Oppose moving the embassy because you want it as a trump, think Jerusalem should not be Israeli at all, or because it will anger Sunni allies? Fine, make that case. Spare me the stupid scare mongering about violence and bloodshed.
Those are arguments that it's in Israel's interest. But not necessarily the United States' (unless you're claiming there's no distinction between the two).

No. If a peace deal is in the US's interests, & getting the Palestinians past 48 is necessary to one (it is), then 1 is in the US's interests

And making clear we won't be leveraged by threats of violence is always in the US's interests

The US hasn’t kept its embassy in Tel Aviv because it’s backing down to threats, but because it would hinder the likelihood of successful negotiations. That being said, I’m very skeptical we’ll see successful negotiations one way or the other.
