Says a federal court in Canada! The story explains that an Israeli-born Jew living in Toronto wanted "Jerusalem, Israel" listed as his place of birth on his passport. The court refused to appeal the decision since they claimed that Israel's capital is a matter of dispute.

Guess what, Sherlock? Same goes for the United States. they only put jerusalem and not "jerusalem,israel" for the same reason. (Which BTW is a violation of American law which is to list both city and country of birth on a citizen's passport)
