What is your opinion on officially claiming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?

As if America has not stirred the pot enough in that part of the World.

Why do you call yourself a Zionist?

I don't see the point of calling it an Israeli capital while it's inhabited by both nationalities.

Maybe if the two merge in the future.

It's just bad optics. There's no real reason to do it, Tel Aviv is already there. Having the faintest regard for a peace process, if it's even possible, would just say to leave it. I don't care what actually becomes of the city, but if people are going to die over it, might as well let it be.

Trump is doing it because he thinks it will play well on Twitter and is not concerned with the right or wrong of the thing. It stirs up his base and that is all he cares about.

I view it as shit stirring. Combined with nauseating chumminess from the orange self-confessed-sex-offender ...🤐

If I was in Israel right now, I wouldn't just be worrying that this might cause flare-ups of violence from Palestinians, I'd also be worrying about [b]why[/b] Trump is doing this. What [b][I]favour[/i][/b] is he going to be asking for in return?😰

Maybe he'll just want them to build him a golf course for when he visits ...?🤔

I see your point but our presidents have been promising to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel since clintoon, when he wasn't busy cozying up to arafatass. Allowing terrorists to dictate our policy is a show of weakness. This official recognition lets them know they don't dictate our policy. Holding off on it has done what for the peace process? That's right, nothing.

Jerusalem is a holy city for Christians, Muslims and Jews. Making it the capital city of Jewish or Muslim state is an outrage towards the other two Abrahamic religions. As a Christian I feel disgusted by his decisions, the same way I feel disgusted by Palestians claims to have East Jerusalem as their capital city

Interesting, I don't understand it enough to intelligently comment. But just reading then it appears there was a 1995 Jerusalem embassy law which recognised Israel's right to choose its own capital and successive Presidents have signed a waiver on security grounds

the leader if such a great nation should show wisdom compassion tolerance and understanding
Trump appears to show none of these qualities

trumpshit trickled down warmongering imperialism that spreads hate

I didnt know u were zionist. Thats weird

if its not broke there's no need to fix it

I don’t get the point.
