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.

? Both Bush and Obama had summits and meetings. Not saying it means anything but it's standard American procedure and has been since 1949.

I know that. But they held those meetings aiming to achieve something. What I don’t see is how shifting the balance further towards the stronger side serves that goal.

The US gave Israel, technically the "stronger side," enormous amounts of military aid in 1969-73, which gave it the cushion to make concessions.

This is an example of why I brought up changes in recent decades. ‘73 is 44 years ago. On the other side from Israel were multiple more populous states. You don’t need the scare quotes. Israel is much, much stronger than the Palestinians.

Militarily, not politically/diplomatically, at least not until recently w/India breaking rank.
