Kahanae was a prophet. He knew the God of the Fathers and did not flinch in saying that the Covenant claim of Bnei Yisrael to the Land trumps all other territorial claims of any other nation, on any other land, at any other time. Why such a frenzy over Jerusalem? Why? Muhammed never went there. Why then? Because the Muslim soul knows that Mecca has no intrinsic value. Who else wants it? It is in Jerusalem that the Only True God chose to place his Name. Mecca? It will fall into the dust and fade into oblivion. But Jerusalem, the city of the Great King, the Moshiach, shall stand Forever.
Amen!
