"This decision is an outrageous assault to all universal values," Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said. "This is bullying," he said of the US approach. "We will not be intimated." And addressing the US directly, he added, "you can be strong, but this doesn't make you right." CNNI missed being able to film a really hypocritical irony on CNN last night, when some blond woman being interviewed by the guy with the rough voice -and I would greatly appreciate if someone finds it, please post in comments- defended the countries voting against Trump/Israel by saying that every country has the right to do what it feels is in its best interests.
Nu? So, doesn't Israel have the right to do what it feels is in its best interest, such as declaring our eternal Jewish Capital City, Jerusalem, as official Capital of the State of Israel?
Besides that, with all the evil violence going on all over the world, all the United Nations can do is to condemn the legally elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, for supporting the State of Israel's legal right to decide its own Capital City. Duh?
Jews and other good well-meaning people from all over the political spectrum should really take a good look at what is going on in the world. This focus on condemning Israel and anyone who does more than just claim to support Israel's rights as a sovereign nation proves how the world is against us.
Read the list of countries that voted against Israel's right to chose its capital city and condemned the only state head who has supported that right with more than just empty words during a political campaign should be a wake-up call for you.
I'm being pragmatic and rational.
Don't fear joining us, because the world will only be getting more dangerous, since this vote is facilitating, making excuses for and supporting international terror.
With all his obvious imperfections, give credit to Donald Trump for doing what others have promised to do. I guess that's why he was elected. The antisemites and anti-Israelis, including many countries like Great Britain which have claimed to be Israel's allies, have now shown their true hatred of Jewish rights, history and Israeli sovereignty.
I'd rather go forward with the knowledge this vote has revealed than to live in a dangerous fantasy filled "dreamland."
Shabbat Shalom U'Mevorach
May You have a Peaceful and Blessed Sabbath, Gd willing

What has Donald Trump actually done? Has he given a timetable to move the embassy? Did he state that the religious status quo WILL remain? Did he put an end to the Pallywood charade? Words are cheap, he said nothing different than any other one like Bush, Clinton etc. He actually by just avoiding the word "West" confirmed the UN position. What he did do is unite the Arabs and much of the world. Have you listened to Prof Francisco Gil-White on the Tamar Yonah show yet? or read his website www.hirhome.com? He lays out geopolitically based on the US actions and not just words that Jews just love to hear. We get a few crumbs and think we have won. Do you realize that Greenblatt said after Trumps speech for Israel to NOT get carried away with building across the Green line more homes. Nothing, nothing has changed except violence and world wide exposed hatred for us.
Yes, this is about sovereignty, this is about the ONLY country standing in the way of Agenda 21 (though our governmental idiots signed it)yes, the globalist agenda, namely Israel. By default our leaders are playing into the UN's plans by not standing up to this. The good news is many good people around the world do not want their sovereignty destroyed and are fighting back on the grass roots level. Here we are too busy with paying attention to the world instead of creating our destiny.
Trump has done more than any other American President, and more important is that his words/actions are bringing all the anti-Israel followers out of their closets. That's good.
If the majority was always right, Israel wouldn't be around today.
And Trump, like his predecessors, could have kicked the can down the road.
Decency and justice require taking a principled stand for what is right.
So the US and Israel were in the minority? They said "no" to the world's hatred.
We may not see it now but in the end it will bear fruit. Everything in this world was accomplished by people who stood up for their values and didn't allow adversity to deter them.
The UN vote was unpleasant but it could not change the fact Jerusalem is Israel's capital and will always be.
Trunp merely acknowledged the obvious and that's why he is reviled. And someday, the previously unthinkable will happen.
Change is hard, people fight against it and in the end everyone will see it made the world a better place. That's good.
For the Jews, for Israel, for America and for the entire world.
Norman, I suggest you listen to Prof Francisco Gil-White on Tamar Yonah's program at Israelnewstalkradio.com or his website at www.hirhome.com .
