Secretary of State Rice Consents to Divide Jerusalem
[11.05.2007]
In a stunning announcement today in Ramallah, Palestinian President Abbas articulated his objective is the "creation of a Palestinian State, with its capital East Jerusalem." With Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice standing quietly at his side Abbas is attempting to dictate the division of Jerusalem, which is the capital of a sovereign democratic state.
Would Rice even think of publicly suggesting the division of another country's capital? Contact Bush now! Time and again, Rice has claimed that the United States supports democratic movements. But by her actions, Rice demonstrates that she does not feel the same way regarding the State of Israel. In Rice's eyes, Israel's capital is there for division. In a recent survey commissioned by One Jerusalem, 86% of Israelis opposed Jerusalem being the capital of more than one State. And at the same time, over 50% of Israel's Knesset members said they would not agree to any division of Jerusalem. This is especially significant because Israel's legal system requires an absolute majority of Knesset members to support any division of Jerusalem. Why doesn't Rice respect the sovereignty of Israel? Let Bush know your thoughts! Why does Rice want to go back to the bad old days when Arabs expelled all Jews from the Old City of Jerusalem - as was the case before Israel liberated its capital? Rice may have the best of intentions, but her disrespect for Israel and Jews worldwide seems to have no bounds. Tell Rice and Bush what you think about her unilateral decision to divide Jerusalem. Remind her that the Palestinians she wants to reward -- with Jerusalem -- have failed to live up to their commitment to curtail terrorism in every other territory they have "managed." Just last week, the world media reported that Abbas' security guards plotted to murder Israel's Prime Minister Olmert. Abbas denies Solomon's Temple ever existed in Jerusalem, and he is an unrepentant Holocaust denier. Tell President Bush what you think about his Secretary of State's mishandling of Israel. Tell Bush One Jerusalem sent you.
Please, I invite to every single person who reads this comments to pray for President Bush and for Secretary State Condoleeza Rice that God give to them wisdom and discernment because they are blind, and their thinking is not clear. What they are suggesting about de division of Jerusalem is so wrong!. As Christians we need to pray with whole heart and incesantly for them.

you have a certain number of jews willing to trade anything for what the muslims call peace. wake up every one, the only peace the muslims are offering is the peace of the grave, jewish graves

Nothing is worth dividing Jerusalem for, nothing--not oil, not a false "peace", not a Nobel Peace Prize. Has no one learned YET that giving Israeli land away has never earned peace, but only more danger? And what a slap in the face to the soldiers who fought so hard to unite Jerusalem in 1967. Dr. Rice and Pres. Bush, as professing Christians, you should know better than to go forward with this unthinkable act.

The thought of dividing Jerusalem between Arabs & Jews is just as abserd as dividing Washington, DC with Mexico.

Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state of Israel and it should not be divided. It's about time the Israeli government said "NO" to the american government.

Ms. Rice hasn't got a single thing to say about any division. Let's prove her wrong and make a lot of noise and positive action. These politicians oviously need to go back to Sunday School and intensely re-read their lessons.

Stupid Americans!! I can say that because I am an American, BUT, I will never understand someone who claims to be a Christian, who "says" they believe in any nation having freedom/democracy, then sells them out. Maybe we should go back to horse and buggy so others won't "own" the U.S. by their dangling oil over us. Boy am I mad. Just remember, Rice is a pawn doing the work of her boss!!.

First, divide Mecca ...
We are all descendants of Abraham, so this would only be fair.
When there is tolerance, acceptance and respect by "the Muslim Brotherhood" for ALL other people, then there will be peace.

How nice for Rice and Bush to sacrifice Israel for their legacy. Clinton tried it Arafat rejected it and started the 2nd Intifadia and the concessions wrung out of Barak are now the starting point for new negotiations.

I would encourage Secretary State Rice and President Bush to read "EYE TO EYE" Facing the consequences of dividing Israel by William Koenig.Israel needs her capital united and Israel needs to know that we stand to support her,not divide her.

Mr. President and Ms. Rice,
Read, Reflect and Pray on Zech 12. You are asking for God's judgment on America!!!!!
Posted by: P. Simms at November 9, 2007 3:32 PM
God gave Jerusalem and the surrounding land to
the Jews forever, Please don't go against God's
covenant, God will place more JUDGMENT on
the United States.

Miss Rice takes her orders from President Bush,although I'm sure she's delighted with his 'meddling in Israel!!

If the government of the U.S.A. continues to push for the division of Jerusalem, please be aware that there will be more hardship suffered like Katrina - acts of God to be sure!

G-d forgive her, I am haveing a hard time.

President Bush says he is a Christian; what kind? since he said that islam is the religion of peace! He does not know the Bible! If he did, he would know this:
Zechariah 12, vers 2-3: Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
vers 9: And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem!
*****************************************
Amerika: Take care of what you are doing to Israel, it will fall back on yourself!

Just what right do we have to divide Jerusalem? That decision has already been made by God, and His decision was "NO!".
Posted by: Bruce Alan Niles at November 9, 2007 8:47 AM
Done. I sent the letter that was previously composed, but with the following words added: xxxx "The words in this letter have so far been diplomatic. The truth on the table is that the U.S. has been pandering to avowed terrorists who openly state that they want the extermination of Israel, and who are even now intensely engaged in eradicating Israeli history all the way from Solomon's Temple to the Holocaust. The monumental failure of the Palestinian Government to effectively oversee anything but the firing of Kassam rockets into Israel - which apparently is their own interpretation of Phase One of the Roadmap - gives the lie to the whole thinking and the whole process currently at hand, wherein the Palestinians are given credibility. Just Stop this stupid charade, and stop pressuring Israel to go along with it. These words are a breach of diplomacy, but that is the only appropriate counter to a serious breach in basic intelligence." I signed my name to it, but not without visions of a gulag. But we only live once.

Dear President Bush,
I have heard that Secretary State Condoleeza Rice has suggested that there be a division of Jerusalem between Arabs & Jews...this is an inexcusable mistake on her part or on anybody's part to try to divide Jerusalem...Would she ever think of dividing any other capital into separate divisions...this is an insane decision & no way should Israel's parliament have to make that choice...today or any other day...
President Bush, under no circumstances should this request even be considered...DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN...It would be a complete disaster for the State of Israel to have to divide Jerusalem for all of its inhabitants...today or in the future...
