Jerusalem was an ancient city on Earth, in the Middle Eastern region. Jerusalem was the historic capital of the State of Israel and is a holy city in the Human religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

History[]

Inhabitants of Jerusalem unintentionally instigated the Human myth in which guilty people were banished to a location that was on fire. In ancient times, parents threatened misbehaving children with being sent to a refuse fire pit outside the city. While discussing the Furies, Spock mentioned Jerusalem's connection to that aspect of folklore. (TOS - Invasion! novel: First Strike)

In 332 B.C.E., Jerusalem and Tyre were conquered by the army of Alexander the Great. Millennia later, young Khan Noonien Singh read The Life of Alexander the Great and imagined that someday he would do the same. (TOS - The Eugenics Wars novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1)

The city was the subject of a number of military conflicts during Earth's Middle Ages, which would come to be called Crusades. The city of Salem, Massachusetts was named in its honor, by colonizing American Pilgrims in the 17th century. (TAS episode: "The Magicks of Megas-Tu")

Jerusalem was captured during the First Crusade. (DS9 - YA novel: Arcade)

One Picard family heirloom was a St. Christopher medallion believed taken from Jerusalem during the Crusades. (TNG - YA novels: Starfall, Nova Command)

On 1 May 2053, Jerusalem was one of a number of cities that suffered a nuclear attack at the onset of World War III. (TLE novel: The Sundered)

Jerusalem and the surrounding area were the subject of much archaeological study in the modern age, as the city was built in layers upon ruins of previous eras. (CoE eBook: Ghost)

In 2266, celebrated Earth mathematician and pacifist Alfred Bleikoff, cryogenically frozen in the 1990s, was revived aboard the USS Enterprise. Once on Earth, he embarked on a campaign to have the planetary Earth defense screen removed, and his persuasive personality swayed audiences. He delivered speeches in Rome, Mariana City, New Chicago, and then in Jerusalem. He was greeted upon arrival by Mayor Abdula and General Hershkoqitz, head of security, and taken to a studio to make his appeal. (TOS comic: "Prophet of Peace")

In 2372, Kamilah Goldstein was buried in Jerusalem. (SA comic: "Passages")

Little has been established about the disposition of Jerusalem in the Star Trek era, though it is known that the Israeli/Palestinian conflict was eventually peacefully resolved.
