Anyone who is trying to persuade Trump not to follow through on his promise should shut up and listen. It is a fact that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel regardless of who likes it or doesn't like it, and Jerusalem never was on the negotiating table and never will be on the negotiating table regardless of who likes it or doesn't like it. By recognizing this fact and moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and dismissing the absurd notion Israel's communities in Judea and Samaria - which collectively take up less than 2% of the land - are obstacles to a final status agreement, Trump is acknowledging facts that can't be changed in order to establish a realistic basis on which to talk about what can be changed. The only thing denying these facts by Clinton, Bush and Obama has accomplished is to give false hope to Israel's enemies and to encourage a continuation of a conflict that cannot change anything, and that is not only wrong, but deeply, deeply, deeply immoral.That's what people do when they're running for president, they tell voters what they intend to do if elected, and for the most part they do try to do what they promised, especially when the promises are as specific as Trump's.The Secretary of Defense doesn't make policy, he implements the President's policy decisions, still, unless Mattis has changed his mind since making these statements in 2013, he would be an unfortunate choice since the Trump team has committed to recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, moving the US embassy there and dropping criticism of Israel's communities in Judea and Samaria and these move have strong bipartisan support and nearly unanimous support among Republicans.and his opinion on Israel and Palestinians are like many of ours:

āI paid a military security price every day as the commander of CentCom because the Americans were seen as biased in support of Israel, and that moderates all the moderate Arabs who want to be with us, because they canāt come out publicly in support of people who donāt show respect for the Arab Palestinians,ā he said Saturday at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado in response to a question about the peace process
Mattis took over Central Command, whose area of responsibility includes the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, from David Petraeus in 2010.
He called the current situation in Israel āunsustainableā and blamed the settlements for harming prospects for peace. The chances for an accord between Israel and the Palestinians, said Mattis, āare starting to ebb because the settlements and where theyāre at are going to make it impossible to maintain the two state solution.ā
Mattis then described a hypothetical in which 500 Jewish settlers live among 10,000 Arabs, and the implications of where Israel draws the border. He called it a choice between giving up the idea of a Jewish state or becoming an apartheid state.

Hey girl, what's your take on Bannon. You know,that anti Jew, anti Israel appointee. Heh Heh! Enjoy dear.
Steve Bannon Made Breitbart a Space for Pro-Israel Writers and Anti-Semitic Readers
I think it is fair to say Trump has excellent relationships with many Jews, - as do Clinton and Obama - and that Trump has a strong bias in favor of Israel, however it is well to remember all the polls have shown for years that the overwhelming majority of Americans also have a strong bias in favor of Israel, just as they have strong biases in favor of Britain, Canada, Australia, etc.That's what people do when they're running for president, they tell voters what they intend to do if elected, and for the most part they do try to do what they promised, especially when the promises are as specific as Trump's.The Secretary of Defense doesn't make policy, he implements the President's policy decisions, still, unless Mattis has changed his mind since making these statements in 2013, he would be an unfortunate choice since the Trump team has committed to recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, moving the US embassy there and dropping criticism of Israel's communities in Judea and Samaria and these move have strong bipartisan support and nearly unanimous support among Republicans.and his opinion on Israel and Palestinians are like many of ours:

Jerusalem is certainly the capital of Israel and functions as the capital of Israel just as much as Washington DC functions as the capital of the US or London functions as the capital of Britain.

No its not a fact that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel who is a brand new country, resurrected from centuries ago. Also Jerusalem was the capital of Judea, not Israel.
