Well said, Mr Olmert. As a Christian, I know Jerusalem is the Jews' capital. It has to remain so for ever.

Reclaim The Temple Mount http://www.har-habayt.org/ Whoever has the keys to the Temple Mount, Has The Keys To Eretz Yisrael

There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. At the time of Muhammad's death, there was not a single mosque in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Bible, not once in the Koran. Muslims pray facing Mecca. It is Muslim practice to take over, desecrate and destroy the holy sites of other religions-Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, et al. Muslims build mosques on top of the holy sites of other religions to signify that their religion is superior to all others. Muslims did this on the Temple Mount. During Jordan's illegal occupation of Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem from 1948-1967, no foreign Arab leaders visited Jerusalem. Jordanian radio broadcast Friday prayers not from Al-Aqsa Mosque, but from a mosque in Amman. Jordan destroyed 58 sacred synagogues in Jerusalem. Jordan's army desecrated the 2,500 year old Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives and used Jewish tombstones for pavement and latrines. All land, homes and buildings seized in the 1948 Islamic invasion of Judea, Samaria, Gaza and east Jerusalem must be returned to Jews immediately. 13th Century Arab biographer Yakut, noted: "Mecca is holy to Muslims; Jerusalem is holy to the Jews"

Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C., Jews have had dominion over Israel for 1,000 years with a continuous presence in the land for 3,300 years. Israel's most famous king, King David founded Jerusalem. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Arab Muslims first started calling themselves "Palestinians" in 1967. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. When Jordan illegally occupied Jerusalem from 1948-1967, Jordan never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Bible, not once in the Koran. Reigious Jews pray three times a day in the direction of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is mentioned constantly in prayers. Passover Seder ends with: "Next year in Jerusalem!" And at the conclusion of Yom Kippur. Jerusalem is mentioned in the blessings at the end of meals. During Jewish wedding ceremonies, the groom breaks a glass as a sign of mourning of the destruction of the two Temples, accompanied by Psalm 137: "If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy." During the First and Second Temple periods, the Temple was the central focus of Jewish life. The First Temple was built by King David's son, King Solomon. Bible, 2 Chronicles 2:4: "Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the L-RD my G-d, dedicating it to Him, to burn fragrant incense before Him and to set out the showbread continually...on sabbaths and on new moons and on the appointed feasts of the L-RD our G-d, this being required forever in Israel." The One great G-D of the Universe returned Jewish Holy Land and holy places to the Jews in the 1967 Six Day War. In rebellion against G-D, Israeli leaders gave control of Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount, to Islamist religious supremacists. Israel's police desecrate G-D's name, scandalously obeying the Muslim Waqf, arresting Jews and Christians if they pray, or are suspected of praying, at the Temple Mount - in disobedience to G-D who commanded in the Bible, Isaiah 56:7 - My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples. Islamist control of Jewish land and the holiest site on earth brought death and war to Israel. End the rebellion against G-D! Return control of the Temple Mount to Jews immediately!

At least as far back as President Roosevelt, world leaders including Roosevelt have recognized the international, almost universalistic aspect of Jerusalem - calling for it to be a shared city, administered by all three religions. Olmert chooses narrow, divisive, Selfness ahead of the enlightened self-interest of Brotherhood with all nations. It says to me that those like Olmert would rather have nothing if they cannot have everything - blind to the truth that they can have everything by sharing and through the belief in the brotherhood of Man. Putting it another way - the manufacture of steel is the combining of two weak substances that together, are far stronger than the sum of their two separate parts. I believe that this would apply to a unified state between Jews and Palestinians, and I believe that this would apply to a jointly administered Jerusalem. Bring the people together and see their strength for good, and the flowering begin throughout.

JERUSALEM ETERNAL CAPITAL OF JEWISH LAND OF ISRAEL !!!!!!!!

#5 Why don't you make Ottawa the universal capital

Olmert is so full of crap it isn't funny. The Hizbullah are rearming and now even Russia has sent in their Chechen squads to assist Hizbullah. How pray tell is this GOOD news for Israel? I think the Christian zionists know that he has to be 'deposed' or Jerusalem will be divided. He has every intention of doing so.

because we will never never accept any peace without a solution of a capital for two states

