Just about a week and a half ago was the 17th day of the month Tammuz in the Jewish Calendar. It marks the anniversary of the day the Roman siege broke through the walls of Jerusalem almost 2000 years ago. It is also the start of a three week mourning period leading up to Tish'a B'Av (this year starting on the evening of July 29th) which is (along with Yom Kippur) the only full day fast on the Jewish calender it marks the day that both of the Jewish Temples were destroyed.
This year it is not the Romans trying to separate Jerusalem from the Jewish People, it is Americans, specifically President Obama and his "anti-Jew crew."
Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren was summoned urgently to the State Department over the weekend to hear a demand that Israel must stop a private construction project in its capital. The project is being carried out at the site of the Shepherd Hotel in Sheikh Jarrah, near the Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem on land that has been owned by Jews for nearly 25 years.
The owner of the property, is Dr. Irving Moskowitz, who has built other projects in eastern Jerusalem – most notably the Maaleh HaZeitim neighborhood in Ras el-Amud, below and to the south of the Temple Mount.
Reportedly the Ambassador told the state department that it will not stop the construction and the Prime minister and other Knesset members blasted the US Demand:

Zero should study up on his ancient and modern history because history is not kind to he who screws with the Jews.
The leadership in this country has sunken to a new low. I hope our brothers in Yisrael realize that this is not the opions or hope and desires of the average American. Pray for the peace of Yahrushalem.
The Israelis shouldn’t read more into this than any other outrageous demand. They should just succinctly state that this is Israeli sovereign territory, that the US has no business in interfering in Israel’s internal affairs, and importantly, to add that if the US is willing to accept the Palestinian immigrants it feels are unfairly treated, that Israel will be more than willing to pay for their one way ticket to the United States.
And once again, let me suggest that Israel should offer each and every Palestinian on the Gaza Strip a percentage of a pool of $10 billion to permanently emigrate to Egypt. Evenly divided between all of the Gaza Palestinians, this would amount to three times the annual wage in Egypt.
A family of six would therefore be paid 18 times the annual average salary in Egypt. This would easily make them middle class, by Egyptian standards, so they would not be charges on Egyptian society.
However, in accepting the money, they would forgo any future right or ability to return to Gaza, the West Bank, or Israel, forever.
For a limited time, such a payment would be voluntary. But any Gazan engaged in criminal activities would be deported to Egypt as well.
G-d to Obama.... Repent while you still have time....
WASHINGTON — In a speech that drew standing ovations at the annual policy conference of the largest pro-Israel lobby in America, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president says he supports Jerusalem as Israel's undivided capital.
HISTORIC Senator Obama waves upon finishing his speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy Conference 2008, yesterday, at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
"Let me be clear," Senator Obama told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. "Israel's security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable. The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive, and that allows them to prosper. But any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized, and defensible borders. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."
Suckers!
Send a message to Obama. Visit this link:
Make a donation to help Israelis build and “settle” Judea and Samaria.
Fill out an e-mail form to Obama letting him know your act of anti-appeasement defiance in support of Israel.
Yes, too many Jews fell for this garbage simply because he has the magic "D" next to his name - and maybe because of his color. There is deep current of masochism in the mind set of the typical Jewish "liberal."
Obama should start reading the Bible. He doesn’t know WHOM he’s messing with.
Relocate the Palestinians to North Dakota. The state's economy is booming.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

HOBAMHA HA HA HA....This guy is so “funny” and BTW he is POTUS
Iroquois Country telling Jews where they may live in Jerusalem. O Bama, thy legacy doth suck wind.
Remember at his core he is a full blown narcissist and his over inflated EGO. For all those twenty+ years of sitting under the mentoring of IR-Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers and those ultra-leftist terrorist goons the only things settled in his heart is 1) The Utter Destruction of America from within and 2) The Utter Destruction of Israel by hindering their defenses and strengthening their enemies.
It’s also not kind to those who try to make piece with Islaam, and lionizes those who recognize them as a threat and fight back accordingly. Just wait 25 years and then see what they’re teaching school kids about Dubya.
Egypt wouldn’t accept that, but Canada is a real big country that’s only lightly populated.
“G-d to Obama....Repent while you still have time....”
You are right Gramma. Unless, he is like Pharoah and the Lord allows his heart to turn to stone.
There is that, isn’t there...
