Historians look at the period from the birth of Jesus Christ known as the Common Era (C.E) or “In the Year of Our Lord” (Anno Domini — A.D) to the Muslim conquest and consolidation of the Levant as the most tumultuous for the Hebrew peoples (Jews and Samaritans) of the Holy Land during the last two millennium until their plight was rivalled by the pogroms and Holocaust of the last century.

In a world where attitudes and behaviors that were taboo not long ago are now acceptable in a world where the future is frightening to many, we appear to be the helpless onlookers of a process we have no control over.
