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

Personally, even as a hard line Zionist, I don't see the point in unnecessarily angering people and inflaming an already volatile situation. We know that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, isn't that enough?

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.
