    Ask the Europeans for the name of the Palestinian Capital – they should say Jenin – but they’ll say Jerusalem – Antisemites…

    Capital of what? A non existent country?
    Palestinians? A non existent people?
    Why perpetuate these terms by using them?
    Pseudo Palestinians may be accurate.
    PP sounds more accurate.

    Bad habits are hard to break but let’s give it a try. It might catch on.

    What would be wrong if they made Tel Aviv the political capital of Israel, and Jerusalem the religious capital of Israel? Politics is, by nature, a dirty, secular business, and to have that kind of activity carried on in the city of Jerusalem takes away from the holiness of that city. Having two capitals in one political entity is not uncommon in the US. Quick now, what is the capital of New York State? Albany, of course, not New York City. What about Pennsylvania? Harrisburg, of course, not Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. What about Texas? Austin, of course, not Dallas or Houston. What about California? Sacramento, of course, not Los Angeles or San Francisco or San Diego.

    Saul,

    With the possible exception of Rhode Island each of the US states are considerably larger than tiny Israel. The system of government is different and reasonably workable and, indeed, preferable in such a large country although individual states are often in conflict with each other and with Washington. Washington is not situate in any of the states. As well, each city/town/village has its own municipal government. Each of the political entities has jurisdiction over certain specific elements of governance.
    Israel has always been the capital of all of Israel.
    I see no reason to introduce divisions of jurisdiction which could lead to strife as well as greatly increase expenses.

      Thank you, Mickey, for sharing your thoughts. As far as I know, no one ever left a kvitel in the grill-work of the iron gates of the Knesset, but millions have been left in the spaces between the stones of the Kotel. There is something different about Jerusalem, different from any other city in the world, and we should strive to revere it for the qualities of its uniqueness. Oh well, I tried. Ofra Haza would have been proud of me.

        Saul,

        I fully agree with you about Jerusalem being different.
        The differences are in the stones of its buildings, the layout of its streets, its colours, its ancient walls, its unparalleled history, its archaeological sites, its sounds, its tolerance, its homes, its shops, its people and even its air and light.

        These are all compelling reasons for it to be Israel’s political as well as religious capital. If representatives of other countries were obliged to stay and work in Jerusalem they would see for themselves the great heart of Judaism.

        Tel Aviv is special in its own right but it is not suited to be the dignified capital of the Jewish state.

    May I repeat myself? Instead of the formula “land for peace” we should remember Ron Proser’s recent UN observation that the Arabs have been holding Mizrahi lands four times the size of Israel. So we should be negotiating with our true adversaries, the Arab League, and insisting on “Land for Land” i.e. all of Samaria, Judea, and maybe Gaza and the Sinai. That’s about four times the size of Israel OR they can give us back all the Mizrahi lands that they confiscated in Egypt, Tunis, Morocco, Iraq, Iran, etc. 1947-67. Fair enough?

    If it is true, then we can say
    “Goodbye HUMANITY, farewell HUMAN-RIGHTS. GOOD NIGHT WESTERN CULTURE, take a deep breath, for thousands of years until you resurrects! The IRANIAN-ISLAMIC DARK AGES have already begun!

    Sorry dear sleepy fellows, to have disturbed you shiny dreams. Stand by and let HUMANITY go down the drain. In the meanwhile, you conscience can be easily cleaned up by constantly CRITICIZING ISRAEL, ignoring the facts about Islamic Jihad…
    Keep criticizing Israel so that you can SLEEP TIGHT!

    Whom is to blame?

    It is clear and brisk in the Pro Islamic world (Media too? Can it be?)
    * Palestinian husband cut his wife’s throat? “Israel Mussad”
    * Irani woman is stoned on treachery?
    * Islamic Republic hangs, hundreds, her own smugglers?
    * President Assad murders his own Syrian residents?
    * Jihad of Lebanon with Syrian Army depresses Syrians?
    * Hamas of Gaza and Al-Qaida Attack Israel border?
    * Pakistani Intelligence and Islamic Terror kill 160+ in India?
    * Al-Qaida topples Twin Towers in NY?
    * African Wars?
    * Arafat’s dead?
    * Munich Olympic Terror against Israeli Sportsmen?

    Isn’t it clear? Israeli Mussad! GOOOD Night WORLD! Honest Reporting has to rest

    The city of jerusalem is not only the capital of israel,but it will be for all eturnity,the capital city of the new heaven and the new earth,and the God of israel will not be engaging in any arguement with any one,about it.He as been speaking about it throughout the scripture and he will not add another word to it.The bible discribes jerusalem as,The eturnal city,The city of God,The city of the great king. Revelation 21 v 1-27,22 v1-10. whilst the present jerusalem was built by man,however the new jerusalem is build by God himself Hebrews 11 v 10.

    Palestinian terrorists are rewriting Israel’s ancient history blotting Israel’s history from Middle-East textbooks. To counter Palestinian claims google:(Assyria,Babylon,Biblical,Cush,Egypt & Elam Confirmations) and witness five ancient nations having historical connections with Israel.

      “Middle-East textbooks” will continue to blot Israel from their pages of history as long as those textbooks are produced by Muslims.
      They will continue to instruct Muslim students about the glories of dying.
      Generation after generation of Islamic youth will waste their pathetic lives seeking not to build a civilization but to destroy one and destroy themselves as well to gratify their sexual desires.
      The Children of Israel wandered in the desert for forty years until all the sinners had died.
      The children of Islam are going to have to wander for a much longer period to erase all those who have been corrupted by Islamic textbooks – at least forty years after the last textbook is destroyed.