Have to agree with Shiloh this time. Believe H' has seen to it about the recognition of Yerushalayim being the capital of Yisrael so to start the ball rolling towards our redemption. Their reasons for doing whatever is just as Shiloh says but, it is H's Will that matters and in the end it will be our Redemption; hopefully, very soon with great rachamim.
This is a repeat of the Tower of Bavel where our enemies are reaching for the stars, so their fall will be greater.
Why do many nations attempt to take the Land of Israel,
especially Jerusalem, away from Jews?
The answers are found in THE BIBLE:
[1] In the Biblical Book of Joshua (chapter 23, verses 12 to 13), G_d Himself warns that intermarriage with non-Jews will cause the Jews to fail in their attempt to conquer the Land of Israel.
Even worse, G_d also warns that intermarriage with non-Jews will cause the Jews to be pushed-out-of the Land of Israel.
[2] In the Biblical Book of Jeremiah (end of chapter 17), the prophet warn that Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem depends on Jews observing Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath.
[3] The Biblical Book of Tehillim [Psalms in English] (chapter 105, last 2 verses) teaches that G_d gave the Land of Israel to Jews because He wants Jews to carefully obey His commandments [chukav].

Mr. Cohen is correct. Very main commandments are the ones most violated, such as intermarriage which truthfully harms the whole nation, not just the individual, and, of course, Shabbat which has kept us as a people, a nation. These two are vital and yet, the most abused. Over the millenia, the galut has had a terrible impact on the Jewish psyche which made it easy for them to follow the cultures and ways of the nations.
H' help us! Teshuvah, Teshuvah and Teshuva - Return to the Laws of our Torah!
Really Mr. Cohen? Then explain why according to the Talmud, God stopped accepting our sacrifices in 30 CE. 40 years prior to the destruction of the Temple. Inventing more reasons does not change our reality. But bombarding us with enough lemons only makes lemonade. God stopped communicating with us in 30 AD according to rabbinic literature. It came back in 2002! But rabbis are hiding something from us.
I'll just let you guys fight it out.
Batya Medad, I have two-plus decades of experience fighting against Christian missionaries who specialize in converting JEWS to their religion, for example: “Jews for Cheeses”. I studied their beliefs for many years, and I know exactly what they believe.
The commentator who calls himself “Shiloh” said EXACTLY what they believe.
Shiloh said: “God stopped communicating with us in 30 AD” – this is EXACTLY what Christians believe and emphasize.
Shiloh said: “rabbis are hiding something from us” – this is EXACTLY what Christians believe and emphasize –- especially when they speak to Jews.
Yes, Mr Cohen, you are correct. Thanks.
Shiloh, stop turning political issues into your theological agenda.
Hold on a second here Batya, since Mr. Cohen constantly publishes theology with no resistance I was asking him a question from Jewish sources that all he does is deflect with loshon hara as his only defense. So it's only fair that I can ask an uncomfortable question to him that relates politically also of why. I am not nor have ever pushed the corrupted man-god NT garbage which I can debunk with history and not going after a straw man that the likes of Mr. Cohen try, I know their game inside and out as I do the "missionaries". Unfortunately though in our country religion and politics has always played a large part. We have had an exile of 2000 years, especially the last 1700 have been extremely bad. So Mr. Cohen's response is theological, not political. Let's get some balance here for a change.
Shiloh said: “30 AD”.
AD stands for the Latin words “annō Dominī”
which means (according to dictionary dot com)
“in the year of the Lord; since Christ was born”.
Notice that “AD” implies belief in Christianity,
and “30 AD” implies belief in Christianity
even more because that is the year in which
Christians believe that the founder of
their religion first revealed his teachings.
A believer in Judaism would have said
“30 CE” with “CE” meaning “Common Era”.
Not only is Shiloh a Christian, but he
also uses LIES to deny that he is Christian.
Decades of experience show that Christian
missionaries who target Jews never stop speaking LIES.
Shiloh should be banned from all Jewish blogs
and all his blog comments should be deleted.
Mr. Cohen, you're right, but it's so easy to make up names, that blocking won't really help ridding ourselves of the christians masquerading as Jews.
