1. USA will make Jerusalem the recognized capital of Israel
neri holzer ,   New york   (01.07.17)
USA and Israel should provide a fait accompli with Jerusalem as the US recognized capital, and secure border for Israel including most of he settlements. The US should sign a mutual defense treaty with Israel, and disabuse the Arabs from the idea that they will have any chance to destroy Israel in the future.
Israel should also try to promote this in Congress before the Democrats have any chance to return to power because they will surely sacrifice Israel to he Muslim wolves.
2. Shangri La
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (01.07.17)
Jerusalem, the capital of two countries (Israel and Palestine). Why not?
3. Don't understand - isn't there an U.S. Embassy already in
barbara ,   Haifa   (01.07.17)
Jerusalem? Checked computer and there is already
an American Embassy in Jerusalem. In fact, there is an U.S. embassy / consulate in each large city - Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa. So what is the big deal?
4. war
gyl ,   paris   (01.07.17)
Arab world has long ago declared war at Israel and USA,along with christianity
5. popping up again & again and nothing to add!
tiki ,   belgium   (01.07.17)
Kerry, go home already. You have done your damage, so please stop your warnings. You didn't listen when others warned you about your failed policies for which the world will have to pay collectively for years to come.
6. Explosian
Jim ,   American   (01.07.17)
What difference does it make, Those people are like a Pack of Dingos! They even kill their own Family members, They even kill other Arabs because they attend a different Mosque. Move it then deal with those low life people! They breed like Dairy Flies anyway so they will be replaced in 9 months!
7. KERRY THE BIGGEST DETRIMENT TO PEACE
EZEKIAL HAIM ,   LONDON   (01.07.17)
Kerry has become a spokesperson and a mouth peace for the Palestinian authority and has taken on their role of incitement to violence and terrorism.That is a revelation that he was suppressing himself all the while when he thought he could negotiate peace.Now he thinks that he can negotiate peace by proxy but every time he opens his mouth about Israel he is unwittingly polarizing the political situation.Kerry seems to be the most ignorant politician and does not understand negotiations. The middle east was in flames repeatedly when the Arabs tried to destroy Israel and it was not America that saved Israel but it was Israel itself.Kerry ,you need to stop talking trash and instead go into the trashcan of history.
8. Kerry, puppet for the Saudis.
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.07.17)
The region DID explode- in '48, in '67, in '73, etc., etc. And in each case, the Arabs were to blame and there was no embassy-in-Jerusalem talk.

Move the office to Jerusalem. Let the world know that the USA recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Let the Arabs moan and groan, for all the good it will do them. Kerry is a disgrace to the office. On his watch, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been slaughtered and millions made refugees, Muslim psycho-militias kidnap and murder with impunity and Muslim terrorists attack the west at will. And the BEST Kerry can manage is to blame some future housing initiative in Jerusalem as the cause of the world's malaise! The man is either stupid beyond belief, or in the pay of his Muslim masters.

The Arab world had better wake up very quickly; the days of Obama bowing and kissing the hands of Arab leaders is over. Abbas will find a cold reception in Washington, and it won't be because it's winter.
9. Kerry continues with his threats against the Jewish state
C   (01.07.17)
he will continue with his threats for as long as he can talk.

at the same time, he refuses to take responsibility for the
implosion of the middle east, for the genocides, for the
failed states, for russian ascendency in the region.
he continues to claim falsely that the fake iran deal
is good for the us, good for israel, good for the world;
kerry refuses to acknowledge the strong nuclear ties
between the shia terror regime and the north korean
nuclear state.
kerry/obama represent in the us socialist, pro-muslim, especially
pro-shia elements. what they preach publicly has nothing
to do with reality but with their own ideology.
the muslims will always find reasons to explode and to attack
israel, the us and the west. the saudis/gulf states and shia
iran will continue on the war path to destroy western
civilization.
they have coopted members of western elites with influence
and money to carry their threats to the ordinary people.
muslims are supremacists and imperialists to this day.
they have never had an enlightenment or a reformation
and they are proud of that.
of course, it is ultimately all a matter of wealth and power.
they will murder as many of their fellow muslims as
necessary to keep the wealth and the power.
10. Kerry is an obstacle to peace
desertstraw ,   California   (01.07.17)
He encourages Arabs to think that threats of violence gets results. In this case he seems to encourage Palestinians to think that they will get west Jerusalem where the embassy will be.
11. In the past, I would have opposed such a move
Cameron   (01.08.17)
No longer.

Absolutely exhausted with Arab intransigence & behavior in the ME.

Enough is enough.

Moving the embassy to Jerusalem might be just the right kind of fire lit under the Arab/Pali rump to finally drop the endless BS and seriously scurry for honest and real negotiations over the issues.

Trump is certainly the boy with the stones to make such a move happen.

His move.....who could stop him?
12. Been there, done that. Grow a pair Mr. Kerry.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (01.08.17)
13. No matter what, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel
Dov ,   USA   (01.08.17)
14. Not much is left in Middle East to explode
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.08.17)
Arabs have been doing a good job in exploding everything everywhere in the region and outside.
15. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (01.08.17)
16. Kerry is a spokesman for the Muslims
C   (01.08.17)
he has been an enemy of the civilised world his an entire adult life.
