"Why does the Torah start with the creation, instead of the first commandment given to the Jewish People? Because if the nations of the world ever accuse the Jews of stealing the Land of Israel, the Jews will be able to respond to the nations of the world that the entire world belongs to G-d, He created it and He choose to give the Land of Israel to the Jewish People." -Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzhak (Rashi)

I loved it! Such chutzpah! It's about time someone spoke the truth and spoke frankly about Yerushalayim! OURS! NOT YOURS!
Shavua Tov, BK!
The interviewer was so dim-witted and frustrated. Wouldn't see the truth, no matter what.
I also saw this at Curtains.
Good stuff.
