As far as i know,  Germany was a united sovereign country in 1999  well past post cold war.  Russia had no business where embassies were located, and the US could put it anywhere Germany wanted it. 

Israel/Palestine and Jerusalem is a very different situation.
East Germany was never part of the Soviet Union, nor was it inhabited by Russians. Russia has no territorial claims in Germany. Should the Russians also be upset about where western embassies are located in all the other former Soviet Bloc countries?
Israel is a sovereign country. East Germany was an East-bloc country subject to invasion in the manner of Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968. The Soviet/Russian claims were as genuine-- or not genuine, as the Arab claims.
