I always wondered why Israel didn’t insist on keeping its embassy in Philadelphia, and not in Washington—why recognize our capital when we insist on keeping our embassy in Tel Aviv?

I also think Israel should call for the withdrawl of American settlements in Texas and California and the formation of the independent state of Aztlan in the occupied territories. . .

“As far as they are concerned, east Jerusalem, which was occupied during the Six Day War, is an occupied territory.”

Actually, I think it’s worse than this. If you are an American and have a child born in WEST Jerusalem—which has been Israeli since 1948—I think the US birth certificate will only list your birthplace as “Jerusalem”, but not, “Jerusalem,Israel”. (Maybe that has been changed by now, but I doubt it.)

Because we pay Israel's bills, not the other way around.

Which of the PAID for "settlements" or "occupied territories" would that be? As far as I know, between the Hildalgo and Gadsen Agreements and Treaties, they're bought and paid for.
