How upsetting! The laser beam shows how close the surrounding Palestinian villages are to West jerusalem. At the most eight kilometers to the most extereme Jewish residential area, surely within range of kassam rockets. The average distance to key spots in West Jerusalem, such as Mt Scopus, Ben Yehuda mall, and the Knesset, from a Palestinian vantage point, such as Mount of Olives or Silwan, seems to be about three kilometers. This video is the most graphic of all that I have seen thus far because it really brings home how very close the surrounding Palestinian villages and East Jerusalem are to the Jewish population in West Jerusalem. How can Israel lose one centimeter of land when the possibility for total annihilation is just between one to two miles? Remember the summer of 2006 and the thousands of missiles bombarding Kiriyat Shemonah, Tzfat, Rosh Hanikra, Haifa, and the forests in the North. Remember Sederot every day...now. Oh G-d! There is not any leeway in making sound decisions about the security and safety of any place in Israel. Jerusalem? Jerusalem is the focal point of Jewish survival in Israel, for it symbolizes more than its geography exhibits: Jewish memory dwells in every stone of Jerusalem; Jewish consciousness resides in Jerusalem's environs for three millennia in the form of dreams, visions, yearnings, and real-live experience. Mr. Olmert, Mr. Peres, Please listen carefully to the will of the Jewish people living in Jerusalem as well as to those living in Israel proper. Their words are very clear and concise: Do not negotiate with those who will never recognize your existence. Do not negotiate away the lives of innocent Jewish men, women, and children with those who are dead bent on totally destroying everything Jewish in Israel, just like they did to Gush Katif and Schechem. Think about your moral commitment to the Jewish people who inhabit your country, the Land of Israel. Think about their right to live in the Holy Land.

 

 

Please make these videos with English commentary as they are meaningless to the likes of me in Hebrew. Regards Don.
