Today is Jerusalem Day, marking the 40th anniversary of the reunification of this great, ancient city. Under Israeli control, Muslims are allowed free access to the Temple Mount. Under Arab control, Jews were not afforded the same courtesy. Despite all the hysterical Palestinian claims to Israel, Jews have historically sound ties to the Holy Land. Even now, Muslims continue their “excavations” on the Temple Mount, destroying Jewish artifacts, or dumping archeological evidence in a trash heap. In fact, Palestinians are fleeing the West Bank for Israeli Jerusalem to avoid their own people’s societal and economic chaos (civil war). Please join me in celebrating a united, Israeli Jerusalem by watching this excellent short video from Aish.com:
