Re: Politics and the Church
Regardless of the risk Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem forces the Palestinians to negotiate.
They have 3 choices:
1. Terrorism -- won't advance their cause. Instead it will justify the walling off of their camps.
2. Stall -- this is what they have done and the result is their position shrinks every year. Every year there are more Jews, and Israel has advanced steadily with there claim to the land. At some point in the future the Palestinians claim will be considered ancient history.
3. Negotiate -- this involves compromise. If you look at the first peace proposal that the Palestinians rejected you can see the idiocy of the Palestinian leaders and how they have not acted on behalf of the Palestinians but rather have been puppets of the Arab nations.
