By the way, if you are wondering about the anniversary of the capture of Jerusalem being in May rather than June, it is because they observe it according to the Hebrew calendar: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_Day"On May 12, 1968, the government proclaimed a new holiday – Jerusalem Day – to be celebrated on the 28th of Iyar, the Hebrew date on which the divided city of Jerusalem became one. On March 23, 1998, the Knesset passed the Jerusalem Day Law, making the day a national holiday. One of the themes of Jerusalem Day, based on a verse from the Book of Psalms, is "Ke'ir shechubra lah yachdav"—"Built-up Jerusalem is like a city that was joined together" (Psalm 122:3).[10] In 1977, the government advanced the date of Jerusalem Day by a week to avoid it clashing with Election Day.[11]" This is 2 weeks from today, things may heat up even faster than we think. |

Trump is making a "yuge" political statement by visiting Jerusalem on this date.
