Bibi's Blog: There is no state without Jerusalem

Mr. Netanyahu,

This is must no longer be about politics, no longer about honor and prestige, and no longer about having a career. Once again, as has been a repeated theme throughout history, the Jewish people are in great danger. G-d almighty will for sure save us from any ensnaring trap, the only choice that you have to make in this matter is will you be the one to step up for your people, or will someone else. Just as in the Megillah, Esther made the choice to redeem her people so should you use your influence to step up for your people. The Lubavitcher Rebbe has taught us that we are all one, each and every single Jew is a vital and invaluable part of the Jewish body. We can all help affect this situation and the world situation for the good. Use your posistion to end the politics and stand up for what is right and just.....use your influence to boldly stand up for the Jewish people!

I agree with all you have saud, I just hope that when you become Prime Minister you will remember what you say. No dividing the city; it never belonged to anyone except us. There are no people called "Palestinians" it is a name adopted by Arab and other Muslims to try to control our land, given to us by G-d as an inheritance forever and ever - but only if we are true to Him. It is a shame that we do not have the same great propoganders as they have - just like the Nazis, if they repeat a lie often enough the whole world who hates Jews accept all their lies. Good luck to you.

This little anecdote about Ben Gurion is quite astonishing, though not surprising, unfortunately. So he's banging on a table saying there's not state without Jerusalem. Wasn't this the statesman who less than a year earlier had agreed to a UN partition plan where Jerusalem would not be part of a Jewish state but under the control of the UN? How could he agree to such a thing if there's no state without Jerusalem? Because this isn't a man of values, morals, or principles, but one who believes it's perfectly fine to go through the motions of saying one thing for international consumption while doing what he pleases on the ground with military force, regardless of who gets hurt or killed in the process. This is a vile human being who, unfortunately, is the embodiment of what would become of Zionism. And to think I once supported Israel.

Bibi for President!

Zech 12:2-3

"I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves."

Jerusalem is Gods holy city.Both Christians and Jews must fight to keep it His. God bless Binyamin Netanyahu

Bibi- Hazak, hazak, venithazake. Know this, if you wont be the leader we know you can be, someone else will. Thats always the way of history. Please this time let your common denominator be the right thing to do, instead of the political thing to do.

This comes from the heart, and it MUST come from the heart of every jew no matter what their political views are

I fully agree. jerusalem is Israel's. Bible just as a religious book, is also history book. jersalem always pospered when it was under jewish rule. Israel, throw away ur prime minister and make Ben as your leader. you need someone who knows your root. As an indian i would like to see a strong israel in middle east.

Bravo Mr Netanyahou..God bless you

Binyamin is truely a man set apart by God to protect the Holy City of Jerusalem! Fight on, your efforts or not in vain.

It is refreshing to find atleast one Israeli political leader who knows to whom the Holy City of Jerusalem belongs! It is time for Nations, with America in the lead, to locate their embassies in the City.

Do not trust you Netanayahu. You gave Hebron away and these accords. You may change your mind once in power. Many Haredim are under poverty with you.

The Arabs instigated the Six Day War. Had they won their leaders would have"pushed the (3 million) Jews into the sea", as they had declared, a scant 22 years after 6 million Jews were wiped out. The Syrian and Iraqui regimes were based on Nazi ideology, and their leaders meant what they said.

Arabs must bear the consequences of their premediated actions. Israel lost 2000 soldiers at the hands of Arabs to remove the Arab threat adjacent to their capital. The lives of these soldiers cannot be returned, and neither must Jerusalem. Any Israeli offers at returning parts of the West Bank is a concession for peace, and not an obligation.

the speech by netanyahu is a holy one.

without the entire jerusalem israel is not complete, i we give a little little piece of jerusalem we are giving a big big part of our lifes

I fully agree. There is no Israel withou Jerusalem, and then I mean the whole Jerusalem - undivided. Please, Jews, never give up your inheritence. Your Messiah will stand on the Mt. of Olieves when He comes. I am prayig for the peace of Jerusalemm very often.

