Just My Israel — photo status

I put this timeline together to better understand the incredible history of Eretz Yisrael — who controlled the land, and how that control passed from one empire to another over the centuries. What's most amazing is that for 2,000 years, Eretz Yisrael was almost always ruled by foreign powers whose centers of government were somewhere else. Rome, Byzantium, Persia, Muslim caliphates, Crusaders, Egypt, the Ottoman Empire and Britain each controlled the land at different times. Empires came and went, but the Jewish connection to Eretz Yisrael remained — until, after nearly 2,000 years, Jewish sovereignty was restored. Join the JustMyIsrael Status!
