I think you're forgetting that little issue of International Law. |

Pretty sure the country picks where its capital is.
What if the UN and "international law" decided Fall River was the US Capital?
International Law doesn't decide a damn thing where a country chooses to place its capital.
If "international law" can dictate where a sovereign nation can place it's capital, I guess they can also select the state bird. I am hoping they name it after you.... the coo coo  |

I think many forget how Israel became a country .. by the UN (league of nations )
and "international law"...
Still haven't seen how this helps the United states

So the Peoples Front of Judea started in 1947 as a result of the UN?
Nothing about the previous 3000 years of struggle? |

No, because it doesn’t fit the current narrative.

If memory serves me correctly the city has had many owners over the past 3 millennium.
The 1947 protocol intended to keep the city under International control. When Israel announced all of Jerusalem to be their capital in 1980 it was found to be a violation of international law.
It's complicated, but I don't think you can just issue a mandate and expect everyone to follow. |

Having an ally in the Middle East, when we are at war with jihadists, doesn’t help us in any way that you see? You don’t think we share intelligence with Israel?
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, that’s not complicated. What if next, the jihadistsbdecude they hate music? Do we pretend there’s no such thing as music?

they were already our ally !! and they haven't let us use their air bases to attack theses Jihadist why do you think that is ?? for the same reason the US has steered clear of the Jerusalem question for decades
Whats your take on settlements legit or just land grab like we did with the American Indians |

It is complicated, however the open status of Jerusalem has been under pressure due to minor things like invasions...

Did Israel grab the land? Or did they not relinquish it after each and every attack on them? |