I love Israel, and I'm a proud Jew. But is a wall of stones really worth fighting for? Jerusalem is an old, weathered, falling-apart city, not a modern metropolis like Tel Aviv, London or New York. Let the crazy fundamentalists have Jerusalem - who needs the trouble! Move the Western Wall stone by stone, so the dossim can still pray at it. And if the dossim want to stay in a Muslim-controlled Jerusalem at their own peril, let them. They can defend themselves. Secular Israelis living in TA should not have to spill their blood for dossim who don't work and don't serve in the army. I know this will not be a popular opinion, but we should fight the battles worth fighting. Jerusalem is Israel's past - let's look to the future!

Ben ben ben.

How long are you khazars gonna try to fool the world? You usurped the Judahic name in 740AD (See Khazar its easy to find info).

Usurpers supreme is what most of you are.

shame, shame shame

jerusalem capital del estado de israel

netanyahu, you're good at fooling yourself and others, but you will not fool the Palestinians. They know better. They know their Jerusalem " AlQuds", and how important to them; and know it's connections to their faiths. I admit you have a special skills of making up stories in rewriting hostories. What a waste! I wish and pray that you use your skills to benefit the israelis and palestininas and bring peace between them, so both people can live on peace and harmony. You know very will that Jerusalem is in the heart of more than a billion and half muslims. So what to do? keep fighting and keep killing each other just because you want to portray yourself as oh netnyaho is tough man. Know you're not and the Palestinias don't care. I for one I will continue to do whatever I can to claim my land back and live in peace, dignity, and freedom like everyone else in this world. I believe in peace, liberty, and prosperity for the Palestinians and Israelis. The Israelis will not acheive any of these while people, or what so called leader like you continue to call for war against the palestininas, instead of calling for their freedom in a free homeland. Please get real and work for peace between these two people. please let's put the rethoric aside, so we can put a stop to the killing in both sides.

Thank you.

Mr Netanyahu, I assume that by now your Tafkid has become unbearably obvious, but terrifying. Step forward, Chazak VeAmatz. Soon the children will lose their land. Only you can fight for its return.

Mr. Netanyahu,

Thank you so much for your service and bravery. I am the great nephew of Ernest Stehlik. He was a "Machalnik" in 1948 (David Bercuson's book, The Secret Army, and Leonard Slater's book The Pleadge. I am a Christian man who has come from a Czech Jewish/Christian backgrownd. My great uncle taught my mind the history lesson of the founding of Israel. He went further to touch my heart and soul about the plight of the Czech Jewish families in WWII. To this day I celibrate Israeli indepenence on May 15. I usually watch the movies Judith, and Cast a Giant Shadow. Your wonderful blog on, "No state without Jerusalem" has touched me deeply. Thank you for reminding us all of Mr. Ben Gurion's passion and insistance of the survival of Jerusalem. Let "Next year in Jerusalem" remain on the lips and in the hearts of all who Love and believe in Israel, forever the Jewish homeland, and forever the State of the Jewish peoples. Thank you. God Bless and Shalom. John Gateley

Wake up and smell the gunpowder. Israel will stand united with or without world opinion. Israel can not afford to lose 1 major war. The day that major war will be lost, so to shall Israel. United Israel will stand. Divided Israel will fall and that goes for Jerusalem.

At the entrance to the Knesset via its parking lot there is a golden copy of the Menorah depicted on the Titus Victory Arch in Rome. Hopefully, members of the Knesset look upon it, and are reminded of their historic responsibility to lead and preserve the only home for the Jews. If we lose Jerusalem this time, we ourselves will be to blame.

The Bible says that Jerusalem is the City of the Great King. God has given it to His chosen people,the Jews, to dwell there and to keep holy. Israel, you have bought it back again with your blood. Never even think of dividing it again. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel.

