No, it shouldn't. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory that is not part ok the United Kingdom. The same goes for the two bases in Cyprus.

How many people contributing to JetPunk are looking for every opportunity possible to convince the rest of us that the capital of Israel is Jerusalem? No, doesn't take Tel Aviv.

because it is??? political opinions shouldnt matter here. it is what israel declared at its capital so thats it. tel aviv has nothing to do with being a capital anyway, why would they take it?? same way they shouldnt take haifa/petah tikva/eilat etc etc

Shir is obviously referring to individual's opinions. If I'm not mistaken, all capitals declared capitals by the head of a country are the capitals of that country.

Jerusalem is the official capital, even if there are some government offices in Tel Aviv. By comparison, the entire national government of the Netherlands is based in the Hague, but nobody is arguing that Amsterdam isn't the capital.

Arlington is the capital of the U.S. That's where its most powerful branch is headquartered.

The difference between the Dutch case you've mentioned and Israel is that Netherlands did not illegally occupy (By illegal, I mean breaking UN-International laws) Amsterdam to declare it as their capital. Countries can have administrative capitals sure, but declaring capital in a contested territory with little legal legitimacy? Eh

Um, what? All three branches of the US government operate from Washington D.C.: Executive from the White House, Legislative from the Capitol Building, and Judiciary from the Supreme Court Building. I'm assuming you're talking about the Pentagon, which is in Arlington. However, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security are both cabinet positions (in the Executive Branch) and are subject to the President's authority, who operates from the White House. So none of the branches are headquartered in Arlington.

Until they change the definition of capital to be the city where most foreign embassies are, then Tel Aviv isn't the capital of Israel.

How many people are going to take every opportunity to argue in the comments that Jerusalem *isn't* the capital of Israel? Israel gets to decide where its capital is, and Tel Aviv "ain't it".

JetPunk does not recognize Palestine as a country. Don't get mad at KoljiVriVoda for this.

So if JetPunk is not recognising it doesn't mean it should be excluded. You have to open your closed minds
