(13,903 posts)I didn't, and I doubt it is as simple as the US deciding where it is to go seeing as Israel is a sovereign nation and all....but as usual the Trump admin is scamming.
LOL, this is kind of like going to a dance, spitting in the punch bowl in front of everyone and when they are look at you.......shaking your finger at them and saying..."I am taking names".
puts the fear of god into them all.....I predict Trump will threaten to leave the UN within the week.....by tweet of course.

(32,025 posts)First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton says she considers Jerusalem to be the eternal and indivisible capital of Israel and will be an active advocate if elected to New Yorks Senate seat to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
In a letter that became public Thursday, Mrs. Clinton wrote: If I am chosen by New Yorkers to be their senator, or in whatever position I find myself in the years to come, you can be sure that I will be an active, committed advocate for a strong and secure Israel, able to live in peace with its neighbors, with the United States Embassy located in its capital, Jerusalem.

(4,377 posts)And its still a shitty piece of politicking driven by pressure from hardline Israeli lobbyists. There can be a fairly reasonable case made for WEST Jerusalem to be considered Israel's capital, but claiming the whole city goes completely against international law. Moving an embassy there before any peace settlement is just a declaration that the US is not a fair and unbiased actor (not that that should really surprise anyone) and provokes new violence while setting back any potential deal.
It's stupid, counterproductive and purely political.
