Jerusalem Declared City of David Second Time in History
Nadene Goldfoot
On December 6, 2018, Jerusalem was again formally declared the city of David by the USA by recognizing Jerusalem as the city created by the House of David, Israel's 2nd King. Washington's President Donald Trump had taken the plunge and recognized this fought over ancient city as Israel's capital. The expectation was that there would be a hysterical panic of many watching countries who will threaten this decision.
Jews have been waiting for 26 centuries as biblical exiles who vowed by the rivers of Babylon when they were forced to march there by Nebuchadnezzar b: 605-d: 562 BCE who had attacked Jud
ah and taken away 8,000 of the aristocracy population as captives. and resettled them in Babylonian 597 BCE.
"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and also wept when we remembered Zion(Jerusalem). On the willows within it we hung our lyres. For there our captors requested words of song from us, with our lyres playing joyous music. "Sing for us from Zion's song!" How can we sing the song of HASHEM upon the alien's soil?" If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill. Let my tongue adhere to my palate. If I fail to recall you, if I fail to elevate Jerusalem above my foremost joy. Remember, HASHEM, for the offspring of Edom, the day of Jerusalem: for those who say, "DESTROY! DESTROY! TO ITS VERY FOUNDATION. "O VIOLATED DAUGHTER OF BABYLON, PRAISEWORTHY IS HE WHO REPAYS YOU IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANNER THAT YOU TREATED US. PRAISWORTHY IS HE WHO WILL CLUTCH AND DASH YOUR INFANTS AGAINST THE ROCK.
"One of the jobs of the Levites was to sing songs in the Temple. Travelers arriving in Jerusalem could hear their haunting and inspiring voices from miles away as they approached the Holy City. Their renown was far and wide – so much so that when they arrived as exiles in Babylon, the Babylonians ask them to, “Sing for us the songs of Zion.” Only they were being cruel about it. They were rubbing in the fact that they were captives no longer able to do so.
The chapter in Psalms does not tell us the fate of the Jews who gave that answer. One traditional source says that Nebuchadnezzar killed 80,000 Jews. His response to their refusal to sing was a massacre.
We were taught from this that no matter what the occasion of personal joy, the memory of Jerusalem must come first. From this verse stems the custom that a bridegroom places ashes on his head before the marriage ceremony and the custom that a glass is broken after the ceremony in memory of Jerusalem.
That's what heads of state did in those days to change people's cultures and religions. Then in 586 BCE they invaded Judah again, captured the whole city and destroyed their Holy Temple, laying waste other cities and exiling masses of the population. The king, Zedekiah, was a nominee of Nebuchadnezzar himself but even he had rebelled. For doing that, he was taken to Riblah where he was slain." It sounds to me like the Babylonians had treated infants like the Nazis did during the Holocaust by bashing the babies against rocks to kill them off, because this is mentioned in Psalms and the comment was that they were treated like this so they should be treated in the same way. It's the lesson of not treating others in a manner you wouldn't want to be treated-referred in later days by Hillel as THE GOLDEN RULE.
Persia overcame the Babylonian Empire, including Palestine. It was their King Cyrus who decided on an enlightened policy towards his subject peoples and in 538 BCE, granted permission to the exiles of Judah in Babylon to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple. For this the Jewish exiles regarded Cyrus as a Divine agent.
The reaction came from the United Nations who are never in tune with Israel. Within 10 days the 15 members of their Security Council were handed a draft resolution that denied the declarations legal consequences and told Washington to rescind its move. As if that weren't enough of their blowing a dissonance sound against Israel, the UN General Assembly's condemnation of this move had a vote of 128- 9 with 29 abstentions and 21 absentees. That means 50 in all were too frightened to join Trump in this declaration and hid behind this veil. They threw in that making any decisions were null and void and must be rescinded.
.
Trump could trump this with Nicki Haley, the UN Ambassador who vetoed the Egyptian- drafted resolution on December 18, 2018, and added that Washington saw in it "AN INSULT THAT WON'T BE FORGOTTEN!" Now the UN is not a police force. They can admonish but have no legal power.

