Eli Kavon lectures on The Myth of the Crusades

Thank you to Hostel at Home organizer Ethne Chesterman for giving me the opportunity to lecture today at the La Quinta Inn in Coral Springs for her program. I lectured to enthusiastic students on the way Muslim jihadists have distorted the history of the Crusades in the service of robbing Israel of its right to exist. The libel of the "Zionist-Crusader" is a popular image in the Middle East--but this is just not true. Obviously, Jews are not European knights and a foreign element in the Land of Israel. Jews trace their origins to the Holy Land and have an integral connection to the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea scrolls and many other important events and literature of the Middle East. Thank you Ethne! Thank you to the students!
