Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem doesn't prevent a two state solution. It just acknowledges that is Israels capital. Everything is open to negotiation.
If Palestine denounced violence, they would have the support of the entire EU and most of the USA for a two state solution. Palestine doesn't want a two state solution, they want to kill every Jew in Israel.
"Anyone who relinquishes a single inch of Jerusalem is neither an Arab nor a Muslim.” —Yasser Arafat (Voice of Palestine, Algiers, 2 September 1993).
Hamas charter intro: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory)."
Israel is the lone liberal democracy in the middle east. Christians, Muslims, Jews, Arabs all live and vote under the same rule of law.
Hamas is paying a reward to people who reach the border fence and using catapults to launch incendiaries. Palestine pays the family of people who go to Israel and kill Jews.
I'm not passing judgement or trying to degenerate anyone. I try to speak factually. Israeli Gov has their own problem and have been very harsh in response to Palestine, especially in the past.
I truly believe if Palestine Gov wanted peace, their would be peace. That can't happen when the Palestinian Auth and Hamas using civilians as fodder for headlines.
If I'm wrong or offend you unjustly, please tell me. Thank you for you kind thoughts.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. No offense taken. We're just having a friendly conversation.
Moving the Embassy doesn't prevent a two state solution, thats right, & thats according to the US, because the US government does support a two state solution.
This solution is supposed to include East Jerusalem as the capital city of Palestine. Have you heard Neftaali Bennet speak yesterday? He said in an interview with Becky Anderson of CNN, "Jerusalem will never be divided again & since we gave Gaza to the Palestinians to create a state & it turned out to be a terrorist state, we'll never allow anything similar to happen again" what does that mean? Its pretty obvious.
@mr-x , East Jerusalem is an "illegally occupied territory" according to international law. Every country on earth supports a two state solution.
Jerusalem is a holy city, important to all Abrahimic faiths.
About the people you quoted, we are the children of today.
The Palestinian authority is corrupt, didn't you know that? They have been a subcontractor for the Israeli government for years. Palestinians are just as frustrated with them as with anyone else.
On the killings: the Israeli army & leadership are merciless, they have killed 60 since yesterday, for attempting to cross the border & throwing rocks not grenades as you said. These are civilians, uneducated poor civilians.
Gaza has been a huge prison for the past decade. As a result of the Israeli decade long blockade.
No water, no food, no medicine, no work, no education. nothing whatsoever. isn't this inhuman?
Let them cross the border & arrest them, why indiscriminately kill women & children?
Dude, the Palestinian people have suffered enough. please understand that.
Thanks
