Prince Harry’s 25 kills say everything about the West’s airborne assaults on Muslim majority countries

Trump’s Jerusalem motives were hatred of Muslims and a diversion from domestic problems
It was with monumental malevolence that the increasingly unbalanced reality TV personality Donald Trump decided to call a halt to any hopes of an Israel-Palestine peace agreement. The shambolic figure, also known as the President of the United States of America, delighted warmongering extremists by recognising Jerusalem as the capital of the ever-expanding Israel, in spite of indigenous Palestinians...
