Jerusalem Day 2010 – Obama’s Not Celebrating

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Today is Jerusalem Day, an Israeli national holiday that commemorates the reunification of the city and the liberation of the Western Wall after the 1967 war. In Israel there will be parades, celebration and memorial services for soldiers who died in the battle for Jerusalem. But in the Obama White House I can say with certainty that today will be just another day to force Israel to accept the administration’s long-term plan to re-divide the city and turn at least half of it over to the Islamists who dream of a world with no Israel and no America.

Obama, ignoring history, seems to think that a land dispute is what keeps the Middle East in constant tension. The truth is that what strokes the fires of radical Islam is not that there are Jewish homes in a particular neighborhood, but rather that there are Jews alive anywhere.

Fifteen years ago, then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin spoke in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol here in Washington, D.C. In moving remarks about what Jerusalem means to the people of Israel, he said: “In Israel we all agree on one issue: the wholeness of Jerusalem, the continuation of its existence as capital of the State of Israel. There are not two Jerusalems. There is only one Jerusalem. For us, Jerusalem is not subject to compromise and there is no peace without Jerusalem.”

The audience, filled with Members of Congress from both parties, cheered his remarks. Today, Obama and the leftwing of his party are infuriated when Prime Minister Netanyahu takes the same position--that Jerusalem must remain the united capitol of Israel.

My ad on YouTube, “Keep Israel Safe,” has more than 20,000 views. We will continue to do everything we can to expose the anti-Israel agenda of the Obama Administration. Its efforts to curry favor with thugs in the Middle East is endangering the U.S. and Israel.
