I've Been Thinking:

After removing Jerusalem and God from the Democratic platform both are back in good standing.

The new platform reads: "Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel." And: "The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths."

In a statement read by Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz the correction was explained. She said: "The platform is being amended to maintain consistency with the personal views expressed by the President and in the Democratic Party platform in 2008."

God was returned to the platform echoing exactly the 2008 language with the lines: "we need a government that stands up for the hopes, values and interests of working people and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential."

The mistake was taking them out. They were not returned because of Republican outcry or Israel or AIPAC. No one could actually say who took them out and who had the final say in the platform.

It is clear that Jerusalem and God were reinstated in the Democratic platform because it was wrong to take them out and the masses i.e. voters wanted them back in.

There is always a bottom line.
