The Czech Republic on Wednesday followed US President Donald Trump’s lead.

In so doing, it took an unusual step of breaking with EU member states who hold Jerusalem should not recognized as Israel’s capital until a final status agreement is reached.

But unlike the US, the Czech Foreign Ministry also said that it would only consider relocating its embassy based on results of negotiations.

Thank you dowcaet. I appreciate it.

Before responding to you, I read my comments again.

One thing I left out, that is demonstrable of the difference between the two entities, is that Israel provides utilities to the Arabs in those areas.

Israel tries to be very even-handed with them. Once in a while it withholds certain funds or supplies for cause, but in general it helps the people in those areas.

It's a decent nation, Israel is. If it truly treated the Arabs as they try to treat Israel, it would by crystal clear.

It just isn't the same.

Hungary , too.

Interesting, isn’t it... all the former Communist-occupied Eat-bloc countries are on our side, and our so-called allies in the west are going musloid/socialist/liberal/complete asshole (redundancy alert).

Interesting times we live in, ain’t they...

I imagine Poland will too, soon.

I think the Polish people have almost always had the backbone and fortitude to stand up for what is right. I have always admired them.

Not surprising, the Czechs supplied Israel with arms during the 1948 war, while the rest of the world, including the US boycotted Israel, only supplying the Arabs.
