*Fight over Jerusalem


Panorama: A walk in the park part 1/3



BBC Panorama: A Walk in the Park, from 18 January 2010. Jane Corbin walks through the disputed streets and parks of Jerusalem.  


Even though East Jerusalem has been historically Christian Palestinian, many American Christians will say the Israelis have rights to these lands. Many of these same American Christians will NOT be bothered with this video. They will come up with excuses for the  Israelis and will come up with many reasons to blame the victims.. the Palestinians.


What the Israelis are doing is illegal under UN resolutions and against international law. Why is it difficult for Americans to understand the anger of the Palestinians? Answer: the US media only shows one side. Some will say that the land has always belonged to the Israelis because the land was promised to Abraham and to "his seed." But the Israelis abandoned the land. Just the fact that they have returned doesn't mean they automatically have the right to throw out the people presently living there.. the Palestinians.
