Palestinians angered by Trump 'undivided Jerusalem' comments
PA officials harshly condemn Trump's avowal to reverse longstanding US and UN policy and recognize united Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Palestinian leaders Monday accused Donald Trump of abandoning any hope of a two-state solution after the Republican candidate said he would recognise Jerusalem as Israel's "undivided" capital if he won the US presidential election. Trump pledged Sunday during a meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu he would recognise Israel's claim over Arab east Jerusalem, which would break with decades of precedent and put Washington at odds with most UN member states.

The official policy of the United States has been to refrain from recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and to consider all neighborhood beyond the 1949 armistice line such as Ramat Shlomo, Ramot, Gilo, Neve Yaakov, and many others as "settlements" located on "occupied territory," even as the reality on the ground has changed to render this division entirely arbitrary. This is also the policy of the vast majority of other countries. Trump has now vowed to reverse this longstanding American policy.

"Trump's statement shows disregard for international law (and) longstanding US foreign policy regarding the status of Jerusalem," Saeb Erekat, secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), said in a statement. "Previous statements delivered by his adviser on Israel show a total abandonment of the two-state solution, international law, and UN resolutions." The Palestinian foreign ministry issued a statement criticizing Trump as well as his Democrat rival in November's election, Hillary Clinton, accusing her of overly favoring Israel at the expense of the Palestinians.

My comment

The Muslim harping over this issue is reflective of the controversy between Issac/Jacob/ Israel and Ishmael/Esau/Edom still ongoing after centuries of contention

This is biblical to the max and the Lord will ultimately have His way [Genesis 12:1-3; Psalms 83; Ezekiel 36; 38; 39; Micah 4:1-3; 5; Obadiah 1:1-21]

What is ironic about all of this is that the American political involvement on either side has no idea of the real substance of the matter and the Lord's intent

I hope if he is elected, he stands behind his statement, and backs it up with action, not mere words.

What would Trump actually do? .... no one knows for sure .... his comments may be for political vote grabbing

My guess would be that he will support Israel for strategic balance against the Muslims since he sees and is against the dangers of Muslim immigration and intransigence in the US

What would Hillary do? ... she will carry on with Obama's Muslim bias against Israel and the "two state" solution idea which is a total and unrealistic folly .... nothing but a Muslim ploy to weaken and eventually destroy Israel

What will the Lord do? .... if we are close to the end of this present age [the time of the end] He will first subject Israel for the pressuring by the Muslim scourge to turn a remnant of Israel for His purposes [Jeremiah 30; Ezekiel 20:33-34]

Then He will force the Muslim invasion and occupation of Israel, Jerusalem, and the temple mount to the battle of Armageddon and obliterate them [Psalms 83; Ezekiel 38; 39; Daniel 11:41; Joel 2:20; 3;9-21; Micah 5;5-6; Zechariah 12; 13; 14; Matthew 24;15-16; Revelation 11;2; 12:6; 12:14; 13:1-4; 14:14-20; 16:1-21; 19:11-21]

Wait till he moves the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem that will really send them frothing at the mouth. He has already said he will do that and America will be greatly blessed for it.

 

[Straightshot]

I would like to see Trump win, but we will have to wait and how this thing plays out

 

[daygo]

Trumps win will only delay things while Clinton win will be the final nail in the coffin imo.

The Palestinians should be mad, they fell for a lie that has been shoved on them for decades. But being mad at the truth is being mad at all the wrong things. They need to be mad at their leaders who perpetuated this lie and asked them to die for it, kept them in poverty for it. You can't fit Gods will, it is futile.
