Why would they do that Rochard, if it's so bad? And why would we continue to act delusional and pretend that we don't know Jerusalem IS the capital of Israel?
If you really think about it...it's stupid to pretend that we don't know Jerusalem is the capital. Especially when every world leader goes to JERUSALEM to meet with Israeli leaders in the capital.
And while every country has their Embassy in Tel Aviv...they don't do anything there. They all drive to JERUSALEM to their respective consul buildings and do their ambassador work there.
It's like a giant hallucination in effect there. lol
Can you imagine how stupid it would be if all country's moved their embassy's out of Washington D.C. to Atlanta and declared the U.S. didn't even have a capital?
You do know that EVERY President in modern times promised to do this during the campaigns to get elected (they LIED).
Including your hero President Obama and non-President Hillary Clinton.
I'm guessing that if President Obama had actually kept his word and had the balls to do the right thing on this...you would be praising it to the sky's (as would the media).
But of course it's Trump. So it's automatically EVIL.  |
It's a little bit more complicated than that, don't you think?
It seems Israel occupied Jerusalem in 1967 by force, and in 1980 declared it the capital of Israel by creating a new national law. However, in 1980, the UN declared this law "null and void". At the same time, the international community, including the US, officially regards East Jerusalem as occupied territory. All embassies are based in Tel Aviv and always have been.
You said "And why would we continue to act delusional and pretend that we don't know Jerusalem IS the capital of Israel?" but the reality is no one accepts Jerusalem has the capital of Israel.
This isn't about how evil Trump is, or my "hero" Obama, etc. This is about common sense. If Obama did this I would say the same thing. This makes no sense, everyone has their embassies in Tel Aviv, this is going to cost us hundreds of millions of dollars, and it's going to going to piss off a lot of people.
