Following President Trump’s decision to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, it is now basically all out war on the border between Gaza and Israel. Israel is today celebrating its 70th anniversary as a sovereign/independent nation and in the same time is facing a huge Palestinian uprising. Ivanka and Jared are now in Jerusalem, along with US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, to commemorate the official opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem (prior to that, we only had a consulate in Jerusalem). President Trump announced months ago that he’s going to fulfill his campaign promise, acknowledging Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The thing is that Israel as a sovereign nation has the right to determine its own capital, and this is the reality: not Tel Aviv, but Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state and of the state of Israel.

It’s been US policy since the 90s.

Yes.
And if you don’t like it, suck it up and live with it because no one asked your opinion in the first place.

Who is anyone to suggest where a country should have its’ capital.
If we wanted to move our Capital to Washington DC to New York City, what business is it of any other country.
The fact is, people who oppose Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, don’t really believe that Israel should be a country in the first place.

In 70 A.D the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Israel. Thus began the Diaspora for the Jewish people. For centuries the Jewish people had a saying, "Next year in Jerusalem''. Meaning that someday their homeland and their capitol would be restored. Donald Trump just made it happen. For the Jewish people this is comparable to recreating the world.

These rioters will be gone in a week or two. They will lose interest in continuing to protest.

Reminds me of an aphorism by ABBA Eban. “The Palestinian never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”
