Netanyahu: Jerusalem is Ours, Not Up for Debate

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issued a sharp response Sunday to United States pressure to stop Jews from building in parts of Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinian Authority. Israel’s sovereignty in Jerusalem is “not up for debate,” Netanyahu said, and Jews are permitted to build in any part of the capital city, as are Arabs.

His response was a lot more polite than what mine would have been. Something to the effect of “Go pound sand!”, but in more, shall we say, colorful language?

Israel annexed Sheikh Jarrah and other Jerusalem neighborhoods following the Six Day War, in which the city was reunified after 19 years of Jordanian rule in the eastern half of the city. While Israel has maintained sovereignty in the capital city for more than 40 years, the Palestinian Authority continues to demand all areas controlled by Jordan in the 1950s.

Ok, it’s like this…..you lost, they won. Time to more on, and make an effort to live in peace. I know, I’m asking WAY too much, but hey, gotta try, right? Here’s a thought….be damn happy they didn’t kick your hind ends out! The Israelis are an extremely civilized people….y’all could learn a LOT from them, if you would just make the effort.

While Israeli leaders proclaim Jerusalem to be the unified capital of Israel, Israeli Muslim leaders teach their children that Jerusalem is rightfully Arab and Muslim. On Saturday, the Islamic Movement bussed thousands of Israeli Arab Muslim children to the Al Aksa Mosque on the Temple Mount, where they heard speeches referring to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem as areas “occupied” by Israel.

Reality isn’t strong on their list of essentials for living, is it.

Joshua 1
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

I mean, if you want to get right down to it, there are a lot of “occupiers” and it ain’t the Israelis. Like I said before, be happy they aren’t throwing your lying asses back to Jordon. But, oh yeah….they don’t want you, do they.
