Merry Christmas Israel "Trump to officially bestow Jerusalem as Israel's capital"

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42246564

US President Donald Trump will recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, senior administration officials have said.

He is due to announce the controversial decision in a speech later.

Mr Trump is also expected to approve moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but not for several years.

Israel welcomes the changes but the Palestinians and Arab leaders have warned they will jeopardise any Middle East peace process.

The Palestinians' UK representative, Manuel Hassassian, told the BBC the changes would be the "kiss of death" to the two-state peace solution and amounted to declaring war in the Middle East.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to comment officially but Education Minister Naftali Bennett called on other countries to follow Washington's lead.

"Jerusalem has been and always will be the eternal capital," he told the Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference.

I'm sure Donny will handle this with all the deftness and aplomb he does all sensitive political issues -- like a bull in a china shop.

Also a very solid distraction from the Kremlin -> Deutsche Bank -> Donny money laundering scheme. Well done! Donny is clearly learning a lot about the swamp.

No, the distraction is you any Sappy drooling over any bone the corrupt press throw at you in your desire to overthrow a legitimately elected government. Can’t wait for next weeks “new” distraction because meddling, collusion, obstruction is not working after a year +

Good deal.

Really? Who is this "deal" good for?

The American citizens and diplomats in the area who have been warned not to go outside or anywhere near gathering spaces?

The American military personnel who have been put on alert for attacks?

The Israeli citizens who are likely to become targets of the 3 days of rage that has been called for?

And on a larger scale....

How is this deal good for the Middle East Peace process that Jared Kushner is supposedly running?

How many other countries have their embassies in Jerusalem? (zero)

Yeah...great "deal"...

The two state solution is a farce.
Palestinians do not want two states they want Israel annihilated .
How long have peace talks been going on? They are a joke.
Palestinians do not want peace so #### them.

Again Trump is right. Stop pussyfooting around with people who are intransigent.

So, about these "days of rage"......and the expected attacks, why do we blindly accept that we should do things because some people are going to perform such things as days of rage or attacks because of where an embassy is located. Screw them. The only people whose opinions matter here are the Israelis and us. Turks don't like it? Screw off. Sauds don't like it? Tough ti%$ies. Letting these people get what they want at the threat of days of rage is BS.

There is no Middle East peace deal in Israel, there never was. There never will be.
Not as long as these Syrians who call themselves Palestinians are not willing to be peaceful.
So whats new about people being threatened there, or military alerts there, or Israeli's there being targets.?

Democrats scrambled on Wednesday to amend the platform they had adopted only a day earlier, after Republicans attacked the party for failing to reaffirm Jerusalem’s status as the capital of Israel.

Democratic officials opened the second day of their convention Wednesday afternoon by calling for a suspension of the rules to amend the platform.

“President Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and our platform should as well,” officials said.

The party also moved to reinsert a reference to “God” that had been left out of the new platform on Tuesday.

Campaign officials said President Barack Obama personally intervened to change the language in his party’s platform on Jerusalem and God.

What peace process is that?

You mean the one where they bomb the #### out of anyone they feel like, we tell them knock it off, and they say "sorry", then go bomb someone else?
