On the background of American Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s visit to Israel for the Negev Summit and reports that he intends to raise a number of matters in his discussions with senior government officials in Israel, including the American demand to re-open an American consulate for the PA in the heart of Jerusalem, we will publish tomorrow (Monday),  the attached ad in the Jerusalem Post.

We must continue to be vigilant. We must not become complacent in the  attempts by the Prime Minister and senior officials to calm us. 

The Biden administration has set for itself the goal of bringing back the idea of tearing the Land and establishing a Palestinian state in its heart and a significant step toward that goal is the establishment of the consulate.
We will keep our finger on the pulse, we will detect any political breeze in that dangerous direction and issue warnings about it out loud. This is our duty to Jerusalem, this is our duty to Jewish history, this is our duty to the People of Israel throughout the generations.

*Important note:* The announcement was written and sent to the paper’s editorial staff before the terrible terror attack in Hadera, consequently, the horrific event is not mentioned. 

However, it is appropriate to note here the severe distortion that the American Secretary of State causes, when, at a time soaked with Jewish blood, he highlights what he defines as “settler violence” as one of the key problems that he means to address during his visit.

We expect the Prime Minister and other ministers to respond immediately to such harsh remarks, to inform the visitor that his words are offensive and defend the honor of Israeli citizens who sacrifice themselves every day for the Land of Israel. 

Silence in the face of such vicious slander and libel is tantamount to agreement, and is totally unacceptable.
