Delaying Embassy move to Jerusalem: Another Obama widening the chasm he created with Israel!

For sometime now, United States Presidents have been stating that the United States Embassy to Israel will finally be placed in Jerusalem; as it should be. To that end, there is also a Congressional resolution that calls for the United States Embassy to be moved to Jerusalem. To date such move is still in the works, there seem to be no progress by the Obama Administration; to the contrary, President Obama just declared that the move will be put off again.

The Embassy move is well overdue, especially since one should ask: When does an outsider determine the Capital a sovereign state? Since Israel considers, and always did, Jerusalem to be its Capital, the United States must put its Embassy in that city, and do so without further delay. This notion is further supported by Congressional Resolution to put the Embassy in Jerusalem.

Inasmuch as the Obama Administration had created a chasm of distrust between the United States and Israel, formally starting a move of the United States Embassy to Jerusalem may start to narrow the gap of trust it started. Delaying the move, as President Obama announced recently, is just another step by the American President in alienating Israel, and the Jewish people of the world.

The move may raffle some Arab feathers, a situation that the young American President, Barak Hussein Obama, is not willing create. President Obama is so overly sympathetic to Islamic sensitivities, that even though damaged relations with the Arab World by moving the Embassy to Jerusalem would be minimal (as long as the Embassy is not placed within the confines of the Old City,) he will keep delaying the move with complete disregard to relations with Israel, the wishes of the United States Congress, and International norm.

President Obama! It is time to comply with International norm, and with the desires of the United States Congress, while also starting to repair the damaged relations with Israel that your Administration created: Please start with announcing an immediate move of the American Embassy to Jerusalem.
