The State Department's Jerusalem syndrome (Update with Obama's own words about Jerusalem being Israel's capital)

Caroline Glick   "I went to the US Consulate this week to take care of certain family business. It was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. I think it is ironic that two days after my extremely unpleasant experience at the consulate, State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland refused to say what the capital of Israel is. It was ironic because anyone who visits the consulate knows that the US's position on Jerusalem is in perfect alignment with that of Israel's worst enemies."

Ms. Glick quotes these words by Yisrael Medad from the Begin Center:

But to the politics:  A rather disturbing pattern of behavior has emerged from the US Consulate-General in Jerusalem over the past years that would point to a need for Congressional review and oversight.

 Except for matters of passports, visas and birth registration, all other activities whether social, educational, scientific, sports, etc. are blatantly discriminatory in that no Jewish American citizen, who lives in the area supervised by the Consulate, can benefit from or take part in.  They are intended for Arabs solely.  

" I think it would be a helpful for the House Foreign Relations Committee to hold hearings on the manner in which the US Consulate in Jerusalem is run. Jewish US citizen residents of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria should be brought in to give testimony."


Update: Breitbart: FLASHBACK 2008: OBAMA 'JERUSALEM WILL REMAIN CAPITAL OF ISRAEL'  
He begins with "let me be clear", which is Obamese for "I really, really, reeeeally mean it at this moment".
