White House: The Capital of Israel Is…?


JayCarneyWhite House press secretary Jay Carney is asked by a reporter what is the capital of Israel and Carney doesn’t seem to have a position on that subject. I didn’t know it required a position to simply state what city is the capital of a nation.

Reporter: What city does this Administration consider to be the capital of Israel? Jerusalem or Tel Aviv?

Jay Carney, White House press secretary: Um… I haven’t had that question in a while. Our position has not changed. Can we, uh…

Reporter: What is the capital [of Israel]?

Jay Carney: You know our position.

Reporter: I don’t.

Lester Kinsolving, World Net Daily: No, no. She doesn’t know, that’s why she asked.

Carney: She does know.

Reporter: I don’t.

Kinsolving: She does not know. She just said that she does not know. I don’t know.

Carney: We have long, lets not call on…

Kinsolving: Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?

Carney: You know the answer to that.

Kinsolving: I don’t know the answer. We don’t know the answer. Could you just give us an answer? What do you recognize? What does the administration recognize?

Carney: Our position has not changed.

Kinsolving: What position?

Carney then moved on to another question.

    Jerusalem is the site of God’s Holy Temple, Israel’s Holy City, and Capitol. IT IS WRITTEN…I WILL BLESS THOSE THAT BLESS YOU, AND I WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU!! Thus sayeth the Lord God Yahweh!
    All who array themselves against Israel, or her people..SHALL FEEL HIS WRATH!! For HE shall Protect and Defend Israel with HIS STRONG RIGHT ARM, and HE WILL SCATTER THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL LIKE THE CHAFF IN THE FIELDS!! HE WILL PROTECT AND DEFEND ISRAEL, CAUSE HIS ANGELS TO PUT A HEDGE OF PROTECTION ROUND ABOUT HER, AND HE WILL PROSPER HER. THIS WILL HE ALSO DO FOR THOSE NATIONS THAT STAND WITH ISRAEL, AND ARE STEADFAST IN HER DEFENSE!

    WOE BE INTO THOSE WHO HEED NOT THE WORD OF GOD, AND COME AGAINST ISRAEL, FOR UNTO THESE SHALL BE MULTIPLIED, THE PLAGUES OF EGYPT AS IN THE DAYS OF MOSES!

    GOD SHALL SMITE WITH GREAT VENGEANCE, AND FURIOUS ANGER, ALL WHO WILL ARRAY THEMSELVES AGAINST ISRAEL, IN VIOLATION OF HIS WORD, AND LAW!!

    HE WHO HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR AND HEED THE SOVEREIGN WORD OF GOD!

    SELAH

    If you are a muslim then you want recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It was quite plain about their position because obama is a muslim and is sympathetic to the muslim brotherhood, it shows by the millions of dollars in tax payer monies that he has given them, just the latest was 1.5 billions dollars to the brotherhood. What a liar, cheat, ultra liberal muslim athiest communist! We better vote him out or you get what you deserve-total annihilation of the United States and your freedoms gone forever!

    Every country, including Israel, determines its own capital. Israel’s capital has been Jerusalem for thousands of years – period. Carney is a spineless coward and so is the Muslim he works for. It was obvious to every reporter in the room what the position of this deplorable administration is.

    The truth would condemn what they are doing to Israel – destroy her. Jerusalem is God’s city and Jerusalem belongs to Israel as her capital. The Jews will retain Jerusalem as their own because God will see to it.
