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:

Obama's ultra-arrogant threat to the Israeli government is tantamount to saying 'No more Irishmen in Dublin.' 'No more Arabs in Baghdad.' 'No more Canadians in Ottawa.'

What would Obama's reaction be if Bibi justifiably responded 'No more Muslim-communist-appeasing, Chicago community organizers in Washington.'
