(Intermountain Jewish News) Editorial - What were they thinking? It's perfectly clear. Israel was thinking that Jerusalem is not up for negotiation. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. There is no building freeze in Jerusalem. Get used to it. As Benny Begin put it, had the announcement been made two weeks in advance of Biden's visit, Israel would have been accused of undermining it. Had the announcement been made two weeks after Biden's visit, Israel would have been accused of deceiving him. The fact is, there is never a good time to announce something that either the Palestinians or the U.S. will not like. Apparently, they will never like Israel's assertion of sovereignty over Jerusalem. No Israeli government, on either the right or the left, is willing to deny 3,000 years of Jewish history, hundreds of mentions of Jerusalem in the Hebrew Bible, as over against zero mentions in the Koran. That's what they were thinking. 2010-03-16 09:26:13Full Article
