NEW YORK, December 19, 2017

Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:

The Zionist Organization of America strongly praises the statements by unnamed senior Trump administration officials, reported by AP, that Jerusalem's Western Wall (a/k/a the Kotel or Wailing Wall) will be affirmed now and forever to be part of Israel.  The AP report stated that the Trump officials "essentially ruled out any scenario that didn't maintain Israeli control over the holiest ground in Judaism."  ("White House Signals Western Wall Has to Be Part of Israel," by Ken Thomas, AP, Dec. 15, 2017.)

The Western Wall was part of the encasement constructed around and abutting the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, where Solomon's Temple (the First Jewish Temple) stood from the mid-10th century BCE until its destruction in 587 BCE, and the Second Jewish Temple stood from 516 BCE until the Romans destroyed it in 70 CE.  The Western Wall abuts the holiest Jewish site where Jews from all over the world come to pray day and night.  Archeological excavations under and around the Western Wall have uncovered Jewish ritual baths (mikvahs) that worshipers used to purify themselves before praying in the Jewish Temple and on the Jewish Temple Mount; passageways including a passageway that scholars believe King David traversed from his palace on the site of the Tower of David to pray on the Temple Mount; Second Temple era streets; the Hasmonean Hall where the members of the Sanhedrin (Jewish Assembly) gathered outside the Temple Mount; and the Great Bridge that Jewish priests (Kohanim) walked across on their way to the Temple.

The AP report misleadingly refers to Israel "capturing" and "occupying" Jerusalem's Old City and "the rest of east Jerusalem in the 1967 war." The AP report misleadingly omits that … this area was designated for the Jewish homeland under international law, and that the majority of Jerusalem's residents were Jews. Yet, Jordan expelled and murdered eastern Jerusalem's Jewish population during Jordan's illegal occupation.  In 1967… Jordan proceeded to attack Israel again, [and] Israel regained the eastern portion of Jerusalem in the ensuing 1967 defensive war.

It is particularly fitting that the Trump administration's statement was made during Hanukkah.  Hanukkah commemorates the Maccabees' rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 164 BCE and the re-establishment of religious freedom for the Jewish people after the Seleucids' harsh repression.  Notably, the Maccabees' rededication of the Second Jewish Temple occurred eight centuries before the birth of Islam.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) reacted by once again attempting to falsely portray Israel as an "occupier" of the land to which the Jewish nation has the historic, religious and international legal right.  (See, e.g., "Mort Klein – There Is No Israeli 'Occupation': It's Not Arab Land and 98 Percent of Palestinian-Arabs Live Under Arab Rule," by Morton Klein, Breitbart, Sept. 29, 2017; "UN Resolution 242 Entitles Israel to Secure Borders Beyond the Insecure 1949 Armistice Lines," Oct. 2, 2017 (quoting US Ambassador David Friedman); and "Mort Klein: Jerusalem Was Never Holy to Muslims," Sept. 7, 2017.)

Unfortunately, the AP injected several biased false statements into its reports on the White House statements, which were repeated in New York Times and other articles.  For instance:

  • The AP report misleadingly stated that the Western Wall "abuts some of the Islamic world's most revered sites."  The Western Wall in fact abuts the Jewish people's holiest site: the Temple Mount.  The Al-Aqsa mosque was built atop the site of the Jewish Temple, to attempt to de-Judaize and show superiority to the Jewish people's holiest site.
 
  • The AP report misleadingly stated that the "[Western] wall is beyond Israel's pre-1967 borders." In fact, the pre-1967 lines were not binding international "borders."  The pre-1967 lines were merely the "1949 armistice (ceasefire) demarcation lines" marking approximately the point where the fighting stopped, after six Arab nations invaded and tried to destroy Israel in 1948-1949 and seized the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, Judaism's holiest sites and Judea/Samaria.  The land designated for the Jewish homeland by internationally binding law (including the 1922 Mandate, preserved by the UN Charter's Jewish people's clause, Article 80) encompassed all of Jerusalem and Judea/Samaria – far more area than the 1949 Armistice lines.  Notably, the 1949 armistice agreements signed by Israel and neighbors Jordan and Egypt specifically stated that the armistice lines were "without prejudice" to a future political settlement. 
 
