On Tuesday, The Weekly Standard\u2019s deputy online editor, Daniel Halper, made a noteworthy charge against the White House.<\/p>\n

Following an article in which he discussed the ongoing debate over which country the U.S. believes Jerusalem is in (hint: It\u2019s not Israel),\u00a0Halper claims<\/a>\u00a0that the White House \u201ccleansed\u201d its site of references to the city being definitively tied to the Jewish homeland.Let\u2019s start with a recent State Department press release, highlighting the United States\u2019 official stance on Jerusalem (Halper cites this<\/a>\u00a0as well):<\/p>\n

QUESTION:<\/strong>\u00a0What is the State Department\u2019s position regarding American persons born in Jerusalem who wish to have passports issued that indicate their place of birth as Israel?<\/p>\n

ANSWER:<\/strong>\u00a0Current U.S. Government policy is that U.S. citizens born in Jerusalem may not have \u201cIsrael\u201d listed in their passports as their place of birth. See the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Foreign Affairs Manual\u00a07 FAM 1300 Appendix D<\/a>\u00a0for further details.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Appendix D\u00a0reads<\/a>:<\/p>\n

As a result of the June 1967 Arab-Israeli War, the\u00a0Government of Israel currently occupies and administers the Golan Heights, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. \u00a0U.S. policy recognizes that\u00a0the Golan Heights is Syrian territory, and that the West Bank and the\u00a0Gaza Strip are territories whose final status must be determined by\u00a0negotiations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

While the U.S. is clearly undecided on the issue, Halper highlights a photograph on the White House web site that, until last evening, allegedly had a caption that included \u201cJerusalem, Israel\u201d (i.e. admitting that Jerusalem is a part of Israel). Following Halper\u2019s article, the image\u2019s caption (by his account) changed. Here\u2019s the original image (notice the reference to Jerusalem, Israel):<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
