  • jerusalem under Jews means freedom, liberty economic prosperity and religious freedom. I wonder how it would be under Islamic control? Mecca comes to mind, where non-Muslims are not truly wanted..... if I'm lying please correct me.

  • -Jlem was a single city for 4000 years. east Jlem only existed for 18 years when the Jordanians took that part of the city in a war to destroy Israel. east Jlem doesn't exist any more than east Berlin exists

    -many Christians and Jews do believe that the return of Jews to Israel and the reunification of Jlem is a sign of messianic times. why should they be treated worse than Muslims who feel that their religion is the correct one? The objection stems from Muslim fear rather than jewish action

  • -jews came independent of their original coutries, normally fleeing them. That is certainly not colonialism

    -when jews conquered Jlem in 1967, it was the first time in 2000 years that the victor of Jlem did not take over the Temple Mt, but left it in the hands of the Muslims. Both Christians and Muslims converted the templ mt to churches and mosques

    -Israel prohibits jews from going up to the temple mt to pray even today

  • The beginning of the video is accurate - that Jews and Muslims got along very well for centuries. Jews were able to come into Jlem under Muslim rule, which they weren't under christian.

    Unfortunately, the balance of the video presents half-facts and total falsehoods.

    -the British were not very helpful to jewish immigration. They turned away boats and killed many jews

    -Jews began coming to Israel under the Ottomans for 30 years before the British came

  • Fantastically narrated and presented. Thumbs up.
