“The Temple Mount is in our hands.”
With this single radio transmission a new era in Israeli and Jewish history began. For the first time since the Romans, Judaism’s holy places were in Jewish hands, with huge implications for the relationship with land, power, and even God. From 1967-1977 Israel will experience three wars, waves of terrorism, terrible losses and exceptional victories, a huge political realignment, social upheaval, and The Occupation — Israel’s military control over Palestinians on the land that came under its rule in the short, six day war of 1967. For the first time in history the Jewish people found themselves with power over others, and control over nearly the entire historic Land of Israel. Dive into an action-packed season of one of the most important decades in Israeli history.
