Actually I don't give a flying f..k about what status the U.S. gives Jerusalem.
But why do we/I always get threatened by these people ?

Palestinians warn "world will pay the price" for any change in Jerusalem's status

Why don't you read the whole post you idiot.

Why not? After all, the East Jerusalem is a part of Israel(i) (occupied territory of Palestine over 40 years).

West Jerusalem is part of Israel proper

Already been defined by most of the world through the UN. Last year's landmark resolution made clear that Israeli settlement is a “flagrant violation” of international law, which in this case is governed by the UN, and has “no legal validity”. Therefore, all activity in the occupied territories since 1967 are illegal and it follows that the legal borders are pre-67.

Clearly you don't, though it doesn't exist to satisfy your whims.

The border, which everyone agrees upon, apart from the people who do not think that Israel should exist

Jerusalem is already Israels Capital

By the same measure, it is also the capital of Palestine. But the obvious fact is, all of the political infrastructure, including foreign Embassies, are in Ramallah & Tel Aviv.

Each Country can decide on which city is its Capital , where other Countries put their own Embassy is irrelevant .

Embassies belong in the capital, elsewhere they are called consulates, missions or something else.

Exactly, that is why the USA wants to move its Embassy to Jerusalem

Well, to be fair, that started the day he began campaigning.

Unfortunately you're wrong there. I think Golan in particular is destined to be determined as Israeli, and many of the illegal settlements will too...this has been Netanyahu's thrust for over a decade: too big to dismantle, too much of a humanitarian crisis to evacuate, especialy because the settlers are "persecuted Jews".
Israel itself has never proclaimed where it's borders are (all part of their expansion plans since 1947).

To be fair, that was only half the sentence .
Everyone who accepts Israels right to exist accepts that West Jerusalem is within Israels legal boundaries, as a Country

So it would make sense to declare West Jerusalem the capital of Israel and East Jerusalem the capital of Palestine.

But of course the blue suede shoes would never have this, they want the fucking lot AND the offshore oil and gas, thieving big-nosed bastards.

That wouldnt make any sense at all, because a country that doesnt exist, cannot have a capital city

West Jerusalem already is the Capital of Israel, Trump is just thinking about moving the USA Embassy there, and rightly so

No, the whole of Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel as far as they are concerned.

Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel (unofficial translation)
Jerusalem, Capital of Israel:
1. Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_Law

Most of the international community doesn't agree.

The area in question East Jerusalem, does contain the Jewish Temple of David, or whats left of it, and thats 2500 years old, hardly theft, more like re gaining

Most of Israeli Jews are Europeans or descendants thereof. They may be Jewish by religion, but are certainly not native to the Levant.
