EU urges two-state capital in Jerusalem as tensions soar

Europe’s top diplomat on Saturday called for a Palestinian state sharing Jerusalem as its capital with Israel, hours after the police killing of an Arab-Israeli further fanned tensions.

The appeal by the European Union’s Federica Mogherini followed the dawn killing of the man by police in northern Israel, with his family saying he was killed “in cold blood” and a video showing he was shot in the back.

“I think Jerusalem can be and should be the capital of two states,” the new EU foreign policy chief told reporters in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Ramallah. …

Personally, I think that half of Berlin should belong to Russia. I assume Germany would be OK with that ...

Never mind AFP not mentioning that the Arab that was shot dead was wielding a knife.

its too bad the Palis want just one state, a muslim one, and they aren’t willing to share Jerusalem even when Jordan occupied Jerusalem.

And even when the arabs occupied Jerusalem it was never a capital of an arab country!

Just think about this. Israel has to share the territory of Israel with a Palestinian state. One state, Palestine is to dominate. That is the future for the Jews.

That’s why they adopted the false moniker “Palestinian”. The goal is not a “State of Palestine” but a restored Caliphate—or why else did they insist on Arab unity?

Since the Arabs say...”That’s great...now give me more” I think this is a losing strategy.

I pray that Israel stays strong.

Someone should inform Frederica Mogherini Jerusalem is mentioned over 800 times by name in the Hebrew Bible. Its not mentioned once by name in the Koran.

Jerusalem is a Jewish city and Europe has no moral right to tell Israel how to dispose of it.

I agree 100%. This needs to NOT happen. EU is hardly the voice of wisdom.

Heck, half of Mexico ought to belong to us since we end up with so many of their citizens anyway.

Great idea! I would think both coastlines would be fair compensation. :)

Typical EU idiocy.

Here's a better proposal. How about the so-called "Palestinians", who are really just Arab scum deported from their own nations, share the EU's capital?!

Of course, the EU diplomats would wet their panties if that came to pass.

They aren’t really deported; they volunteered to go there to attack the Jews when what they retroactively call the “nakba” (”disaster”, referring to the recognition of the state of Israel by the UN) happened. All about so-called “Arab unity” and Ottoman Empire revanchism, from when the area wasn’t even referred to by that accursed name “Palestine” but as “South Syria”.

Sure, but they’ve got most of the left-wing-minded world brainwashed into thinking that they are a “Palestinian people” now.
