The U.S. is Neither "Best Friend" Nor "Honest Broker"


July 19, 2008...

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice is at it again. Last week she scolded the Israeli government for having the "audacity" to authorize the construction of housing units inJerusalem.

According to Ms. Rice, Israel building homes for Jews in Jerusalem - The Eternal Capital of the Jewish People - provokes the "palestinians" and undermines the so-called "peace process."

Manhigut Yehudit officials reject the entire "peace process", as no Jew has the right to give away any of our divinely-given Land of Israel . Additionally, it is clear to see that after 15 years of this so-called "peace", the only things that Israel has received from it are thousands of dead Jews and the loss of the belief in the justness of our cause by many Israelis and Jews worldwide.

The United States claims to be " Israel 's best friend", and it also claims to be an "honest broker" in the "peace process".

Rice's statement highlights the dichotomy between the two opposing positions that America has claimed vis-à-vis Israel . If the US was Israel's best friend, Rice would not publicly call for Israel not to build homes in a city which even the US Congress has recognized as the Eternal Capital of Israel. Rice seemingly thus tries to fit America into its position as "honest broker". However, by repeatedly demanding that Israel make concession after concession to enemies that have not lived up to any of their agreed-upon obligations throughout the entire "peace process", it becomes clear that the United States is not an "honest broker for peace" either.

Israel must wake up and realize that our destiny lies only in the hands of our Creator and ourselves.

  1. Shalom, there has always been a split between the Executive office and the State Department. This time they are both wrong,as they usually are for various reasons. Yisrael is the Promised Land. If Yisrael gives away any land it should be 1 square KM, directly behind the U.N. crossing point in the Golan,to be used as a cemetery for anyone that does not wish to join YHWH in His Promises to His Eternal People.

  2. I agree. But does that make us Jewish Americans and not American Jews?
    If so....does it matter?

    All the best
