Ground Zero: Jerusalem, holy war, and collective insanity

Ground Zero: Jerusalem, holy war, and collective insanity is a close look at the ‘most explosive real estate on the planet.” The area of the Temple Mount, which includes some of the holiest sites in Islam, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the golden Dome of the Rock, happens to sit in the most heavily weaponized area on earth. This presentation looks at four dark forces of collective insanity that swirl around this place: fundamentalism, messianism, evangelism, and territoriality. The chances of World War Three breaking out over this contested thirty-five acres as these delusional eschatological end-of-times fantasies are acted out is not only plausible, but probable.
