    Palestinian Christians Burn Trump Posters In Bethlehem In Fury Over Embassy


    Joshua Gill
    12/06/2017

    Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem burned posters of President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening in furious protest against Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
    The Christians burned posters featuring Donald Trump’s face and the text “Jerusalem, Palestine’s heart, is not up to negotiations,” joining hundreds of other Palestinians who gathered in Gaza and Ramallah to burn similar posters and U.S. flags, according to the Daily Mail. The Palestinians protested Trump’s imminent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, which Trump is expected to officially announce in a Wednesday address at 1 p.m.

    The Palestinian displacement/refugees & descendents is now second...
    only knocked out of it's top slot
    by the just recent Syrian displacement/refugees.

    There are over 2 million in Jordan... and another half million in Lebanon / half million in Syria.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_refugees

    The term "Palestine refugees" originally referred to both Arabs and Jews whose normal place of residence had been in Mandatory Palestine but were displaced and lost their livelihoods as a result of the 1948 Palestine war.[9] The UNRWA definition of the term includes the patrilineal descendants of the original "Palestine refugees", but is limited to persons residing in UNRWA's areas of operation in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.[9][10] In 2012, there were an estimated 4,950,000 registered patrilineal descendants of the original "Palestine refugees",[10] based on the UNRWA registration requirements,[2][3][11][12] of which an estimated 1.5 million lived in UNRWA camps.[13] The number of original refugees "who meet UNRWA's Palestine Refugee criteria" was 711,000 in 1950[1] of which approximately 30,000–50,000 were still alive in 2012.[14]
    During the 1948 Palestine War, around 85% (720,000 people) of the Palestinian Arab population of what became Israel fled or were expelled from their homes, to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and to the countries of Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.[15][16] They, and their descendants, who are also entitled to registration, are assisted by UNWRA in 59 registered camps, 10 of which were established in the aftermath of the Six-Day War in 1967 to cope with new Palestinian refugees.[17] Being the only refugees in the world to be mainly inherited, including unregistered, displaced persons and refugee descendants, the Palestinian Arab refugee and displaced population has grown to be the second largest in the world,[18] after an estimated 11,000,000 Syrians displaced by the Syrian Civil War.

    Tillerson says the final status of Jerusalem will be decided in a peace deal

    Tillerson said it was unlikely the embassy would move anytime soon, saying that it would "probably not (move) next year" either. It is expected to take several years to make the transition, both for security and other reasons.

    The US secretary of state believes he can resolve the decades-old conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors in a single 'deal of the century.' Moscow is waiting with bated breath to hear the details of the plan, according to its top diplomat.


    “Rex [Tillerson]… hinted to me that the United States is expecting to strike a ‘deal of the century,’ which would resolve the Palestinian-Israeli problem in one swoop,” Sergey Lavrov said. “We certainly want to understand how they see this happening.”

    The irony is that what the president said does not concede those rights and claims. His recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital reflects a reality that it is the seat of Israel’s government and that, for the Jewish state, Jerusalem will always be its capital — there is no other city that could be. For Palestinians, they too no doubt cannot envision any city but Jerusalem as the capital of their state, if and when it emerges from moribund negotiations. The president’s statement does not rule that out: On the contrary, he said that the United States is not taking a position on “the specific boundaries of the Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, or the resolution of contested borders.” Those questions, he said, “are up to the parties involved.”

    The Arabs don't want Israel to have any part of Jerusalem, they don't want Israel to exist, THAT is why they are rioting over this.

    What country is Jerusalem in? Trump's proclamation avoids some thorny questions

    WASHINGTON — President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on Wednesday — but on Thursday, State Department officials stopped short of saying whether the U.S. believes that the city Jerusalem is actually in Israel.

    That seemingly contradictory policy demonstrates just how difficult it will be for the Trump administration to implement what the president called a "recognition of reality."

    Trump's decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem upended decades of American foreign policy, delighted conservatives in both countries, ignited protests in the West Bank and cast the future of peace talks into doubt.

    But it also left any number of political, diplomatic and practical issues unresolved: How will U.S. passports identify people born in Jerusalem? How will the city appear on maps? What's the future of the Consulate General in Jerusalem? And where will the U.S. pay for and build a new embassy in a city where historic, political and security considerations so often intersect?

    All those questions may be beside the point.

    "It’s pretty clear the embassy is not going to move to Jerusalem in the foreseeable future, so it’s a moot point for the time being," said James B. Cunningham, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel and a fellow at the Atlantic Council. "The political situation will outrun the technical details of how to move the embassy in the long run."

    For now, State Department officials said, there will be no practical change in how the U.S. deals with the status of Jerusalem.

    A 2015 Supreme Court decision, for example, upheld the longstanding practice of omitting the country on passports for people born in Jerusalem, effectively giving it a stateless status. That won't change, officials said.

    "There has been no change in our policy with respect to consular practice or passport issuance at this time," said acting Assistant Secretary of State David Satterfield on Thursday. U.S. government maps also won't change for now, he said.

    "The president’s decision speaks for itself," he said. "He didn’t go beyond that, and I’m not going to go beyond that."

    While Israel sees Jerusalem as its undivided and "eternal" capital, the Palestinians also claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. Previous presidents have said that the decision on Jerusalem's capital must come from a negotiated agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians.

    But even after Trump's decisive foreign policy pronouncement, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert declined to say what country Jerusalem is in.

    "What country was the president in when he prayed at the Western Wall?" an Associated Press reporter asked.

    "We're not taking any position on the overall boundaries.
    We are recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," Nauert responded. "There are some questions that you will rightfully have about passports, for example, about maps. Some of those things, we are still working out."

    Apparently this is for US citizens born in Jerusalem.

    http://thehill.com/policy/internatio...n-jerusalem-to

    Americans born in Jerusalem will still not be able to list "Israel" as their birthplace on passports despite President Trump's move to recognize the city as the Israeli capital.

    “At this time, there are no changes to our current practices regarding place of birth on Consular Reports of Birth Abroad and U.S. Passports,” the State Department told The Associated Press on Thursday.

    The department policy currently states that American citizens born in Jerusalem can only list the city on their passport as opposed to listing Israel as well, according to the AP.

    American citizens born in Jerusalem prior to 1948 are able to list Palestine as the place of their birth.
