...wood or the French Riviera. To their credit, the Israelis do protect the religious places. But it is not merely individual shrines that are sacred; the entire city is holy. An internationalized Jerusalem governed by a commission headed by the chief religious leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam would spare the city from further secularization...
