Ask anyone aware, what is the capital of Israel?
Of course he’ll say Jerusalem. On every map it is so labeled
And being there you’d have no doubt, not difficult at all to tell
The beautiful Knesset, seat of Jewish government enabled
That Trump acknowledged what exists changed really nothing on the ground
For one and seventy tough years it’s been the nation’s capital
So why the fuss Trump’s declaration seemed to cause the globe around?
Why does this force the Muslim world to act in ways inimical?
As well, the Western World’s response is one of hyper condemnation
And Palestinians reply: this kills the dual-state solution
Why, then, did Trump announce this now, what was his likely motivation?
He spoke for evangelicals to help Roy Moore win his election
Although I’m loathe to like his motive, I’m not negative on his deed
Arab Muslims will complain but that will shortly taper down
Our embassies in Muslim lands, increased defense they’ll have to heed
Demonstrations will diminish since no changes on the ground
What about Jerusalem and talks on Palestinian statehood
The declaration doesn’t change the stalemates of negotiations
Nor their possible solutions. Let these words be understood:
Jerusalem will always be the Capital of the Jewish nation
12/6/17
The US is the first government since Rome in 2000 years to recognize Jerusalem as the Jewish capital. Truth is a precondition for, and will enable a lasting peace. I look forward to the day when we Cohanim are re-employed in the Temple speedily in our days.
That’s an interesting fact. Thanks
