Here's where our two Vision.org blogs, Causes of Conflict and First Followers, cross over. I regularly read Jim Davila's PaleoJudaica blog and he has posted an update on Simon Peres's recent visit to Turkey. It concerns the Israeli president's request for the loan of a famous inscription taken in late Ottoman times from Jerusalem.
You can read the report about the Siloam Inscription from circa 703 BCE in the November 17 posting here.
