Munich Terrorists Win Again: London Olympics Site Lists Jerusalem as “Palestine” Capital, Israel – No Capital
This year’s Summer Olympic Games in London will take place almost 40 years after the murder of Israeli Olympic athletes by Islamic terrorists. The anti-Israel International Olympic Committee still refuses to memorialize the Israeli athletes who were slain there, lest it offend Muslims. And, yet, the Palestinian terrorists were rewarded with a UN mission not long after the murders. And, now, they have an official Olympic delegation, which they’ve had for years, despite the fact that there is no official country called, “Palestine.” Plus the Olympics even drops the bikini requirement from women’s beach volleyball to appease Muslims. And to add insult to injury, Tom Gross noticed that until this morning, the London Olympics website listed Jerusalem as the capital of “Palestine” and listed Israel as a country with no capital at all. (Now, neither has a capital listed.) Here is the screenshot Tom captured:
Yup, the Munich Olympic terrorists win again. See, terrorism pays. And not only do we negotiate with terrorists, we give them Olympic delegations and stolen capitals that have been Jewish for thousands of years.
Oh, and don’t forget how much of your tax money is going to help pay for security there for wealthy athletes like this pro-Iranian bim.

Debbie there was recently a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, Zivotofsky v. Clinton, in which Menachem Binyamin Zivotofsky, now 9 years old, sue to have the RIGHT to identify Jerusalem, ISRAEL as his place of birth, and not just “Jerusalem,” with no named nation.
The reason this case has gone up to the Supreme Court is because OUR U.S. State Department has fought the Zitofskys to the bitter end! Moreover, this is not just a problem with the Obama administration, but goes back to both Bush administrations as well. This is a big part of the problem: the U.S. Government seems to think that it’s better to remain “neutral” rather than to truly recognize Jerusalem for what all civilized people do: as the capital of Israel. So, it will be very difficult to get the UK to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital– if our own U.S. Government will not do so, demonstrating that its leadership is a miserable moral and ethical failure.

Recently, the Supreme Court ruled on the case, and pushed it back to the lower court, as noted below:
Justices push Jerusalem passport case to lower court
The case involves a boy born in Jerusalem whose parents want his passport to list ‘Israel’ as his birthplace, in conflict with U.S. policy.

Middle East conflict — who has sovereignty over Jerusalem — ruling that courts have the power to decide whether Congress can order that passports for U.S. citizens born there list “Israel” as their birthplace.
The justices, ruling 8 to 1 on Monday, passed the decision back to a lower court. So Menachem Binyamin Zivotofsky, now 9, will have to wait to find out what his passport will look like.
