In December, 2017 while on a cruise to New Zealand/Australia, an English gentleman, Ken from Liverpool, started praising President Donald Trump while we were all sitting around our dinner table. Ken was very religious and started quoting certain parts of the Bible while talking about Trump’s decision to move the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Keep in mind that Ken is not a Republican . . . he is not even an American.
Admittedly I am very very far from a being a biblical scholar, but this is what Ken said, “According to the Bible, Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel since King David made it that way. The Bible calls it the apple of God’s eye and promised to Abraham that everyone who blesses the Jews (His descendants) will be blessed. God will bless America because of the actions of Donald Trump.” He went on to cite 1Corinthians, 1/27-30, Ezekiel, chapters 36-39, and Zachariah, chapter 12 to bolster his position.
At that point I knew little about Jerusalem, the U.S embassy, and Trump’s position. The following is from Wikipedia:
The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995[1] is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on October 23, 1995. The proposed law was adopted by the Senate (93–5),[2] and the House (374–37).[3] The Act became law without a presidential signature on November 8, 1995.
Despite passage, the law allowed the President to invoke a six-month waiver of the application of the law, and reissue the waiver every six months on “national security” grounds. The waiver was repeatedly invoked by Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama.[5]President Donald Trump signed a waiver in June 2017. On June 5, 2017, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of reunification of Jerusalem by 90-0. The resolution reaffirmed the Jerusalem Embassy Act and called upon the President and all United States officials to abide by its provisions.[6] On December 6, 2017, Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,[7] and ordered the planning of the relocation of the embassy.[8][9]
So finally on 5/14/18 the U.S. Embassy was officially relocated to Jerusalem – 70 years after President Truman (D) recognized Israel, just 11 minutes after it declared its independence in 1948. This was a day of celebrating in Israel, and in the U.S. it should have been a day of co-celebration with our longstanding ally, Israel. To commemorate the occasion five U.S.senators and ten members of the House of Representatives were on hand in Jerusalem. One of the senators, Joe Lieberman (I-C), said “this is a pro-U.S.-Israel partnership, alliance rally.” I would surmise that the 14 Republican members of the U.S. Congress that were actually in Jerusalem probably agreed with Senator Lieberman, who, as I am sure that you recall, had been a Democrat Vice Presidential candidate in the past.
Amazingly, the Democrats in both the House and in the Senate did not rise to the occasion, as no Democratic congressman/woman chose to appear in Jerusalem for this historic event. Does this boycott by those in Congress demonstrate the true feelings that the Democrats in office have towards Israel!
Disgusting, Embarrassing, Mortifying, Shameful!
Hopefully, Jewish Americans, who typically vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, will be paying attention to this slap in the face of Israel.
