Unfortunately, this story brilliantly illustrates how anti Israel Obama is, but it will not gain traction in the media.

People need to know that facts of this policy and see who Obama really represents.

And it’s not American Jews or Israel.

I’ve been under the impression that states issue birth certificates, ever since Hawaii issued one to the Kenyan... How is it that the FedGov is involved?

Yes. They were castrated by the files the NSA has painstakingly accumulated on every single one of them.

mulsims have always preferred their slaves castrated, that's why the number one African slave importing area of all time - now called Saudi Arabia - doesn't have a race problem today.

From friends: Jews born in Jerusalem before Israel’s independence in 1948 who have become American citizens list POB as Jerusalem Palestine on their US Passports. Jews born before the Treaty of Paris when Jerusalem was part of the Ottoman empire who became American citizens listed their place of birth as Jerusalem (only). Perhaps suggesting that it was only under British occupation, that “Palestine” became known as a State.

Correction: Treaty of Paris should be Paris Peace Conference(s). Mea culpa.

Yes indeed; slaves used to be castrated often. Then they could also be trusted to guard the harems.

Shows why Congressmen and others (like the SCROTUS) need to be of upright character with no filth in their closets. Such men cannot be blackmailed.

There is no problem, 70% of Jews will still vote for him.

Bush Administration argued this case.

Congress passed a law in 2002 dictating that Americans living in Jerusalem could label their children’s birthplace “Israel,” but the State Department has refused to enforce that law for over a decade.

Huh? Since when did the State Department get to prohibit the enforcement of American law?

If it was a decade ago, this would have been under Condoleeza Rice, correct?

Oh, come on. American Jews have — generally speaking — jumped the shark. They voted for Obama in droves. I can’t feel sorry for anyone who voted for that POS and then ends up getting shafted by his policies and directives.

According to Israel, Jeruselam is its capitol. Maybe Israel will returm the favor to the US. Perhaps hold talks with Native Americans and Mexicans...

This should be no surprise coming from a man who has successfully obfuscated his own birth place.

I understand a bit about the legalities. The problem I see is that if one is born in Jerusalem or any disputed territory what can they put on their birth certificate?

If any administration says they can only list Jerusalem, then I would be ok with that I guess. On the other hand, what about an American born in the former DDR? Can they amend their birth certificate to say Germany? What about any state that the US does not recognized diplomatically? What about an American born in Moscow in 1918? What goes on their birth certificate, USSR, Russia or what? Yes an administration receives determines foreign policy, but NOT REALITY. Reality right now is that someone born in Jerusalem is born under Israeli jurisdiction.

On Tuesday, a unanimous three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that Americans born in Jerusalem cannot put “Israel” as place of birth on their birth certificates.

They get their birth certificates in Israel where you're out of your jurisdiction. Case closed.
