JERUSALEM DIVIDED
ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Manhigut Yehudit Opposes Any Division of Jerusalem
October 9, 2007.
Manhigut Yehudit opposes the upcoming November summit in Maryland in which the United States and Israel will seek to divide Jerusalem and relinquish Israeli sovereignty from Judaism's holiest site - The Temple Mount - while at the same time bringing Israel back to what Abba Eban called it's Auschwitz Borders.This summit is solely a tool for two desperate men - US President George Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert - to attempt to make political gains on the backs of the Jewish People. Bush supports this plan (which will bring rockets raining down on all of Israel) as he desperately wants to focus attention away from Iraq, and if he can come up with a newfangled Mid-East Peace then he and the Republicans will walk away smelling like roses. Olmert is willing and eager to make Israel spiritually bankrupt and militarily defenseless by creating another Arab tyranny in its very backyard whose sole aim will be to destroy the Jewish State. Olmert's first objective is solely the opportunity to stay in office just a little while longer, and he thinks that by producing another false peace ala Oslo then he'll be able to do just that.
Neither of them care about Israel's identity, security or viability more than they care about their own political ambitions.
All recent polls in Israel show approximately 75% of Israeli Jews are opposed to dividing Jerusalem and giving up the Temple Mount. Olmert has NO MANDATE to make the concessions that he is rushing to make.
Olmert's declaration that he is willing to divide Jerusalem and risk countless Jewish lives is a betrayal of the Jewish People and new elections should be called immediately. The Olmert regime will go to any lengths to achieve its ultimate goal of stripping the Jewish Nation of all vestiges of it's Jewish character. Whether that means expelling one hundred thousand Jews (predominantly religious Jews) from their homes in Judea and Samaria or DIVIDING JERUSALEM, G-D forbid, Jews must wake up to the reality that a band of anti-Jewish corrupt individuals are leading the Jewish people to national suicide.Manhigut Yehudit is the authentic Jewish leadership that Israel needs and must have. We will continue to speak out with all of our might against the division of Jerusalem, the wholesale giveaway of Eretz Yisrael, and the risking of Jewish lives as sacrifices for peace.The Manhigut Yehudit website is www.jewishisrael.org
Israel minister draws fire over Jerusalem division call by Ron Bousso Mon Oct 8, 7:57 AM ET
JERUSALEM (AFP) - A close ally of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sparked controversy on Monday after saying that Israel should share sovereignty of Jerusalem with the Palestinians as part of a peace deal. It is in Israel's interest to tackle the issue of Jerusalem in the negotiations, deputy prime minister Haim Ramon said, reiterating his stance over the holy city, which Israel calls its eternal, indivisible capital.If we reach a deal with the Palestinians, the Arab world and the international community according to which the Jewish neighbourhoods of Jerusalem will be recognised as the capital of Israel and the Arab neighbourhoods as part of the Arab capital, will that be a bad deal?
Ramon also urged Israel not to miss the opportunity presented by a US-sponsored Midde East conference expected to take place in Annapolis, Maryland in November to try to advance the dormant peace talks.Israel captured Arab east Jerusalem, including the Old City with its sites holy to Christianity, Islam and Judaism -- during the 1967 Six Day war and later annexed it.In 1980, the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, passed a law proclaiming it the reunified and eternal capital of Israel, a claim not recognised by the international community.Ramon's comments as Israeli and Palestinian officials met for the first time to draw a joint statement outlining understandings ahead of the renewal of bilateral talks which are planned following the international meeting.But senior members of Olmert's coalition government were swift to criticise Ramon for breaking of one of Israel's strongest taboos.Of course, Jerusalem is not on the negotiations agenda, Trade and Industry Minister and chairman of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party Eli Yishai told AFP.
Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz of Olmert's centrist Kadima party warned that Ramon's proposal causes damage on the security level and also on the national level.The issue of the division of Jerusalem is an inalienable asset of the state of Israel. Palestinian refugees will not be returned to Israel and Jerusalem will not be divided, the former chief of staff told public radio.
