According to biblical tradition, the patriarch Jacob pitched his tents on the plain of Khiam – a name that literally means “the tents.” Millennia later, the same ridge has become a recurring battlefield.

The occupation state that invokes Jacob’s inheritance as a historical justification has spent decades trying to seize this hilltop and has never managed to hold it.

The irony is neither subtle nor accidental.
