Kudos to those who planned the event. Its gestures like these that inspire service men and women to be patriotic, selfless in service and help them to realise that their labours are appreciated.

below is the full text of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the inauguration ceremony of the US embassy in Jerusalem.

Dear friends,

What a glorious day. Remember this moment. This is history. President Trump, by recognizing history, you have made history.

All of us are deeply moved. All of us are deeply grateful.
For me, being here brings back wonderful memories from my childhood. [Hebrew]

So, I know some of you didn’t follow every word I said in Hebrew, and I’ll tell you that I spent the first three years of my life in this neighborhood, in Ein Gedi Street in Talpiot, which is not very far away. There were a few charming houses here, many open fields. I remember ambling in these fields with my brother, Yoni. He was six; I was three. He held my hand very tight. We’d walk to this wondrous house of Professor Joseph Klausner, the renowned Jewish historian who was my father’s teacher. I used to peer through the slats of the wooden synagogue where he and the great Israeli writer, Shai Agnon, used to pray on Shabbat. And David, I would approach this place right here, but only so far, because my mother told me, ‘You can’t go any further.’ This was near the border. It was exposed to sniper fire. That was then. This is now, today.

Today, the embassy of the most powerful nation on earth, our greatest ally, the United States of America, today its embassy opened here.

So for me this spot brings back personal memories, but for our people, it evokes profound collective memories of the greatest moments we have known on this City on a Hill.

In Jerusalem, Abraham passed the greatest test of faith and the right to be the father of our nation.

In Jerusalem, King David established our capital three thousand years ago.

In Jerusalem, King Solomon built our Temple, which stood for many centuries.

In Jerusalem, Jewish exiles from Babylon rebuilt the Temple, which stood for many more centuries.

In Jerusalem, the Maccabees rededicated that Temple and restored Jewish sovereignty in this land.

And it was here in Jerusalem some two thousand years later that the soldiers of Israel spoke three immortal words, ‘Har ha’bayit be’yadeinu,’ ‘The Temple Mount is in our hands,’ words that lifted the spirit of the entire nation.

We are in Jerusalem and we are here to stay.

We are here in Jerusalem, protected by the brave soldiers of the army of Israel, led by our Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, and our brave soldiers, our brave soldiers are protecting the borders of Israel as we speak today. We salute them all, and the members of our security forces, the Shin Bet and the Mossad, whose head is with us today. We salute you all, all of you.

Over a century ago, the Balfour Declaration recognized the right of the Jewish people to a national home in this land. And exactly 70 years ago today, President Truman became the first world leader to recognize the newborn Jewish state. Last December, President Trump became the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem as our capital. And today, the United States of America is opening its embassy right here in Jerusalem.

Thank you. Thank you, President Trump, for having the courage to keep your promises. Thank you, President Trump, and thank you all, for making the alliance between America and Israel stronger than ever. And thank you, a special thank you, to you, Ambassador Friedman. Thank you, David, for everything you do to bring our countries and our peoples closer together. Today, you have a special privilege. You are privileged to become the first American ambassador to serve your country in Jerusalem, and this is a distinct honor that will be yours forever. Nobody can be first again.

My friends, this is a great day for Israel. It’s a great day for America. It’s a great day for our fantastic partnership. But I believe it’s also a great day for peace.

I want to thank Jared, Jason and David for your tireless efforts to advance peace, and for your tireless efforts to advance the truth. The truth and peace are interconnected. A peace that is built on lies will crash on the rocks of Middle Eastern reality. You can only build peace on truth, and the truth is that Jerusalem has been and will always be the capital of the Jewish people, the capital of the Jewish state. Truth, peace and justice – as our Supreme Court Justice here. Hanan Melcer, can attest – truth, peace and justice, this is what we have and this is what we believe in.

The prophet, Zechariah, declared over 2,500 years ago, ‘So said the Lord, ‘I will return to Zion and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth.’

May the opening of this embassy in this city spread the truth far and wide, and may the truth advance a lasting peace between Israel and all our neighbors.

