Mr. President Jerusalem Is A Free and Open City
In his much ballyhooed speech to the Muslim world President Obama said,
"when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together ..."Clearly President Obama thinks that Jerusalem is not a secure and welcome city for all people.That this a goal to be achieved in the future.
President Obama is clearly confusing the pre-1967 Jerusalem with the Jerusalem of today. Before Israel unified the Holy City Jews were prohibited from entering Jerusalem and Christians were restricted.
From 1948 until 1967, Jerusalem was ruled by Muslims, Muslims who ejected Jews from their homes, and destroyed practically any remnant of the Jewish community that thrived there prior to 1948. Since 1967, Jerusalem has been a secure home for Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
This man and his dangerous ME policy will soon plunge this region into another war if he has his way. The first commenter is correct when he said that Obama is clueless.
When Obama speaks to the Arab world, his middle name comes into play and when he speaks to the rest of the world including the USA he uses his first.
Yes, PM Bibi Netanyahu must stand up to him and tell him in no uncertain terms that Jerusalem will never be compromised for the sake of so called ME peace which has never happened and will never happen in the near future.
Stop Obama! (I'm not threatening the president...SS, please don't come and arrest me.
President Obama does not have a clue what is really going on in the Middle east. His contention about Jerusalem is way off base. Jerusalem belongs to Israel forever. Prime Minister Netanyahu must stand up to President Obama on this one. There is no wiggle room in this case.
