WHO GETS TO CHOOSE A COUNTRY'S CAPITAL?Reader comment on item: Pretending Tel Aviv, Not Jerusalem, Is the Capital of Israel Submitted by SALLY LEVY (Canada), Feb 4, 2014 at 18:48 It's not the Media, nor is it public opinion's choice, or telemarketers doing surveys. Sovereign Countries worldwide have chosen their countries' Capitals, as has the State of Israel. Israel's Knesset, legislature, where Laws are passed or revised is in Jerusalem. The Supreme Court is located in Jerusalem. The Prime Minister is located in Jerusalem as are most MK's (members of Knesset). Wishful thinking, or references to Tel Aviv as Israel's Capital, won't make it come true.
