In which country does the White House think this picture was taken?
The US Administration has a big problem with admitting that Jerusalem is in fact the capital of Israel, or that it belongs in any way to Israel.
Many US-born parents of Israeli children have discovered that if they want to register Jerusalem as the place of their children’s birth, the American consulate in Jerusalem will register the place of birth as “Jerusalem” with no country mentioned.
The parents of Menachem Zivotofsky have decided to challenge this ridiculous ruling and are taking the matter to court in the United States, as reported by the JTA in May.
The next stage in this diplomatic dance was that the Zionist Organization of America brief to bolster the claim that Jerusalem is indeed in Israel. They provided photos and video clips with captions entitled “Jerusalem, Israel” to prove their point.
The third and most despicable stage in this ridiculous saga is that the White House has gone through its website, scrubbing all reference to “Jerusalem, Israel” from photos and videos.
My Right Word (Yisrael Medad) has a video clip showing the places where the name “Israel” has been removed, and Yisrael Medad also points us towards the Weekly Standard which has examples scrubbed clean of the dreaded word “Israel” in connection with Jerusalem. Watch Medad’s video and be appalled at the White House’s juvenile yet despicable attempt to deny any connection of Jerusalem to Israel. If you ask the Administration I’m sure they could not explain how you would get to Jerusalem if not through Israel’s international airport. Their duplicity is sickening.