| Netanyahu was not afraid of the consequences of this great moment. There were repercussions, but not as terrifying nor as monumental a decision it was to tell the world that this was Israel's capital, and it became ONE! No more a divided city. The Palestinian Arabs in the eastern section would be treated as the rest of the city. Jerusalem, a city bearing many names; Zion, City of David, City of Righteousness, the Faithful City, the City of G-d, The Holy City, City of Truth, Ariel...It has much to look up to. Trump continued to keep another promise and that was to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. The United States Embassy officially relocated to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Israeli Declaration of Independence. |

Remembering The Letter to the World From Jerusalem on Israel's 70th Birthday
Nadene Goldfoot
Today, this has more meaning than ever. Today Is Israel's 70th birthday.
And we will be damned if we will let you take it away. There was a Jerusalem before there was a New York. When Berlin, Moscow, London, and Paris were miasmal forest and swamp, there was a thriving Jewish community here. It gave something to the world which you nations have rejected ever since you established yourselves- a humane moral code.
Here the prophets walked, their words flashing like forked lightning.
Here a people who wanted nothing more than to be left alone, fought off waves of heathen would-be conquerors, bled and died on the battlements, hurled themselves into the flames of their burning Temple rather than surrender, and when finally overwhelmed by sheer numbers and led away into captivity, swore that before they forgot Jerusalem, they would see their tongues cleave to their palates, their right arms wither.
For two pain-filled millennia, while we were your unwelcome guests, we prayed daily to return to this city. Three times a day we petitioned the Almighty: "Gather us from the four corners of the world, bring us upright to our land, return in mercy to Jerusalem, Thy city, and swell in it as Thou promised." On every Yom Kippur and Passover, we fervently voiced the hope that next year would find us in Jerusalem.
We have been to Hell and back- a Hell of your making. What more could you possibly have in your arsenal that could scare us?
I have watched this city bombarded twice by nations calling themselves civilized. In 1948, while you looked on apathetically, I saw women and children blown to smithereens, after we agreed to your request to internationalize the city. It was a deadly combination that did the job- British officers, Arab gunners, and American-made cannon. And then the savage sacking of the Old City-the willful slaughter, the wanton destruction of every synagogue and religious school, the desecration of Jewish cemeteries, the sale by a ghoulish government of tombstones for building materials, for poultry runs, army camps, even latrines.
And you never said a word.
You never breathed the slightest protest when the Jordanians shut off the holiest of our places, the Western Wall, in violation of the pledges they had made after the war- a war they waged, incidentally, against the decision of the UN. Not a murmur came from you whenever the legionnaires in their spiked helmets casually opened fire upon our citizens from behind the walls.
Your hearts bled when Berlin came under siege. You rushed your airlift "to save the gallant Berliners". But you did not send one ounce of food when Jews starved in besieged Jerusalem. You thundered against the wall which the East Germans ran through the middle of the German capital- but not one peep out of you about that other wall, the one that tore through the heart of Jerusalem.
And when that same thing happened 20 years later, and the Arabs unleashed a savage, unprovoked bombardment of the Holy City again, did any of you do anything?
The only time you came to life was when the city was at last reunited. Then you wrung your hands and spoke loftily of "justice" and need for the "Christian" quality of turning the other cheek. The truth- and you know it deep inside your gut - you would prefer the city to be destroyed rather than have it governed by Jews. No matter how diplomatically you phrase it, the age old prejudices seep out of every word.
If our return to the city has tied your theology in knots, perhaps you had better reexamine your catechisms. After what we have been through, we are not passively going to accommodate ourselves to the twisted idea that we are to suffer eternal homelessness until we accept your savior.
For the first time since the year 70, there is now complete religious freedom for all in Jerusalem. For the first time since the Romans put a torch to the Temple, everyone has equal rights (You prefer to have some more equal than others.) We loathe the sword- but it was you who forced us to take it up. We crave peace, but we are not going back to the peace of 1948 as you would like us to.
We are home. It has a lovely sound for a nation you have willed to wander over the face of the globe. We are not leaving. We are redeeming the pledge made by our forefathers: Jerusalem is being rebuilt. "Next year" and the year after, and after, and after, until the end of time- "in Jerusalem"!

A Letter to the World from Jerusalem
by Eliezer ben Yisrael (Stanley Goldfoot)
by Eliezer ben Yisrael (Stanley Goldfoot)
I am not a creature from another planet, as you seem to believe. I am a Jerusalemite-like yourselves, a man of flesh and blood. I am a citizen of my city, an integral part of my people. I have a few things to get off my chest. Because I am not a diplomat, I do not have to mince words. I do not have to please you or even persuade you. I owe you nothing. You did not build this city, you did not live in it, you did not defend it when they came to destroy it.
