Looking at the case of Israel and Palestine, this book highlights the nexus between religion and politics through the process of classifying holy places, giving them meaning and interpreting their standing in religious and civil law, within governmental policy, and within international and local communities.Written by a teamRoutledge studies in Middle Eastern politics ;41.Arab-Israeli conflictReligious aspectsReligion and politicsIsraelReligion and politicsPalestineSacred spacePolitical aspectsIsraelSacred spacePolitical aspectsPalestineJewish-Arab relationsReligious aspectsArab-Israeli conflictReligious aspects.Religion and politicsReligion and politicsSacred spacePolitical aspectsSacred spacePolitical aspectsJewish-Arab relationsReligious aspects.322/.1095694Breger Marshall J760562Reiter Yitzhak1630646Hammer Leonard M288913MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824138403321Sacred space in Israel and Palestine4064774UNINA