You don't have to be Jewish to know Jerusalem belongs to the Israeli people. Christians know it too and support your national efforts to keep it as your capital.

Bibi is the only, current Israeli official that I support. Hopefully, his past experiences have taught him many lessons. Sadly, I believe US Presidents may have twisted the arms of your PMs to advance the Land for Peace deals. Will any of us ever learn?

God Bless Israel !!! Without the Jewish faith we would have no Bible. Not one of the 66 books of the Bible were written by a Gentile !! Israel without Jerusalem NO WAY !! As a proud American and Christian I hope that one day I have the honor to act in faith to help protect your Blessed Country and City !

Bibi, your commitment to Jerusalem is fantastic, and all.

But didn't you say a number of years ago that Hebron was also holy to the Jews? And you gave it away to the arabs. What gives?

I agree wholeheartedly with the position that Jerusalem belongs with Israel, and that Jerusalem is the real capital of the State of Israel.

I believe that the leaders of Israel need to start acting like leaders. They need to be thinking about what is best for the very SURVIVAL of Israel and its people, and worry less about world opinion.

As an example, consider this proposal to deal with suicide bombers. To the so-called Palestinians, the quest for territory(land) means everything. It means more than human life. Therfore, for every suicide bombing incident, consider taking back some of the territory(land) previously given to them. For example, one bombing= 500 sq. meters of land taken back. A second bombing loses another 500 sq. meters, etc. All of a sudden, the suicide bombers start to lose their attraction, and the results of their actions directly hurt their own cause. This would really help to take the shine off of their martyrdom and would put the pressure on their own organizations to stop the insanity.

I would love to hear other comments on this.

Hopefully these sentiments will have practical consequences if BB becomes PM, like mandating that only Jews can buy out moslem inhabitants in the Old City, at least, when they buy or die, to make the city Jewish and remove moslems claims to it based on habitation.

There are three items that define a nation Special Laws, Special Language,Special Land.The torah is our special Laws, Hebrew is our special language and Israel is our special land.The United States has special laws the Constitution,special language English and special land the United States from sea to shinning sea. The US capitol is Washington defined and recognized not by London or Paris but by the citizens of the United States. The capitol of Israel is defined and recognized not only by its citizens but in conjunction with a higher source ha shem. Our greatest respect from the world is when we act with strenght and demand respect.IF nations want to do business with Israel they must do busines on our terms by recognizing Jerusalem as our capitol.

Mr. Netanyahu, Israel is in the center of the world for a reason. G-d decided to bring about His plan for the world through the tiny nation of Israel with Jerusalem at its center. The City of G-d will never belong to another for He says " I have set my watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. Isaiah 62:6-7

Please get rid of Olmert and get elected as PM. We need you because we are in great danger, not only from Iran,but from Hamas and Hezbollah. We need your leadership and your courage and we must win this fight. We must survive and live!

Jerusalem is not what keeps the Jews hopes alive but rather what sits atop the city...The Temple Mount. Israel has the city but when are you going to claim your birthrite and reclaim the temple mount? That is the core desire that keeps the hopes and wills of Jews around the world focused. As Israel becomes increasingly secular many are forgetful of why Jerusalem is important. It's not the city, it's the hope of the Jew that one day God will choose to speak to his children from the same place that he did in the past.

But for those whom have forgotten, Jerusalem, the city, will do. Speak plainly and make your real point known, Bibi. Call upon God and he will come.