And we will be damned if we will let you take it away. There was a Jerusalem before there was a New York. When Berlin, Moscow, London, and Paris were miasmal forest and swamp, there was a thriving Jewish community here. It gave something to the world which you nations have rejected ever since you established yourselves- a humane moral code.
Here the prophets walked, their words flashing like forked lightning.
Here a people who wanted nothing more than to be left alone, fought off waves of heathen would-be conquerors, bled and died on the battlements, hurled themselves into the flames of their burning Temple rather than surrender, and when finally overwhelmed by sheer numbers and led away into captivity, swore that before they forgot Jerusalem, they would see their tongues cleave to their palates, their right arms wither.
For two pain-filled millennia, while we were your unwelcome guests, we prayed daily to return to this city.

On every Yom Kippur and Passover, we fervently voiced the hope that next year would find us in Jerusalem.
Your inquisitions, pogroms, expulsions, the ghettos into which you jammed us, your forced baptisms, your quota systems, your genteel anti-Semitism, and the final unspeakable horror, the holocaust (and worse, your terrifying disinterest in it)- all these have not broken us. They may have sapped what little moral strength you still possessed, but they forged us into steel. Do you think that you can break us now after all we have been through? Do you really believe that after Dachau and Auschwitz we are frightened by your threats of blockades and sanctions?
We have been to Hell and back- a Hell of your making. What more could you possibly have in your arsenal that could scare us?
I have watched this city bombarded twice by nations calling themselves civilized.

Take Off Those Rose Colored Glasses and Look At Palestinian Terror
Nadene Goldfoot
The Hamas charter goals are to exterminate ALL Jews because that pleases Allah. Hamas TV broadcasted statements like this over the summer. One such Muslim religious leader who preaches this and has been for several years is Qaradawi from Qatar. One broadcast from Ismail Haniyeh said, "We love death like our enemies love life! We love Martyrdom, the way in which Hamas leaders died!"
Our motto is, "Don't treat others like we wouldn't want to be treated." It's our Golden Rule. Palestinians swear they love death while Israel is all about life. With our toast of "L'Chaim (To Life) ," we're not hiding the fact. Let a doctor tell us bad news and we'll scramble over to another who gives us a better hopeful outcome. It's hard to believe for us, but Hamas had a formula down for garnishing bad press for the Israelis. Their equation was that the more civilian casualties they managed to have on their side of Operation Defensive Edge, the more condemnations Israel received from their part of the world. This of course encouraged more people to lose their lives on purpose, including putting their own children in harm's way. Israel did everything and more to keep from harming civilians in Operation Defensive Edge. They went over the top, warning the civilians with everything imaginable, phone calls, leaflets, megaphones, in Arabic, only to be foiled by their own Palestinian leaders. Israel had 2 choices;
1. Lay down in their bomb shelters, take poison and die
2. Stop the people and their places of shelling Israel
All the while, General Martin Dempsey of the USA said that the Israeli army went to "extraordinary lengths to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties in its war against Hamas." Colonel Richard Kemp of Britain said, "The IDF has developed the most comprehensive and sophisticated measure to minimize civilian casualties during attacks against legitimate military targets. No army in the world acts with as much discretion and great care as the IDF in order to minimize damage. The US and the UK are careful, but not as much as Israel."
Then, on top of all this, I see the USA and the other 4 leaders of the world pushing and pushing Israel, never the PA, into a situation of having the ancient state of Judah be turned into a Palestine which would be quickly taken over by Hamas now that Fatah and Hamas have united. Israel had regained Judah, by the way, at the outcome of the 6 Day War. Israel won against an onslaught of all the Arab nations. It was a horrible war with many deaths on both sides. The only good thing was that Israel survived and gained their own land back that the Arabs had stolen in 1948 when they attacked at the mention of Israel's birth.
The Big Five leaders even seem to be backing that Palestine can claim all of east Jerusalem-paving the way for their plan of taking over all of the Jewish city. Arabs refuse to recognize Israel after its 66 years of existence as well as their refusal of recognizing the Jewish ancient history of belonging in the Middle East in the first place that is recorded right in the Bible. I've even heard tell that they are bragging that Jerusalem is their city simply because, according to their Islamic story, Mohammad went to heaven from Jerusalem. It doesn't matter to them that Jerusalem is never mentioned once in the Koran.
