President Donald Trump will announce Wednesday that the U.S. will recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, senior administration officials said
The U.S. will move its embassy to the city, but that could take "years" — possibly three to four — and there is no location yet for the new facility, officials said

Many of the leaders warned that unilateral U.S. steps on Jerusalem would derail a fledgling U.S.-led peace effort


The "peace process" in the Mideast has been going on my whole life. All process, no peace.

Peace in the Mideast is never going to happen.

My only quibble with that comment is, I wonder how much of the turmoil is due to US meddling and shit stirring.

Why do you say that? What would be our motive for doing something like that?

Almost 25 years of not moving Embassy to the Capital:

Suddenly, Nothing Happened!

Announce moving the Embassy to the Capital:

But Something Might Happen!

Is Trump going to build an embassy there, and use that for leverage to give half of Jerusalem to the Palestinians later? The only way he would have time to complete such a plan is if they get to building and build quickly. Otherwise, he might as well let Jared go skiing for the 3 yrs. He'd have as much luck negotiating peace from Aspen's slopes as anywhere else.

Only 128 countries oppose. Just another highlight of the trump legacy. It will be up there with the Iraq war and “WMD.”

Btw the supposed “blue print” of Iraqi WMD was taken from the movie Resident Evil and no one noticed because they were all got paid to vote yes.

Of the 128 countries, 57 are Islamic countries. They don't count. Another 50 probably need the Arab oil. They don't count.

Supporting Palestine is supporting terrorists. Never reward terrorists be giving them what they want. Always punish them by taking more of what they value the most.
Zero tolerance for terrorism is the only way.

Palestine was never a city-state. It was a never a nation, or even a culture. The people who claim to be "Palestinians" originated from a group of Slaves during the Ottoman Empire and were made up of arabs, bedouins, and other cultures enslaved by the Ottomans during the time.

"Free Palestine" is basically an anti-zionist jew hating lefitst movement built upon a fairy tale.
32   MisdemeanorRebel   2017 Dec 26, 6:49pm  

If you watch/read interviews with butthurt Paleban from 1967, they all moan about the humilation to themselves as "Arabs" or "Jordanians". Almost none of them call themselves Palestinians, except for a handful of Soviet Trained VIPs. "Ordinary" former Arab Serfs of the Ottomans seem to have no idea about any "Palestine".

Also, if it's all about the "Occupation" of Jewdea, how come there was no peace in 1947-1966 with Israel? How come the Palestinians never rose up against Egypt, that annexed Gaza, or Jordan, which annexed the "West Bank". The "Palestinians" didn't seem interested in fighting against annexation by Egypt and Jordan. In fact, the "Palestinian" Flag is just the Jordanian flag with a star on it.

Anyway, have some Jews dancing the Trumpahora

There is something about Muslims that puzzles me . Muslims can do anything to other Muslims and they don't bother to complain. They just continue to kill each other as usual. The moment an infidel does some something to a Muslim the whole Islamic world wants blood, Jihad, and revenge. This is especially true when it comes to Jews and the Christian West.
If Islam is "peaceful" why do we get so much violence from it?

Do those countries run entirely on Hydroelectric and Solar? Or do they need a certain something to keep things running, but don't have a World Deployable Military Force to make sure they get it? Especially the poorer ones, whose navy consists of a WW2 PT Boat with a range of 200 miles and a single rusty .50 MG for which the ammo was sold by unpaid sailors long ago? Look out, here comes the Liberian Navy to launch a punitive counter strike on pirates who took on of "their" flagged tankers. Ran out of gas not halfway into the Gulf of Benin.

Besides, it's European Realpolitik for them to stake out positions different than the US. When the rotary device meets the excrement, however, they usually behave differently in fact.

They disagree because it's a good move. Has the EU made any good moves lately? AFAIK, they've decided to give up their sovereignty to Islamic barbarians who are currently raping and pillaging them for all of their worth. It's a literal butt fucking. I could not care less what some Foo Foo EU leftard thinks. "Free Palestine" is based on a big leftist lie.

Yes, of course you are correct. Everyone in the UN is corrupt. Only our hallowed leader Mr. Trump remains untarnished. He is the one beacon of truth and righteousness in a sea of foulness.

Push has not come to shove yet.
Take the example of India, a major importer of oil from the Middle East, which voted against the US. The USA has formed a strategic alliance with India as a counter balance to China. Israel too has formed some kind of an alliance with India. India has it's own problems with Islamic terrorists just like we do, maybe even more. I doubt if India has any love for the Islamic hordes. Her future lies with successful democracies like ours.

Trump isn't and cannot be corrupt. Multi billionaires don't need bribes. Trump wants fame and power, and the best way to get that is to be a very successful President.
He will succeed.

They also don't need tax cuts, but that doesn't stop them from paying off politicians to get them.

The motive is greed, not need.

OK. Lets get this straight. I have an utter contempt and dislike for greedy and selfish people regardless of their wealth. I just don't trust them. I'm sure some multi billionaires fall under that category, but most just want power. Some like Trump probably want fame, power, and an ego boost. Others like Buffet and Gates simply want a better world and have committed to giving away almost all their wealth to charity.
Most people who support lower taxes are average people, who do so, because they genuinely believe it is better for the economy. When I was in college I fully supported Reagan's tax plan and economic policies, even though I was poor. In hindsight, I see I made the right decisions.
