When in I initially went to Jerusalem, I planned to write about the three great monotheistic religions and leave out politics. As I would learn, the politics is about land, and the co-claimants to that land: the indigenous Palestinians who have lived there for 2, years and the Jews who started arriving in large numbers after the Second World War.
By living among Israeli Jews as well as Palestinian Christians and Muslims, I saw, heard, smelled, experienced the police state tactics Israelis use against Palestinians. My research led to a book entitled Journey to Jerusalem. My journey not only was enlightening to me as regards Israel, but also I came to a deeper, and sadder, understanding of my own country.

In time I began to realize what I hadn't known: had it been Jews who were strung up and tortured, it would be news. The process of getting my book Journey to Jerusalem published also was a learning experience.
He assured me that no one other than himself would edit the book. As I researched the book, making several trips to Israel and Palestine, I met frequently with Griffin, showing him sample chapters. The day the book was scheduled to be published, I went to visit MacMillan's. Checking in at a reception desk, I spotted Griffin across a room, cleaning out his desk.
His secretary Margie came to greet me. In tears, she whispered for me to meet her in the ladies room. When we were alone, she confided, "He's been fired. Griffin, she said, had no time to see me.
