As bad as most news sites are on the Jerusalem question, this one seems to have its head screwed on properly as translated by
Elder Of Ziyon
Briefly: The blame for how things are today can be attributed to the
Arabs, who rejected the plan for the partition from the UN itself, which
resulted in Arab aggression against Israel militarily. ....If Israel in
the first war with the Arabs (1948-1949) had lost, it probably would
not exist. By winning a war and gaining that part of Jerusalem, [Israel]
could choose it as its capital. The fact that a third war with the
Arabs (1967) allowed [Israel] to gain the remaining (East) section of
the city is from this perspective essential. It is essential that the
capital of Israel was (since 1949), is and will remain Jerusalem. It has
all the attributes of the vast majority of the major capitals of the
world: the seat of the head of state, government and parliament and
other central authorities.
...The holy city became the capital of ancient Israel's monarchy three thousand years ago.
Yet we have see incredible absurdity. Jews are denied the right to
freely choose their capital. Although the parliamentary process
democratically chose Jerusalem, the vast majority of embassies are
located in Tel Aviv. Including the Embassy of the Czech Republic. To
this nonsense the Czech president wants to issue a red card - to move
the mission of the Tel Aviv district administrative center to the
capital of the host country. This effort deserves sympathy, recognition and support.
It would be an act of justice!
ReplyDeleteI don't really see it happening but it bears reminding the unrelenting Arab opposition has nothing to do with Jerusalem's status but with their hate for the Jewish people.
Its easy to be confused about the facts of Israel's capital but here a Czech paper sets the record straight for once.
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
