Despite American, UN, EU and PA opposition, the atmosphere at the Rosh Chodesh Kislev cornerstone event for the new community of Nof Tzion was a happy one Wednesday, one that was somewhat marred by the pathetic presence of left-wing protestors, who are pained by the sight of a growing Eretz Yisrael, a Jewish Israel.
MK (Likud) Danny Danon was on hand to mark the occasion, calling on the White House to �take its hands off of Jerusalem�, stating the capital belongs to Am Yisrael, plain and simple, and we have the �right to build and raise our families�.
The two dozen or so left-wing protestors opposed the ceremony, insisting it impedes the �peace process�, championing rights and democracy for anyone but Jews.
The cornerstone marks the next stage of constructing another 400 housing units in Yerushalayim, a move that is sadly lamented by the left-wing, which insists the neighborhood is located next to predominately Jabel Mukaber and therefore it is a provocation.
Interestingly, the so-proclaimed �peace camp� lacks a suitable response to the question why they oppose dual existence, Jews living in the capital aside their Israeli Arab neighbors, but seemingly, they promote a policy of racial discrimination and segregation, somewhat contradictory to their overall liberal views.
