Thank you for adding to our store of songs about Jerusalem. smiley - smiley I used to live in Greece, and I love eastern Mediterranean music.

I share your concern. smiley - peacedove If 'Zion' is to be a hill dedicated to God, then it should be a place of peace and welcome, not of hatred and division.

"Jerusalem" was also the title of a poem by William Blake. It was set to music by Hubert Parry. There is no need for me to say more. smiley - smiley
