Sadly, despite all the evidence, there are powers in the world that seek to undermine
the Jewish right to their city and who refute the facts on the ground. Significantly, they are trying to refute the truth of the Bible.
Last year, a leaked EU document was published accusing Israel of trying to push a “narrative” of the Jewish presence in Jerusalem “at the expense of other religions and cultures”.
The report, published by the European Union Heads of Mission in Jerusalem and made public by The Guardian, accused Israel of using archaeological digs in east Jerusalem “as a political tool to modify the historical narrative and to support, legitimise and expand settlements”.
