MY SAY: ON JERUSALEM

My e-pal P. David Hornik,(http://frontpagemag.com/2012/davidhornik/west-longs-for-jew-free-zones-in-jerusalem/print/) reminds us today how the West, not content with dividing Israel’s capital now seeks actual Jew-free zones in Jerusalem, the locus of the prayers of Jews for centuries. Once, among Jews and their supporters -even leftists and pacifists- considered the city undividable. Candidates and platforms of both major political parties in America issued strong calls for moving the American embassy there. Where has that support vanished? Where are the leaders? Where is the outrage?

Psalm 137

“If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her skill. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.”
