    The days of the Ottoman Empire have passed. In stark contrast to the past, the government in Jerusalem is committed to security, liberty, freedom of worship and respect for the rights of all minorities.

    The statement today by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to his party activists is absurd, unfounded and distorted. He would be better off dealing with the difficult problems facing his own country.

    The days of the Ottoman Empire have passed. Jerusalem was, is, and will always be the capital of the Jewish people. In stark contrast to the past, the government in Jerusalem is committed to security, liberty, freedom of worship and respect for the rights of all minorities.

    Those who live in glass palaces should be wary of casting stones.
