Olympics website omits Israelâs capital
EFLIn an online registry of the worldâs nations, organizers of the Olympic Games in Greece have omitted listing Israelâs capital. Is the US State Department hosting the site? Instead of Jerusalem, the entry for "capital" has an asterisk that corresponds to a footnote reading: "Please visit the official United Nations website for further information regarding the capital of Israel." Well, God willing, the UN will one day be an asterisk. The Olympics website also lists Israel under the category "Europe" while neighbors Jordan and Lebanon are listed under "Asia."
