The EU: Helping the Palestinians erase Jewish history. So, if the EU is supposed to be helping the Israelis and Palestinians come to an agreement, why are 25 EU officials proposing to intervene in Israeli internal affairs in Jerusalem? How is it that the entire world accepts the false narrative that the eastern half of Jerusalem is “Arab” east Jerusalem, when the Jewish Quarter and hundreds of synagogues were torn down by Jordan during the years when the Arabs ruled over that half? In fact, Jews were ethnically cleansed from the area, shrines were torn down, and Arab settlers took over homes that had been Jewish for thousands of years. Jerusalem was never the capital of any Arab state, but it has been the heart of Judaism for three millennia. Here’s their reasoning:
Over the past few years the changes to the city have run counter to the peace process. Attempts to exclusively emphasise the Jewish identity of the city threaten its religious diversity and radicalise the conflict, with potential regional and global repercussions.”
Sure, why should you emphasize the fact that EAST Jerusalem was the site of the First and Second Temples, the Jewish Quarter, and the heart of Judaism? Just because it is? Stupid Israelis. Don’t you know that Israel’s history started in 1948?
Obama is not throwing Israel under the bus—yet: Hillary Clinton said pretty clearly that the U.S. won’t be voting for any UN resolution declaring Palestinian statehood.
… we continue to believe strongly that New York is not the place to resolve the long-standing conflict and outstanding issues between the Israelis and the Palestinians. We do not think that that is a productive path for the Palestinians or anyone to pursue. The Palestinians are aware of our position as are everyone else. But we also believe that a concerted effort to enable the parties to return to negotiations that will permit them to make progress together is in everyone’s interests.
I know that many of my readers think Obama is going to allow the resolution. I don’t. There’s already a report that a resolution condemning “settlements” will be vetoed. He has to do business with the members of his own party, many of whom are much stronger supporters of Israel than he. Not gonna happen during this term. God help us, however, if he gets re-elected. It’s the lame duck Obama term that terrifies me.
Another blood libel proven false: And the world media will not rush to send out this story, which states that Palestinian malpractice killed the woman who was near the Bilin protest and collapsed. It doesn’t matter. Once again, the media rush to judgment against Israel has done its job, and we will be hearing about the “martyred activist” instead of the woman who died of an overdose of chemo medications.
And now an ad in British National Geographic invites readers to Travel Palestine, which the ad describes as stretching from the Mediterranean to the Jordan. Yes, the same Britain that banned an ad showing the Temple Mount as being false becase the mount is supposedly in ‘occupied territory’ and not in Israel.
When Muslims turn Mecca over to Hindus because the latter have discovered a legend of theirs, that Krishna was born in Mecca, and rest content with the Hindus chasing all Muslims out of Mecca and preventing any Muslims from visiting the city, then maybe Jews will consider handing part of Jerusalem over to the Muslims.
