We were founded by our Chairman Natan Sharansky with one simple mission - to protect and defend Jerusalem as the united, undivided capital of the State of Israel. For over a decade, we have remained the only grassroots international organization to defend Jerusalem against all enemies, day in and day out. Thanks to you - our hundreds of thousands of supporters from across the globe, we have had the resources to stand strong and resolute.
But we must not rest on our laurels. Our enemies are persistent and will do all they can to gain a foothold in Jerusalem.
As you read this, a leading Palestinian figure is attempting a hostile takeover of Jewish-owned land overlooking the Temple Mount -- to build over 300 apartments for Palestinians and destroy a Jewish neighborhood. One Jerusalem is acting in complete coordination with the Jewish residents of Nof Zion, and launched a public relations campaign on their behalf.
We are working with Nof Zion day in and day out to inform the Israeli public of this travesty, and to rally them to once again stand up for their capital.
