A lesson in geography

You wrote that "This key decision – war or acquiescence – will take place in Washington, not in New York, Vienna, or Tehran. (Or Tel Aviv.) "

As far as I know, living in Israel as I do, Jerusalem is the capital of our country and the location of the Knesset (Parliament) and all government ministries except the Ministry of Defense. Tel Aviv is a good place to do business, bathe at the beach, see a play or concert, or regale oneself at a fine restaurant or cafe.

Most people outside of Israel also know that Jerusalem is our capital, though they might not like to admit it.

Is this an inadvertent slip of the keyboard, or did you wish to make a political statement?
