Israelis and Palestinians
I too hope that justice prevails, Mr. Kuttab. In the case of East Jerusalem, when the Palestinian Arabs (Jordan) controlled it (1948-1967), the Jews were kept out. They weren’t allowed to pray at their holiest site, the West Wall. Moreover, to show their contempt for the Jews, the Palestinian Arabs used Jewish grave markers to line their latrines and desecrated more than 50 Jewish places.
Now under Israeli control, all religious sites are open to all sects and are rigorously protected by the Jews.
Yes, let’s hope that justice indeed prevails and East Jerusalem stays under Israeli jurisdiction. That, Mr. Kuttab, would be justice.
