Not right, or wrong, but completely pointless. Why waste hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on symbolism? We are hiking taxes on middle class, and then we have to watch Trump blow the money on building super-max style embassies in countries where we already have a fine embassy,
That's a good point. I guess I should have said, IMO.
Are you making a case that we should reconsider all nation borders based on how the world looked at the time Islam was founded and/or back in the days of Jesus?
Seems more than just a little whacky to me...
Talk to the poster saying Muslims had the land first.
It should never have been their nation to begin with. The UN screwed the pooch on that one BIG TIME.
Its like if you have refugees come here and then the UN decides the refugees need their own country for *whatever reason* and give them Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. Do you think Americans would stand for it? Should stand for it?
Its not right.
I think the British and then the United States are more to blame than the U.N., but that's another bit of history that can't be undone...
Israel today has a right to exist. Okay, but to continue with the aggressive land grab beyond even the still-contested borders is wrong, even more so that the United States continue to be so utterly one-sided on behalf Israel regardless how wrong the agenda, regardless the countless UN resolutions to the contrary, regardless the many Jews also opposed, let alone the average American who really has no interest in getting any deeper into the mess that ancient ME history has us forever dealing with today and tomorrow.

That is quite right.
Much of the resentment comes from just this type of scenario played out. Now it's as if that refugee state/part of New England is making a grab for Boston.
In essence, Israel has been doing to the west bank what Germany did to Poland.
Talk to the poster saying Muslims had the land first.
I think you tried to make the case that it matters who was there first. Right?
In any case, I'd like to talk to anyone who thinks today's problems are going to be resolved by way of ancient world maps and/or history, but we all know that talking to someone driven by their own particular bias rather than what is right or wrong accomplishes nothing.
Just like evidenced by all the opinions being changed as a result of any comments posted in this thread...
