1. and the cost would be?
steve s   (01.05.17)
Jerusalem is crowded ....... very crowded. How many families/businesses will be displaced in order to get enough land to build an embassy? How much would it cost to build? The security system costs, alone, would be astronomical. Are the US taxpayers willing to spend $100 million or more just to prove a point? I have no doubt that figure may be ridiculously low and half a billion dollars would be more realistic. And no doubt the US taxpayers would never get a proper explanation of the cost for "national security" reasons. And how much has been invested in the embassy in Tel Aviv ...... hundreds of millions? Will that have to be razed? That's another $50 million. Does that come out of petty cash?
2. US Embassy to Jerusalem YESSS!!!!

3. Mr. Cruz failed in his bid to be POTUS....

Why should we listen to this trouble - making loser?
4. Jews: Smarten up and support our Republican friends!
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.05.17)
It is remarkable that Jews have such loyal, great friends among Republicans. Dumb American Jews keep insanely showering their money and votes on hostile, destructive Democrats, while abandoning wonderful friends such as Trump and Cruz. Jews: smarten up and support our Republican friends. Cruz is working hard to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. No Democrat would do that.
5. Raphael LEVY on FB is accustomed to doing this every day

6. U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem would be bad for Israel

Tel Aviv portrays the Western side of Israel whereas in Jerusalem the diplomats would see the Eastern side. Perhaps some will get a better understanding but most will get annoyed.
