    Asking for a friend.... Does Israel even want it as a capital?

    I assume you're referring to Jerusalem? They already consider it their Capital and have for the last few millennia, it's the rest of the world who has a problem with it.
     
  3. Do you ever research stuff you post about or just regurgitate the same drivel you read on the Vox/Slate chatroom?

    I knew Christians did, I just never bothered to look into the history after they drew up the country after ww2.

    There is already a law on the books that says that our embassy will be in Jerusalem. That law requires a presidential order to the State Dept to implement and that order was not issued by previous administrations. A waiver was submitted every November to extend the non-implementation another year. Trump let that deadline pass Monday.

    Placing our embassy in Jerusalem is not an overt declaration of a foreign capital. It is a recognition of Israel's seat of government.

    The arabs are issuing threats. I hope they don't take to violent extremism and commit terrorist acts. Oh wait....

  7. And the people were worried about Bernie Sanders being the first Jewish president.

    A bunch of attention seeking bitches (settlers) are supported by Sheldon Adelson the Las Vegas Tycoon.

    He gave $35 million to Trump groups during the election and now Trump is repaying this bastard.

    Only hard line extremists want this.

    Honestly, I know Jesus rode a donkey into town and the Catholics wanted to hold it under the empire/crusades....I never realized Israelis had a hard-on for the place short of thinking it was holy.
     
  9. Is that because you are you illiterate, or just playing dumb because you got smacked down?
    Never mind. I know the answer
     
  10. It was just Christians in those days, before the damned splitters. ;)

    Only the ultra right wing settlers really want this symbolic move. Trump is their bitch now.
