3. Chaos and Mayhem
Brod ,   USA   (03.04.13)
Israel should insure peace and security at home. This can be done by not having Obama visit Israel and foment chaos and mayhem.
4. Why not? Al Aqsa is in the middle of the capital of Israel.
robert renders ,   belgium   (03.04.13)
5. Holy site
(03.04.13)
What holy site. Your holy site in Mecca & Medina.
6. visit Al Aqsa
david ,   belgium   (03.04.13)
Al Aqsa is onder Israel controle and Obama comes to visite Israel and he is free to go where he wants. In your Muslem countries you can decide but not in Israel
7. According tp intern.aw Jerusalem holy places are open to all
Jouko ,   Finland   (03.04.13)
Why some holy places belong to muslims only - even if the temple mount is Judaism holy place originally!
8. Jouko - because muslims are racist, they do not allowed.....
Daniela   (03.04.13)
non muslim to enter Al Aqsa and the dome of the rock.
9. It was wrong to give them any authority
Avi   (03.04.13)
Give them a finger and they take the hand while claiming to own the arm. Destroying ancient archaeological artifacts, inflaming the whole area, making demands and hindering necessary infrastructure work. Who thought it was a good idea to reclaim our holiest sites which were turned into garbage dumps by Jordan, only to give control of it to an Islamic group that got too comfortable and intoxicated in the power we gave them?
10. Sign a peace deal and all Palestinian prisoner get release
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (03.04.13)
Stop avoiding negotiations, return to the table that was left in 2008 and then the prisoners can be part of the final deal.
11. Modern world and Islam
USA   (03.04.13)
Why are Muslims to intolerant, hatefilled, unable to get along, ultra-bigoted religiously, uncivilized and so backward? WHY???!!!!
12. Jouko Finland
(03.04.13)
Muslims are not racist, but the master of racist, apartheid, and the best is violent religion.
13. Educate these loony birds as a REQUIREMENT of "peace"
hippocrates ,   earth   (03.04.13)
These dolts must know that Mohammed was born 600 yrs after the Jewish Temple stood. Get it? Its ours. We dont ask for much, just the 0.1% of the middle east which happens to be the Jewish peoples only eternal homeland since 3800 BCE
14. obama can take the damned thing with him to Mecca
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.04.13)
and bow before the Saudi King who is his boss.
15. Sorry to say this but......
koose E Mack ,   ny ny   (03.04.13)
Sometimes people abuse and miss use their religions i.e. JudeoXtrian religions....The religions are generally not the problem; the people are. In Islam, it's a combination of the religion and some of the populations that adopted Islam. Islam directly contradicts the Torah. i.e.:..Muslims hold that Ishmael, not Yitzchak, was the Akeidah....that is a blasphemy. However, if you tell a Muslim that, he'll want to take your head!
16. To: Jouko at No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.04.13)
Actually, international law has nothing to do with it. Under Jordanian control, Jews and some Christian sects were barred from visiting places holy to them. The Western Wall (the Kotel) was used as a rubbish dump. Only since Jerusalem's unification have the holy sites been open to all. The mistake was in allowing the Waqf to control the Temple Mount. That needs to come to an end. Jerusalem is Israel's capital, it is not an international city.
17. Islamists must understand
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (03.04.13)
they cannot impose their supremacist, racist religion on the jewish state. they can do so in europe, where the authorities fear their own shadows, but not in democratic jewish israel.

19. To pray or not to pray?
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (03.04.13)
Obama began life as a Muslim like his father, but chose to be a Christian, assuming Jeremiah Wright is a Christian. So does that mean Obama can or cannot dare to pray on the Temple Mount? Can he pray if he doesn't move his lips? Perhaps he should stick to the Kotel Paza and/or Robinson's Arch.
20. Imagine
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (03.04.13)
Imagine that a terrorist can tell a U.S. President where he can and cant go to. Of course Obama will Kowtow to the demands of the terrorists.
21. #3 Israel will decide
Get Real ,   UK   (03.04.13)
Perhaps Obama should go first to Syria to see peace and security? Israel will determine who will visit its own capital, not the supporters of terrorists, and will ensure that Arab threats and protesters do not forment chaos and mayhem.
22. WAQF
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (03.04.13)
If Obama cannot visit the Temple Mount without the Palestinians rioting then all authority over the Temple Mount and responsibility should be taken away from the WAQF and returned to Israel, its rightful owner. The al-Aqsa mosque can be dismantled and construction of the 3rd Temple may begin.
