What Trump's Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel Means

Eric Margolis writes:

And here is Margolis on why Trump did it:







  1. Palestinians don't have a voice in anything that happens. Since Israel's establishment, they have been making and breaking agreements as it benefits them, and creating "facts on the ground" that contradict previous agreements. Unilaterally.

    For both sides (and the world), it is now officially a one-state solution. For Palestinians, it is now more than just a human rights issue, it is now a civil rights struggle: One person, one vote.

    Let Israel decide, again unilaterally, is it going to be a democratic state with equal political rights for all (including all Palestinians)? Or is it going to be a Jewish state, with the demographics leaving no option for democracy?

    1. Well, around here, we generally look at democracy as the god that failed.

    2. My worry is that violence is going to explode. For decades, the PLO and Fatah were told... They only way to get anything is through negotiations. Three decades later, young Palestinians have seen through that ruse after this announcement. I worry about the future.
