“Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is a dangerous gambit”

Recognizing reality is a radical act these days.

[Artemis Webb]

It’s not a “gambit”.
It’s the RIGHT thing to do.

CNN sucketh.

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.

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.

CNN, tell that to God.

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.

Aaron,

Peace ain’t a process.

Idiot.

Jerusalem was always the capital of Israel, and that’s the only reason Muslims ever had any interest in it.

Modern Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Muslims are allowed to be residents, citizens, voters.

The so-called Palestinian state is governed by a recognized terrorist organization that the “Palestinians” voted into office.

In a civilized world, all Palestinian children would be removed from the homes of their parents to be raised in a more healthy environment, away from terrorist indoctrination.

Not Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital is a dangerous gambit.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Author advised previous Secs of State not to do it because they knew their president did not have the ‘nads to do it. This one is bad ass like a boss and it’s the right thing to do.

Having worked at the State Department on Arab-Israeli negotiations for the better part of a quarter century...

And right there you have the reason why there is no peace in the Mid-East (besides the Arabs)....