    “Kol hakavod” for your work. Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel
    I think the Jews in England and the whole world still suffer on the “ghetto-syndrom” and are therefore afraid to speak what they think. They are afraid the “world” could come back on them and make them suffer more!

    anareva,
    What you say is true for some Jews but many of us are more than willing to speak out and fight against antisemitism and anti Israelism.
    It took us 2000 years to learn that silence is not golden and today we are putting that knowledge to good use thanks in large part to the moral support provided by the very existence of Israel.
    Yes, there are far too many timid and indifferent and foolish Jews but their numbers are diminishing and will continue to do so. Some, too many, will lose their Judaism but our numbers in all our variations of religious practice will continue to increase. We have outlasted many mighty civilizations and will continue to do so. We are here to stay, anareva.

    Now we have to worry about the greatest danger, not only to Israel but to the West including America: Hussain Obama……Anyone who hates the American veterans (I am a two war veteran) is evil beyond comprehension. But this Horrible Communist has a goal in mind: Break American and hand the pieces to the Russian Bolshevicks. Rememer, his mentor: Alfred Marshal Davis was trained by the Russian Communists.
    I am afraid that history will repeat itself: The world is asleep while the great anti Christ takes over the free.

    I ‘d like to know why Honest Reporting doesn’t refer to the Israelis’ attitudes and behavior toward refugees, especially those from North Africa or other non-white places. I so approve of the news I do get, news that is otherwise
    often distorted by media,or ignored, or made light of. Still, Israel is far from perfect in its treatment of Palestinians and those who come for shelter and aid from other countries. Wouldn’t your reporting be more honest if it included some negative, yet truthful news about Israel?

      Greta,
      Just how many refugees from Arab decimated lands do you suggest tiny Israel accept? Who is going to pay for their maintenance? Saudi Arabia?
      The wealthy Gulf States? The world’s 1.3 billion Muslims? The United Church of Canada? The Church of England? The Vatican? The UN? The EU?
      Don’t you dare bring colour into the discussion. Israel has gladly accepted thousands of people of colour, given them citizenship and all the rights and privileges of any other Israeli.
      As for Israel’s treatment of Pseudo Palestinians. When they unreservedly
      support Israel then they can expect to be treated as they like. But when every PP is a likely killer Israelis must be reservedly cautious.

      110,000 Ethiopian Falashas were flown into Israel, and thousands more in Africa whose tenuous claims to Judaism are under consideration. Many hundreds of Sudanese, non-Jews have sought refuge in Israel with some preying upon the Israeli public. They were simply shot by the Egyptians. It’s the official policy and steps taken by governments that count, not the temporary irritations of the citizenry. I recall the radio talk show call in rage of Brits when Indians were being expelled from Africa and were expected to return home to Britain. There was general hostility to mere thoughts of their return. I recall well the intensity of anti-Semitism of the 1930′s; I sense its growing return.

      “Still, Israel is far from perfect…”

      Only the best can be compared to PERFECTION! It is a huge complement
      An actual society should be first compared with other actual societies:
      • Moslem world has so far murdered more that 11 million Moslems.
      • They killed and injured Thousands of non-Moslem tourists
      • Sudan-Moslems murder thousand of Eritreans and South-Sudanese
      • Syria kills daily toll of 100-200 citizens
      And you dear Greta, teach the world Standards of Humanity, by criticizing Israel because she is “far from perfect”.
      It is true, as compared with the Ideal Behavior you expect only from the best there is. Thank you for your complement

      “… Israelis’ attitudes and behavior toward refugees, especially those from North Africa …”
      • Hezbollah attacks everybody and anybody who is any different
      • Iran works hard to achieve Atomic Bomb to destroy the West “Big Satan”, then Israel (Little Satan), then the Arabs, then the Sunnites of the world
      • Pseudo-Palestinians, keep their own people in Ghetto’s called “Refugee Camps”
      • Arabs of Israel expel those North Africans you talk about and chase them down as infidels
      And you dear Greta, teach the world, Standards of Humanity, by criticizing Israel because she is “far from perfect”.
      It is true, as compared with the Ideal Behavior you expect only from the best!

      • Greek, Italy, Spain, France, and many other European (white’s) send back and forth thousands of those the same refugees that you so perfectly care about, without any hesitation or HR criticism
      • US chases illegal refugees from Mexico/ south America
      • China and Russia chase opposition
      Happily, You do OUR job, by criticizing Israel because she is “far from perfect”. It is true! We all should respect human rights.

    There is some consolation in the Muslim persistence in deluding themselves with lies. When one is in the habit of not considering all relevant facts, one is in grave danger of being unprepared for on the ground realities of war. This proves to be of major advantage to Israeli forces in the event of war.
    This doesn’t mean that we should not be making every effort to provide facts to those disinclined to delude themselves,e.g. those generally unacquainted with the fact of the “other Nakba”, the 850,000 Mizrahi Jews expelled from Muslim world in revenge for the defeat of the five invading Arab armies of 1948 or the expropriation of Jewish properties there, lands four times the size of Israe
