Interestingly, this now leaves the Republicans as the party with a platform that is less explicitly supportive of Israel in 2012 than in 2008. The 2008 GOP platform called for the embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The 2012 GOP platform is silent as to the location of the embassy. I'm not a the biggest fan of Israel, but long as the embassy is moved to the portion of Jerusalem that is within the 1967 borders, I see no reason not to, provided the Israelis pay the cost of building a new embassy. While de jure Israel only has legal claim to to what is within the Resolution 181 borders, pretty much every party in the region has accepted the 1967 borders as the de minimus Israeli territory if there ever is a peace settlement. The only ones that don't are the ones who reject peace.
