If there’s animosity towards the US it’s largely because we’ve taken sides on this, and now we’ve lost any claim to be honest brokers entirely.
As for the other stuff, they’re a desperate people and it’s a failed state.
I asked upthread what exactly the palestinians should do and the response was tumbleweeds.
The rest of the world is united in condemning much of Israel’s policy over palestine. Now, I’m aware that there are various handwaves for why the world takes that position, but thinking purely pragmatically for a moment, it’s not a positive message for the US to unconditionally back Israel over this: it makes us look both weak at negotiating (we got nothing for this concession) and tolerant of oppressive policies.
Hahahaha
Yes if only we could go back to the peaceful days when a republican was president #MMEGA
Aside from Israel they were all allied in condemning this recognition however.
Sure, and if trump had made clear in his speech that he was not suggesting all of Jerusalem is Israel’s then he could have avoided a lot of the fallout. Given the history, just declaring it the capital of Israel without disclaimers is essentially saying just that.
