What does 'balanced' mean, in your view? 'Tends to print things I don't
like'? 'Something outside my the boundaries of my normal epistemic
closure loop'?
Anyway, article quotes an advisor to the President-Elect (one David
Friedman), saying he'll expeditiously move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv
to Jerusalem -- which The Guardian is accurately reporting because it's
truth and, y'know, part of the news.
If Trumpenführer does so, then points for him, and he'll have done
one thing right, IMO.
All this would actually entail is swapping signs on the present
Consulate General building, 18 Rehov Gershon Agron, Jerusalem, with
those on the present US Embassy building, 71 Rehov HaYarkon, Tel Aviv.
The bullshit excuse of 'the status of Jerusalem has not been settled'
has always been insultingly flimsy because, among other reasons, Agron
Street is in _West_ Jerusalem, _not_ part of what the UN considers
disputed territory.
