Speaking ahead of a special session of the Security Council convened to discuss US President Donald Trump�s announcement on Jerusalem, Israel�s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon welcomed the American decision.
�President Trump�s declaration marks a milestone � for Israel, for peace and for the world,� Ambassador Danon said. �The announcement on Wednesday revealed a sad truth about some people around the world. The people who threaten to ignite a wave of violence,� he continued.
Ambassador Danon went on to say that, �This announcement should serve as a reality check for the Palestinians. They can choose violence as they have always done, or they can choose to join us at the negotiating table. The Security Council must send a clear message that there is never an excuse for violence. Violence must never be used as a threat.�
�The nations of the world must understand, that there will never be peace without Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel,� Ambassador Danon concluded. �That is why, today, I call on all countries to join with our American friends, recognize Jerusalem as our capital and move their embassies as well.�

The Israeli ambassador – while emphasizing the strong historical and inseparable bond between the Jews and Jerusalem, stating that the city’s name is being mentioned more that six hundred times in the Torah – missed a very critical point and that is that the name ??????? is NOT even mentioned once in the Koran.
However – in either case the world would remain the same hypocrite world with the exception of few individuals like Trump and Haley . We have to strengthen our trust in H’. The world will continue to bark but we will prevail
Correction – the name ??????? is mentioned frequently in Tanach, but – believe it or not – not mentioned even once in the Torah itself!
