[Lead-in] 1. Welcome back, everyone. People have fled the fighting in Israel and Lebanon. But structures, of course, cannot. Shrines and ruins vital to several of the world’s religions are in danger of becoming casualties in this conflict. Our Delia Gallagher reports.
[Story] 2. It's almost impossible to bomb a town in the Middle East without hitting a piece of history. Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, full of ruins and shrines, provide a foundation for many of the world's major religions. Biblos, the Mediterranean Sea town where Israeli ships are now blockading Lebanon is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Just 22 miles from Beirut, the city dates back to 7,000 BC. The word "bible" comes from Biblos. The papyrus on which the bible is written is believed to have entered though this port now under siege.
[Jon Alterman / Director, Middle East Programs, CSIS] “The number of religions and religious movements that have started, not only in Lebanon and Israel, but even in places like Syria that may soon come under conflict. There are people all over the world who look here for their spiritual inspiration and now they see bombs and bullets flying both ways.”
3. The Israeli city of Haifa is the worldwide headquarters of the Baha'i faith founded in Persia in the 19th century. Mount Carmel, high above Haifa, is the site of the Jewish prophet Elijah's cave. Mount Carmel's also home to the Carmelites, a Roman Catholic monastic order of the 12th century that is still there today. Also hit by bombs was Zefad or Safed in upper Galilee, the ancient home of Kabbalah, the mystical form of Judaism began in the 16th century. The book of Genesis traces Noah's son and grandson to this area. In the middle of the fighting in southern Lebanon is the town of Cana, the place where Jesus was said to have turn water into wine.
“One of the things we see in other conflicts is that when something does get hit, people all over the world feel a personal connection, they see the images, but there's also a spiritual connection. So in the event that something goes horribly wrong and one of the religious sites does get hit, we can imagine the resonance of that is going to be much, much more than merely gunfire back and forth.”
