Romans were interested in Jerusalem-----interested in keeping the city UNDER WRAPS--Christians weren't all that interested in Jerusalem .. Rome was the early center of Christendom.
suppressed. So true-----no one other than jews were interested in Jerusalem for a very
long time------and NOW IT IS A BIG DEAL-----because it's JEWISH. No one was interested
in HEBRON either-------but it has been the site of lots of violence because it is important
to JEWS. Jaffa has become a point of interest for arab muslims-----it is a jewish port City.
HAIFA is very important ---now. It is very strategic militarily and industrially and in control
of the seas
Even Brooklyn is getting IMPORTANT.
Beyond jews-----no one in the world had an interest for millennia. I have a special
interest in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It was a thriving jewish city for more than 1000
years and DOUBTLESS harbors all kinds of written materials and other important
artifacts buried in the sands -----TIME TO INTERNATIONALIZE MEDINA (the erstwhile
Yathrib)
