Quote of the Day

"Amazingly, our president, who does not like to “meddle” in the affairs of other nations, has no problem telling Israel that there are too many Jews in Jerusalem. The great irony, of course, is that America’s first biracial president is telling Israel that there are some Jerusalem neighborhoods in which Jews should not be allowed to live.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Netanyahu fired back. Calling Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem “indisputable,” the prime minister said, “We cannot accept the fact that Jews wouldn’t be entitled to live and buy anywhere in Jerusalem. I can only imagine what would happen if someone suggested Jews could not live in certain neighborhoods in New York, London, Paris or Rome. There would certainly be a major international outcry.”"
