Most people read about Ateret Cohanim’s work in the news and it is often painted as an extreme rightwing finatical organization. While it is true we are ideological and fanatical about restoring Jewish life to the heart of Jerusalem, most people don’t know the facts behind the other side of our work.

Every time Ateret Cohanim restores Jewish presence in the Old City or in other areas that surround it, the Arab residents end up benefiting. There is increased security, better roads, and all around more peace. In fact, there are many buildings that are managed by Ateret Cohanim where Arabs and Jews live side by side in peace.

Peace comes when we do not fear each other anymore. What the world and especially the Left wants is to make it impossible to coexist. We do not believe that and no our work will bring a permanent peace.
