    I personally would like president Trump to blow up the dome on the rock to see king David's resting place..
    Something is there..[/QUOTE]
    I have summarized the practical reasons for not moving the embassy. Saying lets move the embassy despite publicly known objections by the Palestinians and "see what happens" is ridiculous. We know what will happen. It will hinder efforts to resolve the conflict.

    Gee, what a surprise.

    RAMALLAH, West Bank — Clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli soldiers broke out Thursday in Ramallah and other places in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, one day after President Trump announced that his administration would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

    The Palestinian Authority called for a general strike in Palestinian cities and, in Gaza, the Islamist Hamas movement urged its followers to ignite a third intifada, or uprising, against Israel.

    At a checkpoint near Ramallah, Israeli forces fired dozens of rounds of tear gas and stun grenades at hundreds of Palestinian protesters gathering to air their anger over Trump’s statement.

    They burned tires and pelted the soldiers with rocks.

    “This will be bad,” said an ambulance driver.

    No Lee , I know something is there, that's why they built a structure over it..

    Because they didn't want us to find out the truth..

    It's obvious

    If America hasn’t got enough enemies Trump ups the ante yet again. How many wasp nests is this idiot only too ready to stick his grubby fingers into? How long is America going too put up with this clown, sensible Americans and the world is waiting.

    The same question can be asked to the fanatics who threaten to kill Jews over which city a foreign nation decides to put their embassy in don’t you think?

    If a fill in the blank nation decided to put their embassy in Los Angeles (with the permission of the US government) instead of DC, would any of our people be justified in threatening violence to the citizens of that country?

    On a logistics level however, Israel’s government officials, and their offices are located in Jerusalem, so our ambassador and his staff must constantly commute there from Tel Aviv, and stay in a hotel, which is nowhere near as secure as a official embassy.

    This whole thing is absurd, the previous 3 presidents from both parties all said this would happen under their watch, but failed to deliver. Trump says the same thing and sticks to fulfilling his promise, and the lefties are too partisan to be rational and accepting of it.

    Get a grip.

    . . . all you've done is try to change the subject. Literally. That's all you've done.

    [qoute]You're the one who included the chuckle comment about being a politician. I'm commenting on your post. How is that changing the subject?[/QUOTE]Because you are trying to scramble to change the subject to Democrats instead of actually addressing anything I said. I can quote the post again if you'd like, but you haven't touched on it at all. You've only tried slinging whataboutisms.

    I touched on the part of your post I chose to comment on. If you don't want people commenting on that, don't post it.

    They should just make Israel the 51st state of America. We pay for their existence anyway. Then, there will be no more questions about loyalties.

I'm fine with anyone who wants to comment with intellectually honest debate and discussion, but the argumentative equivalent of "Look, over there! Anywhere but here!" does not qualify as that.

    I would be in favor of trading California for Israel. We’ll keep the Naval base in San Diego obviously, and the Ronald Reagan library would be off limits to leftists naturally.

    Okay you do that. Move the rest of the US to the ME. Great idea!!!

    In fact, let's just send all the righties there. They love Israel more than the US anyway.

    Other presidents promised but the cost to human life and the repercussions were deemed to be too great.

    No surprise the Bull-in-a-China-shop and chief doesn't give a damn.

    \
    Diplomacy is what the diplomats make it- fact, fraud. lies- and acts of cowardice, which do not go unrecognized by our enemies.
    Failing to recognize these things is indeed irrationality, a lock of logic and vision in judgment.

    IF you want to be believable, your word must be kept- or have a damn good reason why it's not. "We will be mad if you do that" is not a good reason. It's an attempt at "diplomacy" by a process also know as extortion.
