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 team 410 0$aRoutledge studies in Middle Eastern politics ;$v41. 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xReligious aspects 606 $aReligion and politics$zIsrael 606 $aReligion and politics$zPalestine 606 $aSacred space$xPolitical aspects$zIsrael 606 $aSacred space$xPolitical aspects$zPalestine 606 $aJewish-Arab relations$xReligious aspects 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aReligion and politics 615 0$aReligion and politics 615 0$aSacred space$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aSacred space$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aJewish-Arab relations$xReligious aspects. 676 $a322/.1095694 701 $aBreger$b Marshall J$0760562 701 $aHammer$b Leonard M$0288913 701 $aReiter$b Yitzhak$01630646 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824138403321 996 $aSacred space in Israel and Palestine$94064774 997 $aUNINA
