C   (12.16.16)
for here comes good news to all jews and inhabitants of the land.

our holy city will be ours till time immemorial.
let the enemies wail and threaten, for no avail.
we shall never surrender.
we shall fight if need be, but make peace if possible.
a mighty leader has arisen in the west, a leader who is much mocked,
but who fears not. let the enemies make peace or tremble with fright.
2. TO MARK SHERRY-UNIVERSITE DE POTIERS.
FO ,   Belgium   (12.16.16)
Sorry to tell you, Mr. Sherry, but as an academic you should have known better. The "Fourth Geneva Convention" you mention several times is not applicable to Israel concerning the so-called West-Bank, and East Jerusalem. . The Fourth Geneva Convention was signed exclusively between "High Contracting Parties" that are independent states. The West-Bank and East Jerusalem are not and were never High Contracting Parties. The West-Bank and East Jerusalem are and remain a residual part of the "Mandate for Palestine" voted unanimously by all the 51 members of the League of Nations in 1922. The "Mandate for Palestine" gave the Jewish people the irrevocable right to settle anywhere on the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights, a right valid to this day as reaffirmed by article 80 of the United Nations' Charter. That means, Mr. Sherry, that all eventual anti-Israeli resolutions voted by UNSC or UNGA or other institutions, may be considered as having no value! Sorry to be compelled to give a lesson to the academic you are.
