	History of Jerusalem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jerusalem was the capital of the Kingdom of Judah for some 400 years.
		Jerusalem became the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, a feudal state, of which the King of Jerusalem was the chief.
		The first such immigrants were Orthodox Jews: some were elderly individuals, who came to die in Jerusalem and be buried on the Mount of Olives; others were students, who came with their families to await the coming of the Messiah, and adding new life to the local population.

	HISTORY OF JERUSALEM
		It was his intention to transform Jerusalem into a Greek metropolis and his desecration of the Temple that provoked a Jewish insurrection; the ensuing revolt, headed by the Hasmonaeans and led by Judah Maccabee, succeeded in liberating Jerusalem.
		Jerusalem was governed by Roman procurators residing in Caesarea, and ceased to function as the capital of Judea -- although the municipal government remained in the hands of the Jewish high priest and Sanhedrin (rabbinical council), which fulfilled the functions of a municipal council.
		Jerusalem was established as the capital of the Latin Kingdom in the Holy Land.

	Jerusalem - The Peace Encyclopedia
		Another indication that Jerusalem was not considered of great importance to the Muslim armies is the fact that it was one of last cities taken by the Syrian Muslims after the death of Mohammed.
		Jerusalem is not the place to which Muslims pray, it is not once mentioned by name in the Qur'an or in prayers, and it is directly connected to no events in Muhammad's life.
		Once safely back in Muslim hands after Saladin's reconquest, however, interest in Jerusalem dropped, to the point where one of Saladin's grandsons temporarily ceded the city in 1229 to Emperor Friedrich II in return for the German's promise of military aid against his brother, a rival king.

	TIME.com - Jerusalem
		It is worth revisiting Jerusalem during this period not so much in celebration as in curiosity—to know the metropolis that shaped Jesus' last ministry and so wove itself into his great story, and to note, cautiously, the ways in which its vexations foreshadow those of Jerusalem today.
		Jerusalem was one of the biggest cities between Alexandria and Damascus, with a permanent population of some 80,000.
		Jerusalem was a monoculture, comparable to Washington or Redmond, Wash. (It remains so today, although it is now tourism rather than religion that is the city's dominant business.) Unlike many company towns, however, the city in Jesus' time had a cosmopolitan feel.

	Foundation for Middle East Peace :: Rabin Forced to Back Down on Jerusalem Expropriations
		The April 4 announcement for the expropriation of the two tracts of land--84 acres (335 dunams) in the Beit Hanina region of northwest Jerusalem and 50 acres near Beit Safafa in the city's southwest--was published in the local Palestinian press without fanfare and with no expectation that it would cause significant opposition.
		Rabin was confident that negotiations with the Palestinians would not be affected by the action, which he believes is not inconsistent with the terms of Israel's agreement with the Palestinians.
		At a cabinet meeting on May 14, the expropriation was affirmed by the cabinet, along with a pledge noting that "the cabinet has no intention to carry out additional expropriations of land in Jerusalem for housing purposes." Only the four ministers from the Meretz faction supported a proposal to cancel the expropriation.

		According to the Yedioth Ahronoth and Mina Tzemach poll, released Friday, 49 percent of Israelis back a compromise that would see Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhoods and Arab areas adjacent to the capital handed over to the Palestinians, with Jewish neighborhoods and the Western Wall remaining in Israeli hands.
		The implication of the results is that even before talks on Jerusalem’s status have been launched, half of the Israeli public is already willing to accept a compromise in exchange for a peace deal.
		The poll aimed to check whether the threat that “Sharon would divide Jerusalem” has the same effect on Israelis as similar threats had several years ago.
