Christian Zionists seem to know, more than most other people, that Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish State. I am sure that American Christian supporters of the Jewish State are outraged that the US ambassador to Israel, Richard Jones, will not participate in tomorrow's Jerusalem Day ceremony at the Knesset.

I would also assume that most Americans must be quite frustrated at the fact that even though the American legislature passed a law authorizing the moving of the American Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and nearly every President has pledged to fulfill this law, to this date no progress has been made in fulfilling it.

No country in the world has the right to dictate to any legitimate nation where its capital should or shouldn't be. The PLO is not a nation. It has no legitimate claim on any part of the Land of Israel. Anyone who has read the Bible knows that Jerusalem has always been the capital of the Jewish nation. No other nation has ever held sovereignty over this nation or this city. How dare any world leader, especially the President of the United States, refuse to recognize the only city in the world whose identity can never be denied as being the legitimate capital of the Jewish State?

Notwithstanding all of the feeble politicians in Israel who seek to curry favor with the USA and thus seek to negotiate our only homeland with those who seek to destroy us, I can assure the American leadership that their "road map" is going nowhere. If you cant even find the capital of our country on your road map then you had better throw it away and find a new one. In spite of the great wealth of Saudi Arabia and its financial strangle hold over the USA no amount of appeasement of the Arab oil cartel will save the USA from destroying itself.

Today all nations are being judged by our Creator by how they relate to His People in His Land. In spite of our feeble and foolish leaders, our nation is under the protection of our Creator and simply cannot be destroyed even by the most powerful nations in the world. We suffer from terror in this country only because our leaders refuse to recognize their obligations as Jews. We have no right to negotiate one grain of sand on the Gaza beach. It is our obligation to develop and build all of our homeland and to inhabit it with our people.

G-d has performed great miracles to enable us to do this, and we have denied those miracles and sought to undo them. It is for this reason alone that we suffer today. We can end terror completely were we to simply obey the Law of G-d and stop trying to be like all of the nations of the world.

As an Israeli I couldn't care less if Richard Jones refuses to attend our ceremonies. But as an American I am outraged that the leadership of the USA would place that nation in danger by snubbing the nation of G-d. This too will bring Divine Wrath upon America. If the American People want to continue to have a country in which they can be proud to be Americans, they must find a leadership which will return that country to the respect for our Creator that its founding fathers once had.
