The U.S. State Department cannot acknowledge that any part of Jerusalem is in Israel. And how did they do this? By sending revised death reports to a woman whose father died in Jerusalem five years ago.
In an unprecedented move, the US Embassy in Tel Aviv has abruptly revoked a death report issued nearly four years ago to the family of an American citizen on the grounds that it listed him as having died in “Jerusalem, Israel,”The Jerusalem Post has learned.
In a peculiar twist, it appears the embassy’s decision is connected to a lawsuit filed against the State Department in Washington demanding that the word “Israel” appear on American passports issued in Jerusalem.
[…] At the time of her father’s passing, Serlin had filled out the requisite consular forms, and shortly thereafter received an official US document known as a “Report of Death of an American Citizen Abroad.” It listed her father’s place of death as “Jerusalem, Israel.”
[…] In an interview with the Post, Serlin expressed astonishment at the embassy’s handling of the matter. “I was surprised when I received the letter from them and the new forms on which the word ‘Israel’ had been removed,” she said, noting that, “I never asked them to correct it, so it seemed pretty clear they had done this because of the Zivotofskys’ court case against the State Department on this issue.”
And a hearty one-finger salute to the State Department, ever eager to help the Israel haters in their quest to delegitimize Israel.
Yes, kids, it’s that time again: Israeli Double Standard Time. Jerusalem, the city of David, is considered too “controversial” to acknowledge as a part of Israel, the nation of David.
