Obama flew to Israel to speak at the funeral of former President Shimon Peres, and the WH slaps Israel in the face.

The Obama Regime was apparently concerned about offending Muslims by acknowledging that Jerusalem is part of Israel.

Via Free Beacon.

The Obama administration stripped Jerusalem from being located in Israel in its official communication of the president’s remarks in the ancient city at a memorial service for recently deceased former Israeli president Shimon Peres. The White House, in a press release, originally sent out a press release attributing Obama’s remarks as taking place in “Jerusalem, Israel.”

Shortly after that statement was sent, the White House reissued the statement with “Israel” crossed out as the location.

The move follows a longstanding Obama administration policy of refusing to say that Jerusalem belongs to Israel. Doing so would prejudge the outcome of peace negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians, the White House says.

The White House has been caught in the past editing the captions on old official photographs to remove mention of Jerusalem as being in “Israel.”

One senior congressional aide who works on Middle East issues told the Free Beacon that the White House’s actions are offensive and out of line, particularly in light of Peres’ recent death.

    I’m sure that the UN’s location is written by the WH as United Nations not United Nations USA. Globalists don’t see the country, any country. Israel especially. So caving to Jew haters is easy. 2 State solution, 1 State solution, Zero State solution, might look remarkably similar to globalists. They don’t consider ‘progress’ to be forgetting.

    Obama never fails to dissappoint by embarassing the US in his visits to foreign nations ! The man is cannot even attend a funeral without causing controversy ! One of the worse Presidents in US History ! & now that he’s been in power every President who follows will have to deal with his carnage ! And if Clinton somehow wins it will get worse .
