Parks and Occupation: Archaeology is the new security
The Biblical blueprint is being dragged up around our feet, seeking to use what is under the ground as evidence of divine right and the political and territorial sovereignty it supposedly affords us.

Israel’s very own tunnels of dread in Jerusalem
