The propaganda effort to disassociate Jews from Israel and Jerusalem is absurd. International Law, the Bible, Quran (5:21 and 17:104) and history recognize the rights of the Jewish People to Israel. So did President Trump.
Beginning Thursday night and all day Friday, May 15, 2026, we will be celebrating Yom Yerushalayim-Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of the liberation and reunification of Jerusalem. This year is the 59th anniversary; but our connection to Jerusalem stretches back well over 3,000 years ago, including to the time when Biblical King David declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
Although the Land of Israel has been conquered by a number of empires during the ages, the Jewish people never entered into any peace treaty with any conqueror voluntarily surrendering title to the Land. Furthermore, no other independent country, comprising only the Land of Israel, was ever established and ruled by any resident and indigent nation other than the Jewish People.
Jerusalem has only been the capital of Israel and no other nation.
