Comma Israel Now

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
with everyone so high on Donald Trump's visit to Israel, now might be the time to ask for a smaller gesture than moving the embassy...
the embassy is a big move, and it brings with it a lot of problems, including that even some of the Israelis aren't sure they want it done. It would also take a long time and just physically be  ahumongous project. Something smaller can be done that would show his friendship and recognition of Israel and would affect less.
I would say to ask Trump to add just a few characters on his communications - the ", Israel".
That is, at least on communications regarding West Jerusalem, if not also East Jerusalem, it should say "Jerusalem, Israel" instead of just "Jerusalem".
The , Israel only adds 8 more characters to his Twitter postings, and it won't add much anywhere else either - in press statements, on passports, etc.
That little comma Israel can be a big gesture that would threaten less bloodshed than moving the embassy.
