I can only blame Israel's wishy-washy policies for the fact that the world hasn't accepted, adjusted to the fact that Israel must be sovereign over its Capital, Jerusalem. The modern State of Israel was established in May, 1948, six months after the United Nations voted its "approval." I have no doubt that the vote was just a public relations act without any "teeth." What was the United Nations at the time? It was a very newly established international body totally lacking in any track record.
And since then according to the long list of "resolutions" and votes, the greatest danger to world security is the tiny State of Israel. It's inaccurate and lopsided to say the least. And about that November, 1947 vote, I have no doubt that many of the countries that voted in favor of a Jewish State only did it, because they figured that it would be defeated by the British supported Arabs who attacked it. They voted "yes" to look nice and sympathetic after the Holocaust, Nazi atrocities against European Jews had been revealed. I base this on the fact that no country helped Israel in its fight for independence, just like no country did anything to stop the Nazis as they murdered Jews. The international fight against Nazis was to protect, preserve and return European countries to independence and to protect/defend Great Britain. That was the aim of the allied forces.
Now, lets look at some simple math. The State of Israel is sixty-two (62) years old. At the time of the cease fire most of Jerusalem including the ancient "walled city" where the Kotel, Western Wall and Temple Mount, site of the Jewish Holy Temple are located was in Jordanian hands. Jordan is a Nazi dream country. It's Judenrein. Jews are forbidden to live there. Nineteen (19) years later, in 1967, after threats of war and annihilation by Egypt, Syria and Jordan, a war broke out, and Israel miraculously defeated those three nations in six days. The result was a much more easily defensible state with straight geographic borders, from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River, from the Golan Heights to the Suez Canal. In the center is a united Jerusalem which includes Judaism's holiest place, the Temple Mount. That was forty-three (43) years ago, already more than double the amount of time we didn't hold our Biblical Homeland, Judea and Samaria and united Jerusalem.
Ironically and ridiculously, with time, instead of our hold and international recognition getting stronger, it's getting weaker. That is bad news and extremely dangerous to Israel's security. The fault is with Israel, its politicians and media. Something stinks.
But I don't want to leave you with such a totally negative message on the Eve of Jerusalem Day. Therefore I'll add a few photos I took recently.
