US Jews demonstrate to move US embassy in Jerusalem
http://zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2008/11/us-jews-demonstrate-to-move-us-embassy.htmlTjere is no chance Barack Obama will move the US embassy to Jerusalem. This is a promise that has been broken by several presidents, notably George Bush. However, it is important to keep this issue alive. It is an example of blatant and insulting discrimination and kow-towing to Arab oil interests and pressue.
Members of US Jewish Orthodox Union gather in Jerusalem near site earmarked by US to serve as its embassy in capital, call on president-elect to 'show support for Israel by moving the embassy here'
"President Obama likes using the word change. It is time for change. Now is the time to show support for Israel by moving the embassy here," Orthodox Union President Stephen Savitsky told AFP.
Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Danny Ayalon said that if the US embassy were moved to Jerusalem, other countries would follow suit.
"When it moves its embassy to Jerusalem, other civilized states will move their embassies here," Ayalon said.
There are no embassies in Jerusalem. They are in the commercial capital Tel Aviv.
