Trump’s error on Jerusalem is a disaster for the Arab world … and the US too - The Guardian
When will the Arab world accept Jerusalem as the capital of Israel? Answer: never.

Therefore, someone with courage had to come along and do the right thing.

They have zero basis whatsoever for disdain. It simply doesn’t concern them.
Good Luck with that policy, can't imagine what could go wrong other than a large percentage of the world being inflammed to the point they will do anything to kill and maim Americans because of this.

Jerusalem is a sacred religous place in terms of the Arab world.

As if that hasn’t already been happening from the Middle East for decades and decades?

So, what else is new? lol

You are right about one thing, the muslims in the Middle East ARE very prone to committing terrorist acts.

But if we allow that to deter us from what is right, then we let the terrorists win.

I'm afraid I'm with those suggesting it's Israel's call.

You cannot appease Palestinians. They are but the pointy end of the *hit-stick others are using to sow discord.

Signalling to all that the time has come when those preaching continuous compromise with no measurable results are no longer going to have the decisive vote has been over-due for decades.

Those so called Palestinians throwing rocks and burning tires care no more about the location of the U.S. embassy than the man in the moon. They're simply doing what Palestinians do, and will continue to do at the behest of a remote party's urging regardless.

Being that stupid they cannot see how Hamas et-al have manipulated them into dying for others for multiple generations has reduced them to automatons, all waiting for the next signal to act out.

They've been invited to a two state solution discussions on any number of occasions and refuse the concept entirely. Until they accept the right of Israel to exist at all; why would anyone think appeasing them over anything at all would bring stability and peace?

The US Embassy Move From Tel Aviv To Jerusalem
The death count so far is 25, and the day is still young. Terror organizations are declaring a new wave of terror against the US.

So, this was a good idea because..........?

Let's keep it real -- you can't please the Palestinians or Israel.

So why do we get involved. It's not our monkey, not our circus.

The fact that Jared & Ivanka are there to 'celebrate' this kind of unrest speaks volumes.

I hope they have fun today celebrating.

Oh come on! Peace has never, NEVER been attainable in that fubarred place. Terrorism is intensifying world wide regardless.

You could issue an edict all Jews be removed from that region tomorrow and have them relocated to North Dakota the day after and Arabs who have not had power over their own destiny due to their own leadership screwing them over for centuries would find a reason to come over here to kill them.

Radical Islamists need no excuse. Their goal is world religious domination. Living in harmony with infidels is NOT in their DNA. They will continue to call all muslims to the Jihad regardless if you gave them all forty acres, a mule and as many virgin brides as they can handle.

Lightbulb The US Embassy Move From Tel Aviv To Jerusalem

It's just not the big deal that lots of folks want to make it out to be.

If Israel wants the embassy in Jerusalem, then that's where it should be.

Israel doesn't tell the USA where its capital is.

We shouldn't pretend to tell them where theirs is.