  • The AP report misleadingly refers to Israel "capturing" and "occupying" Jerusalem's Old City and "the rest of east Jerusalem in the 1967 war." The AP report misleadingly omits that Jordan illegally captured the eastern portion of Jerusalem – including the millennia-old Jewish Quarter and Judaism's holiest sites in the Old City- during the Arab League's 1948-1949 war attempting to annihilate Israel, and that Jordan illegally occupied these areas for the next 19 years.  AP omits that this area was designated for the Jewish homeland under international law, and that the majority of Jerusalem's residents were Jews. Yet, Jordan expelled and murdered eastern Jerusalem's Jewish population during Jordan's illegal occupation.  In 1967, after Israel begged Jordan not to attack, and Jordan proceeded to attack Israel again, Israel regained the eastern portion of Jerusalem in the ensuing 1967 defensive war.
 

The ZOA greatly appreciates the Trump administration's statement – and hopes that AP and other press outlets will fix the biased and inaccurate statements in their articles.

Dear friends,

The chutzpah of those who continue to attack and deride President Trump while letting Obama off the hook, even praising his presidency, is beyond comprehension.

Particularly the Jews among you who continue to support the most anti-Israel President in history and refuse to celebrate, yes, CELEBRATE, the friendly actions of President Trump need their loyalty to Israel seriously examined.

Compare Obama's action in the UN Security Council in December 2016 to that of Trump and Nikki Haley today. Do you need more proof of who Obama was and who is Trump?

Today's publication in Politico titled The Secret Backstory of How Obama Let Hezbollah off the Hook is but one more manifestation out of many of the despicable hostility Israel suffered at the hands of Obama for eight long years.

Obama's actions described in the article are nothing short of criminal and must be investigated and indictments issued.

As a Hanukkah gift please watch the amazing debate between Dennis Prager and a J-Street advocate.

BOMBSHELL: Obama Protected Hezbollah Drug and Human Trafficking Rings To Appease Iran
by Joshua Caplan 

Posted on 12/18/2017

In a bombshell report by POLITICO's Josh Meyer, the Obama administration is accused of protecting Hezbollah drug and human trafficking rings to help ensure a nuclear deal with Iran was achieved. POLITICO reports:

Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.

The Justice Department declined requests by Project Cassandra and other authorities to file criminal charges against major players such as Hezbollah's high-profile envoy to Iran, a Lebanese bank that allegedly laundered billions in alleged drug profits, and a central player in a U.S.-based cell of the Iranian paramilitary Quds force. And the State Department rejected requests to lure high-value targets to countries where they could be arrested.

Fwd: ALLAH GAVE ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM TO THE JEWS - THE KORAN

Dear friends,

For those of you who are not aware of the fact, I guess there are many of you, President trump's in his declaration about Jerusalem did not only accept and followed reality, ancient and current, he also followed the Koran.

'There is no "Palestine" in the Koran. Allah gave Israel to the Jews'

https://palestineisraelconflict.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/jordanian-sheikh-there-is-no-palestine-in-the-koran-allah-gave-israel-to-the-jews/

Allah has assigned the Holy Land to the Children of Israel until the Day of Judgment (Koran, Sura 5 - "The Sura of the Table", Verse 21), and "We made the Children of Israel the inheritors (of the land)" (Koran, Sura 26 - "The Sura of the Poets", Verse 59).

Be reminded that Jerusalem is not mentioned even once, repeat, NOT ONCE, in the Koran. Furthermore, the Arabic name for Jerusalem is El Quds which is the Arabic form of the Hebrew word Mikdash. Mikdash is Hebrew for Temple. In short, the Arab name for Jerusalem is in itself an acknowledgement of the location the Jewish Temple. Here is the proof as explained by Israel's top Arabist, Mordechai Kedar, in an interview on Al-Jazeera: http://mordechaikedar.com/a-taste-of-my-debate-on-al-jazeera-about-jerusalem/

So, the Arab and other Muslim countries, that gathered in Istanbul, Turkey, two days ago, to protest President Trump's historic pronouncement, are actually acting against their holy book, the Koran.

Further reference: http://muhammadabduh.net/verdicts-articles/politics/israeli-holy-land-in-quran/

The US Jewish Reform movement's support of the "Palestinians" does not only prove total ignorance, it amounts to treason. "Fake News" equals Fake Jews.

Back to President trump. In his amazing and courageous action on Jerusalem he proved to the entire world that his promises are not just empty words, like his predecessor, but firm promises to be fulfilled.

One important thing must be taken into account. 70 years of appeasing and placating the "Palestinians," culminating in Obama and Kerry hostility to Israel, have failed to bring about a negotiated settlement. Why would any "Palestinian" leader agree to compromise when an American President sides with his positions? By his action, President Trump may have opened up a new avenue to a settlement that had never existed before.

Only time will tell if despite their hostile rhetoric, the "Palestinians" would internalize the lesson, get used to the new reality and grab the opportunity presented to them by Trump.

