For all his faults, Simcha Jacobovici does stumble over some good stuff from time to time. I love the interview with the waqf of the temple mount where he is clearly lying when he claims at one point to be a respecter of all religions. Not to hijack this thread, but I wish people understood that the battle over Jerusalem is a battle over the Temple Mount and the truth of the Temple’s existence.
I have always been deeply saddened by the loss of so many treasures of Christian art, especially mosaics, by the desecration of Hagia Sophia.
Hagia Sofia is an especially sad case, because most of the destruction was done by fellow Christians during the Fourth Crusade (sack of Constantinople).
