A Step-by-Step Stroll Shall We Take?

A street recently uncovered in the capital's City of David was, metaphorically, "the last seam of independent Jews in Jerusalem,"...The street connects the Jews who lost their Second Commonwealth independence in 70 CE, and the Jewish people today..

Located 550 meters south of the Temple Mount, the excavation is being conducted under the auspices of Prof. Ronny Reich of the University of Haifa and Eli Shukron of the Antiquities Authority.



"The [Jewish] pilgrims would begin the ascent to the [Second] Temple from here. This is the southernmost tip of the road, of which a section has already been discovered along the western face of the Temple Mount," Reich said in a statement.

And they say Jerusalem doesn't belong to the Jews? That we're recent immigrants or a foreign implant? That we're here only because of European antisemitism? That the Arabs have been here forever, as, disguised as Jebusites and Canaanites, they preceded Jews here (and left nothing behind except a mosque built in the 7th century and osme later administrative buildings which we had to discover for them)?

And there are people who believe all the Arabs claims and discount any Jewish historical right.

Woe be they.
