(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - The U.S. policy of refusing to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is based on the colonial-era concept that the international community has more rights to the city than the people that live in it. The UN Partition Plan of November 1947 (Resolution 181) stated: "The city of Jerusalem shall be established as a corpus separatum under a special international regime and shall be administered by the United Nations." The unwillingness of the U.S. to recognize Israel's rights at least to west Jerusalem is rooted in that colonial past. It's one thing for the U.S. to refuse recognition of east Jerusalem as part of Israel, it's another to still view the Knesset as existing on some international landscape. 2016-12-22 00:00:00Full Article
