Ancient Jerusalem in the 21st Century

Al-Qaida declares holy war against the U.S. over Trump’s Jerusalem decision  "Street protests were expected Friday across the Arab world Hundreds of Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia protested outside U.S. Embassies"

So what's different from before? When the World Trade Center was destroyed, Jerusalem was not officially called Israel's capital. 
Watch for an alliance between militant Islam and North Korea. TD

 . . . "President Trump knows hardball negotiations, and feels no guilt at all at pressing for the interests of the United States and its allies. Now that the world is seeing the brand-new American postyre, we can expect the behavior of our foes to change. I am not yet “tired of winning” and I expect more gains to be made in the Middle East over the next three years than have been made in the last three decades. No less than Osama bin Laden noted that when people see a “strong horse” they naturally are attracted."

America spent the past eight -plus years being the weak horse, enduring taunts and mockery from Russian planes and Iranian combat boats buzzing US warships in defiance of Obama and "his" military. But I digress...

'Jerusalem, Israel' has a nice embassy-sounding ring to it   "The recent announced decision by President Trump formally designating Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel has generated a storm of protest, mainly from left-leaning American groups and newspapers, as well as predominantly Muslim countries.  Setting aside for a moment whatever one might think of the president in general, his action in this particular case deserves some thoughtful consideration." . . .

"Israel has shown itself to be a positive contributor to world sustenance and health.  Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish State, has been since 1948, and will remain so for the foreseeable future.  It deserves recognition as such by the world's community of nations."

Haley: Israel will never be bullied into an agreement . . . "Haley added the UN has done "much more to damage the prospects for Middle East peace than to advance them."
" 'We will not be a party to that. The United States no longer stands by when Israel is unfairly attacked in the United Nations. And the United States will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both Israelis and Palestinians fairly,” she stressed.

"Haley further noted that Trump and his administration remain committed to the two-state solution, as long as that’s what the sides agree on. The Jerusalem decision doesn't change this, she stressed." . . .
