re: Please help me understand moving the embassy to Jerusalem

If Jerusalem is more likely to be attacked by muslims (than Tel Aviv), then having our embassy there means an attack on IT is the same thing as an attack on US mainland.

So, we get to be involved in any offensive Israel responds with.

That's my two cents. I think they're pissed about how much more leverage it gives us in that regard.

Israel either IS or is NOT recognized by the rest of the world as the capital. If it is, we have every right to put it where we want.
