Al Jazeera Thinks Israel’s Capital is Tel Aviv
by Eric on September 3, 2008
It is far from news that the Arab world does not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I never thought about what they think is the capital, if they acknowledge that a country does, in fact, exist there.
According to Al Jazeera, it is Tel Aviv. This is a headline from an article. Normally a media source refers to the government of a country by its capital city name. For example, Washington, Damascus, London, Paris, Moscow…
Israel’s Interior Minister warns Tel Aviv against attacking Tehran saying such an attack would be a ‘megalomaniacal reckless’ idea.
That is straight from the source. Interesting to see what they will call an Israeli capital.
