Summary: | “Judaism developed a special relationship, not only to the entire land of Israel, but to the city of Jerusalem in particular … The rise of modern Zionism in the nineteenth century did not represent a rekindling of interest in the land, but rather was the culmination of eighteen hundred years of developing theology centered upon the land of Israel … This is not to imply that Israel should not compromise and, with adequate safeguards for national security, should not divest itself of Samaria and Judea (the West Bank in the lexicon of the last thirty years). I personally believe that this is the only route to a lasting and just peace.” |
