Dividing Jerusalem is another non-starter. Where do you run the border, right through the Old City and between the top of the Temple Mount and the Western Wall? Talk about indefensible borders! Logistically it’s ridiculous.

Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel and the center of Judaism for 2500 years, never been the capital of any other country, and no other city is divided in two as the capital of two countries. Plus the Jerusalem Arabs do NOT want to be ruled by the PA, nor does any other Israeli Arab for that matter. No one wants to divide Jerusalem but the PA and their enablers the Arab bloc and Leftist fellow travellers. Culturally it’s ridiculous too.
