Jerusalem Birth Registration Concern

"Jerusalem".  Where is that?

As this report makes clear, if your passport does not list the country where you were born, as is the unfortunate practice of the US State Department as regards Americans born anywhere in Jerusalem, a case going before the US Supreme Court,

At least 150 people were killed in a series of gun and bomb attacks in northern Nigeria on Saturday, the Islamist Boko Haram sect claimed [Boko Haram means “Western Education Is Sin” in the regional Hausa language] .

...President Goodluck Jonathan condemned the assaults which officials said included at least five suicide bomb blasts...As corpses piled up in the morgue, a rescue agency official told AFP the body count stood at 150...

...A journalist described scenes of chaos and destruction in Damaturu. “In fact, Damaturu is looking just like Libya… burnt cars and buildings.” In a mainly Christian neighbourhood of Damaturu called Jerusalem, six churches were bombed in addition to a police station...

Now, I know Jerusalem suffered in the first decade of this century multiple terrorist attacks and suicide bombings, but the Jerusalem we are talking about is in Israel.

If the State Dep't policy continues, kids won't know where thet were born.

Government bureaucracy should clarify matters not confuse.
