Do we really need the US to recognize Jerusalem as the capital?

Before or after?

Was such an easy setup it should have been the first response.

They're cowards. They don’t have the guts to tell the commander “NO”

Ben Shapiro had interesting take on it - terrorism is committed out of hope not fear; once they realize that they arnt getting it will lessen.

Obviously, this is not the reason that he is doing it and also not the main benefit...

Terrorism is committed for terrorism as simple as that. What's that supposed to mean it's committed out of hope?

I'm getting some really tough questions at work from a lot of power execs and its very uncomfortable. I've been asking myself all day what makes this worth it? Which group is it that wants this?

Last December the US hung Israel out to try in the UN. This December they recognize the eternal capital. Which do you prefer?

In the end of the day this was about fulfilling a campaign promise. But I can't say that I mind.

I prefer peace over both of those.

[Ergel]

I prefer peace over both of those.

You're delusional

[Dan]

LOL

[ChaimMoskowitz]

You're delusional

If that is the case then the US should cut all ties to both and let them settle it. Remember America first?

Yes, because that would be in America's best interest. A war breaking out in the middle east

How does that hurt us. Maybe finally we will wake up and realize we don't need their oil.

Are they worried about muslim violence ?

You're joking, right? How would a regional war which could easily turn nuclear and/or global be detrimental to the US? I don't know

Can we leave NK out of this.

How would this turn global? With US out of it who is going to be the global players?

[Ergel]

What does this have to do with NK? Oh, you actually believe that Iran has stopped developing nuclear weaponry?
Iran, Russia, EU...

[Something Fishy]

Can we leave NK out of this.

Am I the only one who read this as Neturei Karta?

Well, you are Satmar

Recognizing reality helps keep the expectations of both sides realistic. A false illusion that Jerusalem as the capitol is negotiable doesn't.

+1000000

It actually makes it easier for the Abbas to negotiate. Not now of course, but in the future. 

Lets try and put our political views aside. Do you really think Trump is better qualified to make this decision?

Sometimes you need an idiot to do the job.

The world reacts to his decision differently then they would have under Obama/Bush etc. It would've been 100 times worse. The Arab leaders know that too.

Before or after?
