Scary Jew Shadow on Cover of Time Magazine
Time Magazine cover of Aug. 13, 2012
New York - There is a new battle being waged over the future of Jerusalem, but not between the usual Israeli and Palestinian players. According to TIME Magazine, (http://ti.me/TcEpA2) in their cover story out this week entitled ‘The Battle for Jerusalem,’ this time, the warring factions are the ultra-orthodox or ‘charedi’ Jews and the secular Israelis.
TIME author Karl Vick writes, ‘Since 1967, Jerusalem has become a resolutely Jewish city, so much so that the central question preoccupying residents today is not how it might be divided with Palestinians – for they are widely ignored of late – but rather just how religiously conservative the city can become while remaining a place most Israeli Jews could imagine living.’ The article states that the ultra-orthodox have only recently made a ‘Lazarus-like comeback,’ one which ‘threatens the fabric of Israel, or as they see it, points the way to the nation’s salvation.’
