Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has called for moving the American Embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to Yerushalayim, a move that has been put on hold for years as former presidents continue renewing the veto, seemingly fearful of the Arab opposition that would be associated with such a step.
Calling Jerusalem the “undivided capital,” McCain stated future negotiations would dictate realities but he added during a campaign tour in Miami that “we should make the move before something happens.”

not the first candidate to say so…probably not the first to act.
THE EMBASSY WILL BE MOVED WHEN JONATHAN POLLARD GET OUT OF JAIL!!!!!! AND BOTH WILL ONLY HAPPEN WHEN AN ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER DEMANDS IT OR ELSE!!!!!!
“McCain stated future negotiations would dictate realities”
That is his escape clause. It won’t happen.
Or else what? we wont take the 3.4 Billion in aid?
AN ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER DEMANDS IT OR ELSE!!!!!!
OR WHAT? WELL MOVE THE ISRAELI EMBASSY TO BORO PARK?
the israli government would probably not allow such a move
funny thing is he just started advicating the move what ever happened to his years in the Senate. based on his record he never tried passing any such bill!!!
Its pretty common for candidates who are runing for president of the United states to say that. like with any other Candidate runing don’t trust them unless they can back it up.
Obama says he wants change but he no such record to back him up hes only been in the senate barely two terms and already wants to lead the nation.
the only record he has is voting 100% liberal on all accounts so dont think thats the man that will get my vote.
McCain is def. not my first choice but the better of the two for sure.
have an amaizing yum tov
Pre election RHETORIC, no American President has ever kept his word about an American Embassy in Yerushayalim, unless he is talking about having one in East Jerusalem for the Palestinean STate that America is rooting for.
I only wish he has the errr GUTS, yup thats the word, to do so but alas it wont happen b/c its also up to congress and they wont go along with it.
