So we will just lend credence to Israel's claim on Jerusalem. But if you wanna come back and talk, we can still discuss this." The quotes from Trump and Nut-in-honey-yahoo seem to indicate this.
It could pay off big or fail miserably for the Prez. I'll give him credit for trying a new approach, anyway.
This. We've been trying the same bullshit for close to eighty years with zero progress. Something drastic needs to be done. You're never going to convince religious zealots with logic and you'll never get them to compromise. You have to "hurt" them and show zero tolerance for their crap. Unfortunately, all the Arab world seems to respect is strength and those unabashed at wielding it with impunity.
