The message of the Jerusalem embassy
7 Don Surber by Don Surber

For the opening ceremony of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, President Trump sent his son-in-law and a message to the world: I personally guarantee the security of Israel. Jared Kushner is the father of three of Trump's grandchildren.

Kushner did not shy away from the religious impact. He pointed out that while Jerusalem is, always has been, and always will be the capital of Israel, and that the city and its religious shrines are open to all people.

"We believe, it is possible for both sides to gain more than they give -- so that all people can live in peace -- safe from danger, free from fear, and able to pursue their dreams. Jerusalem must remain a city that brings people of all faiths together," he said.

Trump drew praise from Kushner.

"While presidents before him have backed down from their pledge to move the American Embassy once they were in office, this President delivered. Because when President Trump makes a promise, he keeps it," he said.

In having him head the delegation, Trump also reassured Arab nations that his son-in-law represents him in peacemaking efforts. Kushner and his wife are highly regarded in Saudi Arabia, which is a key to peace in the Middle East.

Far from infuriating the Arab nations, this move is welcomed. Remember, Iran is not an Arab nation.

But Old Europe is sputtering about the move. I think the Marxists who run Britain, France, and Germany want to become Muslim nations, and believe they must embrace anti-Semitism to prove their faith. Then again, Marxists have a long history of hating Jewish people.

Nadav Shragai of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs explained a week ago the importance of moving the embassy:

The United States has hammered another nail into the “coffin” of the 1947 UN Partition Resolution that called for the internationalization of Jerusalem.The Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, the Philippines, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, and various other countries are considering to follow in the footsteps of the United States.The Christian evangelical sector of American voters was what finally clinched Trump’s resolve to transfer the embassy from Tel Aviv and recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.The “price” Israel will pay appears to be continued restraint in construction and an occasional building freeze in Jerusalem.The embassy will open in west Jerusalem, with an “overflow” to the 1967 seam-line, which used to be no-mans The United States is effectively saying that there will be no future negotiations over west Jerusalem, but this is not the case with regard to the east.Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan will not be rushing to demonstrate against this move. The Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and Turkey, however, will attempt to provoke protests.The most likely potential for conflagration is on the Temple Mount. Israeli security forces will attempt to prevent any outbreaks of violence.
The last two items have come to pass. The Arabs likely applaud the move.

Republican Senators Ted Cruz, Dean Heller, Lindsey Graham, and Mike Lee, as well as 10 Republican congressmen, attended the ceremony.

Not a single Democrat showed. Joe Lieberman, who was kicked out of the party when he sought re-election, was there.

The message to Jews and evangelical Christians from Democrats is clear: we do not want your votes.

Evangelicals view Jerusalem and Israel -- the Holy Land -- as an integral part of Christianity.
