Three thousand years in order, from David's Jerusalem to today: the kingdoms and exiles, every war, every major attack, and every peace offer made and rejected. Drop in at any point, and tap a moment to open the full account, with its image and sources. Filter by what you want to trace.
Arguments about Israel almost always fight over a single frozen moment, lifted out of the sequence that explains it. This is the sequence: three thousand years in order, from David's Jerusalem and the Temples, through exile, expulsion and return, to the founding and the present day. Nothing here is spin: kingdoms and exiles, wars, attacks, treaties and rejected offers, in the order they happened. And the order is what a headline leaves out: it leads with the strike that answers, rarely the rocket, the massacre or the broken truce that came first. Read the order, not the headline.
