1. Peace talks?.... hahaha they are ready to slit our throats
Uzi ,   Israel   (02.25.14)
or drop the match and they admit it. Jordan calls us the enemy.... but leftist Jews think they have a peace partner.
2. WHY WE'RE AT IT MR. FEIGLIN WHY NOT ALSO INCLUDE THE VATICAN
stude ham   (02.25.14)
BEFORE IT BECOMES A MOSQUE? and here we thought that debating the question of who is a jew was nationally suicidal.
3. screwed in the head
Dan ,   nahariya israel   (02.25.14)
What is wrong with us to keep giving away our heritage sites to our enemies? We guarantee freedom of worship for everyone but ourselves. Either throw those terrorist off Temple Mount or give the whole god damn country to our damn enemies. People who do what we do in giving away our heritage doesn't deserve to have one god damn thing.
4. NATO must displace Foreign Arabs to Mecca to protect Jews

5. Just close it
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (02.25.14)
Why tansfer any part of Jerusalem to Jordan. That is an insane precedent. How about just setting up 2 divided areas.: One for Moslems and the other for Jews? That impossible to do? If it is, then maybe Israel should get itself a government that can decide issues.
6. it should belong to an international trust
zionist forever   (02.25.14)
Israel has always been afraid of the Waqf so they let them do what they like. In 1967 Temple Mount was supposed to be open to everybody but the Waqf objected so over the years Israel made it harder & harder for Jew to go there and now if a Jew tries to go pray there they will be lucky to avoid arrest. We need an international trust not connected to the UN. No Israel or muslim countries on this trust and its job will be to look after Temple Mount, make sure no illegal digging goes on, archeology is preserved and without exception everybody is allowed to go pray there. A small synagogue should be built. It would not hold any formal services, no bar mitzvahs or flags flying it would be a small place for Jew to go pray at. Temple Mount is not a settlement whose future will be decided by haggling .
7. Bravo!!!
(02.26.14)
The Mks have that difficult issues to discuss without fear or intimidation that shows they doing their job.
8. Divide the Temple Mount, like Cave of Patriarchs in Hebron
Settlers for Peace   (02.26.14)
Jewish and Muslim areas in the Cave seems to work well, if it can work in Hebron, WHY NOT TRY IT ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT...
9. Equal prayer rights for Jews and Muslims...
Meyer   (02.26.14)
MK Miri Regev (Likud Beytenu) joined in, saying "everyone in the state of Israel will be able to go up and pray at their holy place." She called for the Temple Mount to be managed like the Cave of Machpelah in Hevron, where Jews and Muslims have rotating days to pray.
10. Complications !
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (02.26.14)
The Temple Mount is a religious issue and we should note that all the Gedolei HaPoskim of the last millenia have ruled that we should not ascend the Mount in our state of impurity. According to Rav Elyashiv ztl Maimonides prayed at the Western Wall and not the Mount itself. At best we should allow Jews to visit the area that is definitely not Kodesh at times least likely to cause confrontations. The 'international community' does not recognise East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount as part of Israel, which further complicates matters!
11. Why are there any pals on Solomon's Temple mount?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (02.26.14)
biggest error Israel's made yet, to allow such a military fortress to remain where it is and to be called a 'mosque.' BUILD THE THIRD TEMPLE !!
12. what is there to debate?!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.26.14)
would the moslem world hold a "debate", if christians occupied mecca and built a church over the site of the qaba? and sold they permit it to remain standing, under foreign control, on their holiest site? would christians allow the vatican to be destroyed and replaced with a mosque? so why is even "sovereignty" over our holiest site open for discussion? surely the arabs, of all people, understand what "conquest" means.
13. Temple mont Dyans worst mistake
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (02.26.14)
Moshe Dyan decided not to remove the mosque or muslims on the site of two of Solomon's Temples leaving the most holy site in the hands of the unclean vile and savage pals. They illegally occupy the site of the third temple which will be built. Remove the mosque and the pals. They want any excuse to create another war with Israel, don't let them. KEEP BUILDING!!!

15. To My Israeli Brothers and Sisters
(02.26.14)
Question; What Abraham, Issac and Jacob Do, if they were Israeli MK's right now? When Ha Shem Said: you will dwell in the Land I Give You, which flows with milk and honey, did the Ancient Hebrew/Israeli people conqure Cannan as per Ha Shem's Instuctions? Why is today any different, are there Limitations on Ha Shems Comandments?
16. covenant
john ,   toronto   (07.31.14)
Israeli and Palestinian leaders should reveal to whom they formed covenant for the sovereignty of the temple mount. They have made covenants with foreigners. That is the reason for the wars between the two states.
