“The UN and the World recognised the creation and existence (and right to exist) of Israel” Indeed. Within its borders…

“It’s the inherent right of a nation to name it’s own capital” Indeed. Within its own borders. Israel has never legally annexed ANY territory to the State of Israel as it was originally recognized.

Jerusalem was not within the territory allotted for a Jewish State under the partition plan accepted by the Jewish Agency. Nor was it within the sovereign extent of Israel as recognized by the International Community beginning May 15th 1948. Corpus separatum has never been instituted. Only Israel has been legally separated from Palestine. Jerusalem has never been legally split from Palestine Israel has yet to legally annex any of the territory it has acquired by war. UNSC res 476 encapsulates it nicely... "1. Reaffirms the overriding necessity to end the prolonged occupation of Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including Jerusalem;"

CHRISTIAN MIDDLETON,
“The UN and the World” recognised that Jerusalem was supposed to become an “international area”.
you ask me to “tell me any other country that has been dictated to on what to name as it’s capital” I ask you to tell me the name of another country that was created through a resolution of the UN (after that until few years before the 9/10 of the total population was arab-palestinian).
.
the “childish ignorance” is the one that you show writing these arguments. no state in the world recognizes israel beyond the green line and no state in the world recosnizes israel as the “undivided capital” of israel. don’t be angry. you have to learn to cope with this.

Berl..

not angry, just dismayed at the level if childish ignorance on this article and comments.

The UN and the World recognised the creation and existence (and right to exist) of Israel.

Now, you tell me any other country that has been dictated to on what to name as it’s capital. It’s the inherent right of a nation to name it’s own capital.

Israel chose Jerusalem, end of story. It has no basis for conversation or debate.

Christian,
just to know, which resolution of the UN did “RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL”? or perhaps we should consider an internet page as an internationally recognized agreement? You look angry, but also funny:-)

DO YOUR RESEARCH PROPERLY !!!

BOTH THE US & THE UNITED NATIONS RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL..

THIS IS A GRATUITOUSLY ANTI-SEMITIC ARTICLE.

THe issue of the capital is a secondary issue, rather the size of Palestine and the size of Israel should be the main issue here? It seems that the numbers do not agree with any official site I have visited? They vary according to which State you visit? There seems to be no consensus on the size of the state of Israel either?

I’m agree with Rose about the bullshits, but the politic is another thing. They’ll use everythings to have votes, in particular the ignorance of the Israeli about their “jewish” ancestors. We must reply.
To others, the BBC is a western-media, that reported the baddest misinformation about Palestinian struggle in recent years(It didn’t report it). It’s also the newspaper that covered the accusation versus Iraq about the mass distruction’s weapons, the misinformations about the war in Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, Libya and now Syria.
Attention to false friends.

zaizafuna,
“zionist entity” is not less stupid than settlers and racists that claim that palestine and palestinians never existed. if you like or not israel is a reality and if you want to support the palestinian cause and help people to understand which price they paid (and are still paying) is better if you put aside your “settler vocabolary”. otherwise you just build up a ‘mental wall’, the same that settlers need
