...Jerusalem and Jewish Israel. Jerusalem has always been Jewish and always will. You Arabs are no superior race and you have no right whatsoever in stealing other nations' land and evict and ethnically cleanse the natives of the land. You Arabs can go to the South Pole instead to cool yourselves down. The very fact that you lie about my history and claim my land is a declaration of war and what you've said only confirms what I've said before: Israel needs to annihilate and wipe out all Arab states from the face of the earth. When Arabs are gone, the Middle East will turn into a paradise. Arabs belong in Arabia. Israel is not Arabia. Arabs don't belong in Egypt, North Africa, Syria, Lebanon or Iraq. Arabs don't belong in Europe, Israel, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Black Africa or Asia either. Stay in your sand pit called Arabia. That's where you Arabs belong and that's where you Arabs come from. Lebanon doesn't belong to Arabs. It used to belong to the Phoenicians. Unlike you Arabs, they were an advanced civilization.

Promises to move the embassy & that Jerusalem is Israel's capital we have heard many times before. It during the Clinton presidency that Congress said the embassy should be moved to Jerusalem but throughout the Clinton era, 8 years of Bush ( probably the most pro Israel president ever ) and 4 years of Obama and the president keeps using a veto not to move the embassy on the grounds of national security. During his election campaign Obama visted the Kotel and said Israel should remain Israel's undivided capital. The PA complained and he quickly reversed his statement to the future of Jerusalem should be negotiated between Israel & the palestinians in peace talks. Whilst Romney has not gone back on his statement because the palestinians objected if he wins the election ( which is unlikely ) don't expect him to stick to those promises he made whilst on the campaign trail. The only thing we can be sure of is Obama is against Jerusalem staying Israel's capital.
64. Romney can declare that New York
John Robey ,   austin, Texas   (07.30.12)
is the capital of Israel but it does not make it so. He is just pandering for votes. I will now vote for Obama since I see that he puts his own election ahead of what is in the country's best interests. Actually Israel's interests as well are best served with an American government that can be a mediator and that is percieved as being some what even handed.
65. #64 Indeed...
Tahl   (07.30.12)
If Romney would declare NYC as Israel's capital, It would certainly not make it so. But he didn't. He declared JERUSALEM as our capital, and he was 100% correct - based on 3000 years of history, and based on the simple facts on the ground today. Do you have a problem with the truth?
66. Romney did not declare any such thing
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.30.12)
We declared Jersualem to be our capital in 1949. Governor Romney affirmed that he too believes that fact. No foreigners have the right to tell us what our lands or even capital are.

One person's "debacle" is another person's great redemption. After 2,000 years of exile and persecution unparalleled in human history, the Jewish people were restored to their homeland. And if you think we are going to allow a bunch of whiny and violent terrorist scum to dislodge us from our birthright -- think again. Deal with it. That's the only reality there is. If you don't like it -- tough. Cry me a river, why don't you?

"6) Jewish/Israelite history started 2000 B.C.E in Israel - 4000 years ago" - 4000 years of land ownership and nothing except your fairy tales to prove it. To add an insult to injury the only King of Israel that left any visible proof of his reign like Second Jewish Temple, Caesarea or Masada among other places was King Herod the Great a son of an ARAB mother, using Roman architects and Arab craftsmen.
