Revision as of 14:52, 9 April 2009
One Jerusalem is an extreme-right pressure group established in 2000 after the Camp David talks broached the idea of Jerusalem’s shared sovereignty between Israel and a Palestinian state, a notion anathema to hard-core Likudniks. The project is partially underwritten by US casino mogul Sheldon Adelson.[1].
History
An inaugural rally organised by One Jerusalem in January 2001 to protest the proposal of shared sovereignity over Jerusalem attracted a crowd variously described as thousands to 100,000.[2]
Again in 2007, a week before the Annapolis conference the pressure group's chairman Natan Sharansky announced a major campaign against any division of Jerusalem, and against the peace initiative. According to the Connie Bruck of the New Yorker:
- One Jerusalem referred to Annapolis as “the Munich Conference of the 21st century.” After Olmert asserted Israel’s right as a sovereign state to make decisions regarding its national security, One Jerusalem posted an article on its Web site, headlined, “OLMERT TO WORLD JEWRY: SHUT UP.” Later, as Olmert’s negotiations with Abbas continued, another piece announced, “OLMERT DECLARES WAR ON ISRAEL.”[3]
