ust days after the Zionist
Organization of America
pointed out in a legal brief
that the U.S. government routinely
refers to Jerusalem as a part of Israel,
the White House changed its website
to remove the designation.
The ZOM brief had been filed Aug.
5 with the U.S. Supreme Court as an
amicus or "friend of the court" brief
in a case that challenged the State
Department's decision to ignore a law
requiring it to list "Israel" on the pass-
ports of Americans born in Jerusalem,
if their parents request it.
The parents of Menachem
Zivotofsky brought the case after the
State Department said compliance
with the law would infringe on the
president's foreign policy powers.
In her brief, the ZOAs lawyer, Susan
Tuchman, pointed out that for years
"departments and agencies in the
executive branch of the United States
government have routinely referred to
Jerusalem as part of the State of Israel.
This designation has been a regular
and accepted practice, without any
evident impact on the president's pur-
ported recognition power."
In addition, the brief said the "State
Department will frequently defer to
citizens' personal preferences as to
how their birthplace should be record-
ed. Indeed, for those citizens born in
the U.S-recognized sovereign State of
Israel, the State Department will dis-
regard Israel's sovereignty and honor
citizens' request not to have 'Israel'
listed as their birthplace
Thus, it said, people born before
Israel became a state in 1948 in areas
that are indisputably recognized by the
U.S. today as under Israeli sovereignty
may opt to have "Palestine" listed
as their place of birth "even though
Palestine is not and never has been a
sovereign nation:'
Five days after filing of the ZOA brief,
the White House website suddenly
changed captions under pictures of
Vice President Joe Biden's trip to Israel
in March 2010 to remove references to
Jerusalem being in Israel. The change
was first reported in the New York Sun.
"President [Barack] Obama and his
administration should be ashamed
of themselves for taking these outra-
geous actions which will surely do
nothing to help the government's case,"
Tuchman said in a joint statement
with ZOA President Morton Klein. I 1
