Alan Dershowitz: Why Trump is right in recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital

President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is a perfect response to former President Barack Obama’s benighted decision to change American policy by engineering the United Nations Security Council resolution declaring Judaism’s holiest places in Jerusalem to be occupied territory and a “flagrant violation under international law.” It was Obama who changed the status quo and made peace more difficult, by handing the Palestinians enormous leverage in future negotiations and disincentivizing them from making a compromised peace.

  1. I disagree as does Putin stating East Salem (Jerusalem) is the
    capital of the future Palestinian state not a Mongolian state.
    No sovereignty in occupied territory by occupiers.
    Gasps as Trump slurred during speech though I did not think
    the slurred speech at the end of the speech very significant.
    Looks like something is in his mouth, rolling around.
