“Over the past 40 years, there has not been a government in Israel that agreed to limit building in Jerusalem,” Netanyahu said, ticking off the name of every prime minister since Golda Meir and making a clear reference to the furor over last week’s announced plans to build 1,600 units in Ramat Shlomo, which has triggered harsh censure from the US.
Referring to all the new Jewish neighborhoods built beyond the 1967 borders in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said, “All of our governments built in Gilo, Ramot, Neveh Ya’acov, Ramat Eshkol, French Hill, Pisgat Ze’ev, Ramat Shlomo and elsewhere. Building these Jewish neighborhoods did not harm the Arabs of east Jerusalem in any way and were not built at their expense. Nearly half of the Jewish population in Jerusalem now lives in these neighborhoods. These places are not far away; they are a few minutes’ drive from here. They are less then 6 km. from the Knesset.”
Netanyahu said there was nearly complete agreement in the Knesset that these neighborhoods would remain part of Israel in any final-status peace deal

GOD Bless Bibi!
I don’t really give a rat’s butt where it is in relation to borders or lines. Jerusalem is in Israel.
Shalom Bibi
Pray for America and Israel
There never needs to be a logical reason for the ungodly to hate Israel. They’ve been doing it for thousands of years. It’s infuriating to watch, but this is prophecy unfolding before our eyes. We’re the only ally Israel has, and she will have zero (earthly) allies when Russia leads a massive coalition of Muslims against her. It ain’t gonna end well at all for that coalition, and there will be no doubt as to who fought for Israel.

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
And apologies for the many pings, but it's better than the days when they were about terror attacks.

Which doesn't mean the President of the United States can't do whatever he can to stop the desecration of Muslim land.
Maybe someone should explain that to Joe Biden who is now calling for a “contiguous” Palestine.
Maybe Obama has given Israel the green light to hit Iran and all this is an orchestrated attempt to put distance between USA and Israel so Obama can act shocked when Israel hits hard. Naaaaaahhhhhhh. never mind.
Go Bibi! Tell ‘em like it is! Don’t ever back down to these idiots. One is not an American, and the other does not speak for Americans!
Amen, MM
Not so far fetched after all....aricle somewhere here On FR said bunker bombs and a host of other bombs left California for ME.
I also think quite possible the flack between Israel and Us is on purpose. We all know the US fully supports Israel...even congress came together in show time last year..and many other ME countries want to see Irans facilities taken out and have stated so. This may just be part of the plan to devert attention and confound them....prior to the strike?
