Visiting Indonesian President Joko Widodo came down hard on Israeli policy on Monday, 27 Adar-I, explaining to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that the patience of the international community pertaining to the “continuing occupation in the occupied territories” as long run out. The visiting dignitary calls on Israel “to stop all illegal activities in the territories at once”.
President Widodo spoke out harshly, threatening “Indonesia and the Islamic world are ready to take concrete steps to push Israel to end its colonization of Palestine and its arbitrary actions in al-Quds al-Sharif,” preferring to use the Arabic name for Yerushalayim.

I agree wholeheartedly with president Joko Widodo from Indonesia. Yes, Bibi should come down harshly on the continuing occupation of the arabs in the Israeli territories. The Arabs ” should stop all illegal activities In the Israeli territories at once.” The Arabs are busy building homes and taking over Israeli land illegally. It must be stopped immediately.
Joko Widodo? You’re kidding me. Is that his real name or is Yeshiva World starting their Pirim jokes?
What about the terror tunnels?
Netanyahu should have sent him out the back door packing.
He’s a Muslim. I don’t understand why you expect different.
It’s an extraordinary breach of protocol for a visiting dignitary to be so critical of a host government, which suggests that President Widodo is personally fearful of Islamic elements back home.
Why isn’t the Jewish world doing more to combat this global threat?
Some British universities (eg Manchester) are no-go areas for Jewish students because of anti-Israel (AKA anti-Semitic) aggression.
BTW.
The picture that you have here is of the Brachfeld neighborhood in Modiin Ilit witch is Privet owned land, so…there is no legal problem with it.
This is where Obama lived and learned his positions on Israel.
