Some of the top congressional Democrats blasting President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the U.S. Embassy there have in fact supported that very position in the past.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., penned a letter to the president last week, urging him not to move the embassy. Feinstein’s letter said the move would “spark violence, further alienate the United States and undermine the prospects of a two-state solution.”
“The future of Jerusalem is an issue that should be decided by Israel and the Palestinians, not unilaterally by the United States,” Feinstein wrote.

But Feinstein was among those who voted for a 1995 law passed by Congress that required “the relocation of the United States embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.” The measure also required the U.S. recognize the city as the capital of Israel.
That law, the Jerusalem Embassy Act, passed the Senate by a 93-5 margin. But it has never been implemented due to a loophole that allowed successive presidents – Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama – the option to issue waivers every six months to delay the embassy move.

That’s correct; thanks for adding that to the thread.
If only Trump had won as a democrat.
We’d still have all of this #WINNING and a whole lot less of this #BICCHING!
Yeah, has she been sleeping all that time?
Actually, since 1921, and actually, for centuries before.
On a few occasions on freep, I’ve called Hillary Auntie Christ, due to her complex. Oh, I’m so great! The world needs me! I must bear the burden for all mankind, etc.
Fair enough. America needs to have Israel’s back.Period.
Isn’t it ironic..the same a-holes that for a YEAR called Donald Trump a Nazi, are now showing everyone what Jew hating pricks they really are
I agree.
Libs/RATs are part of the spawn of SATAN.
Libs, muzzies and the Grim Reaper are brothers in arms to carry out the dastardly evil deeds of their master; to steal, kill and destroy....and they’re good at it, too.
Exactly.....
Why does the Jew vote democrat? any clue?
Maybe they are bribed?
That you are a bunch of Israel hating morons...Another win.
Yes another win for President Trump
Gotta love how ABC news radio ignores thus at the top of the hour and tries to make it like it was just Trump’s idea and he is crazy.
“Palestine” claims East Jerusalem as their capitol.
Most of Palestinian land is in Jordan IIRC.
Jerusalem has been an Israeli city for several thousand years.
“Palestinians” were only created a few decades ago.
This “two state” meme is ridiculous
Israel is actually a lot bigger than it appears (just look up in the Bible what land mass boundaries God gave to His people)
“Trump should tweet this, it would drive the MSM nuts!”
Oh, LORD...I can see it now; some adjective-packed puff-tweet — if I may dare to coin a phrase — lauding “the near-prophetic prescience of former President Clinton” or some such Feldercarb.
And yet they’ll still get the Jewish vote next election.
I dont get it.
Of course America comes first, but pop was born in Italy and if Trump took a gutsy and RIGHT stand on something involving the boot I would be happy and impressed.
This is a GREAT move for Israel and the Jewish people everywhere.
Like I said, I dont get it.
So, self-hating Jews are pissed off that we are pissing off radical Moooslims. What ever shall we do? *shudder*
