... connection to Jerusalem = Zion. Sadly, I am not sure the woman who stood there when Nuhah Arafat accused Jews of poisoning Arab children and then clapped her hands in approval would have any appreciation. And as for her boss, being a follower of Rev. Wright and a long time friend of Min. Farakhan, I doubt would care all together since after all, the matter has to do with understanding Jewish history and Jewish civilization.

They kept it a poor, impovrished, underdevelopped, lacking basic services East jerusalem and a prosperous, modern west jerusalem. They kept it a palestinian part and a jewish part. Don't patronize about not dividing since that is what israel has been doing all along..

Meca and Medina are Christian and Jewish.

and I'm sure there are plenty others you don't speak for both within and without Israel

It is very important at times like this that the Jewish people are unanimous and united in our resolve to keep Jerusalem FOREVER. Many of our ancestors have perished in a foreign land over the last 2000 years and have always hoped to go home and reinhabit The Holy City. The arabs only acknowledge Jerusalem becasue they knew of its great affinity with the "people of the book". Mecca is their Capital. How would they feel if we decided to halt building in Mecca. After 2000 years we came back to Israel, and after years of bitter fighting our Fathers managed to reestablish our prescence in the Holy City. Now obama wants us to give up our most prized gift from Hashem per his requests, or for "peace". The answer must be clear from the Jews, "If I forget thee Jerusalem, may my right hand wither". We will never let one inch of Jerusalem go. The Arabs should be grateful that they still have a presence in our city. When they occupied it they stopped Jews from visiting the Kotel. When they had jurisdiction over the Patriarch Joseph's Tomb, what did they do ? They destroyed it. The current situation calls for Jews all around the world, Charedi and non Charedi, Sephardi and Ashkenazi, Left wing and Right Wing to UNITE and say this is our view on Jerusalem. After all our ancestors went through we are not going to divide are small precious land for obama or arafat or ahmezoobijad. Our resolve is paramount, before relations with US etc. This is a matter of Jewish Identity and the will of G-d Himself ! May G-d always strengthen and help Israel Forever ! Amen !

And how many of the dispora jews forget it? they are so full of greed making money in the US and England and say "What do we need Israel for?" I've heard it. They consider themselves above us but when Barry Hussein bin Obama demands they all convert to Islam they will try and flood here like a pack of crows. He should be concentrating on looking after his own ethnic group, the violent gangs of the "hood" but then again he cheated many of them out of their money that they are now homeless. We can do without US, we can align ourselves to countries like India and join a struggle against these despots. Israel is ours and we should not thank the Brits for giving more than half of it away to a trumped up Jordanian King - conveniently married to a Palestinian from G-d knows which arab country. Wake up Jews of the dispora, you are being used. Hashem's glorious kingdom is for ever and ever, and we live in his glorious kingdom here on earth.

The president of the "Union of West bank Settlements".I am Israelie, want a two state solution to the "problem"and dont want any of these self elected people talking in my name.

Arab standard of living in East Jerusalem is tremendously improved by Israeli infrastructure, compared to conditions under Jordan before 1967. Although I favor a unified Jerusalem under Israel, I believe that an independent Al Kuds could be formed from the many Arab neighborhoods. Jews do not need to define Abu Dis and Shuafat as part of Jerusalem.

No one shares it capitol with an enemy sworn to destroy Israel & Jews. Obama thinks he can coerce Israel to do his bidding and miraculously peace will break out all throughout the Islamic world. The real truth is after listening to his Rev. Wright for 20 years Obama has been indoctrinated to hate Jews. Recent photos showing him worshiping a Islamic Mosques further confirms what we are all seeing to be real. We are in dangerous times and the entire Jewish community must stand firm with Israel and against the Obama plan to destroy Israel.

But I do not want to live in a Ghetto or be told what hat to wear or how to pray. Their idea of "PEACE" is "A PIECE OF THIS AND A PIECE OF THAT". They also think they have a claim to Tiberias, so where would you go then? Our land has eroded because of short minded people like you!

As I understood Clinton Family are relegious and they go to Churches. I am sure Clinton Family and all the Christians around the world know very well that JERUSALEM was the capital of Israel for more than 3000 years while Islam about 1400/1500 years.Wake up Mrs Clinton

No Arab leader wants you to have a democracy way of living. Although, the Palestinians have always been dirty, violent, stupid and brainwashed by your leaders, your leaders want full control of you. It is similar to Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the rest of your 22 Arab nations, including Jordan and Egypt. Your leaders don't want you to succeed in life and you know it, but than you look at Israel, 1st world country, beautiful buildings, playgrounds, trees and grass, open minded to all topics religions and so fourth. It's called democracy, so don't blame Israel for your problems. Tell that to your leaders and demonstrate against them...oh wait I forgot, you may be shot doing so...hehehehehe

worth answering ..that man .. even Prophit Moses PBUH couldn't tolerate you . the creator SW in the Holy Quran said that he will insert the hate against you......((((the prophites killers ,and the dibelievers ..the way he described you ))) .......in people hearts across the earth ...all over the place until the judgement day .. . this is very powerful i guess . one more miracle of the Holy Quran .... as for the settler ,let him take this bone i am throwing right now ..; over 3000 years ,you ruled Jerusalem 75 years ..only .. we are not counting the time since 1967 ..because you just live west of us .. we are Jerusalem ..you just built west of it ..sure you can stay there .

