For 2000 years, 3 times a day without fail, we looked towards Jerusalem and prayed for its rebuilding. We observe 4 fasts anually over the destruction of Jerusalem, culminating in the fast of the 9th of Av, the most tragic day i nthe Jewish calendar, when both Temples were destroyed. At the end of every Yom Kippur fast and Passover seder, we declare: "Next Year in Jerusalem!"<BR/><BR/>Jerusalem is mentioned 700 times in the Hebrew Bible. It is never mentioned in the Qur'an. Muslims pray towards Mecca, with their backs to Jerusalem. Jerusalem was never the capital of any Muslim nation. The only times Jerusalem was a capital was when Jews ruled Israel: during the Davidic kingdom, the Hasmonean dynasty and in the modern state of Israel.<BR/><BR/>The "Palestinians" are an artificial entity. There was no "Palestinian" nation before 1967.<BR/><BR/>PLO Executive Zahir Muhsein said: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."<BR/><BR/>Never has Jerusalem been the capital of an Arab country. Under the Ottomans, it was a backwater little provincial town.<BR/><BR/>If one doesn't believe that G-d returned His people to His land, they are indeed blind. Never before in history has a 3500 year old nation, exiled for 2000 years, survived persecution and oppression, Crusade, Inquisition and Holocaust, to be reborn in its homeland. Tiny Israel, with a population of barely 600 000, some survivors fresh out of Auschwitz, in 1948 defeated an army of over a million Arab troops committed to wiping out the fledgling state. The miracles of Israel rebirth are too numerous to mention, such as the Ingathering of the Exiles, or the fact that the Jews made the deserts of Eretz Yisrael bloom.<BR/><BR/>Mecca is the Muslim holy city- Jerusalem is ours. And we will not give it up.<BR/><BR/>G-d has returned Jerusalem to us after 2000 years of longing, mourning, hoping and praying. Never will we be distanced from her again.Avihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156322358503174356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939497644811784501.post-23342863912341982022009-01-20T16:06:00.000+02:002009-01-20T16:06:00.000+02:00I've been wondering where you've been.

I will try to take a couple pix of the dress I made and post it soon, but I wouldn't count on me actually writing much for a while.alajnabiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151422748406582102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939497644811784501.post-81405086838763300342008-10-12T07:33:00.000+02:002008-10-12T07:33:00.000+02:00Salam, Sister.
