I agree. Top post.

There is a reason why no one has an embassy in Jerusalem (well two actually). One, no one wants to add fuel to an already precarious political situation by legitimising any sides claim over the city (Christian, Jewish or Muslim).

Secondly, its a bit of a 's**t hole' in the middle of nowhere, as all the Israeli government facilities are based in Tel Aviv.

Actually, a third one, it would create problems for the US and UK's allies in the middle east, by fermenting another generation of infatada's, this time likely to be very much Islamist in cause.

There is a distinct problem that there are still in excess of half a million plus displaced Palestinans throughout the middle east.

It potentially is a return to the 80s in terms of the Israel-Palestinian problem.

Not sure where you get these figures from, old chap? The descendants of those refugees who fled the 1948 War were just under 5 million in 2012. That is about half the Palestinian population. Thus, decimal point issue?

OK, many of those represent the Palestinian diaspora with, eg, 500,000 in Chile [there has been an Israeli policy of "encouraged" migration to Latin America], over 250,000 in the USA and 100,000 across the EU - many may be more than happy to sentimentalise about their homeland - but will never go back - even if Israel was overthrown.

On the other hand, in 2012 there were 1.5 million [!] living in refugee camps.

So those who post that those annoying Palestinians just riot and complain about anything at the drop of the hat...

Germany won the War. They took a look at London and thought: we'll have that. The slums were left to be occupied by a tolerated drone population to serve their needs but under strict oppressive conditions. Eventually, after Hitler died, the policies liberalised as the Germans saw that a less oppressed population with eg seats in minor power and jobs in the civil service, are happier, work better and reduce security costs. However, they remain a poor, largely oppressed, underclass. Meanwhile, all the nice areas are occupied by German nationals who also took and held all the plum jobs, schools and still do so.

So what happened to the rest of the population of London? They were forced out. Now there was only so much room for them in the existing urban settlements in England. A significant % flooded into the Birmingham area which became grossly over-populated and remains so with all the myriad of social issues this produces. The rest [about half] had to look elsewhere.

The Irish and the Scots [no great friends of the English] reluctantly agreed to take some on... but were then engulfed by literally millions of refugees. They still live in those places - they can't go back - in the worst conditions resented and hated by their local populations.

So what of the German occupiers? Time has passed. They are no longer "occupiers". Indeed, they are internationally recognised as being the true and proper inhabitants of London. Meanwhile, pesky "Cockneys" who complain or protest or who undertake minor armed insurrections are branded as terrorists and mischief makers by most of the world. They have some support, but not enough. Mainly, they are friendless, oppressed, beaten people without hope.

The question: where would you stand on this?

There is literally nothing either good or right about this post.

I disagree. The Anti-Semitic media in this country is brainwashing people. You do know Israel is a safe place, has a rule of law, has a Muslim woman in its Cabinet and seeks to engage a multicultural society...

However, Hamas etc.
