In an exclusive One Jerusalem bloggers call, Congressman Eric Cantor, Chief Deputy Republican Whip, announced the introduction today of his House Resolution 756 which condemns the destruction of Jewish and Christian religious artifacts on the Temple Mount. The Resolution criticizes the actions of the Waqf -- The Muslim Religious Authority. You can be a citizen sponsor of this legislation by signing here.
In an interview which covered a lot of topics, Congressman Cantor expressed concern about the summit being proposed by the Bush Administration. Congressman Cantor believes that the time is not ripe for a comprehensive settlement of the outstanding issues between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Congressman Cantor clearly defended Israel's right, as a sovereign democratic country, to determine its own policies -- especially when they concern the security of the State of Israel. The Congressman also agreed with Rick Richman that the time is right for a Congressional investigation into the use of American tax dollars to train Palestinian security forces.
Please keep Jerusalem undivided as I believe God intended for the Jewish people. I believe it would be a disaster for everyone if it is allowed to be divided.

Finally a politician who "gets it". I'm quite perplexed about the Bush Administrations position with regard to the division of Jerusalem. I thought our country was in support of the Jewish State. The safety and security of Israeli people and the nation of Israel would be severly compromised with any division or relinquishment of the land that has been designated as Jewish land by God. The Muslim world does not want and will not be pleased with the acquisition of a portion of the Israeli land; their goal is for the complete annihilation of Jews and Christians. Ohmert, being a secular Jew, believes that compromise is a possibility when the real issue is not the land, but the very existence of the Jewish and Christian peoples.
I hope others will soon wake-up and see that the one and only goal here is world domination, bit by bit, inch by inch.

Secretary of State Rice presses Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a document to launch a peace conference. After meeting with Abbas, leader of Fatah, she stated he sought to resolve the refugee issue, the future of Jerusalem, and other elements of the conflict. However, Hamas never accepted the concept of a Jewish state in the Middle East, and Israel wants Jerusalem as it's capital. Two difficulties needing negotiation.
The Palestinians are willing to trade a promise of peace for Israeli land. We have seen what they have done with Gaza. They didn't try to develop industry to establish economic well-being for the Palestinians, as the Israelis did in Gaza. They turned it into a Training site for Terrorists, and a launching pad from which to fire daily Kassam Rockets into Israel. The Arabs want the Palestinian State to include the West Bank and Gaza. It will enable their rockets to hit the major cities of Israel. The Peace the Palestinians seek will lead to the destruction of Israel.
The First Step in the agreed upon Road Plan to Peace was disarming of Terrorists, ceasing the teaching of hatred of Jews and non-Moslems in their schools, and the end of aggression upon Israelis. None of which has been done. Only then, negotiation for peace becomes possible. How can Secretary Rice ignore the fact that Hamas will not be required to obey the terms of any agreement Abbas signs with Israel. Are Hamas and Fatah two separate groups, or are they one unit. Building up Fatah with funds and weapons is the same as supplying Hamas as we have seen when Hamas ousted Fatah from Gaza without a struggle.
Secretary Rice stressed that accord in the Israel-Palestinian issue is a top President Bush goal. If Israel is forced to cede the West Bank for the Palestinian State, it will become unable to defend itself from attacks on all sides by Jihadists and Arab armies. Will American soldiers be forced to assist their Israeli Ally, or has President Bush also changed his commitment. The threat has already been made. If the Peace conference is not productive, the angry Palestinians will renew the Jihad against Israel. Arafat's tactic still lives. Talk of peace and threats of violence.

The leaders of Israel and America are so out of touch with reality, that they are leading us to destruction. Then again maybe they do know what they are doing, and destruction is their intent.

Thank you..Thank you..Congressman Cantor...Ive been sending emails for 2 weeks, trying to get leaders of Major Jewish Organizations motivated to STOP this so called summit which will call for the destruction of Israel and Its people. The arabs dont want a state...theyve proven that over & over....they just want the DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL and the DEATH of ALL JEWS.
Stop Pres. Bush and Condi from forcing this down Israel's throat......Olmert is NOT a friend to his country & his people. Olmert is a disaster. He hates anything and everything that connects to our history, religion & culture. Its sad, but true. STOP BUSH, STOP CONDI, STOP THE SUMMIT, STOP talk of 2 states....an enemy within bicycle distance of Israel is dangerous....not only to Israel, but to the U.S. also.
