1. This is a sound political and strategic move. Every president since Bill Clinton in 1992 promised to move the US Embassy to Israel's capital. It took the fourth president, President Trump, to make good on promises made by all three prior presidents. A nation's embassy should be in the host nation's capital. To the best of my knowledge Israel was the only nation we did not have our embassy in the capital city. Furthermore, it is hard to trust a nation like the US, when we say we are going to do something and we do not. On these two points alone moving our embassy to Israel's capital city is both a sound political and strategic move.

2. There will never be peace between Israel and the Arabs. As those of us who have served in the Middle East can attest, muslims live in a culture of conflict. It is me against my brother, my brothers against my father, my family against my extended family, my extended family against my clan, may clan against the region and so forth. Muslims have now turned in recent years to the Jewish state of Israel. Even though there were no major Arab population centers in modern day Israel when Samual Clemens (Mark Twain) visited the Holy Land in 1867, they now claim to be displaced by the Jewish people. The only solution for the muslim is to drive the Jews into the sea. With battle cries like that we don't have to worry about enraging muslims because of placing our embassy in Israel's capital. The only peace with muslims is to convert to islam or die. Furthermore, Israel is called "The Little Satan" by muslim. "The Big Satan" is the United States. America really should not be concerned with how muslims nations think of us or our relationships with other nations.

It my understanding that Israel has half the city and the Palestinians have the other half. I don’t understand what th3 big deal is. Only that either side wo7ld oppose anything the other side wanted to do. I think that they will get over it. It is nobody’s business what we do on our friends land. For the last 50 some years, we haven’t been able to set up a peace accord between the two. They just don’t want peace.

No, the city actually has four quarters: Christian, Jew, Arab, and Armenian.

SCPO (Join to see) - Jerusalem is not divided into four quarters. Old Jerusalem is divided into the quarters you speak of. Old Jerusalem is also part of the larger city of Jerusalem. All of Jerusalem and all of the Old City is controlled by Israel. This includes all four quarters to include the Arab quarter. Control of the Old City is not divided. The four quarters are simply racial divisions on who lives in those quarters. The palestinians control East Jerusalem which sits to the east of Jerusalem. The palestinians do not control the Arab quarter of the Old City.

You're right. I was, indeed, referring to the Old City. But in terms of its history, its politics, and its religious significance, the Old City is all that has ever mattered to the world.

Don't believe the move will influence the outcome either way. The move is only a relatively minor thing in the overall landscape of relations between the two. We are just the great satan type nation for the Palestinian terrorists to hate when they are not hating the Isralies. It will take major concessions on one side or the other to get movement between those two.

The repercussions? It would appear to be exactly two dead Palestinian protesters who were killed by Israeli security forces during a protest. In reality the Muslim world is unhappy with the decision, but they also acknowledge that the Palestinians have long been responsible for disrailing any real attempt at peace.

Despite the antagonists on either side that may voice their opposition to this, it is the right thing to do for all the right reasons. No more elaboration is necessary.

This Ultra Orthodox can be pretty anti-Israel at times, but for a completely different reason.

Missed the mark by a mile with that reply, SSG, but I realize your primary goal was the 100 points, not the purpose of my discussion.
