It's a surprise that a Jewish member of congress, one who last election cycle received the single larges donation AIPAC has ever given to a campaign (larger even than any presidential candidate), would support Israel's longstanding intent to move their capital?
Are you also surprised when the sun sets in the west?
I am surprised that *Schumer* would agree with anything to do with Trump, since he has made it his sole ambition to oppose Trump in anything.
If Trump declares the sky blue, he will insist it is green. It's almost pathological.
Moreover, being Jewish seems to have nothing to do with political support for Israel.
If you're a Democrat, you're going to be against anything supportive of Israel. You may pay lip service to them, but you're not going to
be helpful in any meaningful way.
And lastly - Israel isn't moving their capital any more than WE are. Jerusalem IS their capital.
The problem isn't "moving" the capital - the Knesset is there. The high court. The prime minister.
Foreign leaders are met - in Jerusalem.
It's just that some dick-headed countries play this Emperor has no clothes game where they
pretend that it is NOT, even though the government clearly operates from Jerusalem just as ours does
from Washington. It only makes SENSE to recognize the obvious.
The fact that it pisses off Palestinians who say it's really THEIR capital is pointless.
