Hi, this is Don Kedah with another Israel Report and today I'm reporting from the heart
of Israel, the city of the great king, the city of Jerusalem where the Messiah will
sit and reign one day and there will actually be justice reigning from this very place and
that's exciting.
So this right here is the very heart of all of that, right behind me is the city of David,
it's the city of the great king.
There's also the place of the Temple Mount where it will be a house of peripheral nations.
So this really, this is Jerusalem, this is the heartland, this is also what's considered
by the international community is what's called East Jerusalem or part of the West Bank.
Now let me explain because this is very important to understand.
What's behind me is actually biblical Jerusalem.
When they call East Jerusalem in the international community, in the media, what they're talking
about, what they're reporting about is actually what's right behind me.
And so for Israel to give up East Jerusalem or the so-called West Bank, they're going
to have to give up, yes, the biblical heartland.
Not just that, they're going to have to give up if they give up all the West Bank and create
a sovereign state, which is what was suggested by the ambassador of the United States of
Israel, Daniel Shapiro.
Just the other day he addressed a group of Israelis and politicians and declared that
the US policy to fight BDS is, yes, to create a Palestinian state.
Now that's just a slap in the face and I'll tell you why.
Because what they're saying in essence is, well, just you Jews give up your only claim
to this land, which is Judea, Samaria, it's Jerusalem, all the biblical, significant biblical
areas of the Bible and that is significant to the Jewish people, just give all that up.
This included in that package that the United States is suggesting to Israel to just give
up and to give to a Palestinian state for these people to have a state and for us to
give up more claims to our Jewish heritage.
And our only claim really to this whole region is the biblical heartland.
Now let me explain what that means.
What that means is that we give up Shchem, which is where Joseph is buried, to give up
Hebron, which is the cave of the patriarchs, it's the cave where Adam and Eve are buried,
where the forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and so on and so forth are all buried, to
give up the Temple Mount, which is the place of where the first, second temples stood.
These are the most historic places in the Jewish history and that's what the world is
asking us to give up.
So in essence, it's a literal slap in the face.
It's another compromise for Israel.
We've already compromised and given up and allowed to be given away back already in the
1920s before Israel became a state, which was agreed by the League of Nations, both
Jordan and all the land of Israel, which should be all the land of Israel.
That would have been the modern state of Israel.
Today, it's been partitioned when Great Britain, say they made a compromise and they sliced
away the modern state of Jordan east of the Jordan River and said, well, you can have
this since there aren't enough Jews living here right now.
And yes, we promised the Jews a statehood in this area, but if you're going to help
us in the war effort, you can have the modern state of Jordan.
And in fact, that today is the Palestinian state.
So when the world is saying, give the Palestinians a state, I just find that extremely ironic
and stupid and ignorant of history because the Palestinians already have a state.
It's Jordan.
Jordan is ruled by a Hashemite king who is the minority, but it is over 80% Palestinian.
So really what the world needs to focus on is resolving the Palestinian state in Jordan
and how to join the state of Jordan with the Palestinians living in Israel.
That's a simple solution, not creating and dividing and cutting off our arm, if you will,
cutting out our heart, if you will, and saying, this is the way you can compromise and create
peace in the Middle East.
What they're doing really is they're trying to erase the Jewish heritage in this area.
And that's unfortunate and that's really the bottom line of all of what is happening right
now with all these peace talks and insane solutions that are being proposed.
Everything but Jews to rule in their Jewish homeland.
And I'm telling you that what you hear in the media and what you hear by all these NGOs
is a bunch of nonsense.
The facts on the ground is simple.
We need to declare our sovereignty over Judea Samaria, West Bank, and East Jerusalem, biblical
Jerusalem, which is right behind me, which includes the Temple Mount, yes, we need to
have full sovereignty and exercise full sovereignty over these areas as the Jewish state of Israel.
And in my opinion, we need to ignore the international community.
We need to ignore the United States at this time until they have a leadership that has
a little bit more understanding of this region and the realities on the ground and quit making
suggestions that are simply just outlandish and ridiculous.
So this is Don Kidal reporting to you from the land of Israel.
I hope this was informative and made a little bit more sense to you as we discussed this
issue today.
God bless you from the land of Israel.
Shalom.
Shalom. Goodbye.
