Via Washington Free Beacon:
"The map of the Middle East displayed in an Obama administration video
released days before President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel shows the
Jewish state dispossessed of substantial parts of its current
territory, including its capital.
The map of Israel, displayed repeatedly during the video, shows the
Golan Heights, Jerusalem, northern Israel, and areas surrounding what is
currently the West Bank as non-Israeli territory. The Golan Heights is
shown as part of Syria; Jerusalem is shown as part of the West Bank; and
northern Israel is shown as part of Lebanon.
The itinerary on the White House website also implies that Jerusalem is neither Israel’s capital nor even part of Israel.
The president’s schedule lists two stops in “Tel Aviv, Israel” and
one in “Amman, Jordan” but his activities in Israel’s capital city are
identified as taking place only in “Jerusalem” — with no country name
attached. This keeps with a reluctantly-acknowledged administration
policy of denying that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital or even a part of
Israel."
This isn't the first time:
From The Weekly Standard ("White House Cleanses Israel From Website"):
At 3:22 p.m., I
posted this photo of Vice President Joe Biden and Shimon Peres, with
an accompanying caption that indicated it had been taken last year in
Jerusalem, Israel:
The point of posting the photo was to show that, although the State Department refuses to say that Jerusalem is in Israel,
even the White House website acknowledges this elementary truth (at
least for Western Jerusalem, west of the 1949 armistic lines). But not
any more. Within two hours of posting, the White House has apparently
gone through its website, cleansing any reference to Jerusalem as being
in Israel.
The caption now reads: "Vice President Joe Biden laughs with Israeli President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem, March 9, 2010."
It seems pretty odd that the vice president of the United States and
the president of Israel were meeting in a third country, but at least
the White House is now squarely aligned with the State Department.
