Israeli Archaeological Narratives as an Instrument of Land Grabbing By Beth Staton
It was a find, literally, of biblical proportions. Last week, Israeli archaeologist Eli Shukron boldly claimed that he’d discovered the legendary citadel captured by King David in his conquest of 3,000 years ago – a site that has long evaded discovery, but which is regarded as pivotal to Jewish biblical history. Unsurprisingly, the claim is… Continue reading

Why does the BBC hide the truth about Jerusalem? By Ameena Saleem
The BBC’s reporting around the status of Jerusalem is “of such a low standard it fails to qualify as journalism,” say campaigners.
