What's the capital of Israel?

I bet everyone is wondering why I put this in the politics forum.

This is why.

What's he trying to hide?

He's avoiding a set-up that would inflame the ME debate. The questioner knew full well that the Palestinians never accepted Israel's unilateral move. Of course, if they gave up E.Jerusalem, that could solve a big problem. Israel, for one, wouldn't have to administer a largely Palestinian area.

Also Israel completely surrendering to the Arabs would diffuse the situation too.

How about Obama give east Washington to Al Quaida?

Only been the capital of Israel for nearly 3000 years.

Is that right?

So Israel wasn't created in 1949 after they invaded Palestine, and terrorized its residents since , 1925 ?!?!?!?!!?

So Israel wasn't created when David Ben-Gurion "donated" 2.5 millions to the Truman presidential campaign?

.

You are extremely confused. It's the Arabs that invaded Israel in 1948.


Try googling King David.

Tri-lemma.

If they say "Jerusalem," the Arab neighbors get all pissed off. Oh nozies!

If they say any location other than Jerusalem, Israel (and by extension, perhaps, American Jewish voters) get pissed off. Yipes!

If they try to dodge the question by even pretending that they don't know the answer, they either ARE fucking imbeciles are are lying to fake being fucking imbeciles.

Why should it surprise anyone that they chose the third option?

It's called diplomacy. Not surprising at all, but not lying. The position hasn't changed, isn't a lie, is it?

I think he's wrong on this point. Unless both capitals are in the same city, this will never end.

So the white house press guy doesn't want to answer completely pointless questions meant to disrupt a news conference? I don't blame him for ignoring the useless loudmouth twits in regards to their pointless question that seems to be way out of context. There comes a certain point when the person in the front just has to ignore the rabble and let them make the stupid assumptions they wish.

If only they ignored disruptive twats more often we might get something done.

Oh, and the only people who admitted to not knowing the capital was the woman who was playing a game and the loud guy next to her. If it was geography class and the teacher ignored the question there might be a point, but this is a damned white house press conference, and not a college class. Go back to your office and google it, don't waste the white houses time asking them for geography lessons.

No there is more to it than that. He talked about "our policy" WTF does that mean? He could have said Jerusalem, NEXT!!!!!!!! but he didnt, why?

Because ownership of Jerusalem is in dispute, dumbass, and we can't see being a fair broker if we take sides in that dispute.

Eventually, Israel is going to have to give parts of Jerusalem back to the Arabs.

The US shoudn't be a fair broker. Obama should recognize that the arab side that doesn't recoginize Israel's right to exist is evil and seek to defeat them.

The US should support it's ONE ally in the middle east and the one actual democracy.

There is no both, there is only one country, that isn't going to change. Israel is there and they are going to be there. With the arabs it's not about two countries either, they want Israel gone get it?...

What position?

That Tel Aviv is still the capital of Israel as affirmed by administrations of both parties and that the status of E & W Jerusalem still come under international protocols.

That's the thing about diplomacy, neither side gets everything. I wonder if the Palestinians would actually jeopardize a state with a capital in E.Jerusalem, knowing it could be crushed in an instant.

 

[CMike]

As soon as Obama puts DC under international control.

Jerusalem is Israel's capital. Unless the Arabs seize it militarily it's going to remain that way.

Then don't complain about permanent war.

Survival trumps war.

They Palestinians have a capital. It's called Amman.

Jerusalem is the capital of the Nation of Israel. That's just a fact.

You don't get the point, why am I not surprised?

She was not asking because she wanted to disrupt a news conference, she wanted an explanation of the official White House position on the capital of Israel. That is a politically loaded question because Israel claims Jerusalem is the capital, but the UN refuses to recognize it as such, they insist it is Tel Aviv. That is why Carney responded "Our position remains unchanged."

That is you geography lesson for the day.

By the way, Jay Carney's entire job is dealing with the press, even the twats. He gets paid to do it, and has absolutely nothing else to do. Him fielding stupid questions is not going to slow Obama down on anything he wants to do, including playing golf.

Nice to see someone on the left showing their usual respect for the female gender.

In that case this president holds the same position on recognizing the Capital of Israel as the every president since 1998.
