(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - At an event on Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem, sponsored by the Friends of Zion, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted that the Jewish people are "the only people on Earth who live in the same land where they lived 3,000 years ago, with the same capital, the same language and the same religion." What makes the feat even more extraordinary, he added, is that the Jews were exiled from the land and came back to it. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said: "We have created a new shrine in the ancient city of Jerusalem, and we're extremely proud of it." He noted that every day tour buses drive by the embassy. Friedman added, "The move of the embassy was the validation by the strongest nation in the world - not just strong militarily and economically, but strong morally, strong ethically... that [it] recognized the unbreakable, historical and truthful connection between the Jewish people and the city of Jerusalem."
