    Unfair to all religions with claims to a significant history in Jerusalem. If you don't know the facts and history, how do you justify having an opinion?

    And what "American law" are you referring to?

    The most significant, holy to all Buddhists sites are in and around Kathmandu, and most world's Buddhist population live elsewhere - Thailand, Myanmar and Sri Lanka being most populous. WHF Thailand, Myanmar and Sri Lanka are not claiming Kathmandu as theirs?

    An American law I was referring to is the law, requiring US to locate it's embassy in Jerusalem.

    That would be irrelevant to the Muslims in the region of Israel who are being driven to hate the US more and more. Do you really want radical Islam to stop targeting the US?


    And that has nothing to do with Trump's statement nor about the Islamic claim to Jerusalem.

    Israel is not the cause of turmoil in the Middle East.

    Every U.S. administration has followed a policy of Israel first. It is not kowtowing to Netanyahu, it is kowtowing to the Jewish lobby and the political power of Jews in America. Also kowtowing to those Christians who believe Jews are the chosen people. And why are they the chosen people? I guess because they wrote a book that said they were the chosen people.

    Yup. It has nothing at all to do with high honor or high ethics or justice.

    You mean like they have the whole time the US embassy has been in Tel Aviv? :no:

    The US will have a target on it's back no matter where the US embassy is in Israel. Grow up!

    It would seem it is you who may benefit from maturity. You seem to be oblivious to the history of the US as pertaining to Israel and our role there. You would assess an entire population to be inexplicably and unjustifiably hateful and aggressive, . . . . -for nothing.

    Can we all agree that in view of our 20 Trillion debt and the policy of "America First" we should stop giving Billions to Israel. Obama agree to give them 38 Billion in military aid over 10 years in return for their promise not to seek additional aid from Congress. What a deal. Over the years we have given 50 Billion to Israel in return for what exactly?

    America First would mean keeping our Middle East allies happy and content.

    Not causing more trouble.

    The ignorance of people regarding "the history of the US as pertaining to Israel" is truly astounding.

    the vote was not condemnation of Israel, it was condemnation of Trumps idiotic move, they think this will hurt peace negotiations, as in Trump's move hurts Isreal

    I agree Trump supporters with TDS should be avoided, as it's catchy

    John Kelly went into this admin with a impeccable record, look at him now

    It gets Congress needed campaign contributions from the Israeli lobby. And if a congressman were to advocate ending the annual gifts to Israel, it would be the end of that congressman's career.

    It would be far more efficient to pay them directly.....
    not to mentions to pay them to do other things, that benefit the US.

    Fix the highways and bridges. Something even the dotard acknowledged that it's just crap.

    How would engineers , weapons builders and the like have the skills to dig holes , pave roads.


    And why oh why would they want to travel months on end away from their homes?


    And btw the way a typical lefty take away their jobs and say the government just came to help you sit on your butts be unproductive and here is a check .

    It actually takes engineers to build roads and bridges.

    /facedesk


    It was Trump's own idea to pump in a trillion bucks in the failing infrastructure of the US.
    You calling him left?

    And what does the infrastructure have to do with military manufacturing jobs?



    Hire a bunch of unemployed minority's on welfare to dig trenches..
