Ah Joan, I love this song. Let's hope that Israel will be able to lay down its swords forever when that country feels safe from attacks on all surrounding Arab countries.

I've seen her sing this in concert twice, and both times it had a lot more impact than this video brings. Also, both times she blew away the recorded version on her recent "Bowery" live concert album. She doesn't have the voice she used to, approaching 70 years old, but she has an integrity and presence that glows on stage, now that a certain shiny performance veneer that I noticed in the 70s and 80s has worn away. Also, her band arrangements work wonderfully for her.

When I heard Joan sing this song it brought tears to my eyes. How sad that some see it only as a lament for israel...

[MrWelsluth]

It makes me sad that some of the commentators on here think that peace is an evil agenda and that wanting peace somehow leads to the persecution of God's people.

@PollyannaBoyer Joan Baez didn't actually write this song.

I love this lady! She has the sweetest, clearest voice I've ever heard. I've been a fan of hers since I was in secondary school! I've been lucky to enough to see her live in Glasgow 4 times, and she takes my breath away every single time! Even this piece of film can't do her amazing voice justice. The topics of her songs which inspire people to care about the world are just an added bonus! Superb!

Joan misled me as a college student . She

made me see Vietnam from a slanted liberal onesided emotional view. Now Communist VietNam is persecuting Christians! She is at it again, using her magnificent voice to stir up emotions. I had to listen to the song twice to be sure. I would be more inclined to believe she cared about peace in Jerusalem if she had mentioned the suicide bombers along with the war machine. In the 60s there was a term thrown around. It was "foggy minded liberal".

@margaretcone You're right there, but hey!! only America can stop throwing people off their land and homes but in fact America is too weak and useless when it comes to the spoiled baby Israel LOL unfortunately Joan the great is dreaming in this song. sallam

I visited Israel and the Palestinian Territories in 1994 and observed that the peace process was working. It began to collapse when a Zionist extremist assassinated Yitzhak Rabin.

[margaretcone]

She is always there before we are. Listen, we have to stop throwing people off their land and out of their home. God and to all believers, God is beyond and eternal. I know many nuns - thoses commies -- and they tell me. Leave the Palestinians alone. i have been there I agree

i got so excited when i saw this.. joan baez doing jerusalem??? "and did those feet in ancient times", pleasantly so.. but still disapointed.

I first heard this song sung live by Steve Earle, for whom I have the utmost respect. However, when I heard Joan Baez sing it in San Francisco it brought tears to my eyes, as it does even now as I listen to this video. Her brilliance as an interpreter of song (her own or others) is nonpareil.