Meanwhile, despite CNN and other fake news outlets who had warned us that President Trump announcement will ignite the wrath of the Muslim world, woke up yet again with eggs on their faces. When will these Fake News networks fire those commentators like Fareed Zakaria? The "emergency" meeting in Istanbul called in by Erdogan also proved empty and divided. The strife between the moderate Arab States and Iran seem much more important to the moderate Arabs than the "Palestinians."

List of Reasons Why all Foreign Countries Should Follow President Trump on Jerusalem

Arab and Muslim leaders and spokespersons have been trying to frighten the entire world in order to prevent other nations from recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital - Trump's declaration notwithstanding - and from relocating their embassies to Jerusalem. It's time to tell the world what it should have realized a long time ago.

1. Jerusalem, the capital of the Jewish people's state, is one of the most ancient capitals in the world. It became the capital of Israel's monarchy during the reign of King David - that is in 1003 B.C.E., 3030 years ago, when the capitals of the countries who refuse to recognize it were still boggy swamps, leafy forests or arid deserts. The history of the oldest nations of Europe, the Greeks and the Romans, proves without a doubt that Jerusalem was already the capital of the Jewish nation in ancient times.

2. The Jews are the only indigenous people of the land of Israel and lived in Jerusalem for 1613 years before the birth of Islam, which occurred in 610 C.E. Putting it bluntly, the Jews lived in Jerusalem when Islam's forefathers were still pagan nomads in the Arabian Peninsula, so what gives the Muslims of today the right to oppose Jerusalem's being recognized as the capital of the Jewish state?

3. Can anyone imagine Muslim threats of terror attacks, demonstrations or uncontrolled rioting having enough clout to limit or direct the political decisions made by world powers?

4. Is there any other country in the world that accepts the dictates of other states regarding the location of its capital city?

5. Why doesn't the world recognize Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem despite Israel's liberation of Jerusalem's eastern sector from illegal and illegitimate Jordanian occupation that was unrecognized by the world?

6. King Abdullah II, the Jordanian monarch, is trying to pressure Israel into establishing a Palestinian state on the hills of Judea and Samaria with its capital in East Jerusalem. Why did his father, King Hussein, who assumed the throne in the year 1952, refrain from doing so until Israel liberated eastern Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria from Jordanian occupation In 1967?

7. The Arab League demands that Israel establish a Palestinian state in the same area delineated by Abdullah II. Why didn't it demand the same of King Hussein, who assumed the throne in 1952, but instead waited until Israel liberated eastern Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria in 1967?

8. Many governments and international political figures back the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria with East Jerusalem as its capital. Why didn't those intrepid fighters for justice demand the same of King Hussein before 1967, while he ruled over areas of land granted to Israel, but illegally captured by Jordan?

9. During his campaign for the US presidency, Donald Trump promised unequivocally to move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and it is safe to assume that many voters, both Christian and Jewish, cast their votes for him as a result. He is therefore bound to fulfill that promise or lose his credibility, especially as Congressional elections are to take place next year, while presidential and Senate elections are a mere three years away.

10. Once all foreign embassies move to Jerusalem, Israel's enemies will realize that their war against the Jewish state has failed, and that all they can do is admit to that failure and accept Israel as a fait accompli, one there is no reason to fight anymore. This, by the way, is the definition of "peace" in the Middle East. For that reason, relocating all foreign embassies to Jerusalem will serve as a significant step forward in the quest for peace between Israel and the Arab and Islamic world.

11. One of the international organizations calling on the world not to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital is the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), consisting of 57 Islamic countries worldwide. This organizations, among other aspirations, wishes to make it illegal under international law to criticize Islam, thereby eliminating two fundamental and important freedoms basic to modern culture, freedom of thought and freedom to express an opinion. Everyone who holds dear his freedom of thought and expression is obliged to support everything this organization opposes, and make sure to place this organization outside the pale of human civilization.

12. Islamic opposition to recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital comes from Islam's belief that Judaism and all other religions are obsolete, leaving only Islam as the true faith. Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital grants Judaism the status of a living religion, one that threatens Islam, which arrived in the world in order to "supersede all existing religions" (Koran, chap. 9, verse 33). The world must inform the Muslims that they are expected to take care of their own affairs and leave other religions alone. Judaism is alive and well and does not pose a threat to any other religion. If Islam is incapable of dwelling in peace with other religions, it will have to be revised to allow for accepting "others", including Jews, as people with living religions and holy sites - Jerusalem, for example - and the right to behave in them as they choose.

