RE: "Great Day for Peace" for US Embassy Opening as 43 Palestinians Killed and 2200 Injured

in #israel7 years ago

launching rocks with slings and flying incendiary devices are "protesting"?
even on CNN they were not "unarmed".

Here is why the embassy is such a big deal and why it is actually key for peace: The Palestinians and others have a position that Israel must not be allowed to exist. They can't have that position and peace. That's not going to work, the Israelis will not leave, so they are going to have to accept that Israel is a sovereign state and the first step to that is the US accepting that Israel is a sovereign state. A sovereign state can establish its own capital and putting the US embassy there is a symbol of our acknowledgment of that.

This is why moving the embassy is something the last 4 or 5 US presidents have all said was essential and that they were going to do. Donald Trump got it done. Some people took rocks and kites with firebombs to attack people with guns because they were mad about it and lost, that's a shame that they don't want peace.
