I am not a fan of Trump, the opposite, in fact. However, he hasn't made this stuff up, it was already law in the USA.

Jerusalem is a big deal to Jews. It's like our Mecca, if that makes sense. And there's no one going to mess with Mecca, right? Or everyone would be up in arms.

Before he was assassinated, Yitzak Rabin, at a celebration of the 3000th year of Jerusalem's existence, said “Jerusalem is the heart of the Jewish people and a deep source of our pride. We differ in our opinions, left and right, we disagree on the means and the objective. In Israel, we all agree on one issue: the wholeness of Jerusalem, the continuation of its existence as capital of the State of Israel. There are no two Jerusalems. There is only one Jerusalem. For us, Jerusalem is not subject to compromise, and there is no peace without Jerusalem.”

Sorry but that sounds like a veiled threat.

I don't believe religion should be used as an excuse to remove what others consider undesirables.
If recreating a spiritual home is subjugates the lives of others with ties to the land can it be considered honourable?
