Trump just recognized Jerusalem as Israel's Capital

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

1. I don't get the outrage? Isn't Jeruslam Israel capital?

2.Why is this not in the Trump thread?

I guess this might cause a bit of conflict, because Jerusalem is, from my understanding, not meant to be claimed by any one group. Tel Aviv is generally more recognized as an Israeli capital among the Arab states, though the issue is complicated and distinct enough that this can be debated.

This is one of Trump's dumbest moves, now he'll have the hatred of most of the world's muslim, even here in the States. More elite support for the fake nation of Israel.

2.Why is this not in the Trump thread?

1: Not officially. Edit: Though now it is officially to the USA. But no other nation has recognized it as that as the Muslims don't want it to be seen that way.

2: This is a big enough subject to be it's own thread imo. It's one of the biggest crises in recent history due to it's religious and political significance.

1: Ok...

2: It isn't? Trump says alot of shit that isn't true. Or is weird. Or stupid. This is just another one of those.

1) Because Jerusalem is occupied territory and not recognized as part of Israel by international law.

I presume the Alt Right will now circumcise themselves and convert to Judaism in honor of "based Donald" and the "based Jews".

[Trumptonium]

Good.

Though the 3 sites (Holy Sepulchre, Dome and Wailing Wall) should become governed by the UN with free access to everybody.

But Jerusalem is and should remain Israel's capital, recognised by all.

Anything that pisses off the Islamic world is just a bonus, and anything that enrages European & American Muslims to rage and riot is politically beneficial.

2) Turkey, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq both warned Trump of "dangerous consequences" if he went through with it, so this is a major happening depending on how those powers react.

Good. Let the alt right and the neo nazis fight each other.

No matter who wins, we win.

Last time I checked Israel is a nation with its own army, government, land, and seat in the UN. (Not required for a nation, but pretty convincing evidence that it is)

[Chunmei]

Oh well, peace was overrated anyway.

This is less said, more done. Every six months since Congress passed a bill to move the embassy to Jerusalem in 1995, the president has the option to defer moving the embassy, however Trump is choosing not to defer movement.

[RepubblicaItaliano]

Ladies and gents a shitstorm is a brewing, I hope you brought your umbrella.

This is a huge crisis. Bigger than even the Qatar Crisis, possible as big as the Syrian crisis. It may not seem that way to you but if you look at it from a geopolitical perspective with the history and goals and beliefs of these nations in mind you'd realize this could cause the biggest crisis since the cuban missile crisis.
Edit: Though maybe not as nuclear or world-ending.

Trump said something stupid. Bears shit in woods. Watersides are fun.

This is not a crises this is just something dumb.

It is indeed, that's like me saying Moscow is Russia's capital.

[Cyrothica]

Jerusalem was always Israel's capital, and I find it more sadistic to carve up a sovereign nation to appease it's neighbors than to cause a "diplomatic crisis".

And you should probably place this in the Trump thread just to be safe to be honest.

Yes! Excellent News!

[Arlenton]

President recognizes Israel's actual capital. Sounds pretty good to me.

Yup. Trump did it. The madman did it. He's caused another unnecessary crisis, just like Yemen and Qatar.
Yes I am aware of the argument for doing it, but this will cause another diplomatic crisis even if they stay our allies, it will strain ties further.
I personally think one of 4 things will happen:

1: Diplomatic crisis that makes USA be seen as enemy of Islam by many people but still an ally of many Muslim governments.(Most likely)
2: Cause a holy war(Extremely unlikely but possible if things get bad enough. Not impossible, but quite implausible.).
3: Many Muslim states cut off all ties with USA(Still pretty unlikely but more likely than the Holy War.)
4: Some Muslim states limit access to oil and use that as leverage(Unsure of this, it is a major Saud money-maker and they may be quite hesitant to do it, but it's not impossible realistically. Could still happen. Slightly but not much more likely than the Holy War.)
Either way, this is going to cause issue with the Israel-Palestinian peace process, in my personal opinion and result in another unneeded crisis, even if you support Israel strongly, you gotta agree this is another headache not worth creating.
To me he f*cked up, I'd have said this of any President, whether I liked Muslims or not this is strategically a poor move.

What? How did he cause the crises in Yemen and Qatar? The Arab Spring was backed by OBAMA's government.

1. They've been seen as an enemy of Islam for at least two decades
2. Yes that's totally gonna happen
3. Not gonna happen
4. Not gonna happen

He did not fuck up. He did what was right: supporting Israel against Hamas/PLO terrorists.

The IDF are just as much terrorists as Hamas.

Israel carved up Palestine, not the other way around.

And Palestine was a Jewish State. Even had a Jewish flag. The land was always Jewish. The arabs didn't lay claim to it until Egypt and Jordan begun exiling people. And Israel didn't carve the land - The U.K. did. And last I've checked, since Israel has it's own economy, army, seat in NATO and UN, which therefor makes it a nation by legal rights. Also if we're going to go by "Well since so and so invaded such and such, the land should be returned to the former citizens" then let's apply this to Canada, U.S., Europe, China, Korea, and so on if thats how the game is gonna be played.

But Jerusalem is and should remain Israel's capital, recognised by all.

"All" currently consisting of exactly two countries.

These countries have embassies in Jerusalem.

Arabs were the majority in every part of Palestine except Jaffa.

No they don 't. There are no foreign embassies in Jerusalem - they are all in Tel Aviv.
Your own link also specifically states MISSIONS, not EMBASSIES.
