US recognizes Jerusalem as capital of Israel

[hoosierdoc]

The eventual winner.

There's a scene in simpsons where God was called as a witness in the trial of Joan of arc. Both sides claimed he was for them, it got awkward and the beam of light said he didn't expect them to be in the same room together and drifted back up

 

[Denny347]

Ahhh yes. Both sides claim "God" is on their side. The conflict will never end.

Based on my life experience GOD sure does like to see killing and destruction?
I wonder if the Devil likes bloodshed ?

Joan of Arc
That is one sad story.

Joan of Arc
That is one sad story.

The place where she was burnt alive, in the center of a square, is local to me.
She's a local hero.

That kinda freaks me out!
Its nice that it looks peaceful.
Here in the US it would be an amusement park.

Or, God believes in Free Will, and is saddened by what he sees. And the Devil doesn't follow the rules, and is gleeful over what he sees.

She was jailed, judged, tortured near that square in a medieval casttle that has now been destroyed.
Only one tower remains, called the Joan of Arc tower.
Lots of statues of her all over the city on at the spot where she was burnt alive.
Lots of history in that city.
During WW2 the Germans occupied the tower and painted it camo to avoid it from becoming a target during Allied air raids.

Interesting article: Bloomberg: Trump Teaches Palestinians About the New Middle East. The rest of the Arab world is far more concerned about Iran than about the West Bank.

Palestinian wounds are self-inflicted and getting worse. The Palestinian Authority leaders haven’t figured out that they are yesterday’s problem.

There may be some truth in that article, about the Palestinians being yesterday's problem.... at least for this administration, but not the rest of the world.

I was thinking three days of prayer might be an option too for these deeply religious people.

Pfft. That's not going to make world news.

Come over to the Civil Christian Discussion thread - we'll set you straight on this!



Since I'm posting, I'll go on record: I'm now a fan of this move by Trump. At least someone finally told the Palestinians, "Look, you were never going to get Jerusalem; everyone knew it was never going to happen. Now we can stop pretending and move forward."

You could also think of it as: The longer you choose to negotiate in bad faith, the less we are willing to give.

I wonder why Obama is not publicly supporting Trump for his decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.

I looked at Obama's Twitter feed he has been silent on the issue.
At least he's not condemning Trump for for it.

 

[historian]

I would appreciate if the squirrel chimed in on this one.

 

[historian]

My opinion is that this was a good move if only for the fact that everyone is screaming that we are no longer a credible broker for peace negotiations.

Good riddance to a problem spot that has confounded every administration since Carter.
