One of the best ways to disinfect the world from lies and deceit is to open the doors and windows and let in the light. Israel continually works toward this goal by opening access to Jerusalem for all to see and experience the capital. While it is certainly important to preserve the archeological artifacts, it is even more important to allow everyone to experience those actual artifacts. In this way, we can preserve the TRUTH about Israel’s ancient roots in Jerusalem. The current walls of the Old City of Jerusalem are actually more modern, dating back “only” a few hundred years. They were constructed by the Ottoman Turks in the 1500s after yet another conquest and occupation of Jerusalem after the destruction of the First and Second Holy Temples. This occupation by the Muslims followed many centuries of occupation by many other conquering nations. Interestingly, there remained at least a small Jewish presence during most of the millennia despite the banishment of most Jews during the Diaspora. Also on display in Jerusalem are the ancient original walls of the city as well as remnants of the Holy Jewish Temples from thousands of years ago. Come, see and experience! Please SHARE the TRUTH about Jerusalem!