13. It is no secret that most of the Arabs living in the land of Israel (aka Palestinians), their surrounding fellow Arabs and Muslims worldwide do not consider Israel a legitimate state anywhere, because according to Islam the Jews (and likewise the Christians) must live under Islamic dominance and protection as lowly dhimmis. This, of course, means being fourth class citizens with the limited rights granted them by Sharia law. Sharia denies Jews the right to a land of their own and denies recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital because it is against Islamic law. Giving in to these demands is in essence the modern world cowing humiliatingly to the Islamic worldview and to Islamic Sharia, both of which hail from the 7th century. Can anyone who believes in the freedom of man and his right to dignity honestly support that?

14. Another Islamist reason for Muslim opposition to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital is the Islamic religious concept of land as a factor in Israel's conflict with its neighbors.

According to Islam's tenets, every country can join Islam and become a "House of Islam"instead of a "House of War". There is, according to this mindset, no legitimate way for a country to be removed from Islam's ownership once it has been under Islamic rule for whatever length of time. Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital stamps a seal of approval on the establishment of a Jewish state on land once conquered by Muslims. It is therefore in direct contradiction to the way Islam views the nations of the world. That world is going to have to ask itself whether it is willing to act according to the way Islam views the world or whether it is going to stand up for the internationally accepted behavioral norms under which no one interferes with a country's choice of a capital city.

15. Many Muslims claim that the issue of Jerusalem must be solved as part of a peace agreement between Israel and the Arabs (aka Palestinians) living in the land of Israel. What is the connection between the establishment of some future state - should that ever come to pass - and the world's recognition of the fact that Jerusalem is and has always been the capital of the Jewish nation?

16. Terror organizations such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah proclaimed aloud their opposition to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. These announcements contain veiled and not-so-veiled threats about their intentions to react to the recognition by means of terror attacks. Had President Trump refrained from recognizing Jerusalem, that would have signified an abject surrender to terror that would only lead to additional threats in the future. The approval rating of these radical groups goes up in the Muslim world when politicians and states give in to them, brings more volunteers to their ranks and increases donations from their supporters. The recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital deals terror a blow - a blow to its image and its ability to enlist financial support and volunteers.

17. The Arabs conquered Jerusalem in 1948, turned the Jewish Quarter of the Old City into ruins and demolished tens of synagogues. Throughout 19 years of occupation, from 1948 to 1967, they willfully destroyed large parts of the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives and used the gravestones to build houses and pave streets, prevented Jews from visiting the sacred sites located in Judaism's holiest city. It is important to cite the criminal digging carried out by the Islamic Wakf and the Islamic Movement - with bulldozers , no less - on the Temple Mount, destroying priceless Jewish, Christian and other artifacts. The Muslim Arabs' treatment of the city, its residents, its past history and its holy sites makes them ineligible to express an opinion on its status and future. If the world ignores their opinions and recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital, they have only themselves to blame. Refraining from doing that raises their hopes of ruling over the city once again and a return to discriminating against the Jews, destroying their homes and synagogues and preventing their access to holy sites, just as they did until 1967.

18. During the 19 years of Arab occupation of eastern Jerusalem, Arab snipers shot and killed innocent Jews walking the streets of western Jerusalem, forcing Israel to build concrete walls along the streets and sidewalks in order to protect passersby. These sharpshooters would aim their shots to go through the windows of private homes, resulting in the murder and wounding of many of the city's Jewish residents. The enlightened world must tell the Arabs: "You have shown that you are not worthy of governing this holy city, even its eastern part, because who can guarantee that you won't go back to doing what you did for 19 years?"

19. For the past 50 years, since Israel liberated Jerusalem from Arab occupation, it is an open city - open to Jews, Christians, Muslims and any other religion. Freedom of worship is guaranteed to all (excepting Jews who are not allowed to pray on the Temple Mount because of the violent reactions of Muslim hooligans), there is free access to all the holy sites. Millions of tourists have visited Jerusalem since 1967, and tell of how its unique atmosphere has had a spiritual effect on them. Israel has proven that it is the only state in the region worthy of administering Jerusalem and keeping it free - as is Israel itself.

20. Most important of all: Jerusalem appears in the Bible hundreds of times under various names, while it does not appear in the Koran at all, not under any of the four names for it in Arabic which are Beis Almaquds (the house of the Temple), - a name that appears in a Hadith (Islamic oral law); Ilya, a shortened version of Ilya Capitolina, the name given to the city by the Romans, Orshalem, used by Christians, and Al Quds, a more recent name.

