One of the attributes of sovereignty is the ability to put your capital wherever you damn well please within your own territory. So by dictating to Israel where to put it, the Palestinian despots are indeed attacking its sovereignty, and we are indeed appeasing their war aims by going along with that nonsense.
The purpose of this Resolution was to guarantee that Israel would get defendable borders and peace and the right to exist.
Yeah, "peace" by giving up a part of its territory in an attempt to appease despots. Seems to me that's been tried before somewhere...
Texasflower, you are hardly Chamberlain...and inquest knows it...
No, the parallels are quite striking. Chamberlain likewise believed that it wasn't the right time to be charging directly into trouble over such a marginal issue. In fact, if anything, Chamberlain wasn't being as foolish as Bush. At least Chamberlain understood that opposing Hitler would have involved military force. What would it have involved from us to respect Israel's choice of capital city? Some construction machinery? That's about it.
inquest...when you have more understanding of the situation than your posts to me have evidenced... then maybe we can have a discussion...right now we can't, because you are wrong on many different levels.
