Jerusalem construction

Submitted by Harry Pomeranz (United States), Mar 17, 2010 at 16:05

The spat over Jerusalem construction reminds me of the scene in 'Casablanca'. Netanyahu says 'We are building in Jerusalem, our capital city' and Obama says 'I am shocked, I am shocked'

This should serve as a message to the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world, that all of Jerusalem is an Israeli city. The US may seem to be shocked and appalled by this realization but nonetheless accepts the finallity of this. Muslims need to wake up to the reality too.

Islam has hundreds of holy cities throughout the world but will deny Jews claim to their only holy city.

Is not the world sick and tired of cry baby Muslims who go on killing sprees when their butcher prophet is insulted and their 'holy' sites are disrespected but will not grant any consideration to Jewish or Christian places?
