    It's basically corruption. A lot of other countries provide worldwide financial assistance yet don't demand total control over other countries' sovereignty like you guys do.

    Jesus christ you really think the world will stop turning without you, do you?

    Actually, I'm beginning to wonder if it wouldn't turn better without your "help".

    Trump is not just threatening Arabs. He is threatening anyone who receives US aid including presumably the UN.

    You are not "helping Israel"; Israel is no third-world, poor, war-devastated region. You are "detroying all of Israel's neighbours" is what you do.

    America are the bad guys since the end of the Cold War. Well, badder than they were, in any case.

    Are you sure it isn't America Second?

    I mean, it's really Israel First in your case, isn't it?

    Or let's do this: stop your funding to NATO and take Germany's place on the front lines.

    It's just going out of your way to piss someone out. Inversely, what are America's gain in recognizing illegal violence, abuse, theft and inequity? The Israelis won't like you more for it, you know. They still will sell you milspec tech to China, for exemple.

    Odd, the same people that claim "sovereignty" to reject climate accords, refugees, trade agreements, etc... are the ones now saying other countries better do as they're told. There's a lesson there somewhere.

    Yep, sounds like it, but in fairness the US has the right to cut aid and he was very blunt but right to suggest no reason to pay if you dont have a certain control over it, didnt Germany just do the same according to Sobo ?

    It was a sarcastic comment [by means of a paradox].

    What does Israel get from such decleration ? would it ease our fued with the Palestinians in any way ?

    IMO its just like the Mexico thing, ppl said its because Trump hates Mexicans but taxing the imports is exactly what "America first" means, the whole circuss around it was to gain public support in face of new tax, same here.

    There are several suggestions as to why he has done it but I would say it has not helped Israel any.

    Ofc not, it helped Bibi's electors among settlers but thats all, most Israelis will even findvit a burden to travel up to Jerusalem to get a VISA.

    Or perhaps the bubble of left wing hope will burst and the charades posing as investigations will just fade away?

    Doubt it Jordan was another country that illegally occupied Jerusalem, just like the Jewish State.

    Then you might as well talk about Ottoman law if we discuss old and irrelevant.

    And if we crawl up the a$$ of the Palestinian's they will still hate us.

    I was starting to have sympathy for them and was starting to criticize Israels treatment of relatives of terrorists. Then I watched them dancing in the streets after 911. F them! About time for them to put on their big boy pants and start trying to improve their own situation with hard work. They have the same entitlement mentality that welfare queens have. Other peoples have been screwed over far worse and they got over it and built a new life. Time for these sand rats to do the same.

    Do you think that now Israel annexation of East Jerusalem has been recognised de facto by Trump, it will give Israeli citizenship to the residents?
