The reason was that when Israel was set up in 1948, Tel Aviv ''was'' the capital. As far as the world was concerned, Jerusalem was to be a form of open city, which no-one side was to claim as their undisputed capital, given that for either side to do so would be a provocative affront to the others. Israel's unilateral selection of Jerusalem was seen as breaking one of the fundamental rules set out when Israel was created. Someone on the Israel page has said that I think only three countries in the world recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. I knew it was a small number, but not ''that'' small. (And that includes the US in 2002!) So I think if only 3 countries accept Jerusalem as Israel's capital, we cannot in all honesty list simply Jerusalem. If it was only 3 or 4 regarded Tel Aviv as the capital, then maybe so, but if 150+ states regard Tel Aviv, and 3 Jerusalem, we should automatically put in both.

Ah, I'm glad someone started editing Categorical Imperative. It's quite the worst article I've written... :-) Evercat 02:23 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Well, I'm glad it already had something written, I wouldn't have wanted to start from scratch. I've taken a few classes that studied Kant, but his writing is particularly impossible to penetrate, so I don't recall all the details (and it seems a lot of scholars disagree on how to interpret his writings anyway). Perhaps I'll scour some online philosophy encyclopedias for more info. -- Delirium 03:01 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)
It's so good to have someone to discuss philosophy with. :-) Evercat 00:18 6 Jul 2003 (UTC)

You are incorrect re Tel Aviv. According to the French Foreign Ministry, Tel Aviv is the capital. Ditto with Ireland, the US until 2002, most of Europe, etc etc. FearÉIREANN 01:26 11 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Ah, weird; thanks for the info. The basis of my reasoning was that all these countries listed Jerusalem as the capital prior to 1981 (and kept their embassies there), and the 1981 UN resolution only condemned the annexation and asked countries to move their embassies in protest -- it didn't say that Jerusalem wasn't Israel's capital, it only said that Jerusalem's unilateral expansion was illegal. Perhaps other countries have outside the UN changed their positions though. I'll look into it some more. --Delirium 01:50 11 Jul 2003 (UTC)
