With Jews purchasing and entering 27 new apartments in the mostly-Arab neighborhood of Silwan, alternative peace activist Yehuda HaKohen joins Yishai Fleisher in-studio to discuss whether Jews are Judaizing Jerusalem. It’s all a matter of narratives.
Plus, the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha and Yom Kippur coincide this year. Prof. Rassem Khamaisi of Haifa University suggests and that could be a recipe for tension while Prof. Ze’ev Maghen, head of Middle East Studies at Bar Ilan thinks it’s an opportunity to bask in the Jewish-Muslim shared heritage. Can Hebron be the place where reconciliation starts? Can Jews learn to make grand pilgrimages to Jerusalem as Muslims make the Hajj to Mecca?
