Don't worry, it will never happen, just some election stunt by a failed used cars seller.
2. yes
niall ,   eilat   (01.06.17)
without usa and israel, jordan falls
koj hussein red lines are as relevant as potus hussein red lines
3. His father was a good king. He's a jerk about to be deposed.
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.06.17)
He's trying to curry favor with the Arab 'street.' Too bad that nobody thinks this 'king' has any influence on anyone. ISIS will overthrow him at their leisure.

The USA should have moved the embassy decades ago, but US presidents were gutless and spineless appeasers to the Arab oil cartel.

Well, that's no longer the case. The USA doesn't need any Arab oil. We can produce it ourselves. As the idiotic Arabs force oil prices higher, the only result will be to make it financially worthwhile for every minor oil player and all the oil shale players to ramp up production- and force prices lower and for the Arabs out of the American market.


Make the move to Jerusalem. Abbas and ilk haven't wanted peace in decades- they want the physical land of Israel- all of it. If the world doesn't appear to give two poops about 400,000 deaths in Syria, nobody gives a damn about some whining 'Palestinians.' That's the simple truth: whining 'Palestinians' have had 60 years to make peace with Israel- but they always find an excuse not to. That's because they don't want peace- they want Israel. The King of Jordan (the real Palestine), is a coward, plain and simple.
4. Israel gets Jerusalem and ISIS gets Jordan.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (01.06.17)
5. It won't be happening
Carol ,   NYC   (01.06.17)
Trump just wants to get David Friedman out of his hair, so it's like sending him to Siberia.

No matter what Congress says or does, it ain't happening.
6. Worry not, Little King, we'll think of something when we
(01.06.17)
cross that "line" :-))
7. this is a very bad move
C   (01.05.17)
it is not wise by jordan to draw attention to an issue such as Jerusalem
while it is being attacked by murderous terrorists.
furthermore, jordan cannot dictate policy to the united states.
8. While we're talking about it, maybe it's time to stop...
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (01.06.17)
Them being custodians of the Temple Mount, which they don't allow Jews to pray at or Israeli Jews to visit. Anti-semitism allowed by the Israeli government at the holiest site in Judaism!
9. Jordan says moving US Embassy to Jerusalem is 'red line'
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (01.06.17)
Rather like the yellow line running down Obama's back.
What does Jordan think they can do?
Takeover Jerusalem, Invade Washington...who makes up this nonsense
10. Israel should tear up peace treaty with Jordan
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (01.06.17)
Jordan controls 80% of our homeland in direct violation of international law - the San Remo treaty and the Anglo-American treaty. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is an illegal state built the British empire, built in our land and at our expense and against our will. The Hashemite royal family of Jordan originates from Saudi Arabia. They cannot even accept and recognize our capital of Jerusalem and they won't even allow Israeli or Jewish tourists to practice Judaism in Jordan.

Jordanians hav repeatedly attacked our Israeli embassy in Amman.

It's time to tear up the "peace treaty" with Jordan, conquer Jordan, claim Jordan, expel the Jordanians to Saudi Arabia, and annex Jordan.

Enough is enugh.
11. Please correct thet text: The holiest place for judaism is..
yechezkel ,   jerusalem, Israel   (01.06.17)
the holiest place for judaism is not the western wall! Is the temple mount!
12. Wouldn't i be something if the US embassy
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (01.06.17)
was moved to the site of the "Dome of the Rock?"
That would be one well worth watching news item.
About 'red lines' after limp waisted obama, they don't have any meaning.
13. # 5 Carol Don't bet on it.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (01.06.17)
What IF it does happen?
What then oh swami?

15. Hey Avi, want to compare your achievements with Trump's??
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.06.17)
Hey Avi, Trump almost certainly achieves more every day than you've achieved in your entire life.
16. Jordan is in no position to set red lines
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.06.17)
Jordan is in no position to issue red lines to either America or Israel. Jordan occupies almost 80% of our Jewish Homeland, and its position is not sustainable.
17. SUADIS STOLE JORDAN FROM PALIS AND NOW THIS?
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (01.06.17)
These idiots never learn anything. They lost the war, lost land and now they think they have any saying over anythign that happens in Isarel. In the meantime, they can't even keep their own cray Jihadists in check.
18. An irresponsible business serial failure - 1
Avi L.   (01.08.17)
An irresponsible business serial failure to whom US banks don't (didn't) lend anymore money, the only candidate who didn't to show his IRS sheet, who already reneged from a number of main campaign "selling points" ... come on the list is already too long even before he takes service.

A guy who calls "enemies" Americans citizens (his actual employers, who will pay his salary) who "dare" criticizing him?

Really hope, from the depth of the heart to be utterly wrong, but this guy will be the hugest Free World undertaker, lil' Bush will pale in front of him.

Anybody noticed how after the US expelled russian KGB, Donald punished the US expelling US ambassadors from key nations?

How he promised to sink the F-35? The F35 isn't very good, but it's still the best US have (BTW nobody even knows where F-22 tools are)... what best for URSS and China to have it removed?

How on these two points Donald acted as if he were some KGB puppet? At least it's a reasonable suspicion.
19. An irresponsible business serial failure - 2
Avi L.   (01.08.17)
Anybody really believe that Donald will bring US ambassy to Jerusalem? Come on ... "business sense" will prevail.

By the way your president is regularly insulting and bullying US Citizens on social media, knowing very well that common taxpayers can't do the same to him ... knowing very well that out there a good number of deranged people are prone to take these insults to private citizens as pretext to "intervene", harassing or worst.

This just shows how Donald sees the world, "his" "personal" enemies or followers, this makes of him an easily object of manipulation, add to this his galactically inflated ego and the world got some catastrophic mix just waiting to explode.

This said, Donald voters are totally understandable in their choice, they vented their anger at a system that didn't give a dried turd of them.

They voted against those who from the top of Wall Street buildings ransacked the whole world for their own private and egoist profit, those who looked down on common people, those who from the top of their PhD had the arrogance to understand and lead the Free World with a binary (good/bad) unrealistic outlook propping up and justifying the Wall Street robbers.

But Donald is not the solution, he is part of the problem, he is part of the Big Money Party, the same party that invented the Tea Party, all sentiments, no rationality, dressed up as some carnival background actor, who will follow some prophetic leader.

Wish the best to the majority of Donald voters, excepted those KKK amd white suprematist piece of ****.
