    jerusalem isnt the recognized capital of israel? it says that it is in all my atlases and such.

    i would say it is- just not for a few arab nations.

    When the most persecuted group in history comes up against yet another enraged group of "Death-to-Israel" Islamic militants who victimise themselves when their agression is responded to with the full retaliation of the most effective fighting nation pound for pound in the world, I know who I support.

    it does.

    No seriously
    Ok this time seriously
    Right then Furunculus , where are they ?

    jerusalem isnt the recognized capital of israel?

    no it isn't , because Jerusalem is not recognised as a legally established part of the country .
    i would say it is- just not for a few arab nations.
    No its not by anyone .
    That is why there are no embassies there , Italy Greece and America have consulates in Jerusalem but their actual embassies are in what they recognise as the legal capital.....Tel-Aviv .
    I suppose its a bit like Israel having a consulate in Taipai but an embassy in Beijing , the people in Taipai may call it the capital of China but it isn't really the case is it .

    East Jerusalem is, not the entirity of it.

    I'm pretty sure Tel Aviv is meant to be that capitol of Israel but after the war Israel decided to keep the city as their little war trophy. In reality as the original partition suggests Jerusalem should be a U.N administrated neutral city but hey, Israel just thought they'd keep it. Jerusalem shouldn't even be in their hands but hey as the ruling Israelis would say "land, land , land."

    Of course we don't think it belongs to Israel, Palestinians had to go through metal detectors to enter the second holiest mosque in Islam. Not only that, but they were massacred in it.
    Frankly, I don't put the whole blame on Israel due to what happened recently, just most of it. I admire the fact that a single Israeli is enough for them to go crazy. At least they're not sitting on their asses while their brothers are being massacred.

    And now the Islamic New Year won't be celebrated anywhere, not even in Dubai!

    IDF Youtube channel - showing videos from planes striking targets among others. So be forewarned.

    Eventually, even the arab street would begin to villify Hamas and others if they were killing innocents without either a) destabilizing Israel or b) drawing a response.
    That could be a long, long time.

    Eh, he is correct about Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as you can read here.

    Jerusalem is only the capital of Israel in the minds of people who ignore everybody else's thoughts on the matter. Such people should not be surprised about the constant war over there since they obvioulsy choose to ignore how everybody else feels about their deeds.
    If you do whatever you want and ignore what others say and then start whining that others don't support you, you just look like a little child that doesn't get it's way, the conservative way to deal with that would be a hard slap in the face...

    no, i believe that its the capital of israel, and i dont ignore your opinions. i read them, and i think most are valid points, not including this one. that doesnt make me dumb or blind to the matter- i realize that israel has done some pretty apprehensible things, but i believe that they were done for the betterment of the state.
