Trump makes it clear: he's AGAINST ending the Israel/Palestine conflict.

There is no other conclusion that you can draw from his insistence on moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

He knows endorsing Netayanhu's demand for ALL of the city means opposing peace...he knows that peace is impossible unless the Palestinian capital is East Jerusalem-yet he chooses, as he always chooses, conflict and chaos over reconciliation and hope.

Go back to the old "international city" concept that was originally proposed and that, at the time, neither side was prepared to accept.

Something has to change, because the status quo can't be maintained and this can't be ended by military "victory" in the sense that that concept used to exist in the West.
