JemJem Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Well.....let's wait for Trump's full announcement/text first. It is not a smart move, I think ; but I doubt it will spark a war or any major conflict. Maybe a few countries will cut off diplomatic relations with Israel. They probably won't dare do the cut-off with the US though :) As for it affecting the peace process, I say what peace process ? :) It has been virtually dead for quite some time One interesting thing to wait for would be regarding which countries will follow the US in moving their embassies to Jerusalem. I am guessing that there will be quite a few, including some European ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know like maybe putting his investments in a blind trust instead of using his office to make a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 There are about 4 recent individual threads here on T.Visa which related to Trump's plan re; Jerusalem. All threads claim that foreigners are unhappy about the announcement. Who likes it, besides some Israelis? Is Trump capable of doing anything right?

"True American" means white, straight, male, and protestant. He's divided the country more than it's been since the civil war. Yes it was very divided in the Vietnam war era. But it's worse now. Thank you twitter troll president. Max Boot says it better than I can: "Anything but kind of a normal mainstream American, because of the way that he is dividing us and balkanizing us and seems to be catering to this white nationalist agenda." http://www.edition.cnn.com/2017/12/03/us/max-boot-foreigner-gps-cnntv/index.html Edited December 6, 2017 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwiken Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 So now Israel by US recognition of Jerusalem as their Capital can claim all of Jerusalem. And from that annex the West Bank. Shiite and Sunni now again can focus on the traditional threat. The move may stabilise the middle East but will not help the peace process. One again the Palestinian people are the pawns in the game. Trump delivers the Muslim World into Russian hands and continues to push the Asian Pacific Nations more towards China. America will be great again but only in its own Border. Trump has completed his great wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time we supported our allies and told the radical Islamic Nuts to get stuffed. What did Obama do in eight years? Nothing Nothing is far better than making a stupid , self serving decision that may well spark even more trouble and loss of life in the Middle East. One day you Trump boys are going to wise up and realise what an incredibly dumb and selfish person you are supporting , he will throw you lot under the bus soon enough !

Only what they are told to believe. Children in Middle Eastern Countries attend Mosque and they learn whatever the Clerics teach them. Happens in the Mosque in the U.S. too. I worked in the middle east and you are correct that not all hate the U.S... Even those that say they do would kill to get a visa to go to America.

carmine Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well there you go. In one foul swoop Trump has singlehandedly destroyed any chance of the USA being a middle east peace broker and ruined what was to be fair the myth of American neutrality between the Israelis and arabs. Aside of being a truly repugnant individual what a horrific reflection is his election on the American voter!!! Yes i know the equally loathsome Hilary Clinton was the other choice but who not abstain? How did this cretinous vile born with a silver spoon racist narcissist become president? Its just horrific.

America will be great again but only in its own Border. Trump has completed his great wall. Newsflash: Israel already annexed Eastern Jerusalem 37 years ago. Trump's statement does not explicitly support the Israeli annexation, and even made a reference to current conditions not being final status. It does not includes anything which supports the hyperbole assertion "and from that annex the West Bank". The notion that this would somehow serve to bridge the Shia-Sunni divide is far fetched, as was evidenced on pretty much all other past instances related to Jerusalem. No idea how or why you imagine this move will stabilize the ME. Russia reasserting itself in the ME does have a lot to do with Trump foreign policy (or lack of), but its roots can also be traced back to the former administration (and, of course, to Putin's own efforts).