BB Without researching but from memory I pose the following questions: Did you accept the Oslo agreements? yes! did you give up most of hebron? yes! Did yoy supply more weapons to arafat? yes!Did you agree to give up 6-10% of westbank? yes! did you show same cowardly restraint of acting against arab aggression time and again until you had no choice and against hizbola and syria until you had reseigned yourself to new elections and arens was DM? yes!Did you abandon the feild to sharon when you could have been PM. Did you not support gaza withdrawal and only resigned when polls showed it was not as popular as you beleived and to try to preserve some credability with your core support when it would have no effect on gaza outcome? yes! Did you not explore giving up golan or major portion with butcher in damascas? yes! we thought we were getting a right wing conservative leader steaped in classical zionist and jewish ideology with a strong historical world view of israel and the jewish peoples place in history. instead we got waterd down copy of yossi sarid. you betrayed us in showing us the small petty politician that you were. there is a saying if you burn me once your fault if I let you burn me second time it is my fault.. You always talked the talk but almost never walked the walk. you brought naveh, livni and others like them into politics and promoted them, then they turned on you. wasent it obvious that all were using you for advancement till you were no longer an asset for them. Your choices in people and lack of loyalty by them to you is glaring. Heh I am not looking for a saint but a leader that says what he thinks and then acts to impliment his beleifs.I have admit you had a lot of bad luck but that goes with the territory you never overcame it and you know that unlike sharon adopting the lefts agenda will not endear you to thm they hate you too much, its either solidifying right wing base or losing the next round of elections. so you would be advised to say what you mean up front, if we like it we might give you another chance , then again maybe we wont.

Bibi, I don't understand why Olmert's Govt have not imploded on itself? I can not assume the left leaning Labor as our Democrats are here that foolish. Why are you not becoming stronger overall, Likuid is like our Republican party and it is truly a shame of history that Likud has not been in power durring President Bush, The World would be better off with Guilliani/Gingrich As Pres/ and VP here and You in Israel.

Bibi,

We trusted you. We put our faith in you. And then when you were elected PM, you put the Golan up on the negotiating block. Few people talk about this today. But most do not forget. Where was your owmn personal Lion of Judah? Where were your convictions? How can we trust that you will not do what all recent politicians have done - 180 degree turnarounds in policies and cheap sell outs to America and our Arab antagonist neoghtboors? Where is Menachem Begin when we need him most?

To all Israelis:

Giving up Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Golan is as criminal as was giving up Gaza. You can see the result. Every concession is a tribute to Chamberlain at Munich. The demands of the Palestinians will never cease. There will be increasing demands to allow the refugees to return. There will also be increased demands that Israel give up its nuclear weapons. It's beyond me why Israel, with the strongest military force in the area, has to bend over backwards to placate a savage enemy. The military action in Lebanon was a fiasco. Rockets hit Isral every day without a meaningful response from the best airforce in the world. What a farce is Israeli leadership and what a shame that you Israelis allow this to continue.

Robert (#30):

A good start, but your idea needs more elements to rise to a comprehensive plan. First, it can't be an agreed approach, but a statement of Israeli policy that will bind the government in the future. Second, there needs to be an a priori border from which to take the /bombing parcels. Third, Israel has to commit to assisting in the economic development of the Arab state, regardless of terror, thus de-linking its commitment to Palestinian independence from how the Palestinians behave. Fourth, independence has to be put on a clock -- say three years -- which will be re-set to 0 every time there is an outrage, thus making independence that much farther off as well as the country becoming that much smaller.

I wrote a comprehensive plan along these lines in 1998 (when Bibi was PM).

To Mr.PM Netanyahu.......Once upon a time,I was born in iran,land of Kings and kings ,land of Cyrus the great,Esther,Ezra,and Mordekhei. It was a sweet golden dreem.today Iran an endless nightmere.I was born as muslim.My father was Ambassador {Mostafa namdar}of our beloved late shah Pahlavi,to austria,right before the revolution in 1979 .my mother side descendent of Quajar dynasty.As i recall vividly we were braught up as true zionist and on daily basis, my father would express his love and respect for his jewish freinds.my father's voice is still alive in my head.he would often say we iranians have an eternal bond with the jewish nation.the most real and patriotic iranians are our jewish nation.since i can recall ,he would often tell us,Islam would one day destroy Iran.well,he was right .the fashist islamic of iran ,tortured and killed my high rank millitary and diplomat cousines ,frinds and relatives.my father was labeled as a CIA agent.and was on death row.he managed to escape on foot with Kurds on in winter Via Arrarat mountaigns,10 days and night,at age of 60.eventhow i have never been to israel i always felt Israel is my second contry. my love for israel is beyound imagination.i choose only to walk and dine with zionists.people who are antisemite ,are evil!....iran today is land of terrorism,beheading,and public hanging is a form of entertainment.and their evil agenda must be stopped.the globe should understant all these sanctions will never work.military force and dictatorship is the only solution.my dreem is for israel and the usa envade iran and replace this ugly islamic flag with huge israly and usa flags all over iran.Through centuries England,france,and the ducth took over many countries.history tells us colony had a great positive results. my other dreem is to see you,Mr.PM netenyahoo to be in charge.with love and respect :zari namdar[yesterday iranian,today an all American girl with a jewish heart and soul]. long live israel and it's soldiers.

