"One Jerusalem," a high profile organization created following the Camp David summit of 2000 to mobilize international grass roots support for keeping Jerusalem united under Israeli sovereignty, has launched a new campaign to counteract the threats posed by the Annapolis summit.
One Jerusalem director Yechiel Leiter told Arutz-7, "For seven years we thought Jerusalem was off the table. Unfortunately, the government of Ehud Olmert is going to Annapolis next week, and we know with certainty, despite the spins that they're offering the general public, that the parameters of Ehud Barak are once again being placed on the table and the danger zone is very wide and very great."
Leiter says One Jerusalem, which is chaired by former minister Natan Sharansky, is launching a "different" and "clever" campaign, which involves the development of a "website family" around Jerusalem, very similar to the campaign sites of US presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. People "will talk to the site and have the site talk back to them," he said.

In addition, a "golden ribbon" campaign to identify with Jerusalem will be launched in the streets. "We are going to paint Jerusalem with gold," said Leiter. "A vast majority of Israelis are opposed today, as they were in the past, to any division of Jerusalem, to any uprooting of the heart of the state of Israel and the Jewish people," he added.
The new section of the website still does not have a fully operational English language version, but English speakers can sign petitions for Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, and see the immediate physical dangers posed by the city's division via an interactive map.
One Jerusalem's inaugural event, the largest rally in the history of Jerusalem, was held in January 2001. More than 400,000 people filled the hills around Jerusalem’s Old City for an unprecedented demonstration of support for Israel’s beleaguered capital city, just four months after the launch of the Oslo Terror War in September of 2000.
