1. US embassy should stay in TA, because TA is real capital
ironbutterfly ,   israel   (01.28.17)
US is making a mistake.
Any embassy should be in the real capital of israel, in the economical, technological, business and cultural center of israel - Tel Aviv.
2. Thank you Yoaz. Jerusalem is our capital.

STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (01.28.17)
Sadly , jews are often their own worst enemy ,mainly due to a lack of self-confidence and faith.Go figure....
4. NEWSFLASH : ARAB REACTION
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (01.28.17)
Why worry about arabs being angry over moving an embassy? They are ALREADY angry . DUH.
5. What is min boggling is the fact, that antisemitic, Jewish
(01.28.17)
crews of Breaking Silence, Peace Now, Machsom Watch, B'tselem are roaming freely our Land. How they manage to find their volunteers is not a big mystery.....
6. Jerusalem, the oldest, the eternal & only capital of Israel.
tiki ,   belgium   (01.28.17)
As long as Israeli's call Paris, Berlin, London, Teheran, Amman etc. as recognized capitals, but hesitate to do the same for Jerusalem..............
they don't deserve a country.

Every proud citizen is proud of their country and it's Capital.

Time for Israel to stop being bashful, but demand this recognition.

One can only change something by changing yourself.

Stop renting premises in TA & Herzliah to foreign embassies..
7. The vast sane majority of Israel applaud Jerusalem move
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.28.17)
The answer to Hendel's question is self evident. There is no limit to Israeli leftist depravity. They attack against Israel's friends, and everything which is favorable to Israel, while licking the boots of Israel's foes. The Israeli left is dying to give away our sole tiny Homeland to our mortal "Palestinian" foes. Deep inside, Israeli leftists believe Israel has no right to exist.

The vast same majority of Israel applauds moving the U.S. embassy (and ultimately all embassies) to Jerusalem. We appreciate what a great friend we have in Donald Trump and the Republicans.
8. First of all....
Adler   (01.28.17)
President Trump said he will like to move the U.S.
embassy to Jerusalem during his campaign. Then as
a reaction to his comments. Palestinians and
some countries used the Unesco to pass a resolution
against Israel. After that came the resolution of the
UN security council, which the U.S. skip to veto. So all
this kind of articles shows not concern for the needs
and feelings of Jerusalem citizens regardless of
class, race or religion beliefs.
If the U.S. wants to move the embassy from tel aviv
to Jerusalem, no problem, but it will be perceived
as a political move and not exactly a diplomatic
strategy recognizing whatever you think is recognizing.
Jerusalem is a city of peace
and is the jewish capital of judaism and Israel.

9. If Haredim were curbed in their violations of law then
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.28.17)
Jerusalem could become attractive again to visitors. Until then, I will prefer the view from the Eiffel Tower and will sadly prefer the mayor and police of Paris.
10. delusional
joe ,   nyc   (01.29.17)
A child of four can see what you self haters are doing. You would rather divide what has no meaning to you or not even care if other countries have their embassies in what you call your capital city.

BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (02.04.17)
It might interest you to know that since 1995, Jerusalem has legally been designated as the Capitol of Israel.
The fact that other US presidents didn't make the move doesn't make it right.
Israel is 5,000 years old, the only reason that all of Jerusalem isn't already settled is due to the false notion that the pals MIGHT make peace and an agreement with Israel and, the pals claim falsely that Jerusalem is their capitol.
Which, we all know is pure fiction.
No Arab can live in peace with fellow Arabs, much less Jews.
Peace can't be reached with Arab pals and Jerusalem is and shall remain Israel eternal, undivided capitol of Jewish Israel.
KEEP BUILDING !! LET MY PEOPLE MOVE !!
