1. Mogherini should be told "her" Rome in reality belongs to ev
ab   (12.14.17)
ery Catholic in the World, yet another Holy City.Or at least to Ireland ,a Catholic country
2. Not clear how "entrenches the extreme Israeli right"
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (12.14.17)
Rosen just throws this phrase in to satisfy extreme Jewish Left.
3. You very well know why,,,,,,,
Rob ,   Wash. D.C.   (12.14.17)
the outcry. These peoples are not Jews/Hebrews. The ancient Hebrews, the Hebrews of the biblical narrative are extinct. there is not one person on this planet that can trace male nor female accurately beyond 12 generations, blood lines become so diluted and mixed we always become something new like the new man made "state" of Israel.
4. Palestinians want to rally world against Israel
Sam ,   Montreal   (12.14.17)
The Palestinians are trying to create an hysteria so as to rally Arabs and other Muslims to fight Israel. As well, they want to rally the West to sanction and boycott Israel. They want to punish the fearful US diplomats by snubbing them.
The Palestinians are just playing everyone for a bunch of fools. They are a bunch of nobodies using the fear of Muslim terrorism to get everyone to toe the Palestinian line.
5. We could have had permanent peace 3 decades ago
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.14.17)
The only real obstacle to peace has always been Israel's failure to treat "Palestinians" as the defeated foes they are. History proves real enduring peace is based on resounding military victories. Permanent peace, throughout Europe and Asia, following the WW II Allies' great victory is a classic example.

Following Israel's defeat of the terrorist P.L.O., and its exile, Israel was on the brink of real permanent peace. The lunatic Labor Party destroyed peace by reversing Israel's great victory over "Palestinians", rescuing the P.L.O. and offering it much of Israel during the Oslo Disaster.

The path to real permanent peace is clear. Israel needs to tear up Oslo and deal with "Palestinians" as the defeated mortal foes they are.
6. Reality check
Jacob Edelman ,   New York, NY   (12.14.17)
The fact that over the past 50 years neither the US nor the rest of the world has recognized Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel should tell you something. Now the fact that an idiotic person, alone in the world, has done so should tell you something. You can for all you want live in a dream for as long as you want. There is time for waking up too!
7. I don't know what everyone else is crying about...
Alegra Cohen ,   Israel   (12.14.17)
I am crying about the fact that as a USA citizen born in Jerusalem, Israel my USA birth certificate and my USA passport say I was born in "Jerusalem, Jerusalem"
I have always wondered where this "Jerusalem, Jerusalem" place is...and now
I am wondering when all these officials are going to stop telling me stories and when they are going to get down to correcting my USA Citizen Born Abroad Certificate and my USA Passport.
8. Prophecy
Dik van den Dool ,   Spijkenisse Holland   (12.14.17)
The prophet Zacharia prophecied in ch. 12 vs 2,3 words of the Lord,, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling and a burdenstone formule all nations and people around. Shalom from Holland
9. S. BenA$$i = use of argumentum ad hominum
a reader   (12.16.17)
if he had anything subtantive to say he'd agree with Alegra Cohen at #7. and to agree with her, he'd have to kick down his god (POTUS 45) down from the pedestal he's put him up on! ha! ha!
