Who's giving up on the two state solution?



Why should this change any negotiations? There never was any proposal where Israel would give up Jerusalem entirely, the only issue of contention is if "Palestine" would have it's capital in East Jerusalem.
^Yes, exactly.

Yes. We (Israelis) consider Jerusalem the capital no matter what anyone says. But we were tense about the embassy move from TLV to Jerusalem because of the violence that is coming from the Palestinian reaction. They plan the "three days of rage" beginning tomorrow (friday). We just do not want more chaos and violence. But there will be anyway.

It will be centered in Jerusalem, but we were told this morning to be alert and careful in Tel Aviv too (I am in Tel Aviv now) because violence may break out here too.

I am still going to the shuk tomorrow and running errands as usual. We have been through this many times before. We can not just sit home and hide just because the Palestinians are going on a rage. Again.
