Description

Radical Islam has long desired to seize Jerusalem and cut it off to Christian and Jewish believers. In this book, Israeli diplomat Dore Gold explains why the battle for Jerusalem is intensifying today. Gold shows why only Israel can preserve its holy places for Christians, Jews, and even Muslims, and why uncovering Jerusalem's past--and the truth of biblical history--can be the key to saving its future.--From publisher description.

A very scholarly and well researched work. The Author possesses deep knowledge about the subject matter and articulates his points nicely, in very great detail supported by a wealth of facts.

The teeming undercurrent to the whole narrative is the every permeating and widespread violence perpetrated

in the name of religion. The root cause of this being the inbreeding retards of the Saudi Royal Family. They are funding, encouraging and exporting this virulent strain called Wahabbism, totally misinterpreting the holy book. This small minority that would comprise probably less than 1% of their denomination manages to grab the headlines with their mindless violence, snuffing out all the other moderate voices that want only one thing and that is to live in peace.

The author has managed in about 270 pages to beautifully and eloquently recount the history Judaism and the jewish diaspora starting from the establishment of the First Temple until the present times.
