    Frame 34 shows thegaurdian stating “Jerusalem: Is not the capital of Israel; Tel Aviv is (a mistake we have made more than once).”

    … I think the biased media believes Jerusalem is not the capital because it is quite surprising that deals that were to be made in the past (which palestinians opted out of), had part of Jerusalem as the means of a trade for peace. WHAT COUNTRY IN THE WORLD sells out it’s CAPITAL!? So… yeah they were like :O [gasp] “I can’t comprehend Jerusalem as being the capital.” Israel should never have offered it in the first place. EVER!

    If Jerusalem was not the capital MANY religious folks would already have been chatting up about it like CrAzY… but they are not.

    In the 1922 League of Nations agreement Israel was part of a larger area considered to be part of a new Jewish State. There was no discussion at that time for a Palestinian State.
    Moreover when Jordan occupied territory in the area, East Jerusalem was declared a municipality under Jordanian control. We all know what happened then. That part can again be declared a municipality but part of Jerusalem. Period. It could be called eastern Jerusalem but not East Jerusalem. I believe that with the exception of outside agitators, the Arabs living there will be happy with services provided by Israel, certainly the health care.
    In so many prayers and comentaries, Yerushalyim is constantly mentioned.
