Abbah, Don't Do It!

The Assyrian King Sencheriv conquered every city it attacked, but when it attacked our Holy Jerusalem, our Abbah in Shamayim stopped him cold in his mighty attempt
That was a long time ago.
Today, the Assyrican King of Eisav will try to conquer Jerusalem in an attempt to carve a piece of the Land of Eretz Yisrael and make it a gift to a non-state for a non-people 

Abbah, don't let them do it!


(JNS) U.S. President Joe Biden’s Feb. 1 executive order, imposing sanctions on “persons undermining peace, security and stability in the West Bank,” runs 1,699 words. None of those words is “Jerusalem.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote to Biden on Tuesday asking the president to clarify whether, for purposes of the executive order, the White House considers Jerusalem to be part of the “West Bank,” which is a term the Biden administration, and some others, use for Judea and Samaria.
“Your recent executive order targets Israelis with sanctions who are ‘in the West Bank.’ Does this phrase include Jerusalem?” the Arkansas Republican wrote. “If so, what parts of Jerusalem? Where are the borders within Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, that you are using for purposes of implementing the executive order?”
Cotton asked Biden to respond within a week, by Feb. 27. “Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter,” he wrote.
“It’s a simple question that I hope the administration can answer clearly and promptly,” Cotton wrote on social media. “Does Joe Biden consider Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, to be part of the West Bank in his recent executive order?”
The Biden administration has mulled reopening a consulate for Palestinian Authority affairs in Jerusalem. Former President Donald Trump moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognizing the latter as the united capital of Israel.
The CIA World Factbook’s “West Bank” entry notes that the area is slightly smaller than Delaware and “East Jerusalem and Jerusalem No Man’s Land are also included only as a means of depicting the entire area occupied by Israel in 1967.”
In a 2022 report, the U.S. State Department refers to “West Bank and Jerusalem” and to “Jerusalem and West Bank” apparently as separate entities.

FWIW, some years back (during the Obamanation) I had to acquire some documentation from what was then the US Consulate. There was a blank line (underscore) followed by a period wherein they typed in my address. They wrote "{such and such street, such and such number} Jerusalem, " and nothing further. Notice, generally a comma would be followed by something more. In this case, no; they just left it hanging until the preprinted period.

As for the embossed seal, the legend on it said "Consulate General of the United States Jerusalem, Jerusalem". NOT Jerusalem, Israel. Heaven forfend that the US State Department allow ANY indication that ANY part of Jerusalem pertains to the Jewish state!

bs"d.. I surely will not leave any geographic definitions to Joe Biden. Who is he to define the borders of Jerusalem, or any other part of Israel? Stop offering this man any credibility. Stop offering him any platform to spew lies and propaganda. Tom Cotton should not have asked any questions.. He should have stated flat out the sovereignty of Israel.
