On a 1932 US Passport: ‘Jerusalem, Palestine’

An American man was going through his grandmother’s old belongings when he stumbled upon a surprise that completely changed his perspective. He found his grandmother’s original passport, issued in 1932, which clearly stated: “Jerusalem, Capital of Palestine.” Overcome with shock, he grabbed his phone and began recording, his hands trembling as he said, “They lied to us… Palestine has always existed, and Jerusalem was its capital.”
This passport is genuine—a historical document over 90 years old. Documents and history do not lie.
