JERUSALEM (JNS)- Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch, the rabbi of the Western Wall, chastised United Nations diplomats from four countries who refused to visit the sacred site, in an open letter on Friday.

The ambassadors of Italy, Romania, Slovenia and Moldova withdrew from a group visit to the Western Wall a week ago when the European Union ordered member-state representatives not to participate in any Israeli-hosted tour of eastern Jerusalem. While Moldova is not a member of the E.U., it is a candidate for membership.
Representatives from seven countries attended the visit as planned, from Thailand, Costa Rica, Belize, Serbia, Georgia, Haiti and Sierra Leone.
Rabinovitch wrote in his letter: “It was with extreme dismay that I heard of your decision not to attend the official tour of the Western Wall given by the State of Israel for ambassadors. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Your decision to ‘avoid’ the tour was a resounding victory for evil, a deeply upsetting choice.”
He continued: “The Jewish nation does not need anyone’s approval for its eternal connection with Jerusalem and the Western Wall. This is a bond of thousands of years that was shaped by the love of a nation for its God and forged through the fire of destruction.”
He added, “It is a bond that is validated every single day by unusual archaeological findings from the days of ancient kings of Judah, discovered in the earth of Jerusalem. Had you joined the tour, you would have seen them yourself.”
EuroTrash scum.
“The Jewish nation does not need anyone’s approval for its eternal connection with Jerusalem and the Western Wall. This is a bond of thousands of years that was shaped by the love of a nation for its God and forged through the fire of destruction.”
IS WHAT HE SAID
“Western Wall Rabbi Tells European Envoys: Jews Don’t Need Your Approval”
IS WHAT ARTICLE TITLE MISLED WITH

EU is Germany controlling Europe like they wanted in ww1 and ww2
“He continued: “The Jewish nation does not need anyone’s approval for its eternal connection with Jerusalem and the Western Wall. This is a bond
of thousands of years that was shaped by the love of a nation for its God and forged through the fire of destruction.””
The problem with his statement is that he is using it as Zionist propaganda, as he is an employee of the Zionist “State” so he has to toe the party line.
The Zionist State, presently controlling Jerusalem, does not represent the Jewish people. The Zionist State represents only Zionism and the citizens of its State, but not the Jewish people.
Therefore, these gentile diplomats’ declining to participate in a Zionist tour is in no way a denial of the Jewish connection to the Western Wall. If anything, their refusal to participate could be an affirmation of the connection that Jews, not Zionists, have to the Western Wall.
