(RealClearPolitics) Ian Schwartz - On Jan. 26, HBO political talk show host Bill Maher defended President Trump's decision to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Jerusalem "has been their capital since 1949, it is where their government is. They've won all the wars thrown against them. I don't understand why they don't get to have their capital where they want." Maher asked why is it always up to Israel to come up with a two-state solution, and when they do it is rejected. "The essential thing that is making the two-state solution impossible is that one party is perpetually hostile, a coiled snake," Maher said. "Israel gave back Gaza and what was the result? Did they use the funds to build schools and hospitals? No. They used them to build tunnels to get weapons and they invited Hamas in to shell Israel across the border."
