Apparently some people are getting tired of the same old staid U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv and want to build another one with better glitz and fortress quality security upgrades to keep Arab suicide bombers from destroying it or Muslim hostage takers from looting and shooting, hacking and chopping there way through government personnel as they are wont to do when possible.

The United States probably can't afford to spend a billion or two on building a new super-fortress like embassy high in the city on a hill of Jerusalem simply to make a political statement. It would be cheaper to build a solar powered l.c.d. billboard in Jerusalem letting the world know we think Jerusalem is the Israeli capital as well as running images of President Trump at his best fishing for salmon in Alaska, photo-hunting grizzly bear and whales, and serving the poor in homeless shelters, lunch.
