Today I do something different. I give a shout of acclamation: "BeeJeesuss!!!" to the good stuff, with superscripts marked with red text color in the transcript below. My execrations, as always, are marked with black superscripts internally linked below the transcript.

AS DELIVERED
Thank you, Mr. President. The Jewish people are a patient people. Throughout three thousand years of civilization, foreign conquest, exile, and return, Jerusalem has remained their spiritual home. For nearly 70 years, the city of Jerusalem has been the capital of the State of Israel, despite many attempts by others to deny that reality.1
The American people are less patient. In 1948, the United States was the first nation to recognize the independent state of Israel. In 1995, the U.S. Congress declared that Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of Israel, and that the U.S. Embassy should be located in Jerusalem.2
Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama all agreed with that position, but they did not act. They delayed, in the hopes that a peace process would produce results – results that never came.3
For 22 years, the American people have overwhelmingly supported that position, and they have waited . . . and waited. This week, President Trump finally made the decision to no longer deny the will of the American people.4
It’s important to be clear about exactly what the President’s decision does. The President has announced that the United States recognizes the obvious – that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. He has also instructed the State Department to begin the process of relocating the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That is what the President has done.5
And this is what he has not done: The United States has not taken a position on boundaries or borders6. The specific dimensions of sovereignty over Jerusalem are still to be decided by the Israelis and the Palestinians in negotiations7. The United States has not advocated changing any of the arrangements at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif. The President specifically called for maintaining the status quo at the holy sites.8
Finally, and critically, the United States is not predetermining final status issues. We remain committed to achieving a lasting peace agreement. We support a two-state solution if agreed to by the parties9.
Those are the facts of what was said and done this week. Now, there are a few more points that are central to the discussion of this issue.
Israel, like all nations, has the right to determine its capital city10. Jerusalem is the home of Israel’s parliament, president, prime minister, Supreme Court, and many of its ministries.
It is simple common sense that foreign embassies be located there. In virtually every country in the world, U.S. embassies are located in the host country’s capital city. Israel should be no different.
The United States took this step in full knowledge that it will raise questions and concerns11. Our actions are intended to help advance the cause of peace. We must recognize that peace is advanced, not set back, when all parties are honest with each other. Our actions reflected an honest assessment of reality12.
I understand the concern members have in calling this session. Change is hard. But we should never doubt what the truth can do. We should never doubt that when we face the truth, believe in the human spirit, and encourage each other, that peace can happen.13
To those who have good faith concerns about the future of peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, let me again assure you that the President and this administration remain committed to the peace process.14
To those who do not act in good faith – to any person, leader, country, or terrorist group that uses this week’s decision as a pretext for violence – you are only showing yourselves to be unfit partners of peace15.
Finally, I will not let this moment pass without a comment about the United Nations itself. Over many years, the United Nations has outrageously been of the world’s foremost centers of hostility towards Israel.16
The UN has done much more to damage the prospects for Middle East peace than to advance them. We will not be a party to that. The United States no longer stands by when Israel is unfairly attacked in the United Nations. And the United States will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both Israelis and Palestinians fairly.17
It is no coincidence that the historic peace agreements between Egypt and Israel, and between Jordan and Israel, were both signed on the White House lawn. If and when there is a historic peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians, there’s a good likelihood that it, too, will be signed on the White House lawn.
Why is that? It’s because the United States has credibility with both sides. Israel will never be, and should never be, bullied into an agreement by the United Nations, or by any collection of countries that have proven their disregard for Israel’s security18.
To my Palestinian brothers and sisters19. I can tell you with complete confidence that the United States is deeply committed to achieving a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. We have demonstrated that commitment over many years and with the investment of large quantities of financial resources and diplomatic energy.
Sadly, peace between the two sides has not been achieved, but we will not give up. Our hand remains extended to you. We are more committed to the cause of Israeli-Palestinian peace today than we’ve ever been before. And we believe we might be closer to that goal than ever before.20
Both Israelis and Palestinians have very real stories to tell21. Painful stories of challenges, distrust, and destruction. But this conflict is not just about the past. It must not be about all of those painful stories. It must be about future generations. Palestinian and Israeli children both deserve a future of peace, one no more and no less than the other.22
When those children are grown, they should look back and look to this time when the parties genuinely negotiated for their sake. These Palestinian and Israeli children deserve to have hope of a brighter and more peaceful future.
Our wish and prayer is that this is the time both sides stop thinking about present needs23 and start thinking about future generations. I urge all countries in the Security Council and in the Middle East to temper their statements and their actions in the days ahead.
Peace remains achievable. We must all do our parts to achieve it.
Thank you.

Jerusalem: Capital
Shrub & Obamination denied reality, pretending that Jerusalem is not in Israel. It was, it is and it must remain Israel's capital city unless Israel decides to make a change on their own free will and accord. The accursed partition plan denied Israel's right to Jerusalem, pretending to set up a UN body to administer the city. Anyone with common sense and hindsight knows what the outcome would have been if the plan had gone into effect: same as from '48 to '67 exclusion of Jews and desecration of sanctuaries,The swamp rats running Foggy Bottom continue to deny the location of Jerusalem. #DrainTheSwamp! #MAGA!
