Muslim nations urge recognition of East Jerusalem as Palestinian capital
BBC ^ | 12/13/17 | BBC Staff

Posted on 12/13/2017 2:52:40 PM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

The leaders of 57 Muslim nations have called on the world to recognise "the State of Palestine and East Jerusalem as its occupied capital".

An Organisation of Islamic Co-operation communique declares US President Donald Trump's decision to recognise the city as Israel's capital as "null and void".

It also says the move has signalled Washington's withdrawal from its role in the Middle East peace process.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas earlier said the UN should take over.

In a speech to the OIC summit in Istanbul, Mr Abbas said it would be "unacceptable" for the US to be the mediator "since it is biased in favour of Israel".

The Palestinians had engaged with the Trump administration in an attempt to agree "the deal of the century", he noted, but had instead "got the slap of the century".

What is so contentious about Jerusalem's status? The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of Israel's conflict with the Palestinians.

The city is home to key religious sites sacred to Judaism, Islam and Christianity, especially in East Jerusalem.

Something they’ve never owned, that has always belonged to someone else, should just be given to them because they’re enraged. Liberals can certainly relate to that.

I demand they recognize Paris France as the capital of a supposed Arab state.

Well heck they don’t have a claim to that either.

Don’t be shocked if the E.U. or the U.N. jump on this like a tic to a dog.

The BBC shill:
The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of Israel's conflict with the Palestinians.
Israel doesn't have a conflict with the Palestinians. The Arabs have a conflict with Israel, Israelis, and Jews in general.

Coming from the Palis, this is rich. No mention of the fact that muslims refuse to even acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.

The Revelation 12:5 sign starts on Christmas Day. Jupiter is still in Libra (Scales/Throne) on January 13 when Saturn enters the bow of Sagittarius after Mercury slaps it one more time. I love it when God’s Plan comes together!!

This is exactly why we must move our Israeli embassy to EAST Jerusalem.

Recognizing East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, requires recognizing Palestine as an independent country.

Let’s recognize the capital of formerly Turkish Kurdistan under the same legal reasoning.