The issue of Jerusalem -- which the Palestinians demand be the capital of their promised state -- is one of the most sensitive and intractable issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict along with the question of refugees.Referring to the planned peace conference, the deputy prime minister told army radio: The meeting is an important occasion to reach an agreement on the political horizon with the Palestinian partners and we cannot miss this opportunity.The alternative in case of failure is that we will be left to face Hamas and fight it he said, referring to the Islamist movement that seized power in Gaza in June by routing forces loyal to moderate Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.Olmert is due to address the talks with the Palestinians issue during a speech at the opening of parliament's winter session on Monday, telling the chamber that he is absolutely determined.... to give momentum and a chance to a substantive peace process, the mass-selling Yediot Aharonot daily said.
Jordanian NGOs to take part in Jerusalem forum

AMMAN, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Jordanian non-governmental organizations will partake in the Jerusalem International Forum slated for next month in Turkey, which marks the 40th anniversary of the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967, the Jordan Times reported on Sunday. Around 3,000 intellectuals from Turkey and around the world will take part in the Nov. 15-17 forum, which aims to highlight the historical rights of the Palestinians as well as denying Israel's claims on East Jerusalem, the report said. Jordan Engineers Association (JEA) President Wael Saqqa was quoted as saying that the JEA will send 150 of its members to the forum, noting that the participants are keen to do their part in support of the Palestinians in the occupied territories. There are several committees formed by the JEA that work side-by-side with other concerned parties to fight against Jewish attempts to Judaise the holy city, said Saqqa.
Razan Zueiter, who will represent Jordan's civil sector at the forum, said she hoped the forum would offer an opportunity to work together with Palestinian institutions in the occupied territories, said the newspaper. She also called for reactivating the Arab boycott of Israeli products and increasing Arab investments in Jerusalem. On the sidelines of the forum, several folklore, cultural and art exhibitions will be held by the participating delegations, according to the report. Israel seized East Jerusalem, Gaza, the West Bank, Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and Syria's Golan Heights during the Six-Day War in 1967,which ended with Israel's stunning victory over the Arab armies. The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 242unanimously in November 1967, demanding the Jewish state withdraw from the occupied lands in return for peaceful actions from Arab states.

Report: Israel, PA agree Jordanian control of Temple Mount
London-based Palestinian daily quotes Abbas aide as saying, Israel and Palestinians have agreed to transfer control of parts of Old City in Jerusalem to Jordan as part of future peace agreement
Roee Nahmias 10.08.07, 10:14 / Israel News
Israel and the Palestinians have agreed that the Temple Mount as well as other parts of the Old City in Jerusalem will be under Jordanian control as part of a future peace deal, a Palestinian daily reported on Monday.The London-based al-Quds al-Arabi reported that President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert reached the agreement during recent talks in Jerusalem. Under the arrangement, the Old City's Arab residents will be granted Jordanian citizenship. The newspaper did not say whether Israel would keep control of Jewish holy sites and neighborhoods in the Old City. The arrangement will make the Jordanian monarchy a guardian of holy Muslim shrines in Jerusalem. The plan's details and implementation will be supervised by Jordan, Israel, Egypt, the Palestinian Authority and the United Nations, the newspaper said.
The report comes a day after remarks by Vice Premier Haim Ramon that Abbas and Olmert will discuss the status of Jerusalem during the US-sponsored talks in November. Ramon said it was in Israel's interest to hand over control of Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods to the Palestinian Authority.A Palestinian official told Ynet it was agreed in principle that the neighborhoods of Shuafat, Wadi Jos, Beit Hanina, Ras el-Amoud and Jabal Mukaber would be transferred to PA control.He added that progress was also made regarding the excavations at the Temple Mount. The Palestinians have recently claimed that Israel is attempting to build a synagogue under the complex. The official said that under a future deal Israel would be responsible for security at the Temple Mount while the Palestinians would have sovereignty over the area. In addition, Israel agreed not to conduct any archeological digs at the complex.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office denied al-Quds al-Arabi's report, saying no agreement has been reached.Ali Waked contributed to the report.
