Original Post from JCPA: The latest confrontation over the Mercy Gate (Golden Gate, or in Hebrew, Shaar HaRachamim), which has been disputed in the past, reflects a new pact between the opponents of Trump’s “Deal of the Century” consisting of the Palestinian Authority, Turkey, and Jordan, which is concerned about its future status on the Temple Mount. The focus of new tensions on the Temple Mount – the Mercy Gate or Golden Gate compound – has not been chosen by chance by the Waqf council (in its new, broader, extreme composition) as the arena for provocation against Israel at the

A ceramic cooking pot from the 1st century CE containing 15 large gold coins was found under the floor of a cave. Dr. Oded Lipschits described the find: “We discovered the hoard with a metal detector, and then we went down into the niche and found this small cooking pot inside it.” According to Lipschits, the pot

Another great Jewish hero, Dr. Mordechai Keidar. Via Jerusalem Day on Al-Jazeera TV: On Jerusalem Day last week, following reports of Israel’s intentions to construct housing in areas of Jerusalem located beyond the 1967 borders, Al-Jazeera interviewed Dr. Mordechai Keidar, a lecturer from Bar-Ilan University’s Department of Arabic Studies. Al-Jazeera’s top journalist Jamal Rayyan opened with the question, “Is this decision meant to constitute another nail in the coffin of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations?” Keidar answered, “To tell you the truth, I don’t quite understand this. Must Israel ask permission from some other authority in the world? It has been our

This is yet another example of how Muslims dictate public policy by throwing public temper tantrums and rewriting history. Rafiq Al Husseini is just another Islamic poster child in its most recognizable form: a screaming banshee who delights in threatening racism,

From Israel’s Historic Achievement: To think of Israel as 60 years old may be wrong when its enemies seek to portray it as an alien usurper. In fact, the Jews have lived in the Land of Israel for over 3,300 years, since 1312 BCE. They had lived there at least 1,800 years before the Arab conquest of 635 CE, which lasted only 22 years. Jerusalem was the Jewish capital for over 3,300 years and never was the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. King David founded Jerusalem; Muhammad never set foot in it. Jews pray facing Jerusalem, and Muslims

The United States, which has been mediating negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, has proposed a plan to divide Jerusalem, according to WND. The plan, divided into separate phases, among other things calls for Israel eventually to forfeit parts of the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site. According to the first stage of the U.S. plan, which was obtained by WND, Israel would give the PA some municipal and security sovereignty over key Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem. The PA would be allowed to open some official institutions in Jerusalem, could elect

How sad to watch my beloved Israel and my fellow Jews eat the crumbs that fall from the Bush, Rice, Olmert, and the Muslim Terror table. They seem to have forgotten that Jews were writing the books that shaped all nations while centuries later, Islamic hordes were still smearing themselves with feces, pillaging towns, and raping women. Indeed, two Jerusalem organizations have sent a letter to Prime Minister Olmert, reminding him that discussions with

Sponsored by Aish.com: On this date in 1947, the Arab Legion surrounded Jerusalem and isolated its 100,000 Jews from the rest of the Israeli population. By March 1948 the city was under full siege, and in May, Jordan invaded and occupied east Jerusalem, dividing the city for the first time in its history, and driving thousands of Jews into exile. The Arabs proceeded to destroy all 58 synagogues in the Jewish Quarter, and used Jewish gravestones on the Mount of Olives to build roads and latrines. The Western Wall would be off-limits to Jews (in spite of the cease-fire agreement
