    Trump's Jerusalem move: Arab allies attack decision

    Having a moron as President dooms American foreign poicy in my view.

    Your thoughts?

    https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-middle-east-42297437

    Arab officials say US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital risks plunging the Middle East into "violence and chaos".
    The move ended US neutrality on one of the region's most sensitive issues.
    Arab League foreign ministers now say it means the US cannot be relied upon as a broker of Middle East peace.
    The statement by 22 countries, including close US allies, comes after a third day of violence and protests in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
    Israel has always regarded Jerusalem as its capital, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem - occupied by Israel in the 1967 war - as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
    For Mr Trump the decision fulfils a campaign promise and he has said it was "nothing more or less than a recognition of reality".
    The Arab League resolution was agreed at 03:00 (01:00 GMT) after hours of talks in Cairo. It was backed by a number of US allies, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, who had already voiced their concern.
    The resolution said:
    • The US had "withdrawn itself as a sponsor and broker" of any possible Israeli-Palestinian peace process through its decision
    • Mr Trump's move "deepens tension, ignites anger and threatens to plunge region into more violence and chaos"
    • A request would be made for the UN Security Council to condemn the move
    At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday, the US found itself isolated, with the other 14 members all condemning Mr Trump's declaration.

    what happened to your claim that Trump would be out in 90 days.........oops
    the Palestinians will never be satisfied until every Jew in the world is dead. At least Trump has told them to piss off, and rightly so. They do not desire peace, but all that real estate. And you favor war, anyway.............
    Do you desire to see every Jew erased from the planet as well?

    Trump shouldn't have done that. I want a president that works in America's interests, not Israel's like Trump, not global corporations, like Bush or Obama. It's always some $#@!, if it's not one thing, it's the other.

    I never said he'd be gone in 90 days. Nor have I ever said that I favor war. Your words are never an adequate substitute for mine.

    1. I am never responsible for what you falsely say on my behalf.

    2. If you don't produce a link then you are posting in bad faith and should pay the consequences.

    I agree. Let Israel dust off their weapons of war and go after all their enemies......... So far, they've been holding back

    you really don't remember your thread about the Trump/Russia collusion thing? You claimed 90 days. Now don't start misrepresenting yourself at this point, There are too many witnesses still here for you to o start that crap.
    Anyone want to back be there up about this claim of "I never said that?"
