Excerpt:
Throughout history, non-Jewish leaders have locked Jewish communities into ghettos in an attempt to limit natural growth through hardship and disease. Just seventy-five years ago, Hitler rounded up Jews, ghettoized them, and finally murdered six million of them in Europe in an attempt to destroy the entire people. Just a few days after the eight-day Passover holiday, the Jewish people will remember the Holocaust on Yom Ha-Shoah, a day when all Israeli citizens stand silent in memory of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Throughout the world, Jewish communities gather to remember, recite the names of those murdered, and light candles in memory of those whose names we still do not know.
Jews are particularly sensitive to attempts to limit their "natural growth" and the area in which they can live. President Obama continues to hit that nerve -- whether it is intentional or not.
Moreover, there is the issue of Jerusalem. For over 3,000 years, Jerusalem has been both the political and spiritual capital of the Jewish people. There has never been another. Despite their understanding this, the Palestinians have engaged in a concerted effort to undermine the world's recognition of the Jewish tie to Jerusalem, calling it a lie and stating that the Jewish Temples actually were in Yemen. Just to be clear, this insidious rhetoric seeks to undermine the basis of not only Judaism, but also Christianity. If there was no Jewish Temple in Jerusalem (even though there is ample archeological evidence), then where did Jesus walk? Where did he overturn the moneylenders' tables? Where did he confront the Sadduces and Pharisees? Where was the Last Supper? Christians will soon celebrate Easter -- the holiest day of the year -- but if there was no Temple in Jerusalem, then where did the Holy Week's events take place?
By trying to limit Jewish residency in Jerusalem, President Obama plays into this de-Judification of Jerusalem and poses a threat to both Judaism and Christianity...
This year, as Jews sit down to their Passover Seders, the Jewish people's sense of security could once again be at risk -- this time by the government of the United States. It's up to the Obama administration to ensure that this doesn't happen by turning its attention away from limiting the Jewish people's "natural growth." Let the Obama administration focus instead on Iran, which is threatening the existence of the Jewish State and seeking the weapons to fulfill this mission -- which will include the murder of another six million Jews who live in Israel.
