Every state can name its capital, but not Jerusalem

Germany and other countries know perfectly well that the United States embassy will be located in West Jerusalem, which is within the 1967 lines and which has no taint of so-called 'occupation'.

So they have absolutely no excuse for failing to move their embassies to Jerusalem, even if they stop short of the same recognition announcement as President Trump.

The truth is that whilst Germany and France were previously indebted to Arab oil, and then intimidated by Arafat's airline hijackers and Olympic terrorists - they now fear rioting in their streets by their new immigrants.
