European Union and Germany plot to see Jerusalem divided

By David Singer - posted Monday, 25 October 2021


The EU and Germany have trashed the uniquely shared Jewish, Moslem and Christian identity of East Jerusalem, evidenced by the centuries-long presence of Jews, Moslems and Christians there and the formative and normative role East Jerusalem has played in the development of these three monotheistic religions.

The EU and Germany's support for a recently-minted Palestinian identityfabricated to erase this shared identity is disgustingly racist.

The only time in history that Jerusalem has ever been a divided city occurred between 1950 and 1967 after East Jerusalem was conquered in 1948 and then unified with Transjordanto form a single territorial entity called Jordan.

During this period:

  • The Jewish Quarter of the Old City in East Jerusalem was destroyed and its residents expelled.
  • Fifty-eight synagogues, some hundreds of years old, were destroyed, their contents looted and desecrated.
  • The 2500 years old Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives was ransacked; graves desecrated; thousands of tombstones smashed and used as building material, paving stones or for latrines in Arab Legion army camps.

Jerusalem must never be divided again.