G-D's character is perfect - G-D keeps all His promises! The Creator of the Universe has the right to give Land to whoever He chooses. There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Hebrew Bible, not once in the Koran. The eternal, all-knowing G-D WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE is not a man that He should change His mind! G-D NEVER changes! G-D's word NEVER changes and CANNOT be replaced with other scriptures. The Hebrew Bible is forever. The murderous dispute of Islamist religious supremacists is with G-D, for it is G-D - Master of the Universe, who gave the Promised Land to Jews. Israel has always kept to the Biblical morality of her G-D given borders. G-D states repeatedly in the Bible He has given Israel to Jews as an eternal possession. Bible, Psalm 105:8 "He has remembered His covenant forever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations. The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac. Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance." Who will dare to give away even one inch of the land G-D gave to Jews and who will dare to take or steal it? Who will dare make war against this great, this mighty and awesome G-D? Bible, Psalm 119:120 "My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments."

you can love jerusalem as much as you want, you can pray, live, prosper and nobody have any objection. as a matter of fact the jews are smart and want you to be prosper, because your prosperity is their prosperity. what they are objecting is dhimmi status, and shariat law (period)

Miss Linda, have you ever read the alqoran to say that jerusalem has never been mentioned??!!!!!!! Your information is not right, read it and then come and say your opinion.

Why you love the Jerusalem is the big question. Your hate for the Jews is not reason enough, to declare your love for Jerusalem. Read number 3 and 4. There is the truth and then there is made up truth. It's your choice.

in the book of jafer23;-71 those around the city ofquds shal be conquered and enslaved by you my peoppe the jaafri each wi have 6000 of their prime and you wil have the kingdom for 70 years. the jaafri of these days are well known see and say good bye orshalim

As even when you had East Jerusalem, you made war against the Jews.

i am a catholic but i do not think jerusalem is a jewish capital and i am sure it will not remain so.if it is capital now it is because of might not right. the might is american might. that could change.

living in REFUGEE CAMPS for DECADES! YOUR ARAB BROTHERS REFUSE YOU THE "RIGHT OF RETURN" TO YOUR HOMES IN JORDAN & EGYPT NO EDUCATION NO EMPLOYMENT NO HOMES DUST, DIRT AND ROCKETS HATE [FEAR] FILLED PEOPLE IGNORANT AS ALL GET OUT & HUMAN SACRAFICERS WHAT'S TO "ACCEPT"

Her arguments hold little to no water whatsoever. One can't be so propped up on theocratic rhetoric and expect their points to be taken seriously by rational thinking people.

Olmert will give away the east jerusalem and the old city to the hamas terrorists, anything to stay in office, anything to stay in power, just like ehud barak

muslim love jerusalem so dont try to destroy jerusalem by your sucide bomber funny

Catholic huh?? why is that word so familiar to these Jewish ears.... OH WAIT, I know. Catholics, the one's in charge of the spanish inquisition. Catholics, believe in the papacy which persecuted Jews ever since Catholicism existed. You know Hitler ericrock? He was Catholic. From my point of view those Catholics sure don't like the Jews. I don't think the pope deserves a whole city to himself (vatican) but you won't see me trying to stop him. Why can you have a Christian city (vatican) but we can't have a Jewish city? Why can the Muslims have a Muslim city (Mecca) but the Jews can't? Just admit it eric anything the Jews want you would deny. If the Jews wanted to make Haifa a Jewish holy city you would object. If they chose Tel Aviv you'd object. A racist is a racist is a racist.

Your faith is supposed to be based completely on what G-D says in the Bible, not on your opinion.

some patients with chronic diseases asked me when we can stop these midicin ..i said never /it is fore ever ..what i mean with forever ..simply i do not want to tell them untill you die ,,,so i said forever ...nothing will remain forever evry thing has an end but if olmert want to say that fore ever untill he leave the unstable chair may be he want it to be stable ,but also it will not be forever ..and if he means [iam sorry] untill he die //sure there is an expected age for any man ,,but if he means untill israil death .it is so earlier to say about this baby state ..but if he means it is the ever will not come it is the endless time ,,he is not a god to know about such a thing ..but if it is a hope ,,it still a hope like my one .do you know what is my hope....wait to the second sentury salam or by by by by

Its time to keep non Jews off the Temple Mount to prevent its daily desecration. The best solution is to not allow anyone on Judaism's holiest site. End the Muslim Occupation of the Temple Mount. Then peace will be possible, not before.

Dear PM. Ohlmert! Then why have your children left???? Why do you have so many multi millionaire friends in the USA or around the world???BRING THEM ALL HERE!

Nothing can change that ever!

He has gone on record numerous times with his intentions to divide Jerusalem http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49426

"Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the LORD. Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declares the LORD. "I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the LORD. "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness. "So then, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when people will no longer say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' but they will say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' Then they will LIVE in their OWN land." (Jeremiah 23, 1-8)
