Posted by Mitch45 on Fri Dec 8 09:34:02 2017, in response to Trump officially recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital, posted by Dave on Wed Dec 6 14:25:38 2017. Trump did not say what everyone thinks he said.When he said that he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, he did not mean all of Jerusalem. He meant West Jerusalem, the part of the city that has been within Israel since 1947. He never said that East Jerusalem and the Old City were being recognized as part of the Israeli capital. The future status of these areas are still to be negotiated. This should come as a surprise to nobody as the Knesset has been in Jerusalem practically since Day 1. Of course, the Palestinians want all of Jerusalem as their capital, so the smallest gesture that goes against that sets them off. Of course, the lefty media will never be honest about what Trump really said because it doesn't fit the template. |
