What is Jerusalem? This is an ancient city that has had the greatest impact on human history. It is the “single and indivisible” capital of Israel, divided by fences and checkpoints, where 40% of the population does not have Israeli citizenship and does not associate themselves with the state in which they live. It is the only capital whose legal status is still unclear and disputed. This is the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict - one of the most brutal and prolonged in history. This is a shrine that promises pilgrims heavenly grace and mental disorder. This is a place where people have been praying for peace for centuries - but rarely receive it. Why did Jerusalem become like this? Why has blood been shed for the “city of peace” for 5,000 years? How do politicians use historical narratives to justify their claims to Jerusalem? For what reason did a small settlement, lost in the Judean Mountains, become the center of the earth? There is a real book about all this. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
