@8JP8Y7P4yrs4Y
The United States should let the people make that decision.
@8WRG8FN3yrs3Y
we cannot tell who is right in this conflict because we do not live over there and do not know everything what happen over there.
@8XLR4JX3yrs3Y
It should be considered an internationally administered city
@8XTW3QC3yrs3Y
we should stay neutral on this issue
@8YJ6ZGY3yrs3Y
It should be recognized as both the capital of Israel and Palenstine
@9242PSR3yrs3Y
Israel claims its the capital while Palestine claims East Jerusalem as their capital
@93RQL4H3yrs3Y
No. Why is it up to the US to dictate what another country decides is its capital? The only reason this is a debated topic is because of the religious connotations involved and we are supposed to separate church and state. Stop with the Abrahamic biases.
@94399XK3yrs3Y
Jerusalem should become an independent holy nation, similar to Vatican City, that is owned by neither Israel or Palestine but welcomes citizens of any nation as religious pilgrims.
