Netanyahu: Jerusalem is Ours, Not Up for Debate

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issued a sharp response Sunday to United States pressure to stop Jews from building in parts of Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinian Authority. Israel's sovereignty in Jerusalem is “not up for debate,” Netanyahu said, and Jews are permitted to build in any part of the capital city, as are Arabs.

Netanyahu implied that the U.S. request was racist, saying before the weekly Cabinet meeting, “Imagine what would happen if Jews were forbidden to live or to buy apartments in certain parts of London, New York, Paris or Rome. There would be an international outcry."

"All the more, we cannot to a decree like this regarding Jerusalem,” he said.

Over the weekend, the U.S. State Department summoned Israeli envoy Michael Oren and demanded that Israel halt construction of Jewish homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, near the ancient grave of Shimon HaTzaddik (Simon the Just). The property on which the homes are to be built has been owned by Jewish activist Dr. Irving Moskowitz for more than 20 years.

Oren told U.S. officials that Israel would not agree to stop building in the area.

Israel annexed Sheikh Jarrah and other Jerusalem neighborhoods following the Six Day War, in which the city was reunified after 19 years of Jordanian rule in the eastern half of the city. While Israel has maintained sovereignty in the capital city for more than 40 years, the Palestinian Authority continues to demand all areas controlled by Jordan in the 1950s.

The United States, along with most of the world, has refused to recognize Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem in deference to the PA. The American embassy is located in Tel Aviv, not Jerusalem, and American citizens born in Jerusalem may not list “Israel” as their country of birth on their American documents.

Israeli Muslim Children told Jerusalem Occupied, Raise Millions for Al Aksa

While Israeli leaders proclaim Jerusalem to be the unified capital of Israel, Israeli Muslim leaders teach their children that Jerusalem is rightfully Arab and Muslim. On Saturday, the Islamic Movement bussed thousands of Israeli Arab Muslim children to the Al Aksa Mosque on the Temple Mount, where they heard speeches referring to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem as areas “occupied” by Israel.

"We must remove the occupying forces from the mosque, and from all of Jerusalem,” said Sheikh Khamel Khatib, a senior Islamic Movement leader.

The children brought money which they had gathered throughout the year on behalf of the Islamic Movement. Donations came to roughly 3 million shekels, which Islamic Movement leaders said would be used for the Al Aksa Mosque and Islamic Movement institutions.

I believe that the US should ask all non native Americans to leave the island of Manhattan. The $47 of beads was not enough. Israel has a far greater claim of ownership to Jerusalem than we do Manhattan (non Indians never owned the land of Manhattan before we expropriated it.) Therefore, Netanyahu is correct in telling clinton that they do not have the right to lecture Israel about the ownership of land.

0bama thinks he can walk over who he chooses. I’m glad to see Bibi and Israel will call him out. See how that plays to people in this country when they realize how he wants to stick it to the Jews. He is everything they were warned about. What a disaster.

Not only that -- the $47 was paid to the wrong people!

The Dutch ran into some Indians from Brooklyn who were passing through on a hunting trip. Not the last time tourists have been conned by Brooklynites . . . .

Anyone remember this article?

Barack Obama wins 77 percent of Jewish vote, exit polls show

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1034574.html

Despite the tense rift between Republican and Democratic Jews over the course of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, exit polls on Tuesday showed that Barack Obama received about 77 percent of the Jewish vote.

Jeremy Ben-Ami, executive director of the J Street lobby group on Tuesday called Obama's victory a sign that the campaign waged against him by Republican Jews comprised "baseless smears." "We can only hope that these results put to rest for good the myth that fear and smear campaigns - particularly around Israel - can be an effective political weapon in the Jewish communit," he added.

So Israel tells Washington DC that they can’t build in a certain section of town. What do you think we would tell them. Well...this works the other way around also. Go Israel and your great leader Netanyahu.

Question: How many rounds of 120mm HE does it take to obliterate the Al-Aqsa mosque? Let’s do an experiment to find out!

Again the US Dept of St, MSM don’t have any interest in understanding our Muslim friends. There is no debate. Any territory ever captured or ever walked on by a muslim is muslim territory. It is part of their tradition. That is why they kindly offer to relieve any of their faithful from the burden of their mortal coils if they convert. They only religion with enough sensitivity and kindness to offer such a gift to their followers. They muslims captured a large part of Europe and believe it is theirs as well all the way to Vienna. When Sobieski King of Poland leading a Christian alliance pushed back the arab armies. This occurred on Sept 11 1683. Their is no debating, there is only the battle over the souls in all the world. Not really that important of a topic.

Mohammad never even set foot in Jerusalem. They consider it the third most holy site in Islam because after his death, it was thought that Jerusalem was the site of his night flight. His night flight was to heaven aboard Baraq the winged donkey (yeah, nice name).