Jerusalem oh jerusalem the apple of Gods eye....The seeds of the apple are genereated from the Temple Mount and 40 years ago(1967) Isreal was fearful of the "giants in the land" Has the forty years ended? will Isreal once again take control of Gods most Holy ?

Mr. Netanyahu,

Let me start by saying that in my view, you are a rarity in Israeli politics. You are one of the only politicians with both the ability and the will to confront terrorists head on.

If I were an Israeli citizen, the Likud would have my vote in the next election.

I hope you become Prime Minister at the next election; the Winograd Commission has proven the uselessness of Kadima.

Please, I beg you, Mr. Netanyahu, stop the terrorists. Stop the shootings in the West Bank. Stop the Qassam rockets landing in Sderot.

Terrorism is a cancer, that should be eradicated from the face of the Earth. Israel can live in peace if the Palestinian terrorists, including the Hamas politicians, are arrested, exiled or killed.

Good luck, Mr. Netanyahu.

I was born in Iran...I wish I was born in ISRAEL... Dear Honorable Mr. Netanyahu: My love for Israel is deep.My heart beets for Israel and it's nation. Just to show my gratitude and love to the jewish nation ,I gave my Iranian citizenship back .I divorced myself from Iran.shame on the Islamic Republic of Iran to turn it's nation toward hate and distruction.to me ,Iran is dead ,finished, gone,and lost. I wish Cyrus the great and Esther were alive.I wish Mr.Moshe Dayan and Mr.Sharon were present and breathing. I wish king Pahlavi was rulling. i wish prince Reza pahlavi had a stronger voice.He was our only hope. with love and respect,for israely and usa soldiers. zari namdar artist.

Bibi, I just went out on a date, with a jewish guy and we spent the entire evening arguing about the legitimacy of Israel's actions..How Israel' s response to the kidnapping of its soldiers was

" disproportionate" and how Israel trained Hamas and Hesbollah so they could "fight " each other and of course, how AIPAC had "brainwashed me"..Bla, bla..It went on all night. So much bullshit, and not enough wine. If only you had been my date..

Mr. Netanyahu, this is low-hanging fruit, the Israeli equivalent of apple pie and motherhood. If you aspire to be a better leader than the rest you need to answer one question yes or no. DO YOU STILL BELIEVE THE "TWO-STATE SOLUTION" IS THE GOAL OF ISRAELI POLICY?

But failed to take the critical single strategic point, the temple mount, and knocked down that dome.

As a Christian I recognize Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel. Israel should be returned to the borders of the era of King David & Solomon - the true Biblical borders of the land of the Kings of Israel.

I also recognize that the borders of Israel set by God are

Genesis 15:18-21 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

No person should divide the land or Jerusalem. Israelis should not support any "land for peace deal"... to take the land is what the Arabs want. Israel should take all of the land back, tear down the Dome of the Rock and the al-Asqa Mosque- and rebuild the Temple.

Israel - enough is enough. Do what the Lord your God has called you to do. Do not support this new agenda of talks hosted by President Bush and the USA.

Take back your land and your Temple Mount.
