What purpose does it serve other than to basically "flip the bird" at the people who disagree? We could have kept quiet and our relationship with Israel would've still been as strong as it ever was. I'm not arguing the point of whether or not Jerusalem should be considered the capital. I'm saying, why did we even have to get into this mess by stating publicly that we did recognize it?

A better question is why the rest of the world is angry at our choice of putting an embassy in a country's capital. When has any country EVER questioned the placement of an embassy before now?

Frankly I hope the next time one of those countries has a natural disaster or is invaded, the US just says "good luck getting Palestinian aid."

 

When that territory that city sits on, is being disputed. This is a real "hot-button" issue in the middle east and once more, we stuck our nose into somewhere it doesn't belong.
