In sharp contrast to the betrayal last week of AIPAC’s Howard Kohr announcing support for a state and flag for the PA, the YESHA Council Conference was a breath of fresh air. This parallel conference drew HUGE support for Israel’s SOVEREIGNTY and for incorporating Judea and Samaria into a WHOLE ISRAEL. Speaking to a packed house Ambassador Dani Dayan, Consul General of Israel in New York clearly delineated why Judea and Samaria can never be turned into a Palestinian state. In fact,he affirmed that if we don’t have a claim to Judea and Samaria – the heart of Israel – then we do not have a claim to anything.
