This is one of the most significant things President Trump has done. All the mainstream analysts insisted it was a terrible idea, that moving the embassy would inflame the “Palestinians” and other Muslims, and lead them to riot and kill. They were, in effect, saying yet again that the U.S. must bow to violent intimidation and submit to bullying. In going ahead and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Trump showed that the U.S. is no longer going to be manipulated in this way. If free societies survive into future generations, historians will hail this as a decisive moment in the defense of freedom.
“US confirms Jerusalem embassy opening in May,” by Michael Wilner, Jerusalem Post, February 23, 2018:
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration will officially relocate the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May, timed with Israel’s 70th Independence Day, a State Department official confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Friday.
“We’re planning to open the new US Embassy to Israel in Jerusalem in May,” the US official told the Post. “The Embassy opening will coincide with Israel’s 70th anniversary.”
“The Embassy will initially be located in Arnona, on a compound that currently houses the consular operations of Consulate General Jerusalem,” he continued. “At least initially, it will consist of the Ambassador and a small team.”…

First, President Trump by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel and likewise moving the US embassy to Jerusalem is keeping with reality Both Divine and historic . This is good, wise ,right ,fitting ,proper and appropriate .
Furthermore, the Islamic agenda of many Islamic terror organizations as Hezbollah, Hamas, P.I.J. etc. of destroying the State of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic “state” is already as lost cause. This is because those Islamic groups with that goal are all fated to lose in the end. For that agenda of those Jihad terror entities are greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. For the Jewish people have every right to all of that land, including the West Bank, by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. Furthermore, the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
In conclusion, the jihadists members of Hezbollah, Hamas, P.I.J. and other like-minded Islamic organizations have joined a lost cause and a bad cause.
It may even rightfully be said that the jihadists of such Islamic entities have taken up a stand for a bad cause. This is a bad cause to the extreme. The Bible instructs in much wisdom, as in “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
President Trump wisely said “It’s time to officially recognize [the reality of] Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” Yes, indeed, it’s very much time to recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel. This bold and wise decision of President Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem has greatly offended many of the Muslim clerics . Be they, for example, the imams of Pakistan or the mullahs of Iran. Those Muslim clerics with their mind control and their unconscionable ways they manipulate the people from the mosques to be their stooges into a, violent uprising, because of the Presidents decision is despicable . Some people of the left will say that the decision of move the US embassy to Jerusalem is “provoking” and it will “incite violence.” This only shows the old saying to be true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse. “ The fact is President Trump made the right decision and if the Muslim clerics don’t happen to like it ,well then it’s “tough beans.” to them
As the Bible informs its readers “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem … the Lord will be the hope of His people ,and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16.
Pong says
As much as I solute president Trump for moving american embassy to Jerusalem, I want to remind that it isn’t his decision. It was decided by american parliament and that decision was bipartisan. No president before Trump had guts to implement that decision. It seems that President Trump understands that 2 states is not the solution. Previous presidents probably understood that also, but were dishonest as most politicians are. Fortunatly, today WH is occupide by a real statsman.
Walter Sieruk says
Many of the Muslim /Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” are very mad that President Trump has recognized Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel. Many of those same “Palestinians” were very happy when they found out about the mass jihad murders in America on September 11, 2001. So who cares if they are mad or not about the US embassy move to Jerusalem ?
Strangerinastrangeland says
Happy? They were dancing in the streets.
Bezelel says
If moving an Embassy is considered provocative and warrants violence, please consider the mentality of the offended. Are people who are so easily provoked anyone we can trust or even do business with? Should we even contribute anything to their welfare? To date every act of kindness or generosity towards them is taken and twisted into a weapon to use against us. It is practicing insanity to continue trying to accommodate their madness. What exactly will islam do to us in reprisal that they don’t already do?

The imbecile doesn’t understand that the U.S. has NOT given up her sovereignty to the UN. The U.S. can move an embassy ANYWHERE it wants with the ‘permission’ of that country.
And Israel has granted permission to President Trump–who has every RIGHT to make and move ahead with his decision to place OUR embassy in Jerusalem. President Trump is operating within his LEGAL boundaries. What an idiot.

Just to be clear, I am NOT calling President Trump “an idiot”, but I meant to address the imbecile “ibe” …he’s the idiot!

Since the American Embassy is not being moved to East Jersusalem, why would Ibrahim itace muhammed have any problem with this?
A rhetorical question, of course.
He has said many times here that he wants to see Israel destroyed, and that he himself looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews.
R Russell says
Ibrahim.
There is a Higher Authority than the UN. His name is Yahweh. What he says will happen. In spite of the 180,000 missiles Hezbollah has aimed at Israel which it intends to increase to 500,000 by the end of the year, YHWH will not allow the destruction of his chosen people.
Walter Sieruk says
President Thump is showing wisdom by recognizing Jerusalem as the Capital of the State of Israel by moving the US embassy to Israel’s capital city which is Jerusalem. This is, indeed, wisdom for this move is right, fitting, proper and appropriate. This is because the Jewish people have Divine Right and historic rights to this city of Jerusalem
To be more clear and specific, it should be made known that the Muslim terror organizations, Hezbollah, Hamas ,P.I.J. etc. are all fated to fail in their Islamic agenda of destroying the State of Israel and replacing with Islamic “state.” The reason that they will lose in the end and lose hard is because the members of those jihad terror entities are striving against the Will of God. The members who compose those Islamic terror groups might be too ignorant to know this, nevertheless the truth is the God had given all this land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have tall this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56. Still, in all fairness, there is one way for the Muslim members who make up Hezbollah, Hamas and the P.I.J. to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more. That way is for the members of the jihad origination to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
Champ says
Hear, hear, Walter! Your comments are excellent–thank you!
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
walter, what do you mean by divine right ? You mean yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods seized the land from owners and gave It to evil Jews according to mithraist Bible inspired by the Satan ? it is a lie. I Will send prayers from the Quran to get the Satan in yahweh and his wife Ashera hero gods running and track him down to bring evil Jews to justice for crimes against humanity.
gravenimage says
Of course, Jews no more worship Ashera than Christians worship Mithras, which the appallingly ignorant Ibrahim itace muhammd also ludicrously claims.
As for Jews’ “crimes against humanity”, what this Mohammedan means is that Jews dare to survive and live free of the Muslim yoke.
He himself has said that he looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews.
R Russell says
Ibrahim,
You are speaking of gods I do not recognise. You must find those who worship these gods to communicate with you about these gods. I cannot help you. Incidentally, I reject and dismiss any Koranic curses you send my way and return them to you.

