Negative Positive
Title: Major gaps, info biased
Review: This book is most helpful regarding the Old City's Christian Quarter. The other "tours" outside the Old City walls are interesting from an Israeli/Jewish perspective since they have such a bias. The author repeatedly points out how slummy and garbage-strewn certain areas were before the Jewish immigrants tidied things up. I found that annoying. On my most recent visit, I was most interested in learning more about the Mughabi Quarter formerly located in front of the Western Wall. This author mentions that Morroccans once lived there but neglects to explain that Israel bulldozed the entire neighborhood just days after the Six-Day War. That's a grave omission.
Is the review positive or negative?
