Is that the issue for you, that this is all a silly religious thing that you just can’t get because religion is kinda silly? I’m not trying to be harsh. Many people look at it like that.

My question is that when a Muslim screams that something is holy to them, everyone respects that, yet that does not apply to the Jews - even in a case that is utterly clear cut like the Temple Mount as to how the Jews feel about it.

It is not silly, LVQ, it is tragic. And that’s why I have avoided the last couple discussions. We will not improve anything here, and can only damage a valuable voice in the process. I stared at this problem the years I was in Israel, just as i stared at the European displacement of the New World tribes in school. There is only one real, workable answer—the land belongs to those who can hold it.
