Eternal Jerusalem

"New talks about Jerusalem". "Negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on the issue of Jerusalem will be postponed by five years". Declarations from Shas, and new rounds of issues such as the Refugees...

All these delayed strategies about Jerusalem seem to me as to kick the ball out of the game, to save time, until some political situation can be more settled. May be is the right thing to do because the matters are still "immature"? But I do not believe that the issue should be whether it belongs to Israel or to the Jordanians or the Palestinians, but that it clearly belongs to the world as a World Heritage.

We are guardians of our patrimony, whether is the land, the air, the water, or what our ancestors left to us, not to a group, but as a part of the development as a human race.

The walled area of Jerusalem, which constituted the entire city until the 1860s, is now called the Old City, and was indeed added to the "List of World Heritage Sites in danger" in 1982.

There are certain issues that cannot be debated in isolation. That require an interdisciplinary approach.

So when we are debating political issues, lets not forget that there are things that will go beyond politics. Things that will stand, as a Testimony of how great or how stupid we were. I want to be optimistic about us, humans. It is so very hard sometimes...
