Speaking to the thousands who attended One Jerusalem's Chanukah celebration in Jerusalem, Labor Party MK Yoram Marziano concluded his powerful remarks by declaring:"Jerusalem will remain united for ever and ever."
Listen to this brief and important speech by Marziano. He is an example of the broad based support a united Jerusalem has in the State of Israel.
Marziano chastises Israel's leaders for talking about dividing Jerusalem because it weakens Israel's overall negotiating position. And as a proud Jew, he says, he does not want "any other flag flying over Jerusalem."
Marziano is also a proud member of the Leftist Labor Party but he says the Party's founder David Ben-Gurion "would not believe that a government of Israel would negotiate the future of Jerusalem." He believes that Ben-Gurion would think those Jews who would discuss Jerusalem as being crazy.
He also reminds the world that Labor Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, who was willing to make concessions with Israel's enemies declared that Jerusalem is off the negotiating table. Jerusalem most always remain the undivided capital of the State of Israel.
Listen to this impassioned speech (with English translation) and you will see that One Jerusalem's objective of giving supporters of a united Jerusalem a platform to be heard is being realized.
You can help by signing and circulating our petition and giving even a modest donation to help our joint cause. There is much more to be done in Israel and abroad.
You may have heard another member of the Olmert government declare that to save a portion of Jerusalem we must give up large sections of Jerusalem. As we have demonstrated in maps and testimony giving up an inch of Jerusalem will allow terrorists to endanger every inch of Jerusalem.
