I already said I was mistaken. That's different than intentionally spreading a false statement. But then again on this board it's not!

There is a difference between "Friends" and "friends".

Not the same kind of difference as that between Polish and polish, but sometimes capitalization makes all the difference in meaning.

Re: Trump officially recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital

It is viewed as a strongly pro-Israel action (whether rightly or wrongly), and therefore does reduce one's ability to be a mediator for a peace settlement.

For example, a mediator in a labor negotiation would always be incredibly careful about the words they use to describe a situation under discussion, and would not use a technically correct phrase if it would offend one side. Part of being a successful mediator is to cater to the sensitivities of both sides, whether those sensitivities are reasonable or not.

You can well argue that the US should be actively pro-Israel, but then you have to accept the loss of ability to be a successful mediator, which was ftgreene's point.

The US keeping its embassy outside of Jerusalem is a tacit admission that they hope that someday Israel will cede Jerusalem. That tacit admission is now over.

I don't know that the law was as stupid as it was uniquely crafted for a very unique set of circumstances. Show me where another nation's capital city is claimed by multiple "nations". Of course the United States could put it's embassy in any city. It seems that our law was crafted as a diplomatic tool to bolster Israel's claim to Jerusalem and to prod the Palestinians into a lasting peace. It's not met it's goal.

"signed into law"

It was not. It became law by the 10-Day Rule.* Clinton didn't sign it.

"A bill becomes law if signed by the President or if not signed within 10 days and Congress is in session."

If Congress is NOT in session it becomes a "pocket veto."

1. Calm down.

2. Find the numerous posts where I state I believe Jerusalem is the eternal, undivided capital of Israel.

3. If you truly care about the people of Israel and Jerusalem, you would realize they are not political pawns for you to play with.

East Berlin was officially under allied occupation. The United States did not recognize East German sovereignty over the Soviet sector of Berlin, but nevertheless opened its embassy there when the US established relations with the GDR.

While "signed into law" is not technically true here, it has the same practical effect. The same would be true had Clinton vetoed it and Congress overrode the veto.

Nope and nope. Trump cares about himself and stoking culture wars. Inciting Palestinian violence fits in to his worldview that Muslims are savage extremists who are an inherent threat to the United States and its allies. If Trump was such a good friend of Israel, why is Jared Kushner pushing the same BS that the Obama administration (among others) pushed that solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will bring peace to the entire Middle East? If Trump was such a good friend of the Jews, why did he make this proclamation in a room with Christmas decorations and Mike Pence standing behind him? CUFI supporters don't support the same "I" that the Jews do. When will you realize that?

While Trump is not perfect, for instance I don't appreciate him telling Netanyahu to not build settlements in Judea and Samaria, and he states that is going to broker some kind of deal. There are no deals to be made. But he is the only United States president to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. And it's December, of course there are Christmas decorations.

Did you read his Point #3? From reading his posts over the years dealing with his experience of actually living in Israel, Oren believes that Jerusalem as the capital is non-negotiable, but you don't go into a negotiation stating what your non-negotiable points are.

I agree that there has been nothing shown by the "Palestinians" that they have any desire to negotiate a solution and/or follow any accepted agreement. Israel has offered well more than it should only to be spat in its face by everybody.

The problem Israel faces is that the "Palestinian" community is growing at a faster rate than the Israeli community. At some point, to maintain a Jewish majority of the electorate, Israel will need to strip them of their rights including the right to vote. Problem is that then makes Israel doing everything that, as Jews, we faced in other countries.
