Jerusalem: Center of Faith—Or Apocalyptic Trigger?
Jerusalem is under assault. In Western diplomatic circles, it is now being argued that by pushing hard for a Middle East settlement, with the redivision of Jerusalem at its core, the flames of radical Islamic rage will be lowered, stemming the tide of al-Qaeda’s ideological spread. Yet the exact opposite is true. So says bestselling author Dore Gold in the paperback edition of The Fight For Jerusalem.
Radical Islam is fed by its sense of victory in the face of repeated withdrawals: a redivision of Jerusalem would not only endanger its holy sites, but also unleash new jihadist momentum on a scale that most political leaders have not begun to consider. With stunning clarity and deep scholarship, Gold reveals:
- Why turning over part or all of Jerusalem to the Palestinians would be tantamount to turning it over to the Taliban
- How Palestinians are destroying archeological evidence of the ancient Jewish presence in Jerusalem, particularly on the Temple Mount
- How Western diplomatic concessions feed wild apocalyptic speculations of radical Muslims-and how Israeli withdrawal from Gaza strengthened Palestinian extremists, not moderates
- How radical Muslims are making common cause with biblical skeptics to deny Old Testament history-and how the latest archeological findings in Jerusalem confirm the historical truth of the Bible
- How the League of Nations Mandate for Palestinian didn’t create a new right of the Jews to settle in Palestine-it acknowledged their pre-existing right to do so
- The role of radical Islam in the “intifada” against Israel
- Why any future negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority over the status of Jerusalem have very little chance of producing an agreement
Holy site, center of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and emerging focal point of radical Islam’s jihad against the West; no city is more important to the peace of the world than Jerusalem. And no book is more important to understanding how that peace can be safeguarded than Dore Gold’s The Fight for Jerusalem.
