Very surprised cryin Chuck didn't go back on his word.
quote:
WASHINGTON — Though not a single Democratic member of Congress attended the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, and most objected to the move as harming the prospects for a two-state solution, the Democratic Senate leader praised the US president for following through on his campaign promise.
“In a long overdue move, we have moved our embassy to Jerusalem. Every nation should have the right to choose its capital,” said Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York. “I sponsored legislation to do this two decades ago, and I applaud President Trump for doing it.”

Too bad Schumer forgot he was against the Iran deal up until Trump pulled out of it

Trump did it which is why he (they) would oppose. Kind of like the Iran deal.

NEW YORK – Forty-four percent of American Jews do not want President Donald Trump to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the American Jewish Committee’s Survey of American Jewish Opinion published on Wednesday shows.
The survey, conducted annually, is based on telephone interviews carried out during August with a national sample of 1,000 Jews over age 18. Questions covered topics such as respondents’ political stances, their level of satisfaction with the US administration, antisemitism, US-Israel relations, Jewish identity and religious pluralism in Israel.
Respondents included 9% Orthodox Jews, 16% who identify with the Conservative movement, 31% Reform Jews, 2% Reconstructionists and a plurality of 39% who consider themselves “just Jewish.”
When asked about the embassy, a majority said they oppose moving it. Thirty-six percent responded that they would be in favor of this, but at a later date in conjunction with progress in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Only 16% believe the embassy should be moved immediately and 4% are not sure.

In government. Not some anonymous people from a phone poll.

I'm not...Trump probably told Chuck he'd let him off the hook for banging a HS cheerleader, then getting subsequent the kid aborted if he'd play ball.
Or maybe he's just taking the knee...

40 percent are under some weird fear of pissing off the Palestinians. Appeasement won’t work. Just piss em off

We have a shite load of American Jews with dual citizenship, some are very influential in US politics. Most American Jews that are active in US politics tend to fill advisory/staff/appointees such as ambassadorships...., here's just a few Jewish Americans with dual citizenship that worked in US politics in the early to mid 2000's from a Facebook link I found while googling American Jews with dual citizenship.
I'm not really sure how I feel about this dual citizenship thingy being involved in high level US politics but my gut says make up your damn mind and be an American or a Israeli.
