Dear Editor:

The Zionistas thank President Trump for boldly recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, thus beginning the process of moving our embassy there.

Since 1995, when Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act for the purpose of initiating the relocation of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have consistently waived enacting this law, citing national security interests. But President Trump made the decision to do the right thing and kept his campaign promise, taking steps to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

We know that many have and continue to criticize his decision, and that’s why we are taking this moment to express our thanks and appreciation for his faithfulness and courage.

We also would like to thank Christians United for Israel and the many Christian and Jewish organizations who have supported the president.

The Zionistas urge Heritage readers to send their own and/or their organization’s letter of thanks the President.

The Zionistas Board—Sandi Solomon, Eva Ritt, David and Harriet Moldau and Judy Shujman.