Jerusalem is holy to the Sunnis, not to the Shiites, The Sunnis wanted to downplay Mecca's importance at one point in history, ca. 682, and tried to initiate a Hajj pilgrimage to Jerusalem instead of Mecca. This fact, based on Islamic sources, turns any claims to Jerusalem as intrinsically holy to Islam into fake news originating in the seventh century power struggles among Mohammed's followers. Does the modern world have to act in accordance with the lies , false fables and tall tales about flying horses dating from seventh century Islam?

In sum, the only conclusion to be reached from the above twenty points is that there is no logic to the fact that so many countries still do not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. It's time they took a page from President Trump and moved their embassies to Jerusalem, the sooner the better..

Robin,

Republicans in Alabama voted their consciences Tuesday, and the result is that, for the first time in 25 years, Alabama has a Democrat in a Republican Senate seat that should have been the safest safe space this side of UC-Berkeley.

Despite the crowing from the media and the national party, this doesn't represent any great realignment or rising wave support for liberal policies in Alabama. If Luther Strange or Mo Brooks had been the candidate, this would've been a rubber-stamp footnote of a story. Instead, it represented a "bridge too far" uneasiness with a particular candidate that caused many Republicans to stay home and just enough (nearly 23,000, or 1.7% of the vote) to write in a different candidate, and hand a squeaker victory to Doug Jones over Roy Moore by 49.9% to 48.4%. Even with an Obama-level turnout of black voters for Jones in urban areas, he was unable to top 50% and would have lost handily if so many Republicans hadn't rejected their own candidate and stayed home.

Texting on the job

By Mike Huckabee

Are you starting to suspect that the investigation of Russian collusion by the Trump campaign is cratering into a corrupt, money-squandering waste of time ($7 million and counting, and the only collusion it's turned up so far is between Hillary's campaign and Russia, and its own investigators colluding to defeat Trump)?  Well, never fear: Washington is a bottomless pit of endless, expensive investigations, which are a heck of a lot more fun than actually getting anything done.  Here's the investigation news round-up so far this week (and it's only Thursday):

Some of the texts exchanged between two FBI agents who were formerly on Robert Mueller's investigation team have been released.  Peter Strzok and Lisa Page wrote them throughout the election and were allegedly having an affair (is that now called "colluding" in Washington?)  As expected, they prove both agents despised Trump and called him "idiot," "loathsome" and other nasty names. Interesting twist for liberals: They also hated Bernie Sanders. Page was apparently such a Hillary Clinton partisan that she texted that she'd just seen her first "Bernie for President" bumper sticker and it "made me want to key the car."  Strzok texted back that Bernie is an idiot, too.  You know, all this might lead a cynic to suspect that they were biased and perhaps didn't belong on an impartial investigation of a political figure they openly despised. 

---------------------------

Investigating the special investigator

By Mike Huckabee

Along with all the previous revelations of bias, leaks and cover-ups by Mueller's team, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow is calling for a special counsel to investigate the special counsel.  When I predicted that very thing a while back, it was sort of a joke, but this shows how difficult it is to make a joke these days that won't immediately become a real news item.  Sticklers argue that a DOJ inspector general is the official who investigates a special counsel.  Fine, but don't be surprised when there's a special counsel to investigate the inspector general who's investigating the special counsel (I give that joke six weeks before it comes true.)

------------------------------

New line of attack

By Mike Huckabee

Next, as if to tacitly signal that the "Russia collusion" hunters have got nuthin', Brave New Films, a "documentary" film company associated with Media Matters and George Soros, is promoting three women who accused Donald Trump of sexual harassment during the campaign.  They are repeating their charges and demanding that he resign.  More than 50 female Congress members immediately demanded an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by Trump, all of which he has denied.

----------------------

Word of the year

By Mike Huckabee

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary has been leaning more and more PC in recent years, so it's no surprise that they just declared "feminism" to be the "word of the year" for 2017.  Okay, I can see that.  But here's a challenge for them: now define it in a way that everyone agrees with.

-----------------------

The moral high ground

By Mike Huckabee

One lesson that I seriously doubt the media will absorb is that it shatters the ridiculous narrative currently being peddled by the Democrats that they are suddenly the "moral high ground" party and it's Republicans who will abandon their moral principles for expediency.  If conservative Christians in Alabama really were hypocrites who practiced DC-style situational ethics, they would've pulled the lever for Moore without a second thought.  As for their support of Trump despite sexual harassment allegations against him, perhaps they forgot voters had two choices; and the Democrats were offering up the Clintons, the poster children for sexual misconduct and smearing the victims.  And that was after 25 years of the party telling us that character doesn't count and sexual behavior is personal and irrelevant for office, specifically to protect the Clintons!
