Jerusalem, if under Moslem rule would not be the same as now !

If the Jews were not running Jerusalem and the Muslims were...things would be far different !

Today because of the British and the Jews, Jerusalem is a free city in a free country. Israel and its' city of Jerusalem are the only real democracy in the middle east. The only country where freedom of speech is allowed.

Other faiths are permitted to follow their beliefs. Women have rights only here.

Please think of all the inventions, and medicine that have come out of Jerusalem and Israel in the last one hundred years. This would not have happened if Israel had been run similar to all of the Islamic countries in the middle east.