For those angry nations who do not recognise this, and for all those tin-pot nations that do not recognise this move and the reality of the situation, just simply cut off US aid dollars.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Jmb, do It. It is stupidity for any muslim to receive aid from archenemy of all muslims, the evil united states.
LeftisruiningCanada says
And yet they take and take and take.
You should start a campaign to educate your ‘stupid’ brothers.
gravenimage says
Ibrahim itace muhammed prefers outright theft to receiving aid. He has said thsat Muslims have the “right” to rob and enslave Infidels. He just doesn’t want any strings attached–like Infidels asking Muslims to behave like civilized human beings.
Ren says
It is about time.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It still rankles me that U.S. taxpayer dollars were used in that mass pedophile wedding in the PA, with happy grooms receiving fat dowries honoring their marriage to 11 yr old brides. It rankles me even more that the wedding didn’t make it on MSM evening news broadcasts. Elision, if the blowhard editors even knew enough to need to elide.

I would love to be there to see that! Finally, we have a POTUS having a spine.
Let all the naysayers and critics vent their flatulent oratory all they want. We have caved in for OPEC, the leftists, and the UN too long.
If Jordan’s king complains too loud, just gently remind him of the following:
1. It was fellow muslims that murdered his grandfather
2. The Israeli’s assured his father that they would not try to take East Jerusalem or attack Jordan if he would not fire on Israel. Unfortunately, King Hussein let Nasser goad him into attacking Israel. The Israel’s responded by taking all of Jerusalem and the west bank.
Israel is not perfect, neither are we, but look at the rest of the neighborhood over there and draw your own conclusions.

Ray Jarman says
As others have said, God bless President Trump. Since Bill Clinton and 99% of congress agreed that the Embassy of the United States should be located in Jerusalem, President Trump is simply carrying out the mandate. I think he has moved it up as to prevent a future congress from derailing it. I would liked to have been a fly on the wall and witnessed the look on the faces of McMasters and Tillerson since they seem not to be willing to take real strong decisions. What was not stated in this article is that the Consulate location is more than large enough to accommodate the switch and the infrastructure such as communications and security will be at a minimum as an Embassy and a Consulate in some countries are not much different in size and complexity such as the US Embassy in Pretoria and the new Consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa are similar in size. In fact some of the internal sections were moved from Pretoria to Johannesburg. This may also make up some of the insults that Hussein heaped on Israel from the Oval Office.
mach37 says
So, for the US to NOT move its embassy to Jerusalem means that Islam controls the city of Jerusalem; Islam issues the permits in Jerusalem! Muslims control the city by throwing violent murderous tantrums? What law enforcement agency, or agencies, provides for public safety in Jerusalem?
Saryan Sha says
Wow! An USAian embassy in Jerusalem. If they didn’t have one before, it’s a good move to launch one now.
Imagine all the tourists and pilgrims waiting to visit Jerusalem on religious tours and pilgrimage trips to that area.
This could signal a big boost for tourism in the Jerusalem area.
They’re making America great again!
Brett_McS says
Trump has also done this against opposition from all but a few of his cabinet.
Valkyrie Ziege says
; Sadly, they think they’re building the “new temple” as part of the “fulfilment” of various superstitions “prophesied” in various religious texts, and every religion has an “end-times” scenero, ( Um, yeah, “Prophecies” which are followed is if they’re commands, and manipulated into place by morally dispossessed people, are more like a straight-jacket. ), to bring on “the last judgement”. Due to the fact there isn’t any “God(s)”/”Goddess(es)” there isn’t going to be any “rapture”, nor any “final judgement”. Sorry folks, it ain’t gonna happen, you’re stuck here ’til ya die. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschatology

The move was approved by Congress. The philosophy of the move is also correct. We should support Israel. It’s the only democracy existing in a den of snakes.

Yes stick it to snotty-nosed NPR, the BBC, Peter Beinart, the New York Times and crew (Tom Friedman, Roger Cohen, et al). Oh the sky is falling, this may even be worse than Global Warming – oh, I mean Climate Change. Don’t the Palestinians claim Jerusalem for their future State. Oh, yea, the future State capital for which they chant “A millionaire martyrs march for Jerusalem”. Wasn’t peace and multiculturism so trendy? What has Trump done?
Baucent says
Great news and a brilliant political move by Trump. The arguments against the Embassy move are lame and those spouting against the move, know they are lame. It makes sense on every level.
