(JNS.org) Jonathan S. Tobin - According to the Wall Street Journal, what Trump might do is recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and announce plans for the embassy move, but make it clear that won't happen for several years. In the interim, the U.S. ambassador could work in Jerusalem and peace talks could resume. This would merely recognize reality. Jerusalem has been Israel's capital since 1949. The map put forward by the 1947 UN Partition Plan resolution, that set aside the holy city as an international zone, has been a dead letter for 70 years. The move would put the Palestinians on notice that their decades of denial of the legitimacy of a Jewish state and its historic ties to Jerusalem will no longer be tolerated. It would be a symbolic gesture aimed at reminding them that their century-long war on Zionism must end. The conflict will only really cease when the Palestinians get the message from an international community that has enabled their rejectionism that it is no longer willing to keep playing the same game. Peace will never come except by jolting the Palestinians into accepting reality. 2017-12-04 00:00:00Full Article
