The whole world is big on symbolism; look at the way we pretend Taiwan isn't a real country so as not to anger China. Symbols aren't worth death, though.
Are you saying that the US shouldn't have had an embassy in Israel until 1967? The official capital was Tel Aviv until after the Six-Day War. Most nations aren't interested in moving theirs.
Shifting an embassy is an expensive undertaking, Jerusalem is a divided city and a war zone. The US didn't shift its German embassy from Bonn to Berlin until after the Wall fell.
Well, since this particular nation was created by agreement methink the world has something to say about where its capital should be. It would be different if God had reclaimed Israel as by scripture but we know this world did and perhaps why it is called the "Synagogue of Satan".
Where do those who claim to be Jews and are not live? What benefit to claim to be a Jew in Utah?

King David conquered Jerusalem in 1000 BC. He then proceeded to make it the capital of the kingdom of Israel. Solomon built the first temple there. To the Jewish people, Jerusalem has always been the capital of Israel and whether Israel has been conquered or not, it has always belonged to the Jews. What President Trump did by moving the embassy to Jerusalem was to acknowledge that reality. Israel was not created by agreement, Israel/the promised land was given to the Jewish people by GOD. Israel simply took back what was always theirs. :)
The modern day nation of Israel was established by the agreement of men NOT by the hand of YH. The Rothchild's involvement makes its creation that much more dubious.
Are you saying that what GOD has established forever, man can take down and re-establish? Let's take a look. Fact one: The Jewish people are the chosen people. (Deuteronomy 7:6, Isaiah 43:10-11). Fact two: The land of Israel belongs to GOD. (Psalm 24:1). Since the entire world belongs to God, He has the right to apportion it as He chooses, and He specifically gave the nations their lands based on the Jewish people's rights to the land of Israel. (Deuteronomy 32:8-9). Fact three: The chosen people needed a chosen land, and so GOD strategically chose the land of Israel for the people of Israel. Fact four: The land of Israel was given by God to the descendants of Abraham as an "everlasting" possession. (Genesis 12:7, Genesis 17:7-8). Fact 5: Even though Abraham had other sons, the land of Israel was "not" given to Ishmael, or to any of the other sons of Abraham, but only to Isaac. (Genesis 17:18-19, Genisis 26:3-4, Genisis 25:5-6). There are other facts but you get my drift. So what does this all mean? It means that what God established with Israel (be it ancient Israel or modern Israel) cannot be unestablished and re-established by us mere human beings. The mere human beings include the Rothschilds or any other power-hungry wannabes. You don't establish or give back (Israel) what God had already established and gave.
