Weight of history supports Jerusalem as the capital of Israel : Comments

By Kate Ashmor, published 8/12/2017

Jerusalem has been at the centre of Jewish life, culturally and spiritually, since long before Jesus Christ walked its streets and long before the advent of Islam.

Do most of you support Isreal being in a constant civil war?

That's essentially what your position comes to if you support the Palistinians. There is no 2 state peace plan. There is no UN authority in Israel's borders that is helping peace take place. There are two governing bodies in civil war. One keeps it's people in poverty, the other is Israel. One actively makes terrorists, the other again is Israel.

Years ago I felt for the Palistinians, because I saw them as the victims. Then I saw the fights. The bimbings, and so much more. The leaders of Palistine do not want peace and fair coexistence. They want Israel gone. Nor do the leaders of Palistine seem to care about their people. Poverty is fine. It fuels their anger and helps enlist fanatics.

Support the actual side that will do good.

On the other hand though. Does anyone question why Jerusalem is being faught for? It is a holy city in Jewish history, but is not favorably mentioned in the Quaran at all. The only logical reason to keep Jerusalem from being an Israeli city instead of a Palistinian city or a shared city is out of spite and hatred towards Israel.

The capital of Israel should not be the issue that Palistine goes to war over. If it does for this reason it will for any other excuse too. Seriously why support them? There is no peace.

The capital of Israel has been Jerusalem since 1948, with the parliament, supreme court etc all based in west Jerusalem. By basing the embassies in Tel-Aviv, foreign embassy staff have to drive 60 km for any meetings with Israeli MPs etc.

That the USA has elected not to continue this farce in the face of Palestinian intransigence is to be applauded.

On 21 March 2014 , Simferopol officially became the capital of Crimea a new federal subject of the Russian Federation. The referendum was not recognized internationally, and the event was viewed by many as an annexation of the Crimean land by the Russian Federation. Comrade Trump of the Swamp Bolsheviks has laid the foundation-stone of the US embassy and kissed Vladimir the Vulture a property developer with money laundries on the Dead Sea.

The history of the racist enclave of Israel goes back only to the violent foreign Nakba in 1948.

Speak for yourself, Ms Ashmor. Racism is alive in Australia, true, but not the blind, arrogant racism that would move us to follow your prescription for placement of our embassy. A much better idea would be to withdraw it altogether.
