Jews Must Never Forget Trump For Remembering Our Unforgettable Jerusalem
2018-02-23
[Mercer at Townhall] The United Nations, naturally, disapproved.

Pope Francis, more enigmatically, protested, too, when President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel. By 2019’s end, the Trump administration plans to open the American Embassy in Jerusalem.

There's a reason Muslims living in Israel proper‐1.5 million of them‐don't migrate to the adjacent Palestinian Authority. They're better off in Israel. Should Jerusalem, East and West, be recognized formally as the capital of Israel only, under Jewish control alone; Christianity's holiest sites will be better off. Judaism's holy sites will be safer. And so will Islam's.

Jerusalem is no settlement to be haggled over; it's the capital of the Jewish State. King David conquered it 1000 years Before Christ. The city's "Muslim Period" began only in the year 638 of the Common Era.

"Yerushalaim," and not Al Quds, is the name of the city that was sacred to Jews for nearly two thousand years before Muhammad.

Indeed, not once is Jerusalem mentioned in the Quran. And while Muhammad was said to have departed to the heavens from the Al Aksa Mosque, there was no mosque in Jerusalem. The Dome of the Rock and the Al Aksa Mosque were built upon the Jewish Temple Mount. Muslim theologians subsequently justified this usurpation by superimposing their own chronology‐and relatively recent fondness for Jerusalem‐upon the existing, ancient sanctity of the place to Jews.

Essentially, this amounts to historical identity theft.
