Stop the presses.

After defeating an enemy devoted to erasing its entire country, the State of Israel has decided to build 283 homes in an area that the Jewish people have been connected to for 3,500 years. The land where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, David and Solomon, and Isaiah and Jeremiah lived is now where Jews will build homes – and the fact that Jews will live there has been condemned by the U.S. State Department, the United Nations, and others.

As Tel Aviv is part of Israel, so too is Judea and Samaria. Jews have the absolute right to build there – and must continue to do so.

When Israel fought Hamas in order to survive and live, the world condemned Israel. And now, when the State of Israel builds homes to live in, they are condemned. “No-strategy” Obama always seems to have a plan to condemn Israel.

There is not one inch of Israel that is occupied – and the area called Judea and Samaria is an integral part of the State of Israel. Sometimes things really are that simple.