I have long lamented that although Israel is full of wise and courageous men and women, few make it to the Knesset. Fewer still make it to the top rungs of political leadership. Thus Israel is governed mostly by mediocrites. Men and women of little wisdom and less courage who are easily steamrolled by hostile leftists and foreign leaders. We need to change this situation. We need to assure that brave, strong committed Jews rise to the top levels of national leadership. The brave, true words contained in the Yesha letter to Clinton should be coming also from Bibi.

So obviously Vicky you will be happy to live in an Apartheid state and lord it over the natives.It did not last in South Africa and it will not last here. Open up your narrow mind and you will realise that current situation simply cannot go on.

The Jordanians really beat E. Jerusalem to hell, not to mention the time before 1920 when Arabs kept the place a mess for centuries prior to Jews pouring loads of cash into the city to build it up. But I agree with you. Israel's Leftist policies stopped it from fully annexing E. Jerusalem - a region previously cleansed of Jews - into a full city, with proper infrastructure, services, and obligations. It should have been done before and I hope it's done tomorrow.

Go to Hell, Gush Shalom! I won't give up my birth right to my holiest city because you have an unrealistic appeasement policy. We will fight you like we fight the Arab racists, because you both are the same.

They may have passed a resolution but it's non-binding and only calls on both parties to negotiate to an agreement. Right now, Israel has the upper hand and no UN involvement will change that. NO ONE has the right to cut us away from our holiest spot on Earth, just as the UN has no right to repatriate the Hashemites into Mecca and Medina, despite the right for Hashemites to be there.

Hmmm - you mean it's written in a holy book of a religion that wants to conquer other religions and be the supreme ruler of the Earth that Judaism is bad? How convenient "Pal". Does it say anything in your Koran about "palestinians"? Surely it does, just as you lay claim to other myths like: Jesus was palestinian, Hebron was never a Jewish site, and there was no Temple Mount (despite a 1925 Muslim Council tourism document stating otherwise). Perhaps you should read a little further and find the Sura predicting Jews return to their holy land and a curse on those (that'd be YOU) who oppose this will of G-d.

Can't be the "palestinians". Most came during the illegal economic migration in the 1930s and spoke 20 different languages. Pretty amazing for a group you consider "natives". As for your distortion of "apartheid" - apartheid is only a State-sanctioned oppression of CITIZENS along racial lines; considering the rights Arabs have, including being in our govt, it's hard to take your dumb-ass comment seriously. ...and "palestinians" are not our citizens. They are a group of Arabs who's sole goal is to destroy Israel and is receiving the response - nothing racial here. If anything, the Arabs are racists here because they want to destroy all Jews...even the nice, naive ones in Tiberias.

Unless you call the devil Holy? You hate the whole world because us smart people know the difference between good and evil. I am glad you are who you are, cause we just don't want you and your sub-human and barbaric ideology. It's hard to accept that the G-D of Avraham, Izchak and Yaakov chose the Hebrews, Israelits and the Jews as his chosen people. Get a life or just die.

strange name for an Israeli ? you are welcome to your opinion as are we but you cannot make us in your image cannot go to hell as there is no such place

1st of all I am not narrow minded or happy to live in an apartheid state. Over the years Israel has taken in more refugees from countries all around the world where it did - and still does exist. Left to the ordinary Arabs in this country they would be happy to live among us and had done before Arafat and UN interfered. Of course the current situration cannot go on. But the sole aim of the so called Palestinians is the death of not only us but Christians too, or anyone else that disagrees with them. The first they will start on is the Jewish people that stand along side them. They have done it again and again in other countries. Read your history of the world open your naive eyes. The Jews of Europe thought they were safe because they were Good Germans. And you insult the memory of the 20 million murders and possibly your ancestors. The Arabs are teaching their children from a very early age that we must suffer the same fate. Anti-semitism is rife all over the world and there is nothing worse than one of our own adding to it.

let me make it simpler for you ..# 17 did not put an example . Islam never said Judaism is bad ...big difrence between that and the Followers of Judaism . Torat is a holy book for us ..otherwise you won't be a Muslim .. this is where you ....and your friends are stuck at 5000 years ago ,the creator sent humanity 2 religions after yours ..5000 years later you are still stuck there ... Jesus is a nice guy and Mohammed is Crazy ..that is what you say . there were 2 major prophets with holy books followed yours ..you just brushed them off .. there were hudred of prophets without Books ..you killed them all . you are stubbern ,hard headded ,..i am not going to go on with the other qualities .... ..and the Quran spoke of your Characters in (((present tense )) not the past tense ..meaning .....you will never change...when a muslim 100 years from now reads the text ..it is still in present tense .. until the end of time .. one of the Quran Miracles .. did you get it now .??..

I think you are mistaken, ezra, it is not the UN's decision, it is G-ds! You will see soon!

Hearing you say that is like me saying I would like Bin Laden to take half of the USA for himself. That will sure "fix" the "problem" of him wanting to destroy my country!
