Reading notes

During the Clinton administration, however, a line of argument prevailed that Jerusalem is really important to only one religious tradition, the Jewish one; and that it is really important to only one people, the Israelis. This intolerant and ignorant thesis is essentially aimed at keeping treatment of the Jerusalem issue in U.S. policy where it has been for the past eight years— hostage to the assumption that the only important question regarding Jerusalem is what Israel will accept.
