Jerusalem's Lot was created in 1978.
They were hastened by the Roman sacking of Jerusalem, and the persecution of Jews in Spain.
The majority of the persecution of the Jews by Antiochus Epiphanes took place in the area around Jerusalem. This persecution led directly to the Maccabean Revolt.
In actuality, there was little persecution outside of Jerusalem in the 1st Century. Intense persecution beganin the 2nd century when Rome finally figured out that Christianity wasn't just a Jewsih sect. However, a brief, intense period of persecution did scatter believers out of Jerusalem. It could be posited that ha dthat not happened, Jesus command to take the gospel into "Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth" might have been delayed or ignored.
The Catholic Church was enthusiastically behind the persecution of all that did not profess to agree with its doctrine especially if they had a little money.
For money, fame, and to run away from persecution of Christians.
The last persecution of Christians (303-311) and the worse one, is attributed to the emperor Diocletian. However, there was the work of his co-emperor Galerius behind it. Galerius was a fiercer persecutor than Diocletian. This is the only persecution of Christians which has Benn called Great Persecution.
The Russian Orthodox Church is in the working to minimize any minority religions that are not equal to their own. On account of the Jehovah Witnesses being that of one of the minority religions, yes, the Russian Orthodox Church is, not alone though, behind the persecution of the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Most christians believe that Jerusalem is a holy place, as it is where Jesus taught, preached, healed and was sentenced to death. Jesus spent a lot of his life in jerusalem even thogh he was born in Bethlehem in Nazareth
Well, that depends on your definition of a lot, but I would say yes. Jerusalem is a very important city and a huge tourist attraction considering that it is the birth place is jesus Christ and an important historical site to many religions.
Who should own Jerusalem & other places in the Holy Land.
