United States official position on Jerusalem
In 1990 the United States Senate adopted a resolution "acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel's capital" and stating that it "strongly believes that Jerusalem must remain an undivided city." The subsequent Clinton Administration refused to characterize East Jerusalem as being under occupation and viewed it as a territory over
which sovereignty was defined. Vice President Gore stated that the US viewed "united Jerusalem" as the capital of Israel. In light of this
designation, the US has since abstained
from Security Council resolutions which use language which construes East Jerusalem as forming part of the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). In 1995, Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act which declared that Jerusalem should remain undivided and that it should be recognized as Israel's capital.

The Jewish people war of survival was not won when Hitler lost. It continues to this day, against enemies with far more effective tools of mass murder at their disposal. Plus we are easy to find now.
ReplyDeleteThe West Bank (Judea and Samaria) was re-taken and liberated from
Jordan by Israel in 1967 after another failed Arab attempt at destroying the
young Jewish state and has been under Israel control ever since. In the Oslo accords
(which are now null and void), Israel tried to give the PA limited
supervision on a part of the area but it obviously did not work as the Arab
goal here is not the creation of a Palestinian state but simply the destruction
of the Jewish state. If they wanted a Palestinian state, they would have asked Jordan before 1967 for the territories. They never bothered (because they knew it was occupied Jewish territory) until Israel took over.
Israel must stop all Arab violence at all costs and restore security and safety to its citizens.

No entity in the world will force a solution on Israel.
ReplyDeleteThey forced or were complicit to the Final solution in WWII
with the Holocaust and the extermination of over 6 million Jewish people, men women and children.
Where were the worlds nations outcry, threats and objection
when millions of Jewish people were being exterminated, men women and children?
They were silent.
Where was the world nations when the Arab countries expelled
over a million Jewish people from their countries who lived there for over 1800 years, the Arabs confiscated their assets, business, homes and land 5 times the size of Israel, valued in the trillions of dollars?
Where is the world nations today? Why do they ignore when
thousands are slaughtered by Muslims throughout the world.
When Arab violence against Jews and other who are in Israel is not promoted by the Arab leaders, it is positive proof that the Arabs are no seeking peace and coexistence with Israel, the Arabs only seek Israel's destruction.
Any violence whatsoever must be responded with full force, Let them know this terror and violence, stone throwing and barricades is a crime and punishable by extreme actions. This is the only way to treat violence, anything less is a dereliction of duty by the government.
Today and since 1948. Israel is being
threatened with annihilation and when Israel defends itself
from destruction, suicide bombers, thousands of missiles, violence, etc, by the Arabs, every country has something to say, threaten Israel and meddle in its business.
This is the time when nations of the world must mind their own business and
stay out of Israel’s internal affairs. Only then there will be a possibility of peace.
NEVER AGAIN!!!

Iran
the destabilizing factor in the Middle East
and beyond..
Herzog and Livni are
ReplyDeletedelusional. If you want to see Israel destroyed elect them. If you want to see Israel survive, you must vote Likud. There is no other
alternative.
Israel needs a leader who is concerned about Israel's safety and security and not personal agenda.
Concessions and appeasements to the Arabs have only increased terror and
violence and is a danger to Israel's survival. Thus a constant danger and threat to Israel's citizens.
Summer of 2014 Hamas Gaza
Campaign and the launching of 15,000 rockets into Israel's population centers only confirms that Israel must not concede any territory to the Arabs. Israel needs a wide buffer zone to enable it to respond to
attacks and protect its citizens. This also applies Hezbollah on the Lebanese
borders.
There must be some population
adjustment to offset the million Jews expelled from Arab countries. These could
be a viable solution if people can look at it with an unbiased and rational
approach.
