In the West bank, American diplomats have been attacked by Israeli settlers.

Let me guess.The consulate will be upgraded and renamed 'The USA Embassy to the State of Palestine'. Don't put anything past this Israel-hating Obama administration. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

No, we will not tolerate arming "palestinians" on Israeli soil -- and yes, that includes Judea and Samaria. The U.S. will have to make do with Israeli guards. Much more trustworthy, in any event.

... and declare him persona non grata. Highly doubtful that the U.S. will close the Consulate, but even if they did -- so what? The Consulate, and consular officials, cannot flout Israeli law. Cronin was clearly appointed for a political purpose. More Obama dirty tricks.

... to leave the country. He's nothing but a shill for Obama, and Obama no longer matters.

"The United States' consulate has complete faith in the professionalism of its staff" Yes, but since the consulate is in Jerusalem, the United States' "faith" in its "palestinian" security personnel is entirely irrelevant. What is relevant is that some of these security personnel have real and unmistakable ties to terror groups. Cronin is clearly unsuitable for his position. Israel should simply give him twenty-four hours to leave the country. Obama will have to make another appointment -- which he can only do with the advise and consent of the United States Senate. There's a very different Senate now than the one that approved the appointment of Cronin.

Now that their plan has been exposed in the press. I'm sure there must be panic in the consulate. Cronin will be quietly removed & the plan cancelled.

has complete faith in the professionalism of its staff", and when one of their staff goes on a shooting rampage with his newly acquired firemans, courtesy of American faith in its professional staff, no world leader, especially not president Oblabla, will march in protest when Israeli lives are lost.

Cronin who? Somebody pull a FOIA request & find out who this clown is. Thought the Americans would have had enough of Arab "security" after Benghazi.

You may want to trade PNGs, but that can get out of hand.

Care to document your wild accusations?

It is crystal clear that Cronin is a Pal terror supporting punk & has to be declared "persona non-grata" and removed immediately together with his deadly punk entourage!

responses....must have touched a nerve eh Sally? Simply put we will hire and fire who we want not who Israel wants.

yes, pls return the poison back to mr Sotero. Dan Cronin is not conducting himself by employing foreign fighters on Israel soil...return the package..

No longer does State even attempt to suppress its overt hatred of Israel and Bibi. Watch for US false flag attacks on their own staff, in order to further blame Israel.

That's right Cronin, keep those spies out of our consulate. who cares what the Israelis think, I don't.

the obama regime's entire foreign policy is based on supporting islam at the expense of american and allied interests. the fact that employing arab palestinian guards at the us consulate in jerusalem violates written agreements with israel is typical of this administration's disregard for laws in general.

Leave it to obama and he'll accept an armed ISIS 'honor guard' at the White House.

obama doesn't seem to know where his borders or boundie's are located, or where his power begins or ends hint, they don't Include "The Homeland For The Jewish People" and that is... Israel. He's about to find out. obama can't attend the unity march in Paris ( showing himself as being perceived as pro terror by the lack of his presence the ONLY "No Show" of all the worlds leaders.) and now, again, obama tries forcing Israel into a public fight only he refuses to call Islamic terror by name and only obama is on a campaign to try and dictate to Israel breaking Israeli laws while he tries forcing Israel into another ridiculous situation caused by this miserable obama and again agreeing to act as the pals stooge with his pants around his ankles. I believe obama is mentally unsound. BUILD MORE!!!!!! ( Makes this meglo maniac even angrier and do more stupid stuff.)

furnish coffins for the dead armed palestinians they illegally armed in Israel? obama's gone off the rails..... No hope for the dope. BUILD MORE !!!!

and ongoing. Count on God, oh Israel, and not humans or money.

as is your post.

And Americans have been killed by Hezbollah, Hamas, etc...all of them arabs. Your 'brilliance and logic' shine through.

The US Consul should be recalled by Washington and reassigned, perhaps to Saudi Arabia or Argentina.
