1. Israel's capital is tel aviv
papa jay   (05.13.07)
Not Jerusalem That’s where all the world’s embassies are. not a single one in jerusalem. israelis need to ponder why, maybe they'll get a clue.
2. So let's have a beatifull comemoration without them!
Keren ,   SP-now in Israel   (05.13.07)
3. Boycott of Jerusalem Unification
Neil Turner ,   Watford, UK   (05.13.07)
If my country declines to attend the 40th anniversary of Jerusalem's unification, I would be honoured to attend in their place. Whilst I am not an ambassadeur, government official, or diplomat, I, like many other Christians within the UK, have prayed for and upheld the people of Jerusalem and Israel for many years. May I suggest that for every country who boycotts your celebrations, there will be many Christians from those countries who would be honoured to attend. The people of Israel should know in these times who their friends are
4. To Quote Ben Gurion
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (05.13.07)
"It matters not what the goyim say, but what the Jews do". We WILL live, build, plant, and thrive where we want to in OUR land. If the rest of the world wants to share in this blessing from G-d, then we welcome them with open arms. If they don`t, then we will go ahead without them. But we WILL go ahead either way.
5. Berlin was recently a divided city
Tracy W   (05.13.07)
Berlin is only a few hundred years old but Jerusalem has been Jewish for thousands of years, albeit under occupation by non-Jewish populations. Germans always longed to reunite the two halves of Berlin but they deny Israel the right to keep a united Jerusalem. When will Israeli leaders find the fortitude to stand up to the racist world and make their decisions based on what is best for Israel. Who cares what the Germans have to say. Scarcely two generations ago they were bent on destroying every Jew in sight, but now they have the arrogance to tell the survivors how to run their own country.
6. So what's the big deal?
Zion Lover   (05.13.07)
7. Unification of Germany
Eli ,   bet shemesh   (05.13.07)
Those same nations that lauded the fall of the Berlin wall and unification of Germany... Still call for the division of Unified Jeruslalem? Same old double standards toward Israel.. Sorry, but Jerusalem was only divided between 1948 and 1967 , less time than Berlin
