As a Jew and as a passionate supporter of Israel, nothing could be WORSE than moving U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. It is a Trump/Netanyahu slap in the face of Muslim Arabs; an indignity bound to make Israel and the world less safe! m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5…

Trump Tells Arab Leaders He Intends To Move U.S. Embassy In Israel To Jerusalem

The move would endorse Israel's claim to all of Jerusalem as its capital, breaking with decades of U.S. policy.

The Govt of Israel has long been in Jerusalem. Isn't it just a practical reality for the representatives of other Govts to be there too?

No not at all. Jerusalem is hugely important to 3 major religions. Eastern Jerusalem particularly a negotiated point in any serious peace talks. While Jewish state of Israel controls Jerusalem, the delicate balance of respect there is HUGELY important; this US move throws it off

There's also the delicate balance of supporting one of our greatest allies and the democratic count that stands between the West and any number of authoritarians and zealots - including Hamas.

This move in no way would do that.
