Bowen quoting thoughts of a visitor to the Western Wall

Jeremy: I was filming near the Western Wall when a woman stopped with her own peace plan, "This is like the magnet site for sanctity.  Everyone who turns up in Jerusalem made something out of it, unfortunately.  The only hostage is God and they need to move him somewhere else."

Jeremy: That is not going to happen.  Jerusalem and its holy sites sit at the heart of the Middle East like a time bomb.  Its sanctity is tangled intimately with nationalism and power.  Jews, Christians and Muslims have, at different times, controlled Jerusalem often for centuries.  Jewish kings, Roman emperors, Byzantines, Persians, Muslim caliphs, Crusaders, Mamluks, Ottomans, European imperialists and, most recently, Israelis.  All long to possess Jerusalem both above and below ground.
