“Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is a dangerous gambit”
Recognizing reality is a radical act these days.
To: Eddie01
It’s not a “gambit”.
It’s the RIGHT thing to do.

CNN, the king of fake news.

Any person who believes that Americans do not want another great president is so divorced from reality that I simply cannot take their word for anything.

Having worked at the State Department on Arab-Israeli negotiations for the better part of a quarter century,
I came up with more than my fair share of half-baked ideas I wouldn't know success if it bit me in the ass, stood up, introduced itself and handed me a business card.
But I somehow know that recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital is a dangerous gambit.

You declare Jerusalem the capital, you put the embassy there and you tell the Palis to piss off. They had their chance at peace and chose to go terrorist instead.
Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. Amman belongs to the Palis.

He’s a “distinguished scholar”, so... the bars pretty low.

How long has it been since we have bending over backwards worrying about what Muslims think? Can’t offend the Muslims. Can’t tick off the Muslims. What good has it done? What has it benefitted us? Yeah. Nothing.

This author doesn’t know what a gambit is.

The only third rail in Pali negotiations is the word peace. They don’t want it and have turned down all the good offers.

If he believes a country should not be able to name its own capital, then I doubt he was much use in negotiations.
