First published in 1981, Jerusalem provides an overview of the
history of Jerusalem and its crucial linkage with the peace and
stability in the Middle East. Jerusalem is unique amongst all the
cities of the world because of its association with three great
religions. It is the spiritual and religious heritage to one half
of humanity and is holy for millions of Christians, Jews, and
Muslims. All three religion have a vital interest in preserving in
addition to their Holy places and sanctuaries, the living presence
of the adherents to their faith in the Holy City. When the Zionist
movement was formed at the end of the last century, the idea of a
Jewish State was conceived as an answer to anti-semitism, and the
movement initially considered other countries for settlement
because Jerusalem was seen as a spiritual rather than a secular
home to the Jewish people. Yet since the creation of the state of
Israel in 1948, Zionism has claimed Jerusalem as its own. It is
obvious that neither the Palestinians, not the Arabs, nor Islam and
Christianity will acquiesce in Israeli domination. This book argues
that the continuation of Zionism in its present form is likely to
prove perilous to peace and stability in the region. This book is
an important historical read for students and scholars of Middle
East studies and Middle East history.
