The memorial to President John F. Kennedy is shaped as the stump of a fallen tree, symbolizing a life cut short. Surrounding it are acres of pristine forest, planted long ago in his honor, with other adjoining acreage for his brother Robert, and still another for his son John, Jr.

The Kennedy Memorial is built on a tall plateau overlooking a lush valley so stunning it evokes images of Eden. On a clear day one can gaze all the way to the distant sea.

It is the largest memorial for the slain American president beyond the borders of the United States.

The 9/11 Living Memorial is shaped as a large bronze flag fluttering like a flame to symbolize the demise of the Twin Towers. Its base is made from the steel of the Towers. The names of all the victims of 9/11 are inscribed in the plaza surrounding the monument.

It is the largest 9/11 memorial beyond the borders of the United States.

Both memorials are in Jerusalem. Not London. Not Rome. Not Paris. Jerusalem, Israel.

No one from America asked or expected the Jews of Israel to build these memorials. But build them they did.

By a people and city that have always shared a sincere affection for the American nation, with a unique historical bond from the same Bible that inspired our ancestors to these shores to build a City on a Hill. A New Jerusalem.

So captivated were our Founding Fathers with Jerusalem that several studied Hebrew just so they could read the Bible in its original text. Abraham Lincoln wanted to travel there to be able to walk in the City of the Prophets.

This shows the sad state of politics when something as simple as keeping a campaign promise is considered revolutionary.

Why would the author use such a nauseating, repulsive example in an article like this?

Perhaps that's because "campaign promise" is universally recognized as a euphemism for a bald-faced lie.

The Arabs that matter allowed President Trump to toss the Palestinians under the bus.

“And when at long last the President of the United States gave his blessing to Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, the Jews illuminated the ancient walls of their city with American flags. They sang and danced in the streets, and blessed the Almighty.

And they gave special thanks to Donald J. Trump.”

Wow!

Also:
“Harry Truman did in 1948 when the U.S. became the first nation to recognize the new State of Israel.

Richard Nixon saved Israel in the 1973 Yom Kippur War with an unprecedented massive military airlift.

Both presidents suffered the opposition of allies and friends alike. Both were there for Israel when it mattered most.

And now Donald Trump has given the Jewish State the ultimate gift, during this the Season of Hanukkah.”

The Deep State has dominated foreign policy since the 40’s. Every time a president has taken a stand to support Israel or Make America Great, the long knives have come out, and the Socialist Left have gone into an attack mode. They assume that Christians and Jews will turn the other cheek, and swallow their propaganda.

Just watch in the coming days, as the MSM is used to slime and twist truth, and promote the Socialist Internationale agenda. Their ultimate goal is a worldwide socialist dictatorship, that leave no room for God’s people (Christian and Jews), or God’s peoples’ hopes of the Peace of Jerusalem.
