerns.”
…AND THEN…
“NBC News reported the additional Marines were sent to embassies in Israel, Jordan and Turkey, citing five unnamed defense officials. They reported only modest increases of more than 10 but less than several dozen Marines at each location, according to three of the unnamed officials.”
Find out who these SOBs are that are talking to NBC and shit can them. Man, I hate these “official sources.” It’s not their asses in harm’s way.
If the bad guys don’t know, it might give them pause. Might. On the other hand, when out own people, for the sake of being ‘special’ disclose where and how many, they are putting people at risk. Which one do you attack, the one with minimal or normal security or the one with beefed-up security. Or how about learning that a few more Marines is all that were added at specific embassies. Root these SOBs out!
Yep, what A/C said. Nothing angers me so completely as having serious security issues broadcast like this.
Slimy, clueless traitors.
Someone busted OPSEC, and they need to end up at Club Bradley Manning.
you got that right! hamstring the communist a.h.’s!!
Not like it has happened suddenly.
The 104th Congress adopted the Jerusalem Embassy Act in 1995 making it public law…….US Senate 93-5 and House 374-37.
W and Obama were too timid to implement.
Yeah, but Trump is a Nazi. I saw a meme on Facebook with a photo of Adolph Hitler raising his hand, and next to it was a photo of Donald Trump raising his hand in the same manner, ergo Donald Trump is a Nazi. Adolph Hitler also was a vegetarian, so if you don’t eat meat, you are anti-Semitic.
Don’t forget Billy Jeff, King of the Nasty Cigar. He failed to comply with that law, as well.
I say FUCK the paleoswinians, they should have learned long ago that the Israelis never have been and never will be hesitant to kick barge loads of ass and take names any time someone is stupid enough to mess with them. Second, we now have Adults at the helm of the Executive Branch who give a damn about doing what’s right and NOT pussyfooting around politics. I love hearing liberal moonbat heads explode, it sounds like Victory!
If this all was about a “two-state solution”, the Arab power move would have been:
Insist the US also place an embassy to Palestine in East Jerusalem.
Then add
“… if you really -meant- two state…”
But that only works if they also want two-state. But apparently they actually want a living Arab state and a dead Israeli state “Final solution”.
So, riots.
Likely a good idea to beef up embassy security. The PaliNazis are determined to kill more Israelis, Jews, and anyone who supports them, as they attempt to sow more mayhem in commemoration of their “nakba,” the “catastrophe” of the creation of Israel in 1948.
