Trump just recognized Jerusalem as Israel's Capital

[Painisia]

Jerusalem should have been an international city controlled by the UN. All the 3 major religions in the world views Jerusalem as important and it would not be unfair for both parts if it was controlled by an international regime.

Right now I am not advocating anything beyond the peace process due to the delicate situation that requires careful negotiation: the last thing I want to do is back something that would end up causing conflict to break out, because that would only end in regret and tears.

Basically Trump and Netanyahu both in effect declared "Fuck the Peace Process, we need to kick those dirty sand niggers out of Greater Israel."

Totally thats why both Trump and Net were both in office in 1995.

Wow...

All i want to say about that crazy statement.

An Emergency UN meeting is taking place, this is clearly a diplomatic crisis to any who were doubtful.

So? The US is a permanent member of UN Security Council

No, League of Nations were the o- never mind UN it is

Well Israel has acted out of hand.
Your bias is showing.
Also I'm neutral-Israel in it's actions/government type despite disliking the regime and it's war crimes, but I like the people and the nation and support a 2-state solution.

“War crimes”

[Sordanifan]

Anyone notice it says "Jeruslam" and not "Jerusalem" ?

How is it a regime?
What is its alleged war crimes?
2-state solution is a impossibility. Palestine won't quit until it has all of it's de-jure land.

An Israeli soldier sneezing is a diplomatic crisis.

But n seriously any crisis in the ME is a diplomatic crisis.

[Luziyca]

Honestly, I think that this action will only make the situation in Israel-Palestine much worse, and it may have pretty much all but extinguished any chance for a peace settlement in our lifetime.

At this point, I feel the only way that peace could theoretically come to the region is if either aliens invade and attempt to genocide all of humanity, or if some major power has enough of Israel and Palestine's shit and threatens to nuke the area unless they make a peace agreement.

Israel had controlled Jerusalem since the Six-Day War, where it received it into military occupation from Jordan after a ceasefire. Jordan had since ceded its ownership of all of the West Bank to a (Read: nonexistent) "future Palestinian State", which effectively placed all of the West Bank under full Israeli control, which, I admit, the Israelis have mismanaged. The fact that Israel even consented to the creation of a Palestinian government on their territory is very generous of them. It's also the right thing to do; but that was literally nobody's business but Israel's. Israel allowed for the Palestinians to have most of the West Bank; but NOT Jerusalem. It was their choice and should be treated as such.

Never forget the Liberty and the King David Hotel Bombing.

[The Great-German Empire]

It actually exists. The USA doesn't need to recognize it for it to exist, nor the west.

Don't be brainwashed.
Also, both sides have the right to Jerusalem. Both sides's claim that only they have the right is complete bullshit and ridiculousness, propaganda, indoctrination, and brainwashing.*

I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I'm saying that it only exists because Israel allows it to. I'm not brainwashed, I am talking about plain and common sense: If you conquered something and nobody went to war with you to take it, it's yours. The same way in the Cold War, Western Allies would "not recognize" that the USSR owned Lithuania-Latvia-Estonia, but there they were, under civil administration as SSRs. Now we don't recognize that Crimea is owned by the Russians, but it is: Again, already under civil administration, and their children go to Russian olympiad contests. And the PRC along with most countries in the world do not recognize Taiwan, but clearly it exists and is de facto independent from China since China dares not set foot on it, and because even the nations that don't recognize Taiwan still have informal diplomatic channels. International recognition means nothing except for economic challenges.

Both sides have a CLAIM to Jerusalem. But Israel is the sole political, economic and military controller. It can do whatever it wants to it.

[The Ides of March]

Both countries have the right to exist. If both countries want the same city as their capital then they can go all Solomonic on it and divide it (as it already is divided). I can't see why the Palestinians are so furious about which Israeli city the Israelis want as their capital, besides idiotic and anachronistic claims.

Bad diplomatic move on the US president's side though. Nevertheless, it's better to pick sides than pretend to be a friend to all people.

[The Knockout Gun Gals]

I'm very surprised to see the poll favors the Approvals and the Likes for Israel.

Well, no major power so far.

[Nancivania]

Jerusalem is Israel's capital, if undemocratic, authoritarian, Islamic governments find that offensive then so be it. There's practically a 0% chance that this crisis will devolve into conflict, and if it does, then Israel will win

No not really in terms of definition war crime happens during a conflict a crime against humanity can happen in both peaceful and war time.

Yeah, but the military or armed force can be involved, so it's a rather reasonable one.
Why am I arguing this actually?
