Paraguay pisses Israel off

Paraguay, apparently, figured that French kissing the U.S. decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was a bit too stifling, whatever the cost.
Paraguay has reversed a decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem after just three months, prompting anger from Israel which responded by shuttering its embassy in Asunción and recalling its ambassador....
Diplomats had warned that the December announcement could see a return to violence in the region. On the day Washington’s embassy was opened in Jerusalem – attended by Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner – Israeli forces shot and killed 58 Palestinians protesting against the event.

  1. I imagine Paraguayans can relate to the poverty of the Palestinians.
