After 70 years of failed hope for peace it's about time the USA & Israel eliminate one of the greatest obstacles by making Jerusalem Israel's official capitol thus making hopes for peace greater than ever before. LET THERE BE PEACE ALREADY!
I am not sure how this leads to peace. I see just the opposite. At minimum, we are looking at another century of war. A disgusting amount of American dollars will fund it. Americans are going to die.
And all for something as stupid as pretending the capital of Israel is Jerusalem.
Earth to Donald... Jerusalem is not even part of Israel.
And the world knows:
- International outcry was swift and furious ahead of speech expected at lunchtime in the U.S.
- Palestinians said it would be 'a kiss of death to the two-state solution' and Trump is 'declaring war in the Middle East'
- Pope Francis said he was 'profoundly concerned' and appealed that 'everyone respects the status quo of the city'
- China, which has good ties with Israel and the Palestinians, expressed concerns over 'possible aggravation of regional tensions'
- Iran's supreme leader said Trump's new stance represented 'incompetence and failure'
- Russia, a key Middle East player, expressed concern about a 'possible deterioration' there...
