LAW OF THE LAND

When yesterday’s round table discussion on ABC News This Week turned to the rift between the U.S. and Israel, George Will said:

“U.S.-Israeli relations are worse now than they have been in the 62 years that Israel has existed. It's the only nation in the world with which we have worse relations. What nation is that? It's the only democracy in the Middle East, the only salient of our values in that inhospitable region, the only reliable ally there. And we are treating it as a problem because the Jews in a Jewish section of Jerusalem have decided to build 1,600 housing units.

It is the law of the land, expressed in the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, that Jerusalem shall be the united capital of the state of Israel, PERIOD.”

When the ZOA slammed Hillary Clinton (CLINTON IS AS BIG A LIAR AS OBAMA [3-28-10]) for doing a 180 degree turn on her support for an “undivided Jerusalem” as Israel’s capital when she campaigned for and served in the U.S. Senate, it wrote:

"Your shocking words about Israel building in east Jerusalem is especially perplexing in light of the fact that you have ignored Congress passing the 'Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995' by a margin of 93 to 5 in the U.S. Senate and 347 to 37 in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Act which is U.S. Law stated:

(1) Jerusalem should remain an undivided city.
(2) Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of the state of Israel.”

My question is: WHAT PART OF THAT LAW DO OBAMA AND CLINTON NOT UNDERSTAND?
