If I Forget Thee

Ted Strickland, who moved the God and Jerusalem Amendment (a good career move, as the saying goes), is probably at most indifferent on the Jerusalem question. But it will have been the secular Jewish Left's price for getting God back in. This should have been two amendments. There would have been a very different result.

Romney demonstrated his qualification, or lack of it, to be President by simply not knowing which city was the capital of Israel. So he took a guess. And he got it wrong. Yet now, as the price of not getting their beloved secularisation, the secular Jewish Left manages to rewrite the Democratic platform to agree with his basic factual error.

The American Embassy is in Tel Aviv. Because Tel Aviv is the capital of Israel. That is just a fact. A plain and simple fact. Like it or lump it. But neither Mitt Romney nor a (highly questionable) voice vote on the floor of the Democratic Convention can change it.
