Opposite Obama Press Conference

Received this:-

COALITION FOR A UNITED JERUSALEM HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE TO PROTEST SENATOR OBAMA’S FLIP FLOP STANCE ON FUTURE OF ISRAEL’S CAPITAL CITY

The Coalition for a United Jerusalem is to hold a press conference Tuesday evening opposite the King David Hotel in central Jerusalem, to call upon visiting Senator Barack Obama to reaffirm his positive views for the future of Jerusalem. In welcoming the Democratic Presidential Candidate, the Coalition's aim is to remind Obama of his remarks in June of this year, to the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington DC, where he stated the need to insure that Jerusalem remain the undivided Capital of Israel.

The Coalition, comprising of the Zionist Organization of America, Emunah Women, the American Israeli Action Coalition, the Worldwide Young Israel Movement, and the Council of Young Israel Rabbis in Israel, intends to highlight the views of some of the major American/Israeli organizations and dual American/Israeli voting citizens living in Jerusalem...

The Coalition for a United Jerusalem also intends to call on Obama to:

* Disavow subsequent retractions which qualified his original calls for an undivided
Jerusalem to mean only that it would not be separated by barbed wire as in 1948-67

* Declare that security and access to all holy places can only be guaranteed by Israeli sovereignty, as demonstrated during the past 41 years

* Acknowledge that Israeli withdrawals from Southern Lebanon and Gaza in the past have led to destabilization and increased violence and terror, and that these withdrawals presage a similar deterioration likely to occur in Eastern Jerusalem if Israel were to withdraw and turn the area over to Fatah, which would likely be usurped by Hamas

* Take immediate steps to introduce balance and a pro-Israel perspective by appointing a number of foreign policy advisors more likely to consider an undivided Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty.

Press conference: Tues July 22nd at 7:30pm Eldan Hotel, 24 King David Street, Jerusalem on the corner of Paul Emile Botha St. diagonally across the street from the King David Hotel.
