Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had earlier in the day
expressed his gratitude to president-elect Donald Trump for his support
of Israel during the crisis arising from the Obama Administration’s approval
of the vicious anti-Israel UN Security Council resolution last Friday, targeted
President Obama with one photo on Netanyahu’s Facebook page:

Netanyahu is exactly right. The UN Security Council resolution effectively
declared Israel’s presence in the Old City of Jerusalem to be illegal, thus
denying the Biblical claim to the Temple Mount, the holiest place in Jerusalem.
The Temple Mount was the site of the biblical Temples, the first of which was
built by King Solomon almost 1,000 years before Christ, as stated in the Bible
in 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles. Jews trace their claim to King David, Solomon’s
father, 3,000 years ago.

On the second night of Hanukkah, the holiday that celebrates the ancient
Maccabean revolt against an oppressive regime seeking to target the Jews,
Netanyahu fired back at the UN, “According to the U.N. resolution, the
Maccabees did not liberate Jerusalem, they occupied Palestinian territory.
According to the U.N. resolution, the villages that they started out from in
the Modi’in area [north-west of Jerusalem], those villages and that area
were occupied Palestinian territory. Of course the Palestinians arrived
much later. We were here much earlier.”

The claim by Palestinians that Jews displaced Arabs in “Palestine” was
debunked long ago in the exhaustively-researched From Time Immemorial,
by Joan Peters.

Obama’s claim that he supports Israel while denying its holiest place to
Jews is beyond offensive. Certainly Obama would never condone Christians
and Jews denying the centrality of Mecca to Muslims.