G-d bless the United States of America and G-d bless Jerusalem, the eternal, undivided capital of Israel.

Baruch atah A-donai Elokeinu melekh ha’olam shehecheyanu vekiymanu vehigi’anu lazman hazeh [Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the Universe, who has granted us life, sustained us and enabled us to reach this occasion.]”

Thank you. The event was a huge success. We made 3/4 bag of rice and there was enough to go round.

Thank you all for your suggestions

Please I need information on how to travel from Ugheli to Abuja by road. Thank you

please post price and location if you sell or have bought glyspring lately. thank you

Thank you all for your replies. I am not the directly the one gunning for this but my girl friend. She is hanging unto the physiotherapy but i feel that MPH will better position her because physiotherapists may have limited opportunities especially here in Nigeria as compared to those who study public health. Also, she doesn't want to go into academics.

Please i need sound advice on choosing between MSc. Physiotherapy and MPH. Your counsel with reasons will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Nigerians with mediocrity! How does inability to compete in English with the head boy of his secondary secondary school the same thing as been brainless?

I need somebody who makes handmade shoes and who can deliver as at when due. Send me a private message if you are one.

All i see U say here is how you cannot leave her because of what she has done for U but i want you to sincerely answer these questions:
1. If she no longer has the capacity to cater for U, will you still love and want to be with her?
2. Is her provision the only motivating factor behind you wanting to be with her?
because from what you said, your mom also likes the benefits you are getting from the lady only that she sees your settling down with her as a disaster.
FINAL WORD: please carefully analyze the situation without sentiments. Perhaps you might agree with your mom that even though you enjoy her benevolence, settling down with her is not the best idea. #Selah

Reach me on 08158402376 for Solar freezer...

Please house, where can i get a solar powered ice block making machine in Nigeria and how much (if possible)?

Where are the Sokoto participants in the house?

Jethrolite:
Your argument is off point.

because you are just after the job and not the impact/value such an investment will deliver

Jethrolite:
1.7m applied for admission last year, 1.6m this year and not more than 350k will gain admission. We need industries but we also need more universities. Besides the university will also create direct and indirect jobs.

Is it just about jobs and admissions? How have they maintained their polytechnic and the college of education? Has zamfara been able to fill its quota at the federal University Gusau? These are penitent questions we should be asking. Pupils are still learning under trees and their schools are full of unqualified teachers who cant teach in English due to the poor pay yet he is here talking of a university.

bilal4riid:
Yeah, 19-21 and u?

same

Anybody in the house attending the class in Sokoto?

bilal4riid:
PLEASE HAS ANY BODY FROM NORTHWEST GOTTEN THE EMAIL

Yes. Sokoto to be precise

Please when did they send notification mail for the commencement of the master class training?

Paperwhite:
Yet Shehu Sanni never rejected his own share of the largesse if he is convinced that it's grossly over-estimated.That is my grouse with him.

Did you even read the interview? chai!!!

Please anyone with Techno A7 (phantom z mini) screen for sale should let be know. thanks

Bros let's be forward here! the garri or wastage isn't your main concern as you seem to sound. Its obvious that she's cheating on you and probably just needs you for the accommodation so sit her down and bring up all these points you just did here. Tell her you have endured her excesses for too long and can't cope with them anymore. By the way, how can somebody who is so stressed that the pussy is exponentially expanding use the only resting period she has to do tutorials for her school son(s)?

From what I can glean from your post, your dad's attitude is the main reason you want to leave. My take is that you patiently wait till you get married before leaving because leaving now will only serve to infuriate him more and those you leave behind (mom and siblings) will have increased trouble to deal with.

Is it possible to deliver in Sokoto?

I need information on where/how i can buy bulk data to resell

Please I need information on the above. The lady in question is from Big Qua. I will really appreciate insider knowledge

Please I need concrete info as to how universities compute weighted score i.e how they compute it for MSc grades as requirement for PhD admission (some set it to 60%). thank you

princemillla:
Back up and factory reset. It should solve the Corrupt os

Ok. Thanks
