When the stones speak : the remarkable discovery of the City of David and what Israel's enemies don't want you to know
by Doron Spielman
"Since the founding of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have faced nine wars against multiple enemies. Yet, beyond the physical conflicts, a deeper ideological battle has been waged against Israel and the Jewish people. This war, crafted by certain Arab leaders and echoed by international organizations like the United Nations, seeks to erase the Jewish people's ancestral ties to the land, casting them as outsiders, imposters, and "settlers." One thing, however, stands in the way of the denialists: the 3,800-year history of the City of David."
