History of Jerusalem

The book "The History of Jerusalem (also known as The History of Jerusalem)" by Lebanese historian and journalist Khalil Sarkis presents an important historical work that addresses the city of Jerusalem, the cradle of religions, the crossroads of civilizations, and the arena of conflict throughout the ages. The author meticulously examines the historical roots of Jerusalem since ancient times, refuting the claims and distortions that Jews have attempted throughout the ages to attach to the city's history and falsely attribute it to themselves, relying on distorted translations of the Torah and the Bible. The book also presents the Arab and Islamic role in protecting Jerusalem's identity, and the political and religious events and conflicts that the city has witnessed, making it a center of strife and disagreement throughout the ages. Combining historical narrative with critical analysis, Khalil Sarkis presents a sharp and frank text, exposing attempts at historical falsification and presenting the reader with an authentic Arab narrative that defends the Arab identity of Jerusalem and its sacred status. This book sheds light on one of the most complex issues in history and reality, combining historical investigation with intellectual commitment.
