Israeli Archaeologist Says He Has Found King David's Legendary Citadel
• http://www.businessinsider.com, Daniel EstrinThe present-day Israeli-Palestinian conflict is also wrapped up in the subject. The $10 million excavation, made accessible to tourists last month, took place in an Arab neighborhood of Jerusalem and was financed by an organization that settles Jews in guarded homes in Arab areas of east Jerusalem in an attempt to prevent the city from being divided.
