Obama Declares Support For Dividing Jerusalem

This week Obama's Mid East policy has begun to publicly unravel. Yesterday, Palestinian President Abbas threatened that he would not run for re-election. This surprise declaration came after Secretary of State Clinton publicly praised Israel's flexibility on the settlement issue and then retracted her praise when the Arab world protested. And on the day of Abbas' threat the UN - the Obama international organization of choice - voted to adopt the anti-Israel Goldstone Report. (Watch Dore Gold's spirited defense of Israel in his debate with Goldstone.)

In all this tumult, President Obama once again reaffirmed that he sees Jerusalem as a divided city. Haaretz reports: "President Barack Obama has promised the Palestinian leadership that there will be no change to U.S. policy on the issue of Jerusalem, and that East Jerusalem does not constitute part of the State of Israel."

It is important to always keep in mind that when the term "East Jerusalem" is used it includes the Old City and the Temple Mount. In other words Obama supports dividing Israel's capital and taking a way Israel's control of the Old City. By all accounts Israel's governance of the Old City has been stellar. Before Israel took control, Jews were banned from the Old City and Christians had limited access. Today, thanks to Israel, the Old City is open to everyone.

We must redouble our efforts to keep the status quo. Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly reaffirmed his commitment to keeping Jerusalem united. You can help by getting friends and family to sign the One Jerusalem petition. It is important for us to be able to contact friends of a united Jerusalem to keep them updated on news about the Holy City and to inform them how they can be helpful in times of crisis.

We as citizens of the United States apologize that Barack Obama is even sticking his nose in to Israel's business.We are sorry he was elected. We hope he will be weaked in 2010 and his term will be over in 2013.
Jerusalem is and always will be Jewish and has never been owned by Islam.
Let the folks that want a Palestinian nation go elsewhere.
God bless Israel and her people!

I second Marvin's comments made November 8, 2009 5:16PM.
I reiterate JERUSALEM IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE JEWISH AND HAS NEVER BEEN OWNED BY ISLAM. LET THE FOLKS THAT WANT A PALESTINIAN NATION GO ELSEWHERE.

G-d bless Israel and her people.

Jerusalem's sovereignity is not on the negotiating table and Hussein Obama knows that. No state can make demands on another independent state over territories in which it has no claim, no interests and over which it has no control. I will take Pharaobama's demands on Jerusalem less as a sick joke when he starts heavying the Saudis into giving Shi'ites control over a part of Mecca, in the interest of ending the ofter violent rift between the two main branches of Islam.

If one can call upon a sovereign nation to divide its capitol even symbolical then all nations must follow suit. England must must return all lands and holdings to the Irish and the Welsh, America must return all lands taken from all the tribes since the start, Mexico and all Latin nations must be emptied except for persons of pure or original blood.
This line of reasoning is for fools it is unrealistic yet it is what Israel is being told too do. No, it is what the world is demanding that Israel do.
It has been said that three great religions affirm Jerusalem as a scared site and that they writings of the prophets and the original history are true so how can two affirm the Jewish right and the other deny it.

Obama now shows his true colors. His hatred of things Jewish or Israeli comes to the fore. The weak, ingenuous little frog has croaked out what has always been his plan. That plan simply is the delegitimizing of the Jewish State and its eventual dismantling and the expulsion of Jews. He will be shown to be a muslim in the near future. He's almost there now, if one listens to his daily prevarications to the American people. Oh! By the way in case you missed it, he's hard at work dismantling these United States of America so Israel will be a simple task for one who is such a well schooled and practiced anti-Semite. People are starting to wake up but it's getting late in the game and soon it will be fait accompli unless he can be discredited politically.
If Jerusalem falls into muslim hands all will be lost and it will be a bloodbath for many thousands in the Holy Land of Israel.I ask one question where are the opponents of his policy against Israel? Were it not for our Christian brethren fighting for our stewardship of holy sites we would have been ousted by now. Obama will not reveal his credentials nor
will he affiliate with a Christian church since taking office. And he has the chutzpah to lecture people on honesty and transparency.

Netanyahu must stand fast and never give in to muslim terror or pressure.
Maybe we can save what G-d gave us long before there was islam in this world. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE BE BEATEN INTO SUBMISSION.

Let the world watch President Hussein Obama, He could be a goat in sheep skin. How could he think of dividing JERUSALEM? it's unimaginable. Like PAUL WINTER said 'Jerusalem's sovereignity is not on the negotiating table' We better watch all his delay tactics allowing IRAN to arm Hezbola, Giving too much time to IRAN to relocate it nuclear arsenals. Americans should wake up before Obama will mortgage entire americans into the hands of the muslims

	ACT NOW!
