Should President Trump Have Moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?
IWB ^ | Chris Black

Following President Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, it is now basically all out war on the border between Gaza and Israel. Israel is today celebrating its 70th anniversary as a sovereign/independent nation and in the same time is facing a huge Palestinian uprising. Ivanka and Jared are now in Jerusalem, along with US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, to commemorate the official opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem (prior to that, we only had a consulate in Jerusalem). President Trump announced months ago that he’s going to fulfill his campaign promise, acknowledging Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The thing is that Israel as a sovereign nation has the right to determine its own capital, and this is the reality: not Tel Aviv, but Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state and of the state of Israel.

Even if the Palestinians were handed all of that today - it would not stop the war
Hamas wants all jews dead, teaches children that jewish eradication is the only solution to world peace
First there
Then everywhere else

Yes I agree. Hamas will never recognize Israel’s right to exist, because eradicating the Israel state is their goal.

There’s a U.S. law that allows the U.S. to move its embassy to Jerusalem. Previous presidents have been too gutless to implement the law.

There may be a few decent individual Palis, but the vast majority do not want to give up the Jew hatred card. They have been offered concession after concession. Israel and brokers going out of their way for things to be in their favour. They turn their nose up each time. Unfortunately, it will always be so. The powers that be that profit from it in several ways will not allow it to be any other way. It’s a business and a way of life.

Bingo!

During both of the World Wars there were millions of displaced people but eventually they assimilated into their new homes and became productive human beings.

The Palestinians who claim to have been “displaced” 70 years ago have never been able to do anything but whine, complain and kill. 70 years from now they will still be complaining and blaming the Israelis. It has now become their choice to remain “victims.”

Yes. There are no reasons left why we should care what the Palestinians or their sympathizers want.

Israel could change their bus schedules and the Palestinians would use that as an excuse to riot.

If it's good enough for God, it's good enough for me. Where do they think Jerusalem get its name?
