Obama to Say It Is Time to Divide Jerusalem
Flash Traffic E-mail | Joel C. Rosenberg

Posted on 05/20/2009 1:08:33 PM PDT by seanmerc

(Washington, D.C., May 20, 2009) -- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has just finished his visit to Washington. Full analysis on my weblog, including a link to the YouTube clip of me on Glenn Beck's show with a former CIA analyst who says he wouldn't care if Israel ceased to exist.

That said, there's more troubling news this morning. I'm horrified by credible reports that in his June 4th speech in Cairo, President Obama will say it is time to divide Jerusalem and make the holy city the capital of a Palestinian state.

No, Mr. President, it is not.

Jerusalem is and should be the eternal, undivided capital of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Dividing Jerusalem will not make peace. Rather, it would send a message to every Radical Islamic jihadist around the world that Israel is weak, that the Jews won't even defend the sovereignty of their own capital, that there is "blood in the water," and that it is time to strike Israel and wipe her off the map. Dividing Jerusalem would trigger an apocalyptic war in the Middle East the likes of which the region has never seen.

I assure you, Obama means biz when he says he wants a “peace” agreement by year-end.

Luckily, President Obama is only in the suggestion-making category, and not in the decision-making category, on the question on whether Jerusalem ought to be divided.

Maybe Washington DC ought to be divided with Canada: after all, the Canadians from York burned it down to the ground once-upon-a-time. That’s why the White House is white: it was whitewashed to hide the smoke stains on the stones. Canada probably have a legitimate claim.

This is just a reminder that there is no, zero, basis for a Middle East peace deal. The Pali’s, indeed all the Arabs, insist on a return to the 1967 borders. Does anyone remember that would put the Wailing Wall in Palistan?

I don't believe it will be contained to 'the region'.

Let’s hope these reports are wrong. Otherwise, this is a disaster. Would we divide Washington? Would the Arabs divide Mecca? Outrageous!

We know what will happen. The right half will prosper creating new businesses and jobs. The left half will be all government taxing each other with no private industry. Hmmmm....which side do you think would succeed?

I wonder what the Israelis think of the two faced liar now..He says one thing to their face and stabs them in the back when they turn around I say do what you have to BB since you will get no help from the liar .. The ones in NY city care less what their King does to their family’s and friends in Israel since they voted for him and would vote for him again if he ever had to run again..

Only the segregation won’t be racial—it will be liberal-socialist/conservative

Zer0, if you just gotta bow to somebody, I had much, much rather it be Bibi than the Saudi king. - (from a southern, white, conservative Christian)
