Mazel Tov to Menachem Binyamin. I hope this survives the remaining legal hurdles.

I didn't realize that our own DOS had such a stupid policy regarding Jerusalem, ISRAEL. So much for the Zionist Neo-con conspiracy! This is absurd. Jerusalem "belongs" to Israel--period. The Arab refugees are simply a bad case of squatters. When's the de-lousing start?

When has the State Department done anything helpful for our country.

That's a good point. Trying to remember anything that Bolton may have forced through after he was done berating his employees. Bringing the Iran nuke problem to light rings a bell but he was in the minority at State; i.e. he was an effective employee.

The Defartment of State has had this policy toward Jerusalem for many years, going way back to '48, when the DOS tried to be "evenhanded" by regarding Jerusalem as an "international question" needing to "be resolved later." They have been PO'ed at Israel ever since Israel refused to wither away in '48.

"Evenhanded" sounds a lot like the other PC-crap terms like multicultural, eco-friendly, etc. DOS sounds a lot like POS. I hope Israel never withers away and the Pro-Israel Christian group referenced in another post sounds like a great start. We have no greater friends than each other when it comes to confronting the evils (i.e. Islam) of the world.

This long standing U.S. policy of pretending that Jerusalem was located nowhere is ludacrous and shameless. No other country was so treated.

People are born where they are born; the name of the country in which a place is at the time on one's birth is the name of the country at the time of one's birth.

The Arabist U.S. State Department has repeatedly shown its true colors going back throughout the last century.

On one hand, the Jerusalem without a country nonsense is outrageous, and is blatant pandering to perpetually offended A-rabs.

OTOH, passports of US citizens who are born outside the US, simply name the country of birth. Therefore... By refusing to place "Israel" on the passports (birth certificates, etc.) of Jerusalem-born citizens, the dingbat State Dept. dhimmis have inadvertantly elevated Jerusalem to the position of being an entire country. Those crafty Zionists and their sneaky plots. *snicker*.

Exactly, right on the money!

You can't see it, but you brought a huge smile on my face! You nailed it!

Glad I could be of service. I just finished Spencer's "Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam..." and am currently re-reading select sections. I am truly fed up with PC-establishment not seeing that this is a WAR. The Islamofacists are using the same mindset applied in the 7th century with some updates to take advantage of this century's weaknesses.

I have Spencer's book, but have not read it yet. I hear it is very good.
