Conflicted Community: Simon Sebag Montefiore Interview – a Muslim, a Christian and a Jew discuss Jerusalem

This week we’re thrilled to bring our Conflicted Community an
interview with a guest who we all at Conflicted are great fans of –
British historian Simon Sebag Montefiore! Simon is an award winning
historian of bestsellers including Stalin: The Court of the Red
Tsar, Young Stalin, The Romanovs and his most recent work, The
World: A Family History. But today we are here to talk with him
about the newly updated version of his 2011 book, Jerusalem: The
Biography. At the one year anniversary of October 7th, there has
never been a better time to discuss the pivotal place of the city
of Jerusalem in the story of Israel, Palestine and the current
conflict. Thomas, Aimen and Simon discuss the contested nature of
the city’s history from antiquity to the modern day – and where the
city lives in the imaginarium of each of their religious faiths –
Islam, Christianity and Judaism. To listen to more episodes like
this one, you’ll need to subscribe to the Conflicted Community. And
don’t forget, subscribers can also join our Conflicted Community
