Tel-Chai Nation: British government doesn't recognize Jerusalem's Old City as Israeli

The UK government's up to their old, offensive tricks again, this time refusing to recognize the Old City, and calling it "occupied":

The British ambassador to Israel on Thursday defended describing Jerusalem’s Old City as being part of the “Occupied Palestinian Territories” in the itinerary for Prince William’s upcoming visit to Israel and the West Bank.

“All the terminology that was used in the program was consistent with years of practice by British governments. It’s consistent with British government policy,” David Quarrey said.

The royal itinerary, published last week by Kensington Palace, raised some eyebrows in Israel, as it indicates that the palace considers the Old City to be Palestinian territory occupied by the Jewish state.

According to the itinerary for the June 24-28 regional visit, William — also known as the Duke of Cambridge — will travel first to Jordan, followed by Israel on June 25-27.

On June 27, “the program will shift to its next leg – the Occupied Palestinian Territories” and on June 28 Prince William — the second-in-line to the throne — will receive a “short briefing on the history and geography of Jerusalem’s Old City from a viewing point at the Mount of Olives,” Kensington Palace said.

“There’s no political message in this,” Quarrey insisted. “The Duke is not a political figure. He’ll be here to see a little bit of the country and to get to meet some of the people here. And also to get a flavor of Israel, to see what’s happening here, some of the extraordinary successes in technology, some of the great culture here. And he really wants to get under the skin of the country.”

The claim this isn't political has to be the most laughable defense I've seen. And that this is UK government policy is exactly the problem - it's all they care about, and if they don't change it, it'll only perpetuate a long-running problem that's only caused serious harm in the long term. This planned visit by the Duke is not something to celebrate if that's what they think.

The Biblical Book of Joel, chapter 4, verses 1 and 2,
teaches that when the Diaspora of the Jewish people
finally ends, and all Jews are living in Israel,
G*D will bring all the Gentile nations down into
the Valley of Jehosephat, and there they will be
judged for what they did to the Israelites [Jews]
when the Jews were in the Diaspora [literally,
“when they were scattered among the nations”].

The British fear the Arabs for many reasons:
Arab oil, Arab wealth, Arab numbers, and
Arab terrorism. But, the Jewish Bible teaches that:
THE FEAR OF G*D IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM
(Psalms, chapter 111, last verse and
Proverbs, chapter 1, verse 7).

The British have good reasons to fear the Arabs;
but the reasons for fearing G*D are even greater.
