EU: Jerusalem Is Occupied Territory

This week, The European Union's Foreign Policy chief referred to Jerusalem as "occupied territory." Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister responded, "just as the Romans failed to sever Israel's ties with Jerusalem, so will the EU's and UN's diplomats."

One Jerusalem has repeatedly warned that Jerusalem is at the heart of the conflict between Israel and its critics. Israel's enemies understand that if Israel concedes even a portion of Jerusalem, Israel's enemies will have won a monumental victory over Israel and the West.

Jerusalem is the epicenter of this conflict, it has been since the days of the Crusades. When Al-Qaeda talks about reestablishing the Caliphate they see the new Islamic empire's center being Jerusalem. The importance of Jerusalem cuts across the Shiite and Sunni divide: Both believe that you bring the West down to its knees by capturing Jerusalem. The Iranians call their annual antisemitic diatribe celebration, Al-Quds (Jerusalem) day. While they supposedly moderate, Abbas continues to insist that Jews never occupied Jerusalem in ancient times. His beliefs coincide with the Islamic school that preaches that Solomon's Temple never existed in Jerusalem. To prove their point they have destroyed tons of antiquities that come from the First and Second Jewish Temples.

The importance of a united Jerusalem goes beyond the important religious and historical reasons why Jerusalem is the capital of only one people: The Jewish people. Strategically, an Islamic foothold in Jerusalem will be celebrated as a major victory against Israel and the West and will cause even more Muslims to join the battle to rid the world of Israel and the West.

While Prime Minister Netanyahu has reaffirmed his commitment to keeping Jerusalem united under the State of Israel, there is a disturbing report that he has reached an agreement with Obama's representative George Mitchell that includes negotiating the status of Jerusalem. An experienced Middle East expert believes that Netanyahu has accepted a solution based on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's formulation: "an outcome which ends the conflict and reconciles the Palestinian goal of an independent and viable state based on the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, and the Israeli goal of a Jewish state with secure and recognized borders that reflect subsequent developments and meet Israeli security requirements."

"Abbas wants Israeli territorial concessions in Jerusalem as a precondition for negotiations. Netanyahu has accepted that the Palestinians will bring their claims for Jerusalem to the table, but he is not going to make this or any other concession just to bring Abbas to negotiate."

But if Abbas comes to the table will Netanyahu negotiate the future of Jerusalem?

If Israel does not hold firm on Jerusalem it means that the future of Jerusalem is in danger.

Jerusalem should remain united and belongs to the Jewish People.
All Christians in love with Israel are praying for you and believe in the Eternal Covenant made with Abraham. It is a biblican problem that turned out into a political one. But the promise of HaShem is forever. Lets stand united behind Israel, the light to the nations.
There should not be any compromise.

The EU is doing today what its member states could not do some sixty years ago. They are re affirming the rights of occupiers rather than those of the occupied. They stand not for the rights of the few but for their own selfish reasons they stand against those who were brutalized by terrorist for far too long. Once in unison the world said never again yet that resolve that proud act is now over shadowed by lies and attacked on all sides by the very nations who swore to the Israeli’s never again would they suffer at the hands of terrorist never again would they need live in fear.
For far too long men have said men have made promises and none but the Israeli have kept their word. Israel is as a beacon a light yet the world desires that light are put o

Israel was given by God Almighty to the Jews!!! God does not give a gift and take it back or changes HIS mind!!! Netanyahu needs to become a Jewish Leader and not a Politician. The Jews have always had enemies and will always have enemies until the Messiah comes back. Surrendering Israel to the World's demands for their conditional peace is Jewish suicide and Satan's trap. However, how can the Jewish liberals understand my comment except for the Jewish Conservatives who know that God and HIS word is above all?

Let's stay with Israel and tell the world to jump off where Hell is!

Israel will agree to almost anything to aviod a war they can't win . Now that the western countries that have embraced national socialism again , say the Israeli army is a occupation force . Israel can be expected to give up both the westbank and Jerusalem , especially after United States has anounced they are now the largest muslim country in the world . So indeed the muslim Jews or arabs have a great chance to take over again . but what if the Palesinian are still not quit satisfied again . What if they still refuse to recognise Israels right to exist . Yes there is still a possibility of a war , under these circumstances , I expect Israel to fight a war they think they can't win , but at least fight to the finish .

For sure jerusalem is in danger . now that the west is national socialists again , Israel will have to stand against the world alone . Not a good position to be in .

ISRAEL, DO NOT GIVE IN!
Not to the war criminals Hamas. Not to the thieves called Palestinians. Not to the bullies of the EU. And definately not to the US' top clown BO.

Stand your ground. Be strong in the Lord and lift up thine eyes for your wisdom.

Christians around the globe pray for the piece of Jerusalem EVERY DAY!

Prez Bo, Can say whatever he and his special interest friends want him to say, The American People still stand with Israel and support a United Jerusalem and it being the capital of Israel. It was indeed given to the Jews by God and it shall forever be. It will not be the seat of Allah (the moon god) in the 1000 year kingdom, it will be the seat of the Lord.

America, IS NOT a muslim country, although the statist's now in "temporary" control here are doing their best to ruin it as fast as they can, they will not succeed. Not until it fits the plan of God that it be so.

Dore Gold has an interesting perspective on this issue. Check it out at the Jerusalem Center site. Is Europe ignoring the importance of Jerusalem to Christians and the need to protect their religious sites? What about Resolution 242 and the status of Jerusalem there?

Twenty-five hundred years of nearly unbroken European Imperial Rule from the Greeks to the British, through the Romans and Ottomans, the Vatican and Crusaders--Judea/Israel is finally free! Throughout all that time Judeans/Yehudim/Jews/Israelis have maintained not only an unbroken and often majority presence throughout the land in various cities and areas (including and especially Jerusalem and Safed), but a continued interaction and influence within the region. Now Europe acts like a spurned rapist--if it can't continue to beat and rape Judea/Israel, it will assail her from afar under the pretense of some imagined moral outrage.
