These are interesting new spins since the last regime and we were celebrating a new embassy location.

Who exactly is this collective “we” you are referring to? I presume to speak for none but myself.

FWIW, it is my position that as a sovereign nation, Israel has the right to place it’s capital where it sees fit. With that in mind, it is a matter to be neither celebrated nor criticized.

I further have long maintained that perpetual U.S. meddling in the entire region actually undermines Israeli sovereignty and the Israeli government’s ability to protect its citizens. What Ron Paul said in 2011 applies equally to the current crisis in Israel today:

Q: “Would you support if Israel attacked to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons?”

A: “…We interfere with them when they deal with their borders, when they want to have peace treaties. We tell what they can do because we buy their allegiance and they sacrifice their sovereignty to us. Then they decide they want to bomb something, that's their business…

When they bombed the Iraqi missile sites, uh, nuclear site back in the 80s, I was one of the few in Congress that said it's none of our business and Israel should take care of themselves. Israel has 200, 300 nuclear missiles and they can take care of themselves…

Why should we have this automatic commitment that we’re going to send our kids and send our money to Israel? So I think they're quite capable of taking care of themselves. Israel, that whole thing is going to backfire once we go bankrupt and we should be very cautious in our willingness to go to war and send troops without proper declaration by the US Congress…”
