CAIRO (Reuters) - Any move by the United States to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital would fuel extremism and violence, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said on Saturday.

He spoke a day after a senior U.S. administration official said U.S. President Donald Trump was likely to make the announcement next week.

The Palestinians want Jerusalem as the capital of their future state, and the international community does not recognize Israel’s claim on all of the city, home to sites holy to the Jewish, Muslim and Christian religions.

Word of Trump’s planned announcement, which would deviate from previous U.S. presidents who have insisted the Jerusalem’s status must be decided in negotiations, has already drawn criticism from the Palestinian Authority.

UN condemns Israel 6 times, uses Islamic-only term for Temple Mount, denying Jewish & Christian heritage


GENEVA, Nov. 30, 2017 – The U.N. General Assembly today condemned Israel in six Arab-sponsored resolutions, voting 151 to 6, with 9 abstentions, to adopt a text on Jerusalem which called Temple Mount by its Islamic name only, and voting 105-6-58 to condemn Israel’s presence on the Golan Heights, with the UK breaking for the first time from the EU’s common position to join the U.S. and Canada in opposing the Syrian-sponsored resolution. Click here for list of 6 resolutions.

The British delegate voted No, he told the assembly, because “resolutions which undermine the credibility of UN bodies risk hardening positions on both sides, and do little to advance peace or mutual understanding,” he said. “It is unnecessary, and disproportionate.”

“The Syrian regime’s intent is to use this additional resolution to deflect attention from its own criminal actions and indiscriminate slaughter of its own citizens. The duty of the General Assembly is to draw attention to international humanitarian law violations, wherever they occur. This resolution risks discrediting that vital responsibility,” added the UK delegate.

....

“Today’s Golan resolution, the second on the area this session, absurdly demands that Israel give over the heights and its 20,000 Druze residents to the control of the genocidal Assad regime.”

“It’s astonishing,” said Neuer. “After the Syrian regime has killed its own people by the hundreds of thousands over six years, how can the U.N. call for more people to be subject to Assad’s rule? The timing of today’s text is morally galling, and logically absurd.”

“Today’s resolutions claim to care about Palestinians, yet the U.N. is oblivious to the dozens of Palestinians who have been slaughtered, maimed and expelled by Assad’s forces, and more than 3,000 victims killed since 2011.”

Funny how everyone knows this annual, UN sponsored Antisemitism won't "fuel violence" but god fucking forbid someone says that J'lem is the capital of Israel.

5. What are the chances of him declaring his support

of a two state solution with the Green Line as the border?

[Mosby]

9. zero, because the green line was never meant to be permanent

Land swaps have been part of every peace plan, including clinton's.

[ProudLib72]

10. You know I was being sarcastic, right?

I doubt Dotard knows what the green line is or that there have been calls for a two state solution sharing Jerusalem.

[Mosby]

11. no, I totally missed that, sorry.

8. This is the first step in rebuilding the Temple for the 3rd time

Which Evangelicals believe has to happen prior to Christ returning.

12. Muslims have 2 holy sites

all to themselves.

And Palestine has had multiple chances to negotiate a two state solution and rejected all of them. I don't see why they're a hill worth dying on.
