What do the Heil Hussein Heads THINK is the capital of Israel — Tehran????
It’s not listed as the capitol on any PLO map so why should the mooslime-in-chief call it as such.
For the moment, Obama will not order B-2s on a bombing raid against Israel, but after the election he will have more flexibility.
The release now states: Acting Under Secretary Kathleen Stephens Travels to Algiers, Doha, Amman, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv. In a previous iteration of the release, the State Department separated Jerusalem from Israel.
An official State Department communication has labeled Jerusalem and Israel as separate entities.
In an official press release yesterday, the State Department announced that Acting Under Secretary Kathleen Stephens Travels to Algeria, Qatar, Jordan, Jerusalem, and Israel.
Keeping up with its longstanding policy, the State Department refuses to recognize Jerusalem as Israels official capitaldespite a U.S. law stating otherwise. Obama faced criticism on the issue last year, when it was revealed that the White House had scrubbed all references to Jerusalem being part of the Jewish state from a collection of photos on its website.
Obama has also been lambasted by pro-Israel leaders and some on Capitol Hill for capitulating to pressure from the State Department, which has long opposed U.S. law on the matter.
A senior GOP aide condemned the State Departments recent press release as unsound foreign policy.
Once again, President Obamas administration reminds Jewish voters why he cannot be trusted when it comes to Israels security, said the source. He doesnt think Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Is it its own sovereign nation?
The GOP source also chided Obama for continuing to buck U.S. law on the issue.
Under U.S. law, Jerusalem is recognized as the undivided capital of Israelperiod, said the adviser. Unlike the U.S. embassys move, that fact is not subject to any waiver or exception. So the question really is, why is Barack Obama ignoring U.S. law and refusing to recognize Israels capital?
The White House did not respond to request for comment.
I know that a couple of the administration’s advisors have a habit of calling it by the islamic name.
No U.S. President has ever recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, despite repeated Congressional resolutions. That’s why the U.S. Embassy is in Tel Aviv. This is wrong, but it’s nothing new.
Isn’t the capital Tel Aviv?
Aren’t foreign countries allowed to designate their own capitals?
What’s the outrage about, here? You want to pick one for them?
Is that headline a SURPRISE to someone?! A raghead denying that Jerusalem is the rightful Capitol of Israel? If Jesse Jackson starts campaigning for photo ID to vote in elections, or for welfare queens to stop producing illegitimate babies and get jobs.....THEN you’ll have a legitimate REASON to be slackjawed.
outrage ping!
It’s Tel Aviv’, not Jerusalem; get your geographical brain correct; the Jews do believe that Jerusalem is their capital, just as the West Bank is concidered Palistine to the Palistinians, and there is little to debate about. God says Jerusalem is His, so the Jews nor the Pali’s are the true owners. When God returns, He will gather his people from the four corners of the Earth, that doesn’t mean only the faithful Jew, it means all who believe in Christ Jesus. Going to be alot of poor-sports, but they will not be heard from since Hell does not let their children out on Day-Passes.
