1. Peace?
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (06.27.11)
Time to put this peace treaty with Jordan to the test. Jordan practices institutional apartheid against Jews. By that I mean, Jordan has laws specifically discriminating against people of the Jewish faith. Are we insane? Why on earth do we allow a Jordanian mafia to administrate the temple mount, within sovereign Israel, and incite against Israel at the same time? Throw down the gauntlet. Jordan either backs the F*** out of Israel's sovereign business, or the WAQF is firmly escorted back across the border to pales...oops...sorry, Jordan. If Jordan feels the need to revive hostilities over this deal, BRING IT ON, you racist pigs.
2. enough. this is israel. do a great job .

3. A good reason
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (06.27.11)
This is an excellent reason to start building this same week! Let them protest, everybody knows what the UN is worth!
4. Let the king fall
Rachel ,   US   (06.27.11)
Israel should stop propping up the Hashemites.
5. Annex all territories ...
Jules   (06.27.11)
... that belong to Israel according to the Balfour Declaration. Isn't it clear that the Arab countries are desperate for all possible reasons to provoke Israel, because otherwise their medieval regimes will inevitably collapse ?
6. BIG words from a little "king" sitting in a
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.27.11)
glass house...!!! Mr. Hussein who denies the "Palestinians" their own state at the expense of Israel, has the guts to meddle in Israels affaires...do you feel well Mr. Hussein ? The time is high, to put the little, but MOST harmful "king" of "Jordan" checkmate...!
7. King Abdullah THE MOUSE THAT ROARED
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.27.11)
He lives in constant fear that he'll end up the way his Grand pappy did, assassinated by one of his own people
8. The Jordanians
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.27.11)
This little tempest in a teacup is being deliberately engineered by the Jordanians in order to deflect attention away from the civil unrest that is brewing just below the surface. It should come as no surprise that the other countries who filed a protest with UNESCO are Egypt, Bahrain and Iraq. Israel will renovate the bridge. There is nothing that UNESCO can do to stop it; keep pushing the issue, and Israel will take control of the Temple Mount. If the Waqf doesn't like it -- oh well. Because I really care so deeply what the Waqf does and does not like.
9. AGREE WITH ALL ME HEART #1
Israeli ,   Tveria   (06.27.11)
YOU SAID IT THE WAY IT IS. ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WOULD DO JUST THAT. BUT HEY, WE ARE JEWS NOW ARN'T WE? AND WE ARE SUPPOSE TO CAPITULATE THE THE WORLD NOW DON'T WE? I WISH WE RAISE A LEADER IN ISRAEL THAT WOULD ACT LIKE YOU JUST SUGGESTED.
10. Moghrabi Bridge
Ayeush ,   Gibraltar   (06.27.11)
I agree to improve and secure the mean for reaching the Wall,but I hope for the preservation of the name "Moghrabi" (Moroccan, as the implies the great contributions of centuries-old immigrations of Moroccan Jews, rich and poor, pious and mystics, to the development of Jerusalem (re: Maimonides, of the Quarianite oldest University of the world in Fes).
11. Toss Jordan Out
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (06.27.11)
They have no claim to OUR Jerusalem. Any and all Jordanian influence and interests should be shut down immediately- and even that is too late.
12. #8 Sarah, if only they all cared as deeply as you do...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (06.27.11)
the world would be a much better place...but alas...oh well...
13. Bridge"covers Temple Gate "Barclays
ExposeTheTempleGate ,   china and israel   (06.27.11)
The "bridge" is not a bridge rather a dirt path that was built over centuries of rubble of all periods and the real reason they dont want it taken down is that it will reveal a major gate into the Temple the famous Barclays Gate built by Herod ! If they dont want to take the temporary wooden bridge down at least excavate a thin layer under it an reveal this historic Temple Gate which would bring honor to the womens section as well.
14. my fondest scenario
daze ,   US   (06.27.11)
Some peace treaty jordan. I hope real soon it can be said:Assume the position jordanian kinglet-there is a whole heap of arabs headed your way
15. The Little King is irked
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.28.11)
Because all the digging has always revealed Hebrew artifacts which establish the Jewish presence, long before the Arabs invaded Whenever the Arabs excavated in the area and found items indicating a Jewish presence, they hauled off the antiquities to the desert and dumped them
