How many of the actual wars did the Palestinian People actually fight in (being a instigating rock thrower doesn't count)? "0". Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq have been the "designated armor" in the past, who shed their own blood, that actually did the fighting while the Palestinian People sat back and watched.

As far as the opening posters idea, what makes you think that anyone would be happy making Jerusalem the "world" city?

Not going to work. Time and death, the only way humans really ever solve any problem.
No Tel Aviv is Israel's commercial center but it is NOT Israel's capital. Jerusalem is Israel's capital whether others recognize it or not.

When was it approved by the Security Council, chava? Date, please.

Of course the Israeli defense lobby didn't exist in 1947. The Zionist lobby certainly did, and met with President Truman several times.

The facts were that not only were there pressure movements around the United Nations unlike anything that had been seen there before, but that the White House, too, was subjected to a constant barrage. I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House as I had in this instance. The persistence of a few of the extreme Zionist leaders—actuated by political motives and engaging in political threats—disturbed and annoyed me.
