Jerusalem: the city on the edge of forever<\/p><\/div>\n

Star Trek is a legendary TV series and some of the stories endure as lessons in reality presented in a science fiction format. One of my favorites is \u201cCity on the edge of forever\u201d. Captain Kirk and his friends go back in time and are forced to confront what changing history can mean. Emotions, common sense and human frailty all combine to one answer: you cannot and must not change history to accommodate \u201cfeelings\u201d or popular opinion. The United Nations needs to take Captain Kirk\u2019s advice to heart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Written history is a series of movements, migrations and inhabitations of places by peoples, clans and tribes. Few places are still occupied by their original inhabitants. Yet, only place stands out as divinely given to a Chosen People: Jerusalem. The City of David became the place of the Temple, the Redemption and will be the place of the return in wrath of the Messiah. The recent vote by the United Nations ignores history, archaeology and even reason for its arrogant and irrelevant decision.<\/p>\n
