Sharon Advances Jews Connection to the Land
In what some may consider a turn around, PM Ariel Sharon stated at the UN today that Jews have a historic connection to the land and that Jerusalem is the unified and eternal capital of Israel.
He also said while speaking that we did not wish to rule over the Palestinians, that they deserved to live in a free society, that the PA leaders need to step-up now and that the PA was entirely in control of Gaza.
All of this having been said, I would like to believe him, but this is the same man who over the better part of the last 38 years encouraged people to move to the Yesha communities, and then removed the Gaza and Northern Samaria communities, so I am not sure whether he can be believed. I do believe what he is saying, that we do have a historic connection to the land, and that Jerusalem should be our unified and eternal capital. No other existing people have the historic and religious connection to the city.
