David's Contentious City



Click here (CBS) to view a semi-recent 60 Minutes report on the Biblical City of David, and its volatile centrality to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict...

Are ancient scriptural traditions destined to dictate modern secular realities? Can such passionate competing claims ever be resolved peacefully?

This was a very informative interview. Its understandable that people would be upset about the tunnels under their homes and for families to be evicted for an area tourists can visit. I find it insulting for the City of David to be a center of tourism if it is regarded as a holy place. It seems that everyone feels entitled to a part of Jerusalem but that as we know is not possible.
