Statements of the obvious are not always… obvious. Sometimes they need repeating to make a simple but vital point. So: every nation chooses its own capital.
It is, for example, no one’s business but France’s that Paris is its capital. Similarly, it is no one’s business but Israel that Jerusalem is its capital, with its government offices and the Knesset.
Once that fundamental point is understood, it follows that it makes sense for other nations’ embassies to be in Jerusalem – the capital of Israel.
It is at this point that the cry goes up that a dispute exists over Jerusalem. A further statement of the obvious is then necessary.
