Kobi Shashoua

Whose are you really, Jerusalem? Kobi Shashoua

Every few years Israel is awakened to a brutal bloodbath provoked by the slogan "Al Aqsa is in danger". The latest wave started in October 2015 when this slogan was delivered proudly by clergymen, opinion leaders among the Palestinians and the Arabs living in Israel. This call out was enough to excite many Palestinians and Arabs in Israel to launch an indiscriminate campaign of stabbing and terror among the "Jews". In fact, this call out is unfounded since the status quo regarding the administration of the holy sites in Jerusalem has been uninterrupted for decades, but the facts, in fact, are of no consequence. The wave of terror when every day Jews are stabbed by ecstatic terrorists has become a daily reality in Israel. The religious pretext actually raises the question regarding the status of Jerusalem among religions. Is Jerusalem indeed a religious and national center of the Palestinian people or does it belong to the Jewish people from time immemorial? In this book we shall examine this issue thoroughly and leave the reader to draw the conclusions.
