Was that a pun, as in “emnity”?
A consulate isn’t an embassy? Which ones on the list are actual embassies?
The ones that don’t say consulate are embassies. A consulate is a satellite of an embassy. The official ambassador to a country is based in the embassy, which is in the capital, but many nations have multiple consulates in other large cities. Few countries recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, but might maintain a consulate there anyway, as it is still a large city, and is sensible in the case of the US, anyway, as there are large numbers of Americans living in Jerusalem, probably more than in Tel Aviv.
If you live in a large “hub” city in the US, there are likely hundreds of consulates in your city (I have visited the Israeli consulate in San Francisco) - although the actual embassies are located in Washington, DC.
Yes but by tradition embassies are located in the nation’s capital. Therefore those countries that have an embassy in Jerusalem (not a mere consulate) are giving legitimacy to Israel’s claim as Jerusalem as the capital.
Which is why I started the thread. Clinton wants to move our embassy there and Hezbollah says they will kill our diplomats. Have they blown up anyone else’s embassy in Jerusalem?
No.
This is a load of crap, IMO. The lack of embassies in Jerusalem is due to Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem, which was formerly in Jordan, and some see as part of the West Bank/Palestine. However, the Knesset and all governmental function stuff is in West Jerusalem (actually, south, I think, although my sense of direction is terrible), which has been part of Israel since its founding.
I don’t think the annexation has much to do with it since few countries had them BEFORE East Jerusalem was annexed
