6. It's not only if it's predecided where the borders are.

Predeciding the borders is, like predeciding Jerusalem's status, "taking the issue off the table."

We object to one and praise the other. They have the same effect overall, but carries with it the presupposition that one side is good and the other evil.

What's amusing is that the "capital" of Israel has been Jerusalem since what? 1950? Even while claimed as Jordanian territory, the official administrative and legislative buildings of Israel *were* located in Jerusalem. This should be a hint that just maybe the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital doesn't *have* to be a deal breaker for the Palestinians. Except that it is, and that, too, has some presuppositions that we are quite capable of uncovering, however reluctantly.
