I don't see the big deal over this. Jerusalem has been Israel's capital since 1949. If vocal Arabs can't mentally get over the 1948 war, that's their problem. It's insane that the entire world has allowed itself to be held hostage over an old feud.
Perhaps you're right. Maybe yanking the emotional chains of Palestinians and Arabs this way will lead to a real peace agreement with this being a bargaining chip.
I still think it's stupid that the world has been afraid to acknowledge Isreal's capital. As you can probably tell, I wouldn't make a great diplomat.
I don't know who BHO's parents are/were. Honest people have no problem producing their birth certificate without any drama.
In the early to mid '60s, mixed race relationships as well as having babies out of wedlock were looked down upon by society. An illegitimate black baby would typically be given to a black married couple to raise because the country was still segregated.
