    No, I mean their goal is the destruction of Israel and killing all Israelis. That is the Palestinians primary goal, everything else is secondary or as a part of working to accomplish their primary goal.


    Which is awesome I guess, but given that they have no authority to do so....they were basically just jerking themselves off.

    Ms. Haley should have just made a list of those who sided with the U.S. It will be an easier task:

    Guatemala, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Togo, and Israel.

    (Yuge support from bigly countries, that)

    The UN has become a disgusting anti-semitic circle jerk. Nikki Haley is good.

    I'm not upset that my conscience does not overlap with Exile's.

    Remind me again, why are we doing this?

    Because it pisses off some people we don't like politically?

    Because Jesus said to?

    Because we're America and we do whatever we want for whatever reason we want?

    I think it has something to do with Sharia law.

    Because having an embassy in the capital city of an ally is the right thing to do.....even if it pisses off terrorists.

    Anyone else find it odd that he calls this 'bullying', while at the same time wants to throw a NBA player: Enes Kanter in prison for simply speaking out on his opinion that Turkey sucks because of governmental bullying?

    But libs will love this

    The same libs who say muslims are peaceful, while at the same time are super concerned that a simple move of US capital recognition will cause a violent muslim backlash

    Yeah but that violent backlash is completely understandable. Clearly they are upset that Trump made this move despite Kekistan naming Jerusalem their capital city recently. Now you may think, "is it really understandable for people to become violent over the US building an embassy in Israel's capital city despite a fake country also claiming that city as their capital?"

    To that I'd say, of course! Liberals and certain Muslim countries are exceedingly dedicated to protecting the rights of fake countries and that includes the right of fake countries to name cities that are in real countries as their capital city and have that count as the city being disputed territory. We can only hope that Kekistan is happy with Jerusalem and won't change their minds and claim Washington DC as their capital any time soon or we'll have to move all of our government buildings out.

    You may not like that Israel controls Jerusalem and has their capital there, but they do. Trump's threat to the rest of the world was pathetic, but the rest of the world passing a completely meaningless resolution on this issue just to take their chance to throw rockets at America and Israel was also stupid,. If the vote was about who should have control of Tibet something tells me the vote would be dramatically different.

    As people grew up and learn the complexities of the world and the nuances of geo-politics, most evolved and turn to experience and higher learning.

    I am fine with some who keep on thinking like a first grader.

    @DonnyMost's favorite tactic in this thread: pretending to be thickheaded.

    I do not think it is going to payoff.
