re: #694 Alouette
What is your source for claiming that the Greek Orthodox Church owns Givat Ram?
Recent BBC and Guardian articles report the new anti-semitic rant that the Knesset was built on stolen Arab farmland (not at my link.)
In 1958, the cornerstone of a permanent knesset building was laid in Givat Ram in Jerusalem, on land leased from the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem. The new building was completed August 31, 1966, and has since been modified and renovated a few times.
I don’t know if the government still pays rent or bought the land.
What Windsagio’s point is, I don’t know.
