On the matter of Jerusalem, the United States stands with Israel, and the two stand alone against the world. Which is as it should be.
Why should Israel be the only nation in the world that forfeits the right to decide where to locate its capital? And why should the U.S. be the only nation in the world that must defer to third parties before recognizing an allied country’s sovereign choice?
Donald Trump last week, in formally recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and announcing we should commence the building of an embassy there, noted that he was not only doing what was right but what is sensible. Jerusalem has been Israel’s capital since 1948.
Refusing to acknowledge this fact has given Israel’s hostile neighbors reason to believe they can refuse to acknowledge the fact of Israel and maintain the illusion that they can turn the clock back to the colonial era, when the region was part of the Ottoman Empire.
If that is what the Arabs want, then they should say so and give themselves back to Ottoman rule, as well. The Turks may not like the idea, but there could be other takers — the Russians, the Persians.
However, the Arabs maintain their own dreams of empire. They bicker over borders (Algeria and Morocco), attempt jerrybuilt “unions” (the United Arab Republic of Nasser), claim one another’s territory (Iraq and Kuwait), and so on. Iraq is a creature of British imperialism, Kuwait little more than a gold-plated tinhorn despotism.
The denial of Israel is a projection, as the mental disease doctors say, of the Arabs’ subconscious sense of their own nothingness.

A quantum change from the last 8 years of the one world sycophant.
One of the reasons that the libs hate Trump is that he deals in reality. This is a work related hazard of running businesses that need to turn a profit;)
The only way the lib socialist policy dream works is if they suspend reality and live in a socialist utopia alternate reality.
Which is as it should be.
Amen.
“...the Arabs’ subconscious sense of their own nothingness.”
Best description I’ve ever read of the utter worthlessness of the Arab world. A collection of third world s***hole states the only output of which is millions of angry entitled Muslim males rampaging throughout the Earth seeking its domination.
Not unrelated, I’ve gotten some very satisfying reads by frustrated liberals bemoaning the utter futility of trying to confiscate Americans’ guns or even change the common culture against private gun ownership. This is good; it means we as a nation are a dangerous target for Muslim aggression at any level.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
