The EU proposed East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. The Palestinians are a people, without a country. They have land, but no government. To recognize the capital of a non-existant government in a nation that doesn't exist is ridiculous. It is unorganized land with Palestinian residents. The Palestinians are fighting a civil war and to begin to draft this utopian vision of a great Palestinian nation is completely stupid. Right now there is no Palestine, and no agreements between Hamas, the Heles clan, Jawes clan, or the Fatah groups exist to form a government. The elections most likely won't happen in Gaza as Hamas will boycott and Fatah can't agree to be united as one political party with a youth movement pushing for its own party.
You can't have a capital without a nation. You can't have a nation without a government. You can have pride and a culture, but no capital without a government to operate from it. Jerusalem, in its entirety, has more respect for all cultures and faiths than it ever had under Arab rule. To protect the history of the Holy Land, Israel must exist or one can easily see a wave of retribution against all non-Arab cultures lead to the destruction of religious symbols such as the Taliban conducted in Afghanistan.
