The study attempts to clarify the offensives actions against the city of Jerusalem to turn it to a purely Jewish city by changing and manipulating the historical and demographic realities of Jerusalem. The study tries to highlight the ways by which the poet tries to hide and manipulate the historical facts using wordplay and other devices to emphasize the place and the status of Jerusalem in the Jewish and Zionist thoughts. “Jerusalem of Gold” had great nationalism standing at public and critical level in the Jewish society. It where very close to be the national anthem of Israel. It is one of the first enthusiastic poems by Naomi Shemer that reflected the Israeli prospective toward Jerusalem by stating that it is t purely and non-dividable Jewish city. It is the hymn of Israeli people in their public, political, and national festivals | ||||
