Ever since King David made Jerusalem the capital of Israel 3,000 years ago, the city has played a central role in Jewish existence. The Western Wall in the Old City — the last remaining wall of the ancient Jewish Temple, the holiest site in Judaism — is the object of Jewish veneration and the focus of Jewish prayer. Three times a day for thousands of years Jews have prayed To Jerusalem, thy city, shall we return with joy, and have repeated the Psalmist\'s oath: If I forget thee, O Jerusalem...

Google BOYCOTT ISRAEL. Sporting, political, cultural and trading boycotts all helped bring an end to Apartheid in South Africa.

The Palestinian Authority has intentionally mobilized Palestinian children to man the front line in its struggle against Israel, frequently using them as shields to protect Palestinian gunmen. This mobilization of Palestinian youth has, moreover, been facilitated by the long-term impact of Palestinian Authority (PA) curricula, government-controlle d media, and summer camp programs, which indoctrinated the youth for armed confrontation with Israel even prior to the current crisis.
Barack Obama Speech Jun 09Observer(2 years 5 months ago)
The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop. Israel must also live up to its obligations to ensure that Palestinians can develop their society. Israel must take concrete steps to enable such progress. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a State of their own.

Israel faces expulsion from UNObserver(2 years 6 months ago)
Google May 11 2009 UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon Speech. Israel is in violation of its terms of admission, it is not a member in good standing, so the UN has every right to declare Resolution 273 null and void. Since Israels membership depends on adherence to that resolution, its expulsion is automatic. After Operation Cast Lead no person, no country, no democracy can look at Israel without thinking of the inhuman slaughter and destruction committed by the axis powers in World War II.

The Web sites of various Palestinian terrorist groups proclaim - usually only in English and almost never in Arabic - that they have no quarrel with the Jews, only with the Zionists. Yet they target every Jew, regardless of his or her individual political views, and they apologize when they accidentally kill a non-Jew, regardless of his political views. The racist acts of these terrorist groups speak louder than their sanitized English-only anti-Zionist Web sites.