That isn't stopping European nations from jumping on the bandwagon to outdo each other in being among the first to now recognize a Palestine.
The UN's World Health Organization condemned Israel for "targeting civilian populations." It blames Israel for all civilian casualties in Gaza and ignore the facts like the deaths in a Gaza City refugee camp were caused by misfired Hamas rockets and mortar shells aimed at Israel which killed 9 children in the camp.
Take a look at the UN Security Council. The UNSC president spoke for the entire council in condemning Israel in Gaza and the loss of civilian lives. They ignore why Israel had to go into Gaza in the first place, and that was because: after being shot at since 2001 with mortars, missiles and rockets which were coming down every day, the missiles became the type of a much longer range and were hitting the whole state of Israel. Israel was spending all the time in shelters and nothing was stopping the terrorists; certainly not those providing funds or the UN. There was only one thing left to do since talk wasn't stopping the attacks. After much warnings, Israel marched in. Their goal was to take out the sites where the strikes were coming from; not the people. The missile launches had been placed among the people on purpose; not something normal people would do.
The UN has also requested an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza because of their "critical humanitarian needs." Hamas used "human shields, residential areas as cover and its deliberate targeting of Israeli civilians before the Operation. All this is of course, ignored by the UN.
The Arab terrorists also have the Human Rights Watch on their side. This so-called humanitarian NGO argued in the article, "Unlawful Israeli Air strikes Kill Civilians," that Israel struck against non-military Hamas infrastructure which is a war crime. They're saying that Hamas is a political group and do not have a military role and so are not terrorists, thus not valid military targets. This stamp of Hamas being terrorists comes from the USA and the EU! Give us a break. Hamas is a terrorist organization, not merely its military wing. Fatah was originally the PLO, led by Arafat, terrorists. Look what happened in Gaza. Hamas kicked out Fatah completely with muscle!
People supporting Hamas terrorism and Palestine are:
1. President Heinz Fischer of Austria: "Israeli military acts in such a manner that the number of civilian deaths is significantly if not extremely disproportionate." He also ignored and said nothing about Hamas using human shields or shooting from residential areas, or tunnels used to help terrorists attack Israelis with the goal of killing Israeli citizens.
2. Jimmy Carter; former USA President; open supporter of Hamas's interests, stated that the way to solve the conflict is that Israel should lift the blockade of Gaza and Israel should recognize Hamas as a legitimate partner in a Hamas-Fatah unity government. He's backed the Palestinian Arabs all along, no matter what; wrote several books in support.
3. Mary Robinson, former UN human rights high commissioner and president of Ireland, in agreement with Carter; open supporter of Hamas's interests, stated that the way to solve the conflict is that Israel should lift the blockade of Gaza and Israel should recognize Hamas as a legitimate partner in a Hamas-Fatah unity government. By the Gazans encouraging and helping to cause their own civilian deaths has now given bonus points in the UN and most of the Western world. In essence, apologizing for Hamas. She gives them a good image, making it pay to be crazy. I tell you what, Mary. You take them as your neighbors.
In 2012, the UN gave Palestine a non-member observer State status. Now, Sweden and France have granted them recognition. Why am I not surprised with these 2 states. Most all of the Western states support a 2 state solution, as long as they don't have them as their neighbors.
None of the western states have had the experience of Israel being attacked by Arabs the moment of their recognition. Israel has returned to their origins just like Jacob/Israel did and had to face his twin, Esau. Jacob/Israel brought tribute with him for Esau, 200 she-goats and 20 he goats; 200 ewes and 20 rams, 30 nursing camels with colts, 40 cows and 10 bulls, 20 she-donkeys and 10 he-donkeys and with this was met by Esau with 400 men. That meeting actually turned out well. But when the Jews had the okay of Emir Feisal for the Jewish Homeland, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem started riots and a backlash against the Jews that hasn't stopped since WWI. The Arabs all say they will never ever recognize Israel. There never has been another Emir Feisal come along who was as worldly with his intelligence, either. The problem is that the Palestinians are sheep led by a terrible shepherd. The rest of the world are also sheep, following right along their same path.

