Unfortunately, people stilll believe in medieval accusations against Jews. They base their opinion on Israel on hate sites such as http://www.jewwatch.com/ In the meantime, how about defending Israel for a change? Because of all this and the above comments (al kol ele) we can´t give up on Jerusalem. This will (G-d forbid) only encourage Arab hate and missiles

 

 

Giving back what was won in a war has not proven to be the right choice. Then again, if we have been battling the same people for so many years, what makes us think that the hate built for so many years will disipate...?

 

 

I am unable to get my head around the decisions made by Olmert concerning the Golan Heights..Israel won that fair and sqare and lives were lost over that fight and now this man wants to give it back to Syria..tie and gag him and get him out of there for pity sakes..

 

 

Praise God for Yoel Nitzarim and others like him. I am a gentile Christian but have a Jewish heart. All my spiritual heroes were Jews - Moses, Joshua, Caleb (also my middle name), Joseph, David, Hezekiah, Josiah, Elijah, Elisha, Ezekiel, to name just a few. And the focus was always what was going on in Jerusalem. Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. God promised the land of Palestine, not the Arabs, and Jerusalem is the heart of it all. Keep Jerusalem one and under the control of the Jews!

 

 

I knew a lot of comrades in arms who gave their lives for Jerushalaim. I would very much like to see it united.

 

 

Jerusalem belongs to Israel. People of Israel do not let Olmert give up Jerusalem. The Muslims will never be peaceful with the Israelites. I am an American and I urge my country to stand with Israel. I implore Bush to not ask Olmert to give one precious piece of Jerusalem to any other peoples. HaShem bless Israel and bring peace to Jerusalem!

 

 

Why didn't the press cover the story? "Yerushalayim shel Zahav " metaphorically tells the story of Jerusalem. That's the way Jerusalem should be thought of--an ascension, a light unto the nations, an illumination of the Divine Power. There is not any doubt that the majority of Israelis living in Israel and the Jews living in the Diaspora who love and care about Israel want Yerushalaim to remain one, undivided, indivisible. The Olmert government does not represent the minority of the Jewish people living in the world today: it represents the very few sorry apologists who are ashamed of being Jewish and would gladly turn their backs on Jewish heritage, spirtuality, and security. Jerusalem symbolizes Jewish identity; Jerusalem speaks for the prophets. Jerusalem, along with Israel, is HaShem's gift to Abraham and his descendants through Yitzchak and Yaakov. Jerusalem is the place where Israel solidified as a Jewish nation at the time of David. Those Jews living today represent the Jews of old, and what place better stands alive and well for more than 3000 years as the sign of Jewish well-being: Yerushalayim shel Zahav!
