Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is the sacred birthplace of three religions with over 3 billion followers. It is the embodiment of history. This is why it is also embroiled in conflict.
Poetically and spiritually Jerusalem is the embodiment of the future. It isn't just a place on the earth, Its name represents to many the attainment of the highest human ideals - the place of mind to which humans aspire.
Jerusalem's conflict and its potential to be a guiding light depends on our collective ability to appreciate the complexity of its history and meaning for more than half of humanity, and to transform Jerusalem's challenges into opportunities.
For Israel to be truly secure, it needs a partner in America who appreciates the complexities and difficulties that stand in the way of peace, yet a partner that is driven by ideals.
This is why I started this website.