Arabs refuse to recognize Israel after its 66 years of existence as well as their refusal of recognizing the Jewish ancient history of belonging in the Middle East in the first place that is recorded right in the Bible. I've even heard tell that they are bragging that Jerusalem is their city simply because, according to their Islamic story, Mohammad went to heaven from Jerusalem. It doesn't matter to them that Jerusalem is never mentioned once in the Koran.
That isn't stopping European nations from jumping on the bandwagon to outdo each other in being among the first to now recognize a Palestine.
The UN's World Health Organization condemned Israel for "targeting civilian populations." It blames Israel for all civilian casualties in Gaza and ignore the facts like the deaths in a Gaza City refugee camp were caused by misfired Hamas rockets and mortar shells aimed at Israel which killed 9 children in the camp.
Take a look at the UN Security Council. The UNSC president spoke for the entire council in condemning Israel in Gaza and the loss of civilian lives. They ignore why Israel had to go into Gaza in the first place, and that was because: after being shot at since 2001 with mortars, missiles and rockets which were coming down every day, the missiles became the type of a much longer range and were hitting the whole state of Israel. Israel was spending all the time in shelters and nothing was stopping the terrorists; certainly not those providing funds or the UN. There was only one thing left to do since talk wasn't stopping the attacks. After much warnings, Israel marched in. Their goal was to take out the sites where the strikes were coming from; not the people. The missile launches had been placed among the people on purpose; not something normal people would do.
The UN has also requested an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza because of their "critical humanitarian needs." Hamas used "human shields, residential areas as cover and its deliberate targeting of Israeli civilians before the Operation. All this is of course, ignored by the UN.

The Arab terrorists also have the Human Rights Watch on their side. This so-called humanitarian NGO argued in the article, "Unlawful Israeli Air strikes Kill Civilians," that Israel struck against non-military Hamas infrastructure which is a war crime. They're saying that Hamas is a political group and do not have a military role and so are not terrorists, thus not valid military targets. This stamp of Hamas being terrorists comes from the USA and the EU! Give us a break. Hamas is a terrorist organization, not merely its military wing. Fatah was originally the PLO, led by Arafat, terrorists. Look what happened in Gaza. Hamas kicked out Fatah completely with muscle!
1. President Heinz Fischer of Austria: "Israeli military acts in such a manner that the number of civilian deaths is significantly if not extremely disproportionate." He also ignored and said nothing about Hamas using human shields or shooting from residential areas, or tunnels used to help terrorists attack Israelis with the goal of killing Israeli citizens.
2. Jimmy Carter; former USA President; open supporter of Hamas's interests, stated that the way to solve the conflict is that Israel should lift the blockade of Gaza and Israel should recognize Hamas as a legitimate partner in a Hamas-Fatah unity government. He's backed the Palestinian Arabs all along, no matter what; wrote several books in support.
3. Mary Robinson, former UN human rights high commissioner and president of Ireland, in agreement with Carter; open supporter of Hamas's interests, stated that the way to solve the conflict is that Israel should lift the blockade of Gaza and Israel should recognize Hamas as a legitimate partner in a Hamas-Fatah unity government. By the Gazans encouraging and helping to cause their own civilian deaths has now given bonus points in the UN and most of the Western world. In essence, apologizing for Hamas. She gives them a good image, making it pay to be crazy. I tell you what, Mary. You take them as your neighbors.
In 2012, the UN gave Palestine a non-member observer State status. Now, Sweden and France have granted them recognition. Why am I not surprised with these 2 states. Most all of the Western states support a 2 state solution, as long as they don't have them as their neighbors.
None of the western states have had the experience of Israel being attacked by Arabs the moment of their recognition. Israel has returned to their origins just like Jacob/Israel did and had to face his twin, Esau. Jacob/Israel brought tribute with him for Esau, 200 she-goats and 20 he goats; 200 ewes and 20 rams, 30 nursing camels with colts, 40 cows and 10 bulls, 20 she-donkeys and 10 he-donkeys and with this was met by Esau with 400 men. That meeting actually turned out well. But when the Jews had the okay of Emir Feisal for the Jewish Homeland, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem started riots and a backlash against the Jews that hasn't stopped since WWI. The Arabs all say they will never ever recognize Israel. There never has been another Emir Feisal come along who was as worldly with his intelligence, either. The problem is that the Palestinians are sheep led by a terrible shepherd. The rest of the world are also sheep, following right along their same path.
