I once heard an alternate perspective to the Jewish sources about all the conquest of Eretz Yisrael - our sources teach us about all the conquests over the centuries as if Israel is a central focus, while really our land was merely strategic - a way from one empire to the other, perhaps one that offered more resources for feeding and sheltering armies than most of the region. But not a "center."<br /><br />But now we're thought of as very central, even by some major non-Jewish "empires."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
