This is not a battle of Jews and anti-semites that want Israel removed from the face of the planet.
Did you know that when Israel was created in 1948 that those that occupied the land were not only Arab Muslims but also Jews and Christians? Those that occupied that land including Jews and Christians were forcabily removed. hundreds of thousands were killed as they were considered weeds on a lawn.
The native Jews as well as Christians and Muslims all recognize Jerusalem as sacred and holy ground. These groups are protesting because they are losing their equal rights to the city and rightfully so,
Why is it we criticize and distrust our own Government but give the Israeli government a free pass?
We confuse politics with heritage and religion. People were considered racist when they criticized Obama when it wasn't his race they didn't like it was his politics.
Now if anyone criticizes or asks questions about the Israeli government they are considered anti-semetic. So are the Jews that criticize the Israeli government anti-semetic?
I see many using the wrong analogy saying "well its like other countries telling us New York should be our capital not Washington DC." Well New York or any other city in America does not have the historical or holiness of Jerusalem.
Before everyone goes jumping on the band wagon on Trump's move to honor Bill Clinton's signed bill in 1995, more research should be given to study what is actually going on in the middle east.
As of right now I am agreeing with my Pope, Francis, that this is a wrong move and that we should leave Jerusalem as is till a peace deal is brokered.
