the air over Jerusalem is saturated with prayers and dreams. . . . It's hard to breathe.
So wrote a Jewish poet, but other people find it beautiful to live in Jerusalem. Here's an interesting take:
Those Israelis who respond to the violence by insisting ever more loudly that Jerusalem is the eternal, undivided capital of the Jewish people, Mr. Laqueur concludes, "fail to understand that the city is already divided. "The prophet Isaiah, he remarks, "said many wonderful things about Jerusalem--that for Zion's sake he will not keep silent, and that out of Zion will go forth the law. But he did not say that his right hand will forget her cunning unless the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Health are located in this city."
