One must convey Jewish feelings and passions about Jerusalem with un-minced words.
When it comes to JERUSALEM’S sovereignty there is a line drawn in the sand. For the Jews, Jerusalem is their heart, aspirations, their holy
city, devotion, ideals, symbol of being a nation with history, a nation with
prophets, justice, fairness, rich Jewish history and the Jewish soul. When a
Jew conveys his feeling about Jerusalem, he must not worry about offending anybody, or hurt feelings. We cannot make an omelet without cracking eggs, and a Jew cannot and must not be apologetic about Jewish’ feelings concerning Jerusalem. it is clear to me even if I were not a Jew, just from a pragmatic consideration of running a city, that any division
of Jerusalem will lead eventually to immense unbearable friction and sooner-or-later to another war. We must present and make the
analogy, that dividing Jerusalem is like dividing the baby in King Solomon’s verdict. Jews do not divide babies, only those who do not feel and care for the baby are prepared to take half. This is what every Jew must say.
I hope that we all have the opportunity to say these tough words for Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
P.S. How many holidays do the Arabs-Muslims celebrate due to historical events in the land of ancient Israel.
The Jewish people celebrate most of their holidays and fast days in memory of and the goal and aspiration to return to Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - where it was before it was destroyed and desecrated by the enemies of the Jews. Many of the Jewish prayers for thousands of years recite the love of Israel and the Jewish aspirations to return to their ancestral land and bring back its glory and holiness.

I am not in the Israeli government. But I think, Israel should have taken action against Iran years ago.
The longer they wait the harder it gets,
Menachem Begin as PM made the decision to bomb the nuclear dev. in Iraq. It was the right decision under tough circumstances.
The world most times will not agree with Israel's defensive actions. It seems as time passes they realize that Israel saved their butts.
As history shows. The Jews and Israel have always been criticized, no matter what.
You might as well do the right thing and defend Israel and its people. Dam the world opinion.
The world did nothing when 6 million Jews were exterminated during WW2 and they did nothing when the Arab countries expelled a million Jewish people and confiscated all their assets.
There is a famous Jewish saying "If I am not for myself who is for me".

I think you do not have all the facts. U.S. needs Israel as much as Israel needs the U.S. The relations and history between the U.S. Israel and the Jewish people goes back when England first sent people via the Mayflower to inhabit America.
The Jewish people were very involved in the War of Independence of the U.S.A.
The government of the U.S.A. was very supportive after WWI in reconstituting the Jewish people in there ancestral land.
It is a relation that has its ups and downs, depends on the American administration at the time and the political international conditions.
As long as communist Russia was involved in the Middle East, Israel was an arm of the U.S. in helping the U.S. to control Russian interests in the Middle East.
Today Israel more than any other country knows the true mission of the extremists Muslims and the terror they bring all over the world.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.
