It’s not that other countries are telling Israel what it’s capital is, they’re saying the Jerusalem literally is not a part of Israel.

The UN is irrelevant in this situation. Is the UN and the international community also going to demand that the British give up all the territories they took over during war too or is only Israel required to do so?

If they are telling Israel or the world that Jerusalem isn't a part of Israel they are even more delusional than thought.

Israel captured east jerusalem from JORDAN in a defensive war, Jordan didn't want it back...it is Israel's...period.

We don’t do expansion by conquest anymore. Not in the second half of the 20th century, or later.

A victory in a defensive war is not conquest.

Exactly. I don't see the screams of illegality about all the territories the British gobbled up. This is just partisan BS from the UN and the sissy international community.

Of course it is.

The double standard will never cease to exist.

Is anyone else puzzled by this? I mean Israel, if it is a sovereign state recognized internationally by most nations, should they be able to pick their capitol and then other nations act accordingly?
