Trump Presents Plan, PA Contests, Israel Stands Firm

The Trump “Deal of the Century” has been presented, in part, and the Palestinian Authority has gone all out to condemn it – for the Arabs don’t want to come to any arrangement with Israel. A top Fatah official explained the PA’s refusal to participate in the Bahrain conference by calling it “the great plot that is being woven against our people… Palestine is not for sale and Jerusalem is not up for negotiation.”
The Jewish People have known and internalized for over 3,000 years that Jerusalem is the crux of the matter – and the Arabs wake up to this fact every few centuries as well, but only when they deem it politically necessary.
Regarding supposed “undying, historic” Muslim links to Jerusalem, we must remember that the awakening of supposed Muslim religious ties to Jerusalem means only that Islam wants to conquer Jerusalem for political, nationalistic, or military reasons. Muhammad was the first to enact this policy.
Israel’s Minister of Public Security signed an order Friday to prevent the PA from holding a conference entitled “Jerusalem the Capital of Palestine” in the Old City.
The Jewish People must not remain nonchalant or passive in this war; Aliyah to Jerusalem must continue and increase, and Israel must assert its sovereignty throughout United Jerusalem.
