Jerusalem has a long history dating back to Abraham. It has been ruled by many different groups including the Canaanites, Israelites, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Muslims, and others. Key events include King David establishing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 1000 BC, the destruction of the first temple by the Babylonians in 586 BC, the rebuilding of the second temple by the Persians in 516 BC, and the destruction of the second temple by the Romans in 70 AD.
Ron Wyatt encontró la auténtica ruta del cruce del Mar Rojo, y el auténtico monte Sinaí, en la península de Arabia (no en Egipto), donde encontró restos arqueológicos del pueblo de Israel, columnas conmemorativas del paso e incluso ruedas y artefactos de los carros del farán en el fondo del mar. Este dato coincide con el del historiador Flavio Josefo y con el apóstol Pablo (carta a los Gálatas). Por el contrario el emplazamiento en Egipto (península de Sinaí) fue designado por la madre del emperador Constantino y posiblemente sin ningun dato histórico, pese a la tradición existente.
Facts of the city of Jerusalem, the most controversial piece of land in the world, more specifically the Old City and Temple Mount. Despite the overwhelming evidence that it is the land of the Israelites, it is unbelievable that UNESCO has decided that the Temple Mount has no connection with historic Israel, all because of over 50 Muslim Nations hard pressuring on the Islamic conquest of Israel and occupying it for centuries. With so much of archaeological proof of this land with Israeli history for over 3000+ years, who can believe the false claim of the Muslim world - that religion having come into existence just 1000 years ago. Their claim over Jerusalem is the furthermost thing from the truth. It is the moral obligation of all Christians to stand with Israel as the rightful custodian and people of Jerusalem, as it is the heart of Christianity's Holy Land.

The Holy Land: An Excursion through Faith and HistoryAiman Abdul Haris
Jerusalem, the holy land of three faiths. Yet it is bounded with preposterous rumours and wild accusations.
In this photo journal, the writer proves all the rumours false as he travels across the borders of the iron walls, through the
Judean wilderness and reaching the iconic Temple Mount.
A must read for anyone wanting to know the truth behind what lies in Jerusalem.
Land of Pyramids, Petra, and Prayers - Egypt, Jordan, and Israel Tourppd1961
This is the presentation of photos and history of Land of Pyramids, Petra, and Prayers from our Egypt, Jordan, and Israel Tour during February, 2020. This was prepared and presented to the family and friends on 19th July, 2020.
The Dome of the Rock, often represented with an Islamic crescent on top, became the image for the Temple in Jewish, Christian and Moslem art for over 500 years. How and why this historical anomaly persisted is the subject of a fascinating in-depth study of Jewish, Christian and Moslem imagery and its interpretation spanning more than 2,000 years of biblical & later history by Dr. Pamela Berger, professor of Medieval Art at Boston College, Boston, MA.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Dear Lord Rothschild,

the Cabinet:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in
Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their
best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being
clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice
the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in
Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any
other country".
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the
knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely
Arthur James Balfour

87. the situation today
Israel left Gaza in 2005, leaving the area under
Palestinian control. In 2007, elections were held in
Gaza and Hamas seized power. Hamas seeks to
conquer the territories of Israel and restore control of
the Land of Israel to the Arabs. The Gaza evacuation
was a test case of the Palestinian will for peace. Gaza
has become a focal point for launching rockets at
Israel.
People of Israel wants to evacuate the West Bank and
contain the two-state solution. The Palestinians do
not see the two states solution as the end of the
conflict and declare that after they establish a state in
West Bank and Gaza they will continue fighting to
bring back all refugees, who fled Israel in 1948, back
into Israel.
Israel cannot accept a situation in which the West
Bank will become hostile territory like in Gaza and is
forced to continue controlling the West Bank.
