With Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert making it clear he is willing to divide Jerusalem, some things bear reminding.
Thanks to One Jerusalem, who also have set up an online petition for a unified Jerusalem.
- I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, to ensure free and open access for all people to the holy sites of the three major religions – Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
- I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, as an expression of the unique relationship between the Jewish People and its eternal capital.
- I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, so as never to return to the dark period of 1947-67, when Arab control over an artificially divided Jerusalem meant religious persecution, desecration of holy sites, and wanton destruction.
- I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, according to the current municipal boundaries, set in the wake of Israel’s defensive 1967 Six Day War.
- I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, where Jews enjoy the right to pray on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the Jewish world.