Jerusalem Embassy Act
The act was a fraud. Congress & Slick Willy had no intention of moving the embassy. That is why the act contains a waive clause. It was an easy vote to deceive voters, falsely suggesting an intention to do something the Islamopanderers would never do. Several of those who proclaimed the unity of Jerusalem and supported the act are now bitching bitterly about it's apparent enforcement. To hell with them!!!Delayed
Slick, Shrub & Obamination, being Islamopanderers signed waivers 'cuz they, being delusional damned fools & dreaming of making "the biggest deal" were afraid of the Muslim reaction. Last spring, Chump followed suit. Now, hoping to pressure Abbas into negotiating, he proclaimed enforcement of the act. It will not work. But the move will be delayed interminably while the delusion persists.Finally
The proclamation does not mark the final end of deception and denial. It marks the beginning of a new phase. The capital city has been recognized but the embassy will remain in Tel Aviv. It is neither final nor irreversible.begin the process
The process should have and was rumored to have begun immediately after Chump's first waiver last spring. Now it should, but will not, begin in earnest. Foggy Bottom is still run by Obaminoids.boundaries or borders
That is the sort of shit that makes me scream curses! The border of Israel was set in the mandate, minus Transjordan, which screwed Israel out of 75% of her patrimony. Israel is far too narrow, given the speed of modern tanks and range of modern artillery and rockets. Israel can not secure her territory without annexing everything up to the Jordan river. Israel's allies should acknowledge that fact.Egypt illegally seized Gaza. Jordan illegally seized Judea & Samaria, known as the west bank. When they tried again to exterminate Israel, they lost those territories. There is no religious, legal, historical or moral reason to cede any of that land back to the conquerors or illegal occupiers. Let the damned occupiers return to the homelands of their ancestors: Egypt, Syria & Iraq. They do not belong in Israel!
sovereignty over Jerusalem
There is nothing to negotiate! It's Israel, Stupid! David bought it from a Jebusite thousands of years ago. Umar conquered it, the Ottomans lost it, Israel got some of it back. Tough shit, Losers!!! Chew it and choke on it!!! Die in your rage, damn you!!! No Jew who would give the Temple Mount to the enemy could survive politically and no Muslim can survive who would let Israel keep it. Thee is only one solution to existential conflict: exterminate the aggressors!Temple Mount
If the President's head was not up his anus, he would demand the expulsion of Muslims from the Temple Mount, dissolution of the Waqf and restoration of full sovereignty over Jerusalem to Israel! There is no reason why Jews & Christians should not be allowed to pray on the mount and rebuild the Temple. There is no reason why Muslims should be allowed to prey there.Two-state solution
There is only one solution: one state: Israel alone with no Muslims within rocket range. Anything less guarantees continued war. No need to reinvent the wheel, I long ago documented the fatal facts.the right
Israel has the right to retain Jerusalem, all of it, undivided, as it's capital city, without recourse. There is nothing to negotiate.questions and concerns
In a just world, there would be neither questions nor concerns. Refer to the right stated above. Jews have the ight to live and the right to a nation of their own in their ancestral homeland, which they possess. Muslims demand genocide & politicide, a state in place of Israel as a wiliat in a caliphate. To Hell with them!!!Those bitterly bitching, kvetching, pissing, moaning & rioting over President Trump's enforcement of the Jerusalem Embassy Act thereby show us exactly what they are:
AssWholes & predators.
reality
Honest assessment of reality entails cursing & condemning Islam & Muslims and demanding victory over them, which entails extermination. Muslims are implacable predators who can not be appeased or pacified.face the truth
If you faced the truth, you would acknowledge the impossibility of peace while Muslims infest the earth.peace process
There is only one peace process: victory, which, in the case of Muslims, entails extinction. Muslims believe that they go to war or to Hell; to war and to Allah's celestial orgy including hair pie with cherries when they die. While they continue to believe that crap, peace is impossible. See my 8 part series, linked under the Face The Truth heading above.partners of peace
Few expressions piss me off as much as that accursed lie! Israel has existential enemies, commanded by their slave master to exterminate the Jews and reconquer all territory once conquered by their ancestors. Those who will go to Hell if they do not exterminate you are not partners for peace, they are implacable enemies!!! Read the 8 part series linked under FaceThe Truth.hostility towards Israel
Moe designed Islam to sucker the local Jews & Christians, it worked on his wife and her cousin, but not on the Jews. They laughed him to scorn. For that he hated them, cursed them and declared perpetual war on them. Every Islamic institution inculcates hatred and incites violence against Jews. That will never change.stands by
Then veto every Goddamn security council resolution unjustly condemning Israel and vote against all such resolutions passed in the general assembly and human rights council!!! Abstention does not signal standing by Israel!!!disregard for Israel’s security
Jimmy Farter, damn him, disregarded Israel's security. Bush & Shrub, damn them, disregarded Israel's security. Slick Willy & Obamination, damn them, disregarded Israel's security. They earned my contempt! I curse them as traitors to the human race.What will Chump do? If he will demand good will gestures, painful concessions, sacrifices, ceding land and restraint, then I will curse him, too.
