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.

Yes of course we should. How long were we going to allow ourselves to be blackmailed by the Palestinians. They say that this is will be an obstacle to peace? Indeed, what was the obstacle to peace when our embassy was in Tel Aviv?
Yes, next.
Question is pointless.
Yes he did the right thing.
This is not about moving an embassy.
It is about making a firm commitment and a statement to the world.
Israel is here to stay.
Israel has the right to exist within its borders.
Jerusalem is within Israel’s borders.
Further negotiations about these issues are non applicable
It’s time to give up the fiction that there will ever be a two state solution or peace. You can’t live next door to somebody who dresses up their two year old as a suicide bomber for his birthday. You can’t have peace with somebody who publically tells the world he wants you dead. It was time to move on and that move was to Jerusalem.
Let the Palestinians reap what they have sewn. They have had more than enough opportunities for peace and most of what they wanted and have thrown them all away to pursue hatred instead.
This has given a new meaning to the old saw: “You find out who your true friends are when you move.” LOL!
‘A good friend will help you move, but a true friend will help you move a body.’
Has Hillary chimed in yet?
Um, wait. Let me think...
Yup.
It’s Done ,move on
His diaper is Loaded
Any time you don't do something because it might make the mohammedans mad, you have enhanced their power. They now rule over you.
Two presidents before him said they would (even one of whom is Muslim).
It’s past due, therefore, that a president finally did something in this regard.
President Trump made the right decision as the Jerusalem Act of 1995 stated that Jerusalem is the undivided Capital of Israel.
What the Palestinian’s want are as follow:
- Establishment of a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines
- The Palestinian capital would be in East Jerusalem
- Israel withdraw all forces from the West Bank and release Palestinian prisoners
- Israel acknowledge partial responsibility for the refugee problem and offered compensation
- Right to return their homeland in the State of Palestine and to their pre-1948 lands and homes.
The deal is ruinous to Israel and President Trump basically took East Jerusalem off the negotiation table.
Yes, of course. Long overdue.
Obama hates the move so it’s a good thing.
No. USA should have put the embassy in Israel’s capital Jerusalem in 1948, just like USA puts ALL of our embassies in the host countries’ capitals.
It has been a terrible blight on American honor to make an exception of just Israel among the nearly 300 nations on Rock3.
a terrible blight.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP for finally cleaning up our act.
Now please DO Drain the Swamp (especially the Nazis in the Snake Department, Lord knows how much trouble those basturds have caused our country!)
Winning.
On to DC!!!!
Yes.
