Trumps decision does not preclude the Palestinians potentially also having a capital in east Jerusalem sometime if the future, if and when they establish a state.
Additionally there is no scenario, in any peace deal, where Jerusalem would not be the capital of Israel. There is zero possibility that Israel will abandon the Knesset, its govt offices, the Supreme Court bldg, the PMs residence,Hebrew University, Haddassah hospital etc all of which are located in Jerusalem.
Every recent President from Clinton to Bush to Obama have publicly stated that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel .
That Jerusalem is and will be the capital of Israel is simply reality. Trump is just keeping his promise and the congress and senate have both overwhelmingly voted for the embassy move.

Jerusalem is the capital for both the Jews and the Palestinians, but Trump is using this to support his base. Bad timing.

Could it be that in part, that concepts such as religion, money, music.... which had been developed and evolving since the beginning of time are tools used to influence the strong to fend for the weak. If so, it could mean that the church, capitalist and the entertainer maybe viewed as charities and that they should not have position to dictate on this earth.

This is Trymp stirring the pot. Does it have to happen right now? The Middle East troubles have been happening for decades. This is NOT the path to peace.

Jerusalem belongs to Israel since time immemorial. There never was any country called Palestine
