Delusional.
Don’t listen to this man. Dividing Jerusalem will merely whet the Islamic appetite for conquest. Any Jewish presence in Jerusalem goes against the Koran.
How can you give half of something to some group that never owned it in the first place?

A plan is being explored as we speak, at the direction of Bibi, to unilaterly turn over control of the Arab portions of Jerusalem to the palestinian authority. Israel sheds Jerusalem's Arab population, no longer has to support them, and the palestinians have their part of Jerusalem. For a capital or whatever. Needless to say it's not what they want. But perhaps not a bad idea. And no, our President did not recognize particular borders when recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Like the Russians did eight months ago when they recognized "West" Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The Forward is a leftwing rag.
Is it surprising the same ideology has produced individuals who, with a straight face, object to acknowledging the reality that when the persons, offices and functions of a government are located in a certain city, then that city must be its capital city?
I recently watched a few videos (Christian) that indicate a verse in the (Hebrew & Christian) bible declares God will punish those who divide Israel.
Rather than post a video, I quickly searched up a link that illustrates this point. Here’s a quote and I’ll put the link below:
“The Bible is crystal clear: the Lord Almighty will judge all nations who divide the Land of Israel.
In Joel 3:2, the Lord says: “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land.” (3:2)”
So I’m surprised there aren’t more in Israel who feel strongly about this.
Hell, no! Where would we house the refugees of East Jerusalem, just for starters...
“Let” the Muslims go swimming in the sea first.
Jerusalem shall NEVER be divided.
The Palis never concede to such offers.
Correct. They want the whole enchilada.
Ok. So Jerusalem should be divided because Arab/Islamic world will riot, commit Jihad, and generally be pissy otherwise? Islamic countries around the world have undivided cities. But Israel can’t have one undivided city because Muslims, EUros, and other assorted lackeys think it’s a premise for peace. It’s not and will never be for obvious reasons (they want the Jews dead or out).
Jerusalem has been the capital of the Israelis since before David. I have no idea how people can dispute this.
Let’s recall that Islam started around 500 ad. That’s well over 1,500 to 2,000 years too late for the Arabs to claim they own Jerusalem.
As for any other claims, what gods have the Palestinians that they had in the days of Israel?
Jerusalem belongs to Israel.
The division of Berlin was such a success why not repeat it.
Israel should most definitely allow tons of arab muslims to live in Jerusalem. It only makes sense. Let them live there in peace.
In doing so, they should mimic the arab model for jews living peacefully in Riyadh, Damascus, Tripoli, Doha, Beirut, and on and on...
Right where they are, no refugees. My understanding is that the concept is to relocate the wall, leaving 400,000 or so Arabs on the other side. Mostly in East Jerusalem but a few other Arab communities. Israel would retain overall security responsibility, but everything else would be the PA’s responsibility. A unilateral separation. Personally I think it makes some sense. Israeli citizens obviously could relocate to Israel. Seems to me it would require dropping the offer of citizenship to East Jerusalem Arabs who haven’t requested it. Fifty years is enough time to make up ones mind. I believe MK Anat Berko is in charge of developing the plan. Which may go nowhere, but seems like it’s worth considering. Palaestinians aren’t going to agree to anything, so imo any action the next few decades has to be unilateral. The other option, annex it all and deal with a couple million new Arab citizens.
No, they won't. Which is why Israel can only act unilaterally.
