I’ve been debating what to write about Har Homa (Homat Shmuel). My friend Lurker sent me some links that I already read, but he simply pushed me to write about it.

I drove by there the other day, when I used the new Tekoa road to avoid the Tunnel traffic (my GPS doesn’t actually recognize the road and it kept telling me in a frantic voice to turn around NOW).

It might be important to read this background article about Har Homa.

Har Homa is no different than the Old City, than Gilo, that Pisgat Ze’ev, than the City Center, than Jerusalem, than Israel.

The US government is questioning our right as Jews to legally own, build and live in Israel - period.

And unfortunately there are some in the Israeli government that are not sure about our right to live in Israel either.

I don’t know what else to write about it, other than that. It’s that simple.
