I could never understand how any foreign nation could NOT recognize the designated capitol of any other nation (unless under revolution)

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, for all time, no matter how anyone other than God declares it. Those who oppose it are making a terrible enemy.

The Palestinians to play the victim...again. Trump is teaching them the Art of the Deal...and they failed to make a deal.

“I could never understand how any foreign nation could NOT recognize the designated capitol of any other nation (unless under revolution)”

Various American presidents have avoided the issue for, variously, not insulting Saudi Arabia, the “Palestinians,” for fear of “taking sides,” to force Israel to (fill-in-blank.) The list is endless, but mostly, America does not have the interests of Israel at heart. The American failure to recognize the capital of Israel has been a large factor in causing the “Palestinians” to hold out hope that they can force Israel to capitulate. It is time to force the “Palestinians” to lose, capitulate and make a deal both sides can live with. It hasn’t been the Israelis who didn’t want to make a deal. We need to stop enabling Palestinians who are doing nothing but producing terrorists. Imagine if Mexico fired rockets into Texas. We’d kick some serious posterior, not whine about those poor, downtrodden Mexicans.

More winning!

Not to nitpick, but I don’t think President Trump has the power or right to declare what city is the capital of Israel—that’s up to Israel (and God). What the President is rumored to be getting ready to do, is declare that the US recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which in MHO we should have done long ago.
