The Politics of Jerusalem

An EU document stressing that East Jerusalem should be the capital of a future Palestinian state brought a sharp response today from Israel, which claimed Brussels was damaging the prospects of peace talks restarting.

Everyone in the world feels a right to Jerusalem because it is the fulcrum of major religions; but, there is no word for religion in either Hebrew and Arabic–making it purely a Christian concept where dogmas rules of reason.

Since Avraham, progenitor of West, East and Middle East, is the basis for the antiquity of those religions, they all feel empowered to make their views known; peoples throughout the world connect to Jerusalem where Avraham almost slain his son trying to do the will of God. Avraham misunderstood when God through angels said Ola/Go Up he thought Ola/Sacrifice–in the end God appreciated Avraham’s intentions.

Today the offspring of Avraham do not want Jerusalem for the right reason, a spiritual reason as Yaakov-Yisroel grandson to Avraham said, as recorded in the Torah, This place is a gateway to heaven. Between earth and heaven there is no politics, only the light of truth.

The Cabala adds that Yerushalim/Jerusalem has the meaning of Yira Shalom/Complete Fear; Yira/Fear comes from the word Reih/Vision–God does not want to see any politics in this holy city.
