The Palestinian president on Sunday warned that American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital would jeopardize the White House’s nascent Mideast peace efforts.

President Mahmoud Abbas’ comments came amid a diplomatic push by the Palestinian leader to rally international support against the possible American move later this week. […]

American officials say that President Donald Trump may recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital this week as a way to offset his likely decision to delay his campaign promise of moving the U.S. Embassy there.

Israel regards Jerusalem as its capital, with most government functions, including the prime minister’s office, Supreme Court and parliament, located in the holy city.

But the international community says the city’s status should be determined through peace talks. The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem, captured by Israel in 1967, as their capital. …

Peace talks?

We’ve been giving into that sham ever since Jimmy Cartah engineered it. We’ve given away tons of money and tons of praise to the “Palestinians,” and they’ve never given back a single thing in return.

They tell us that there will be no concessions after decades of total refusal to make any concessions whatsoever. Do they think we’re that stupid?

If the United States decides to move the embassy to Jerusalem, just like that, there is every chance Abbas and Company will attempt some terrorist response. They might try some kind of suicide bombing or sending a rocket from Gaza City toward some Israeli target.

“They might try...sending a rocket from Gaza City toward some Israeli target.”

In Israel a “homewrecker” is not necessarily a cute Jewish chick, if you get my drift.

Blah blah blah blah...

I’ve got a great idea. Erase anything Muslim from Jerusalem.

If the Muslims can erase Joseph’s tomb and other Jewish historical sites, why can’t the Israelis reciprocate?

Jerusalem has been an Israeli site for thousands of years.

There’s no question about it’s relevance, importance, and legitimate ownership for Israel.

Muslims, go pound sand...

Other than killing what power do they have?

They are cold blooded killers. They use the deaths of innocents as a bargaining chip. Give us what we want our we will kill your family.

I say cold blooded because they have to measure the level of violence against the expected response.

Those ordering the attacks are cowards. They send young men to die while they live off the tributes paid by the west.

“there is every chance Abbas and Company will attempt some terrorist response. They might try some kind of suicide bombing or sending a rocket from Gaza City toward some Israeli target.“

Then President Trump can cut off every nickel of aid and declare them to be a terrorist organization. Maybe that’s the plan.
