Not getting the point 101
Well, I'm not particularly surprised... but still a bit disappointed.
A U.S. District Court judge has ruled that, even though there is actually black & white legislation on the books recognizing Jerusalem as an Israeli city (not to mention the capital of Israel), there is no good reason why that fact should be reflected in things like passports and other consular documents issued by the State Department.
The judge's argument seems to revolve around a willful disregard of the issues involved, not to mention existing legislation.
It may seem like a small thing to many... but such deliberate action (or more correctly, inaction) is an indication of how far the U.S. will go in order to 'hedge its bets' and mollify the mullahs.
The full article in the Jeruslam Post is here, and a more detailed legal analysis from Arutz 7 is here.
