Thank you for broadcasting Caroline Glick's interviews online. What a privilege it is to hear a creative, independent, original thinker speaking from the heart and the head. Love for Israel and the Jewish people does mean love for humanity and the world, and especially for life. Caroline points out the latter assertion in her every word and even in the space between her every word. The notion that Israel needs its citizenry to become empowered individuals with a direct stake in the political sphere resonates with the needs in the United States as well. Whether it is voting for a party as in Israel or for representatives of a party who ultimately have an independent vote based on their own conscience as in the United States is a most seminal point Caroline has cited. Today I received a final paper from a student on Barack Obama. As an English professor, I want the essay to draw on the student's ability and vision to profile someone in an honest, forthright, human way. My student drew on Mr. Obama's past in such a way that truly limned a portraiture of incredible stature, a human being of fortitude, wisdom, and grassroots substance. And yet, my heart sank when I read between the lines because that picture is precisely what millions of Americans both see and want to see. And beyond that shimmering ideologue lies a great worry: the aura with whom he has surrounded himself by choice. Since I teach English, I did not allow my political perspective to interfere with the student's drawing of this figure of wisdom, practicality, and mercy as he attempted to present Mr. Obama. Notwithstanding, in my heart of hearts, I wanted to show my student how what appears on the surface may not actually be what is underneath. In Mr. Obama's case, if he were to be elected Has V'Halila, his regime could lead to a major world crisis due to his coterie of friends and advisors and their agenda: anti-Semitic, anti-Zionistic, and even Anti-American. It may sound almost blasphemous to many what I have just pronounced; nevertheless, the ideas of a Dr. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, though the relationship has been publicly renounced, still permeate Mr. Obama's memory for the decades-long relationship he had with his pastor and spiritual mentor. Mr. Obama's advisory list of anti-Israel sympathizers is rather long and usettling. On a more positive note, I agree with Carline that the one candidate who deserves attention as a proponent of Israel's defense and a thoughtful promoter of individualism is Binyamin Netanyahu. I hope that in the near future elections come about in Israel on the national level and Mr. Netanyahu is elected Prime Minister. He is definitely neither a savior nor a perfect man by any means, though his ability to think out of the box--to envision an Israel of stature, character, and probity made up of human personalities who represent the yearning of Jewish freedom as well as the will to realize this freedom in the maintenance, growth, development, and defense of the Jewish homeland--should be allowed to take center stage in contemporary Israeli affairs. Finally, I want to commend Caroline for her sagacious portrayal of Israel's place among nations. In the Jewish community worldwide throughout Jewish history, the hope and Divine intention has always been that Israel should be a light among nations. That the latter precept has had its bearing on human civilization and culture is without a doubt the case. That this hope can motivate, bring solace, and provide moral together with spiritual sustenance to an individual as it evidently has in Caroline's case should be a guiding light for those of us who deeply love and care about Israel now and in the future.

United Jerusalem Petition
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, to ensure free and open access for all people.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, as an expression of the unique relationship between the Jewish People and its eternal capital.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, so as never to return to the dark period of 1947-67, when Arab control over an artificially divided Jerusalem meant religious persecution, desecration of holy sites, and wanton destruction.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, according to the current municipal boundaries, set in the wake of Israel’s defensive 1967 Six Day War.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, where Jews may enjoy the right to pray on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the Jewish world.
Preserve The Temple Mount
  • For a decade, Muslim religious authorities have participated in the destruction and elimination of precious Jewish and Christian artifacts on the site of Solomon's Temple, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
  • Thousands of tons of earth, containing archaeological evidence dating back to the period of the Temple of Solomon, were discarded. Among the 'rubble' were ancient seals from a Priestly family, inscribed pottery fragments in Ancient Hebrew, Altar screens and broken columns from a fourth century Byzantine Church.
  • Since the year 2000, the Muslim religious authority – the Waqf - has blocked all archaeological oversight of the Temple Mount.
  • Meanwhile, the Waqf continues to construct Mosques on the sacred sites of Jews and Christians.
  • We believe the international and Israeli media should have unrestricted access to the Temple Mount.
  • We believe the world-respected Israeli Antiquities Authority be empowered to supervise the day to day activities on the Temple Mount.
  • Currently, the Waqf forbids any non-Muslim entrance, except on a selective and very limited basis. For instance, the Waqf does not give any observers access inside the vast subterranean rooms, from which many antiquities have been removed.
  • We demand the preservation and respect of the Temple Mount. Only full access and complete transparency for all parts of the Temple Mount can prevent further abuse and destruction of this site which has been venerated throughout history.
