Rather than make the United States the focus of it's campaign, the democrats have once again COWED to political pressure ( think huge corporate donors here)and Israels priorities come first.
Forget Jobs and the economy or the thieving banks,or almost 50 million households on food stamps, our priority must always be Israel first.
And WHY, because that's who is running this country! That the duel citizenship in our legislative body along with corporate big bucks buying off the party. Once bought , they bend.
Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel, it's Palestinians, and the United States has no right to say it is, even the UN doesn't recognize it as such.
Just because you occupied it for 400 years, and then got thrown out in (get this) 587 BCE (before Christ) does not mean you own it. Britain and the United States had no business offering it to them.
Seriously people it you do it for one, doesn't it ring true that it should be done for all?
Just think of how many "people" could take their original land back. Heck if the Indians do it, there is no United States.
A big flip flop by the Democratic Party has replaced what was perceived as a big snub to Israel.
It was a stunning development. The party had dropped the assertion that Jerusalem was the capital of the Jewish state, but on Wednesday evening the Democrats had a change of heart. The vote went down just before 6 p.m. and it was quite contentious on the floor. It needed a two-thirds majority and it took three votes to get it, CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer reported.
And even after the vote, many thought the crowd of delegates on the floor was split 50-50, rather than delivering the two-thirds majority needed.
The Democrats caved, changing the platform language to reflect that they now regard Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It came about as a result of intense political pressure,”
