Kerry is such a jerk. He should move to Palestine himself.

Just a quick review...
Jerusalem is mentioned in the Old and New Testaments about 950 times. Jerusalem is mentioned in the Qur’an ONCE (al Quds).
People must not read their Bible.

Jewish people trend heavily toward socialism and French people trend equally heavy toward idiotism.
Except that French Jews have generally supported the UMP/Republicans over the Socialists and an increasing number are supporting the
National Front

The Socialist Government of France was elected by a margin of the Muslim vote. At the victory rallies there were Palestinian flags. All else follows accordingly.

So in your world, there was no division of Palestine in 1920,1922, and 1923, Transjordan was created as a Jew-Free Arab Nation, and the Golan Heights were given to French Syria?

How can Jerusalem be the capital of Israel, and how can the U.S. recognize it as such, if both countries are signatories to the Israel/Palestinian agreements in the 1990s in which it was agreed that the legal status of Jerusalem was subject to future negotiations between the two sides?
Because The agreement was about East Jerusalem, whereas the new city of West Jerusalem is in land that Israel held in 1948

I believe your statement is factually incorrect, but I’d be interested to see if you have any evidence to support it. As far as I know, the official U.S. diplomatic position on Jerusalem is that its formal status hasn’t changed since the 1947 U.N. plan for the partition of Palestine, subject to ongoing and future negotiations among the parties.

I’m not denying any of that. I’m simply using that as the baseline for this discussion because it was the most recent scenario where one “owner” (Great Britain) formally ceded control of the area to one or more others.

I don't deny that the
Aramco-owned State Department has this position. It doesn't change the fact that West Jerusalem has been Israeli since 1948 or that the Arabs killed the 1947 deal.

Oh, OK.
Is there really any difference between an Aramco-owned State Department and an AIPAC-owned Congress?

AIPAC is owned by the Democrat Party and spent the last 6 months rewarding the Democrats who voted for the Iran deal

France tells us not to move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Well I guess that settles it then.
