On Monday’s Mark Levin’s show, We bring you the best of Mark Levin from Israel. Natan Sharansky, Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, discusses how he was brutalized in the Soviet Union and imprisoned for 9 years for being accused of being a spy for the CIA. Part of his time in prison was spent in solitary confinement. He rejoiced in prison when he read that Ronald Reagan had called the Soviet Union an evil empire. When he was released Sharansky received the Congressional Gold Medal in 1986 from President Reagan and the Medal of Freedom in 2006 from George W. Bush. Next, Ze’ev Orenstein, Director of International Affairs at the City of David Foundation, calls in to talk about the City of David and East Jerusalem. The Mount of Olives one the most significant Jewish cemeteries in the world and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, burial spot of Jesus are both in East Jerusalem. If you did a strict pre 1967 division of Jerusalem, the places significant to Christians and Jews would not be under Jewish sovereignty. Also, UNESCO and the United Nations have erased the history of Jews and Christians from Jerusalem and are only assigning historical significance to Islam there. The values that western civilization are built upon come from Jerusalem. If we allow the UN to change objective history, they can change history for any country. Finally, Eli Pieprz, Director of External Affairs of the Jewish Communities of Judea and Samaria, calls in to talk about Judea, Samaria, and the Temple Mount. Judea and Samaria are terms in the Bible, but even the UN used the terms until the early 1950s. Israel is celebrating the 50th year of the liberation of Jerusalem. The Jews have a legitimate heritage in the Middle East despite opposition from the Palestinians. The two state solution is a fallacy as the Palestinians will never accept Israel as a Jewish state. We at the Mark Levin show honor our fallen heroes on this Memorial day and every day.
