"Jews Go Back To Palestine!" - "Jews Get Out Of Palestine!"

Today, it is vitally important that we reclaim the narrative, and that we do not allow this next wave of anti-Jewish sentiment to be the loudest voice when it comes to Israel and our Jewish identity. The anti-Israel forces know perfectly well that Jews are from the middle east; after all, these same people told us to ‘go back’ there for generations. Rather, they are upset that the Jewish people refuse to die, and outraged that we have finally reclaimed our homeland, and now have a strong, democratic and respected Jewish state.

"France, allow us to pray at the Tomb of the Kings"

For a significant amount of time a group of Jews, most of them Orthodox, has been frustrated by the fact that they are not given access to prayers on the "Tombs of Kings" in Jerusalem.

According to several historians, the graves of Nakdimon Ben Gurion, Kalba a week, Helleni Hamalka and dozens of righteous people whose bodies according to tradition are buried on the site of Saladin Street in the capital.

The reason for the closure of the sacred site is for the simple reason that it is located right inside the building of the French Consulate in East Jerusalem.

The French government, it turns out, refuses to allow Jewish prayer in the area, fearing it will become another symbol of Jewish attachment in the heart of the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.

On Thursday, dozens of Jews arrived at the gates of the consulate to protest against France, as well as against the Israeli government's policy, which they claim supports the French approach, in silence or even more.

"We ask that they open the place, that the people of Israel can come and pray here, that's all, they do not ask for anything, only Jews want to come and pray on the graves of the kings."

"The French consulate provides all sorts of excuses for various pretexts ... For example, they say that there must be security ... Shimon HaTzadik is here in the region, and there is the tomb of Samuel the Prophet and King David, and Baruch Hashem in all places we have no problems with anyone, because they only come to pray. "

The initiator of the protest concludes: "This is what we are asking: respect us - so that there will be room for prayer for the people of Israel, that's all."

So wait...let me see if I understand this.

Jewish people are not permitted to access and pray at places of historical and religious significance to the Jewish people for fear that the access and prayer will create an attachment to places...well, that the Jewish people are already attached to and have been prevented from accessing.

Wouldn't that kinda be like saying that Muslims should not be permitted to access and pray at the Al Aqsa mosque because permitting access and prayer to Muslim holy shrines would create a connection between Islam and those holy sites?

Like wow. Hey, now, let's not Judaize Jewish holy sites. Or Islamize Muslim holy sites.

Sigh. The world has gone mad. Again.

Exposure: The struggle over the tombs of the kings: Two original documents proving the Jewish ownership of the site

The original deed of Mrs. Berta Bertrand, which states that the site of the Tomb of the Kings in East Jerusalem is Jewish and not French, was located and recovered from the archives of the French Foreign Ministry in the city of Noont, in the presence of a French notary. This note is significant in light of the recent contacts with the French government regarding ownership of the place.

The text of the note was known and published in the books, but so far the original note has not been found, which enabled the French government to claim that there is no such bill, and the site is owned by French and not Jewish.
The issue of the Tomb of the Kings, where the Helleni Queen and Monbes King have been buried, has recently made headlines during President Rivlin's visit to Paris and his meeting with French President Macaron. At the meeting, Makaron told Rivlin of the French government's demand that the Israeli government recognize the ownership of the tomb of the kings in East Jerusalem in exchange for the site's opening. Rivlin had no idea what the French president was talking about.

Recently, after much effort, the original dedication of the graves of the kings was found, which clearly states that the site is owned by Jews and that the French government has been appointed guardian of the property for the Jewish people. Who actually dedicates the site to the people of Israel: "I, the undersigned Bertha Bertrand, testify and admit ... that in my purchase of the field and the cave in which the Kings' Cemeteries in Jerusalem are called, this is one purpose for me in this property, and this is to preserve forever this precious ancient memorial. ... to the family of the children of Israel, this memento of our forefathers I wish to preserve. "
Berta Bertrand nee Levy, a Jewish woman living in Paris, grew up as a Christian and married a Christian. But it never forgot its Jewish roots. Bertrand appealed to the chief rabbi of France to complete the process of transferring the sanctuary to the people of Israel.

Ottoman law in the city in the 19th century did not allow the acquisition of land by foreign nationals, and therefore officially registered land in the name of the French government. At the same time, the Hebrew press wrote with satisfaction: "And this place is now guarded and preserved under the command of the French consul in Jerusalem on behalf of all of Israel." After her death, the place passed to her heirs, Amiel and Yitzhak Freier, and their heirs, Henri Ferrier and his brother, in 1886 gave the site of the graves of the kings as a gift to the French government. Henry turned to the Chief Rabbi of France and consulted him about the gift. The rabbi replied that a gift note must be drawn up stating that France would keep the property.

(The original signed deed photograped by Amit Ararat)

A gift note was also recently discovered, and it turned out that it was not signed by the heirs - that is, it lacked validity. The bill contains three conditions that the heirs have set for the French government: not to damage or alter the compound, to mark the names of the donors on the western wall of the compound, and to write down a sign with a prominent sign at the entrance to the compound, in French, Hebrew and Arabic:" Tomb of the Kings of Judea", and below it a describtion of the reason for acquisition of this property. In other words, there is a concept of the Waqf, according to the law in all religions, but there is no significance to the gift given by the descendants of the Ferrier family. The debate took place about 10 years ago, when it became clear that the French government was using the site of the royal tombs as a tourist site and charging entry fees to the site. She also performed concerts with a Palestinian orientation.

The French announced they were closing the site for renovations. The renovation was completed in 2014 and since then the site has been closed, and above it is the French flag. The French government officially announced that there was no Jewish identification about the site.

LAPID'S DREAM: TRUMP'S DEAL OF THE CENTURY LEADS TO REFERENDUM

If Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid knows anyone in the office of US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, now is the time to give him or her a call. Because with Israelis now going to elections on April 9, one thing that could assist him in the campaign is if the Trump team – at long last – would roll out its peace plan.

Lapid would like nothing more than for this election to be about the American plan, and is surely trying to get hold of anyone he knows inside the administration to urge them to release it now.

His argument will not be that the Trump team should publish the plan to help him in the elections, of course, but rather that the administration – if it really wants the plan to actually succeed – should release it before the vote, forcing the parties to take a public stand and the Israeli electorate to choose.

Releasing the plan now could make the elections a referendum on it.
